READY TO HOST THE WORLD: National Stadium. PIC MORERI SEJAKGOMO

Athletes who ran on the newly refurbished National Stadium track over the weekend during the Lefika International Relays were impressed by its quality.

The venue will host the World Athletics Relays from May 2 to 3. World Athletics has classified the track as a Class Two athletics facility and meets all the technical requirements of the World Athletics rules for the relevant competitions. The expiry date for the certificate is January 2031. Speaking to Sport Monitor, the event director, Thomas Ndazila, said the track is perfect because some of the athletes repeated events, but nobody complained.

Regarding the accreditation of the track, he explained that World Athletics has promised to issue the certificate after World Athletics Indoor Championship.
