Senior Athletics Championships To Be Held From June 25-29 In Patiala

Date:

The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) on Friday finalised Patiala as the venue for the 60th National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships to be held from 25-29th of June.

The competition will serve as the last qualifying event for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics

During a meeting held for finalising the venue of the competition amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it was also decided to organise the competition at two different places.

“We are planning this competition very carefully due to the pandemic situation. To avoid large gatherings at one place, we have decided to host the competition at two different locations in Patiala,” said Adille J Sumariwalla, AFI President.

“Netaji Subhash National Institute of Sports will be the venue for 24 events while other 19 events will be held at Punjabi University grounds. All the mandatory Standard Operating Procedures will be strictly followed and we are not going to provide accommodation to the teams,” he added.

The federation is also inviting athletes from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei, Malaysia and Kazakhstan for the competition.

Athletes who meet AFI qualification standards for this competition will only be allowed to participate. The entries should be submitted online on AFI Website by the Affiliated States/UT from June 10-18.
