The Euro U18s which were scheduled for July this year have been moved back to 2021

No details yet on next years world u20 championships but perhaps WA and EA (with regard to the u20s and u23s) will follow suit and move the entire roster back 12 months to minimise the number of athletes missing out

Whatever they do, there will be athletes missing out in some way. For example, if the u23s was moved to 2022, the athletes in their last year of eligibility for that in 2021 will miss out.

The Pole Vault women have got their own Ultimate Garden Clash* happening this Saturday (live streamed) - Katerina Stefanidi, Katie Nageotte & Alysha Newman will compete to see how many times they can clear 4.00m in 30 minutes.

* Interesting that, in contrast to the men, none of them have a PV set-up in their garden. So, they'll be doing it at their local training facilities.

Bump to get in front of the ludicrous amount of spam.

Anniversary Games definitely cancelled: https://www.britishathletics.org.uk/...versary-games/

Not really a surprise.

To comply with social distancing only 5 elite athletes, two of whom were Ingebrigtsens.
