New Delhi: The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) on Wednesday cancelled this year’s National Championships in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtually bringing the season to an end without any competition.
The move was on expected lines after the AFI on Aug. 28 decided to defer the season, earlier scheduled to start on Sept. 12 in view of the global health crisis. There has not been any athletics competition so far this season. A National Throws Open Championships will be held in Patiala on Oct. 26 and 27 and that will be the only worthwhile event at the senior level this year.
