WORLD INDOORS IN NANJING POSTPONED TO 2025 – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

The World Indoor Championships in Nanjing have been postponed for a third time because of the Covid-19 pandemic and will now take place in 2025, 40 years after the inaugural edition in Paris.

The championships were scheduled to take place in 2020 but were pushed back to 2021 and then 2023. They will now occur five years after the initial date. It means the next edition of the World Indoors will be in Glasgow on March 1-3, 2024.

The reason why Nanjing will host the event a year later is because bidding has already commenced for the 2026 edition of the championships. “We’re disappointed that we have had to postpone this event again due to circumstances beyond our control, but we have done so to give certainty to athletes and Member Federations preparing for the 2023 competition season,” World Athletics President SEBASTIAN COE said. “Unfortunately, the timeframe will prevent us from relocating the 2023 event, but the indoor championships will return in 2024 in Glasgow.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023 – Takes place in Budapest, Hungary from 19-27 August 2023.
The qualification period is 31 July 2022 to 30 July 2023, excluding the Marathon and Walks. These are the qualification standards required.
