Jan Linha 470 Posted November 1, 2022 #241 Share Posted November 1, 2022 22 hours ago, dcro said: The World Athletics Council has decided to postpone the World Athletics Relays Guangzhou 23, scheduled for 13-14 May 2023, until April/May 2025 (exact dates to be confirmed). 👇 — World Athletics (@WorldAthletics) October 31, 2022 They should just scratch World Relays for good then if nobody is up to for hosting it except China. Hilarious thing to say that China is up for hosting anything these days, but here we are. I will not even attempt to understand the inner mechanism of Winnie. is unfortunately just "acting out" that they can host anything. They don't want lose face in front of WA or other federations. Of course they know ahead that it will be trouble, rather impossible. They are just not aware that this behaviour may take away many events from them. Or at least they don't want to admit it. I think instead of their game they should say ahead of time that they won't host it so other hosts can be found. Not only in athletics but in all sports.

They (or the Wanda Group) are the main sponsors of the DL, so they get a lot more indulgence than other nations would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,749 Posted November 24, 2022 #243 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Oh so, NOW the Kenyans want to do something about doping. India also got some explaining to do. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/africa/63742785 Edited November 24, 2022 by Grassmarket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,195 Posted November 25, 2022 #244 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) I got an email from World Athletics which says that subscribers to "The Inside Track" will receive a code to purchase tickets for the 2023 World Championships from 10h00 CET on 9 December until 23h59 on 11 December. The general sale will start on December 12.

Vektor 3,195 Posted November 25, 2022 #245 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Oh man, $54 for the finals... I mean, that's not that expensive, a ticket of a Hungarian international football match costs the same, and I will pay it, but will 30.000 Hungarians pay that kind of money per evening? I doubt it, Hungarians don't care that much about athletics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
