Summary
Preet Majithia dives into the final day of action at the 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Poland.
Some of the biggest moments from day 3 include:
- 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus won his first World medal like a true pro, covering every move just right in the final of the World Indoor 800m to hold the lead and claim gold in 1:44.24. He became the youngest World Indoor champion in history.
- Keely Hodgkinson continued her unstoppable run through the competition to kick off 2026 with her first World Indoor title in the 800m, blasting a wire-to-wire 1:55.30 to blow away the field and set a championship record.
- Mariano García flexed his range and his lethal finishing speed to hold off World outdoor champ Isaac Nader and claim the victory in 3:39.63.
- Georgia Hunter Bell didn’t let a hot early pace faze her, as she turned her rival into a de facto rabbit and smoothly reeled her in to claim World Indoor 1500m gold in a speedy 3:58.53.
- Devynne Charlton showed she’s truly the master of the 60m hurdles, winning her third straight World Indoor title and equaling her own world record of 7.65.

| 0:00.0 | This episode of the CityS smack podcast is presented by X Endurance. When you finish a hard workout, |
| 0:06.7 | whether it's a long run or a workout on the track or a big lift session, the work isn't actually |
| 0:12.4 | done. We all know this. That's when recovery starts. It can get expensive to constantly |
| 0:18.1 | pop into a smoothie shop after a run. So one of the things that I've |
| 0:21.9 | been doing lately is using X Endurance Protein, which is designed specifically to help your body |
| 0:27.5 | recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training. I'm super excited to welcome X Endurance |
| 0:33.2 | into Sidious Mag's family of sponsors, since I've watched them support many professional athletes over the last decade, |
| 0:40.1 | Mack back in the day was an ex-endurance athlete. |
| 0:43.4 | Lately, you may have seen Jess McLean using their product as she builds up to the Boston Marathon. |
| 0:48.7 | What makes their protein a little different is their blend. |
| 0:51.8 | It combines four different types of protein, |
| 0:54.6 | so your body gets both fast- protein for immediate recovery and slower release protein to support muscle |
| 1:00.6 | repair over time. Each serving delivers 20 grams of protein and over 4 grams of BCAAs, which |
| 1:07.7 | helps support muscle growth and recovery after long sessions. It also includes |
| 1:12.2 | electrolytes and vitamins B6, B12, and D to support your overall recovery. And one thing that I've |
| 1:18.9 | appreciated is that it's easy on the stomach, no bloating or digestion issues like you sometimes |
| 1:24.5 | get with other weight proteins. You just mix one scoop with about four to 6 ounces of liquid and it's great before a workout, after a workout, or really any time during the day when you want to support your recovery. |
| 1:36.3 | Now, if you want to go crazy, here's my go-to mix, which is the chocolate protein, half a banana, a scoop of peanut butter, ice, and some |
| 1:45.6 | almond milk. Mix it all together. Delicious. If you're putting in the work and training, |
| 1:50.6 | X Endurance Protein can help your body bounce back and get you ready for that next big |
| 1:54.4 | session. CitiusMag podcast listeners, you can get 25% off your order using code Citius at checkout |
