Washington DC [US], March 24: Bahamas' Devynne Charlton equalled her own 60m hurdles world record of 7.65 seconds to win a third title at the World Athletics Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26 in Poland on Sunday.
It was the second world record at the championships, after Swiss Simon Ehammer set a new heptathlon mark of 6,670 points on Saturday.
In other action, New Zealand's Tom Walsh won a fourth shot put gold and Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson won a first women's 800m world indoor title.
Meanwhile, American Cooper Lutkenhaus became the youngest world champion in athletics when he stormed to the 800 metres indoor title at 17 years and 92 days.
World Athletics said he is the youngest champion at indoor and outdoor worlds.
Lutkenhaus took the lead in Torun with 300m to go and never looked back, clocking 1 minute 44.24 seconds to beat Belgian Eliott Crestan by .12 of a second.
Bahamian hurdles star Charlton matched her own world record* to become the first three-time winner of the women's world indoor 60m hurdles title, while USA's men's 4x400m quartet and Keely Hodgkinson both set championship records.
