Pole vault world leader Piotr Lisek leads Poland's squad of 25 for the IAAF World Indoor Championships Birmingham 2018 from 1-4 March.
Lisek, who took the European indoor title one year ago and world indoor bronze in Portland in 2016, topped 5.91m at the IAAF World Indoor Tour stop in Torun last week, the season's highest vault. The 25-year-old also took silver at last year's World Championships in London.
On the track, the leading medal contender is Adam Kszczot, who raced to back-to-back 800m silver medals at the past two editions of the World Championships. The 28-year-old is unbeaten in five appearances this season and has already clinched the event title on the IAAF World Indoor Tour.
Another athlete who'll be bringing strong momentum to Birmingham is Konrad Bukowiecki, the European indoor champion in the shot put who improved to 22.00m with his victory at the Copernicus Cup last Thursday.
