I have no idea Honestly I think that do the Europeans Championship in 2020 isn't a bad idea...

Europeans (Torun, Poland) will be rescheduled with a two-week gap between them and the Worlds to give athletes the chance to double up.

 

We have live international athletics on TV for the first time in 2020 tonight!  The Karlsruhe meet is on ES in about an hour, Dusseldorf meet also live on ES on Tuesday.

Well, last Saturday there was a Boston meeting, also from the Indoor Tour. And besides US athletes playing main role, there was for example Klosterhalfen among them so it was also quite international.

Oh sure, but it was only on US TV and expensive Pay Streaming.  Could have mentioned also the Scottish National Championships last weekend. N  But this is the first meet everyone gets to see.

 

Should say also that this year’s performances do not count towards the postponed Worlds - clock will reset next January.

OK, it should be normal that young athletes improve every year in the early indoor season but it is always good to see.
