In the recent 1500m final in Tokyo, British athlete Jake Wightman earned a silver medal, marking his return to a global podium. The 2022 world champion, who had previously missed two major championships due to injury, finished two-hundredths of a second behind Portugal’s Isaac Nader, who secured the gold medal. Concurrently, British team-mate Josh Kerr, the defending champion, sustained an injury midway through the race, which ended his bid to retain the 1500m title.
