YOUNG ATHLETES IN LIMBO DUE TO CHELMSFORD REDEVELOPMENT – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

England Athletics U20/23 Champs on June 17-18 may have to find a new home, whereas South of England U20 Champs has been forced to move to Walton. With little over a fortnight until the England Athletics Under-20 and Under-23 Championships, hundreds of young athletes are unable to finalise their travel and accommodation plans due to uncertainty over the venue. The event – which incorporates the British trials for this summer’s European Under-20 and Under-23 Championships in Israel and Finland – is due to be staged in Chelmsford but the track has been undergoing refurbishment recently and organisers are not sure whether it will be ready in time. The news has sparked frustration from athletes, parents and coaches, many of whom have already booked hotels, trains and in some cases flights to the Essex venue. The South of England Athletics Association has had a similar problem for its under-20, under-17 and under-17 championships this weekend (June 3-4) but has now shifted the venue from Chelmsford to Walton, which is more than 70 miles away.

The BIGish Jumps and Throws Fest on May 29 was also forced to relocate from Chelmsford to Woodford, saying: “We would like  to acknowledge that there is no fault on the part of Chelmsford Sports & Athletics Centre, who have left no stone unturned to get the venue ready.” In a statement, England Athletics said: “We advise anyone looking to book travel and/or accommodation in advance of attending our upcoming under-20 and under-23 track and field championships to wait until June 7 by which time we will know whether or not this event will be staged at Chelmsford. “The venue is currently undergoing track refurbishments and its operators are uncertain as to whether it will be ready in time to host our event. Whilst we continue to work closely with Chelmsford for a favourable outcome, we will still be staging this event on that weekend of June 17-18 and, therefore, are also exploring appropriate, alternative venues. We thank you for your patience ahead of us being able to provide a venue update on June 7.”

On Wednesday (May 31), the governing body added: “We are still optimistic that the event will go ahead at Chelmsford as planned. If work is not completed, we have secured an alternative venue near the original location which can accommodate a champs of this size. This will hopefully minimise the disruption to those who have already booked travel and accommodation. “We apologise for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, the wet spring weather has considerably delayed planned work to the track at Chelmsford. We will provide further updates on our website and via an email to all entrants in the coming days.”

FAITH KIPYEGON SMASHES WORLD 1500M RECORD IN FLORENCE – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

With one of the greatest performances in the history of female middle-distance running, FAITH KIPYEGON stormed to a world 1500m record of (3:49.11) in Florence on Friday (June 2). The 29-year-old from Kenya beat GENZEBE DIBABA’S eight-year-old mark of (3:50.07) on a cool and still evening in the Luigi Ridolfi Stadium in Italian city. It means KIPYEGON is the first woman to break the (3:50) barrier and, after winning two Olympic and two world titles in recent years, she can now lay claim to being called the greatest female 1500m runner in history.  BROOKE FELDMEIER paced the field through 400m in (62.37) with fellow rabbit SAGE HURTA-KLECKER passing 800m in (2:04.00) with KIPYEGON not far behind. LAURA MUIR of Britain and JESS HULL of Australia were also hanging on to the swift pace as the rest of the field lagged some distance behind, but MUIR and HULL were struggling to stay in contact whereas KIPYEGON was cruising in comparison. Cutting loose in the final 600m and passing the 1000m mark in (2:34.5), KIPYEGON only had the Wavelight technology for company and down the back straight she seemed to pull ahead of the lights, which had been set at world record pace. Coming into the home straight it looked like she would break DIBABA’S mark and, sure enough, she charged through the final metres before celebrating. Her final 800m was a scintillating (2:00.6), last 400m (58.9) and final 200m (29.2).

