In seguito agli annunci delle squadre da parte di nazioni tra cui Gran Bretagna e Kenya, l’Irlanda ha nominato una squadra guidata da Kate O’Connor, mentre il Canada ha selezionato 13 atleti capitanati da Sarah Mitton e Christopher Morales Williams, per i campionati del mondo di atletica indoor 2026 a Toruń, in Polonia, dal 20 al 22 marzo. Entrambe puntano a medaglie all’evento.

La squadra irlandese include la medaglia d’argento mondiale Kate O’Connor, che ha conquistato l’argento nel pentathlon ai campionati dell’anno scorso a Nanchino e l’argento nell’eptathlon ai Mondiali outdoor di Tokyo. Ha anche vinto l’oro all’Universiade e il bronzo ai Campionati Europei Indoor. Nick Griggs e Andrew Coscoran correranno nei 3000 m, Mark English guida gli 800 m maschili, Sarah Lavin compete nei 60 m ostacoli femminili, Bori Akinola e Lauren Roy nei 60 m piani, e Maeve O’Neill esordisce negli 800 m femminili. Scelte provvisorie includono Ciara Neville (60 m femminili), Emma Moore (800 m femminili), James Gormley (1500 m maschili) ed Elizabeth Ndudi (salto in lungo femminile). Athletics Ireland high performance director Paul McNamara called it «an exciting team with real prospects for medal success», noting O’Connor’s Nanchino result sets a high bar and highlighting emerging talent. La squadra canadese è guidata dalla due volte campionessa mondiale indoor del lancio del peso Sarah Mitton. Olimpionici come Christopher Morales Williams (due dei 10 tempi più veloci della stagione sui 400 m, quinto a Nanchino), Sade McCreath (campionessa canadese indoor 60 m, PB 7.12 s) e Audrey Leduc figurano tra i protagonisti. Esordienti includono Avery Pearson (800 m femminili), Tyrell Davis e Travis Campbell (60 m maschili). La copertura andrà in onda in diretta su CBC Sports e CBC Gem.
