Astana Indoor Meet for Amin Tuyakov Prizes 2024 results: Mondo Duplantis starts season with a victory, Demek Kemp only American winner

The World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold kicked off with the Astana Indoor Meet for Amin Tuyakov Prizes 2024 on January 27, Saturday. This was also the first time when Asia hosted an Indoor Tour Gold meeting.

The Astana Indoor Meet witnessed prominent athletes like Armand Duplantis and Tobi Amusan take the top honors. World record holder in the men’s pole vault Duplantis opened the 2024 season, defeating the 2017 U23 European champion, with a clearance of 5.80m.

Although Mondo tried to go past the 6.00m bar at the Astana Indoor Meet, he couldn’t clear it in his three attempts. In the women’s hurdles, three-time Diamond League champion Amusan clocked an African indoor and area record time of 7.77 to beat the 2019 World Championships gold medalist Nia Ali (7.89) of the USA.

Meanwhile, Demek Kemp was the only athlete from the United States who clinched the first position at the Astana Indoor Meet. Kemp achieved a timing of 6.55s to finish ahead of Japan’s Shuhei Tada in the men’s 100m sprint.

Canada’s Andre De Grasse, who clinched the gold in 200m at the Tokyo Olympics 2020, finished sixth in the same event, clocking 6.66. In the women's mile, the World Championships 2022 silver medalist (1500m) Diribe Welteji won the event with a time of 4:23.76.