Despite the savage early pace, MUIR held on to run a fine (3:57.09) in her season’s opener, as HULL ran an Australian record of (3:57.29) and CIARA MAGEEAN of Ireland finished strongly to clock (4:00.95). “This means a lot to me,” said KIPYEGON, who gave birth to her daughter, ALYN, in 2018. “I knew everything was possible. My fans were really looking for this world record and I thank them for praying for me. “I was not expecting to run this fast tonight. Maybe a world lead, but not a world record.” “It was great to be part of the world record race,” said MUIR. “But it was not the first world record race I was running in, I was in previous ones. I am so happy for FAITH. I would have loved to be closer to her. But for the first race of the season this is really decent. I have never gone through the first 800m as fast as today.” Such was the quality of KIPYEGON’S run, she would have put former men’s world record-holder and nine-time Olympic champion PAAVO NURMI 2.7sec behind her. When it comes to previous barriers being broken, the first sub-4:10 was in 1971 by KARIN BURNELEIT of East Germany with (4:09.6) and the first sub-4:00 came in 1976 by TATYANA KAZANKINA of the Soviet Union with (3:56.0).

WHY BUDAPEST 2023 PROMISES TO BE AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

With the event set to commence on Saturday, August 19, the countdown of less than 80 days intensifies the anticipation for what will undoubtedly be the year’s most prominent sporting extravaganza. It is an undeniable truth that the upcoming World Championships in Budapest, slated to commence in less than three months on August 19, have generated immense interest not only within Hungary but also throughout Europe and across the globe. The third biggest sporting event of the world returns to Europe for the first time since the 2017 World Championships in London. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that a significant number of athletics enthusiasts from neighbouring countries have already secured their tickets, in addition to the fervent support from local fans. Aside from Hungary, the highest ticket sales have been recorded in the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Italy, and the United States. Anticipated attendees from more than 80 countries are poised to witness the awe-inspiring performances of these athletic superheroes. Remarkably, over 180,000 tickets have already been sold, covering a range of nine evening sessions and five morning sessions. Notably, the Superhero package, offering access to the entirety of the World Championships, are no longer available in category 1, illustrating the fervour surrounding this remarkable event.

It’s recommended to purchase your tickets or packages as soon as possible through https://tickets.wabudapest23.com/ to secure the best seats and Witness the Wonder! The most popular session is scheduled for Saturday evening, August 26, featuring the current superstar of track and field, Armand Duplantis. He will once again attempt to surpass his own world record of 6.22m in the men’s pole vault final. There are only a few empty seats left! Tickets are also selling well for the Sunday evening session, August 20. Expect fireworks not only in the centre of Budapest but also at the National Athletics Centre, coinciding with the Hungarian national holiday. Alongside the finals of the men’s 100m, men’s 10,000m, women’s long jump, and Bence Halász, the top Hungarian contender, will be competing for a medal in the men’s hammer throw final.

The extraordinary indoor season and the upcoming outdoor season, beginning at the end of May, promise to deliver the greatest ever World Championships. ARMAND DUPLANTIS, FEMKE BOL, Nafissatou Thiam, Ryan Crouser, and Lamecha Girma have all already set world records this year. Kimberly García and María Pérez have also delivered a 35km walk that could be unparalleled on the streets of Budapest. The marathon and walking races are free to watch in the magical capital of Hungary.

The National Athletics Centre is nearing completion, becoming the most modern athletics facility in the Central and Eastern European region. An additional section of bleachers for the World Championships has been finished, allowing 35,000 people to cheer on their favourite athletes each day. The MONDO-covered track, known as the “red carpet of world records” due to its speed, has been installed. In the park surrounding the facility, the trees are already green, sound tests are underway, and the warm-up track on Csepel Island is currently under construction. The World Athletics Championships in Budapest is easily accessible for everyone. Not only can you fly to the Hungarian capital from most countries in Europe – and around the world – with a maximum of one connection, but tickets are also reasonably priced.

