Jessica Hull has claimed silver in the women's 1500 metres at the World Athletics Indoor Championships with a time of 3:59.45, according to reporting from the championships.
Hull's runner-up finish marked a new Oceanic record, as she became the first athlete from the region to break 4:00 indoors. The Australian runner led the chase pack for much of the race, steadily closing the gap lap by lap before catching the race leader just as the bell sounded, then running a blistering final lap to secure the silver medal.
Great Britain's Georgia Hunter Bell took gold with a time of 3:58.53, while USA's Nikki Hiltz claimed bronze in 3:59.68.
Hull's medal haul in Torun did not stop there. In the women's 3000 metres, Hull won bronze with a time of 8:58.18. Italy's Nadia Battocletti secured gold in 8:57.64, with the USA's Emily Mackay taking silver in 8:58.12.
The 29-year-old's performance at the championships held from 20 to 22 March 2026 at the Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena Torun caps a strong year for the Australian middle-distance specialist. Hull has already collected a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in the 1500 metres.
