The 2021 World Athletics Meet will now take place in 2022

 

The 2021 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon will be shifted to 2022 to accommodate the re-arranged Tokyo Olympics, World Athletics said yesterday.


That means the World Athletics Championships that were scheduled to take place in Eugene from August 6-15, 2021, can no longer be held on those dates.


“We support the new 2021 dates for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games announced by the Japanese organisers and the IOC,” World Athletics said in a statement. “This gives our athletes the time they need to get back into training and competition.”


“Everyone needs to be flexible and compromise and to that end we are now working with the organisers of the World Athletics Championships in Oregon on new dates in 2022 for our World Athletics Championships.” 
World Athletics said they were also “in discussions” with the Commonwealth Games Federation, the organisers of the Commonwealth Games that are currently scheduled to be held In the English city of Birmingham from July 27-August 7, 2022.


The athletics federation said it was also talking to the organisers of the 2022 European Athletics Championships, which are due to take place in Munich, Germany from August 11-21. Track and field is the traditional centrepiece of the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games.
