US sprinter Ronnie Baker will compete in the 60m at the Belgrade Indoor Meeting, part of the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold, at the Athletics Hall in Banjica on 29 January.
Baker, the 2018 world indoor bronze medallist, is one of the fastest 60m sprinters in history. The PB of 6.40 he set in Albuquerque in 2018 places him third on the world all-time list, while he has dipped under 6.50 another 10 times in his career so far.
He won the overall men's World Indoor Tour 60m title in 2020 and his 100m PB of 9.83 was set at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
The Belgrade Indoor Meeting will be the second World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting of 2025. Another Gold meeting – the Copernicus Cup in Torun on 16 February – has announced that home star Natalia Bukowiecka will contest the 400m.
