Adjibi Breaks Championship Record
En Route to National 60m Title
TUESDAY, MARCH 03, 2026
Golden Star Eliezer Adjibi delivered a historic performance at the Canadian Indoor Track & Field Championships, rewriting the record books in the men’s 60 metres.
​
After opening his campaign with 6.69 seconds in the preliminaries, Adjibi surged to a breakthrough performance in the semifinals, clocking a new personal best of 6.62 seconds. The mark shattered the long-standing Championship Record previously held by Bruny Surin, an Olympic gold medallist in the 4×100m relay at the 1996 Summer Olympics and later inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame as part of that historic relay team.
​
Adjibi returned to the track for the final and secured the national title in commanding fashion, stopping the clock at 6.64 seconds — another performance under the previous championship mark.
From prelims to podium, Adjibi ran 6.69 – 6.62 – 6.64, showcasing both speed and consistency across three rounds of racing.
With the 2026 World Indoor Championships set for later this month in Kuyavian–Pomeranian, Poland, Adjibi’s record-breaking form sends a strong message on the international stage. Momentum is clearly on his side as we await the final verdict for the World Stage.
