Indoor worlds in China put off again until 2023

The world indoor athletics championships in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, have been pushed back again to March 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sport’s governing body said yesterday. The event was initially scheduled for March 13-15 this year but was postponed for 12 months over fears related to the spread of the novel coronavirus in China. Organizers have now agreed to host the Nanjing event a year after the 2022 championships in Belgrade, World Athletics added. “For the safety of our athletes and technical officials, we must duly consider the risks in bringing a large group of people to attend the event under the pandemic situation,” it said in a statement.
