Jordan Anthony’s final clocking was 6.41 seconds — the world-leading mark for the season. (worldathletics.org) The 21-year-old took the world indoor crown in his first trip outside the United States, having turned professional roughly nine months after winning NCAA titles and The Bowerman at the University of Arkansas. (nbcsports.com) Anthony entered the championships off a national 60m victory on March 1, 2026, where he beat training partner Noah Lyles to claim the USATF indoor title. (nbcsports.com) The medals were decided by thousandths: Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson took silver in 6.45 while Trayvon Bromell was awarded bronze also at 6.45, and Britain’s defending champion Jeremiah Azu finished fourth in 6.46. (nbcsports.com) Anthony’s 6.41 moves him onto the sport’s all‑time short‑list — a joint-fourth-fastest indoor 60m — with only Christian Coleman (6.34), Maurice Greene (6.39) and Ronnie Baker (6.40) recorded faster times historically.
