T&T’s Tyra Git­tens-Spotsville fin­ished in 12th spot in the women’s long jump fi­nal dur­ing the morn­ing ses­sion on the fi­nal day of the 2025 World In­door Track and Field Cham­pi­onships in Nan­jing, Chi­na on Sun­day.

Git­tens-Spotsville record­ed her leap of 6.36 me­tres in the sec­ond round of the com­pe­ti­tion. The na­tion­al in­door record hold­er (6.68 m) opened up with 6.27 m to sit in sixth po­si­tion af­ter the first round. She im­proved to 6.36 on her sec­ond ef­fort. How­ev­er, the 2017 Carif­ta cham­pi­on dropped down to 8th spot. On her third at­tempt she could on­ly muster 6.05m and fell fur­ther down the stand­ing to 12th. She was hop­ing to be among the top eight to earn three fur­ther jumps.

The Tokyo Olympics 10th plac­er was short of her longest dis­tance of the year (6.57 m), achieved on Jan­u­ary 17.

Amer­i­can Claire Bryant land­ed the gold medal with a per­son­al best of 6.96 m. An­nik Kalin of Switzer­land fin­ished in sec­ond with a last-round ef­fort of 6.83 m, while Spain’s Faima Di­ame took the bronze (6.72 m). Ba­hami­an An­thaya Chart­lon fin­ished in sixth (6.57). Chart­lon’s was off her na­tion­al record mark of 6.98 m set on Jan­u­ary 28.

An­thaya’s sis­ter De­vynne re­tained the women’s 60m hur­dles ti­tle, clock­ing 7.72. Swiss Di­ta­ji Kam­bun­ji (7.73) was just be­hind in sec­ond with Ja­maican 60m in­door/100m out­door hur­dles record hold­er Ack­era Nu­gent in third (7.74). De­vynne set a world record of 7.65 when he won the 2024 World In­door crown in Glas­gow, Scot­land.

T&T fin­ished with­out a medal at the World In­doors for a sec­ond straight edi­tion of the cham­pi­onships as the coun­try’s oth­er com­peti­tor, Michell-Lee Ahye, reached the semi­fi­nals of the women’s 60m sprint.

Na­tion­al com­peti­tors mount­ed the podi­um in 1989 (sil­ver – men’s 400m), 2012 (bronze – men’s 4x400m), 2016 (bronze – men’s 400m & 4x400m), 2018 (bronze – men’s 400m) and 2022 (gold – men’s 400m).

With the gold, the Ba­hamas fin­ished in 12th on the medal ta­ble. Ja­maica was 17th, cour­tesy of two sil­vers (Wayne Pin­nock – men’s long jump & men’s 4x400m re­lay) and two bronzes (Akeera Nu­gent – women’s 60m hur­dles & Ray­mond Richards – men’s high jump).

The USA emerged as the top coun­try with 16 medals (6 gold, 4 sil­ver, and 6 bronze). Nor­way was sec­ond (4, 3, 0, 1), and Ethiopia was third (5, 2, 3, 0).
