It’s a big weekend for some track and field athletes that represent the US as they will be in competition at the IAAF World Indoor Championships.

Things get started on Friday with action beginning in 15 events and medals being awarded in two events (women’s pentathlon and men’s shot put).

Defending medalist that will get started on Friday include Bernard Lagat (gold medalist in the men’s 3000m), Ryan Whiting (gold medalist in the men’s shot put), and Ashton Eaton (gold medalist in the heptathlon). The US won twice as many medals (18) as any other nation in 2012 as well as winning 10 gold medals. No other nation won more than two gold medals and only 26 were awarded in total. The pressure will be on to try and duplicate the success again this year.
