Mentioned in this video
Josh Hoey smashed Wilson Kipketer’s iconic 800m world indoor record at the 2026 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix by running 1:42.50.
Kipketer’s 1:42.67 record had stood since 1997
Paced through 500m by his brother Jaxson Hoey, he stayed controlled, then closed hard over the final 200m. Result: WR + American record, his second indoor world record after the 600m in December.
Since 2024, Hoey has gone from a 1:47 athlete to the fastest indoor 800m runner ever.
