Tito Odunaike was the standout name at the 2026 British Indoor Championships. In Birmingham, the 16-year-old produced a winning leap of 15.75m in the triple jump to become the youngest British male champion since 1979. No athlete of his age had claimed a senior national title since Phil Brown won the 200m crown 47 years ago. With this victory, Odunaike underlines what his performances had already suggested : he is currently the leading British men’s triple jumper of the indoor season. Read more Read More

Behind him, Marcus Wyatt remains firmly in contention in seventh place, ready to capitalise on any slip.
