Wightman faces battle of Britain in 1,500m final
Manchester Evening News
|September 17, 2025
THE last time Jake Wightman was in a global 1,500m final, he won it.
Three years on from that iconic success in Eugene, the Manchester-based runner is back in the World Championship final in Tokyo as one of three Brits.
He ran in the same heat as Josh Kerr, finishing just behind his teammate in third avoiding a coming together that saw the 2023 world champion fall down as he crossed the line.
After the stress fracture and hamstring injuries that kept him out of his world title defence and last year's Olympics respectively, Wightman seems to be hitting form at just the right time ahead of today's final.