The five morning sessions are available for a flat fee of 3000 HUF (~8 USD). For the evening sessions, ticket prices on weekdays range from 17 USD for the cheapest to 47 USD for the most expensive. On the weekend evenings, tickets range from 22 USD to 57 USD. Additionally, there are three different packages available: one for the two days of the opening weekend (Firestarter package), another for the last three days of the World Champs (Crown package), and a full World Champs package (Superhero package). One notable feature of the World Championships schedule is its flexibility, allowing the world’s top athletes to participate in multiple events. Alongside the more “traditional” doubles like 100-200m, 200-400m, 400-800m, 800-1500m, 1500-5000m, and 5000-10000m, Lamecha Girma has the opportunity to compete in the 3000m hurdles-5000m combination. YULMAR ROJAS, the current world record holder of triple jump, might even consider trying her hand at the long jump during the opening weekend of the World Championships on August 25, if she’s up for it. This approach ensures that fans visiting Budapest can witness their favourite athletes competing in multiple events during the biggest sporting event of the year, for which the athletes have been preparing throughout the year. Furthermore, this World Championships also serves as a qualification event for the 2024 Paris Olympics, providing everyone with additional motivation to achieve better results!

RUNNERS READY FOR UPHILL BATTLE IN INNSBRUCK-STUBAI – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

The second edition of the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships, taking place in the splendour of the Austrian Alps this week, could be the perfect showcase for all things off-road. After its inaugural staging in Thailand last November, the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships (WMTRC), heads this week to Europe – specifically the Alpine stage of Innsbruck-Stubai – for its second edition, writes ADRIAN STOTT. Once again, World Athletics’ vision of working with the different elements of mountain, trail and ultra running to create a true global championships will take centre stage. While Thailand, which had been postponed due to Covid, was deemed to be a success, this month’s event being held in one of the traditional mountain heartlands means hopes are high that competition – and attention – levels will rise and that more nations and athletes will embrace the concept. There is the added challenge of accommodating these championships in a packed calendar of commercially backed races which attract the top names, too, so we decided to get the views of an administrator and an athlete when it comes to the next steps for the WMTRC. Standards are set to rise

SARAH ROWELL knows a thing or two about international competition, having raced for Great Britain in the 1984 Olympic marathon and in a number of mountain running championships. She is currently a World Mountain Running Association council member and treasurer and has been at the heart of the creation of the WMTRC.  

How was the vision of the WMTRC born? – It probably goes back to 2017 at a meeting of the various interested parties with World Athletics. Before 2017, mountain running was defined by World Athletics, but trail running – which was experiencing massive growth – wasn’t. When we talked about officially adding trail running, there was very little difference between the two. At the same time, European Athletics had a formal mountain running championships but World Athletics didn’t. European Athletics have been at the forefront of driving what they call off-road running.In an attempt to ensure that the overall schedule was better for the athletes, it was agreed to move the world event to every other year with a European Championships in alternate years. The European schedule was looked at, and there was a strong view that they didn’t want another ultra-distance race. That’s why the European event has a medium trail race, not a long trail race. That was what the runners wanted.

What role did World Athletics play in bringing everyone – all of the various organisations behind trail, ultra and mountain running – together? – It was definitely because of World Athletics, in terms of looking at the definition of the championships within their rule books. There are also key individuals – ALESSIO PUNZI [Head of Running and Mass Participation at World Athletics] being one – who are exceptionally supportive of what mountain and trail running are, and can see the potential both in terms of helping World Athletics deliver what it wants, as well as ensuring that World Athletics truly is the overarching body for all disciplines of athletics, not just the ones they have traditionally focused on.  

Where do you see the WMTRC fitting into a fixture list which is already crowded with federation-led and commercially-led initiatives? – I would love to see the event as a formal World Athletics biennial world championships. It’s one of the things we’re looking at, but that can’t be the only thing. It has to survive alongside the commercial series.Can we create a way that at least the key people can sit down and look at it? Ultimately, athletes have to earn a living and I would like to see the best mountain and trail runners firstly recognised by the world governing body and, secondly, able to earn a decent living, should they want, through mountain and trail running. That requires a mix of formal world championships, as well as commercial races. It also means that if you look at the upcoming event in Innsbruck, it will have over 1000 athletes there. That creates the world championships of the future. They will require a venue with a large, suitable infrastructure. That’s quite different to some of the current iconic mountain and trail races, which have a small infrastructure. If we get the mix right, they can all survive and thrive.
