HE Dahlan Jumaan Al Hamad, president of the Asian Athletics Association and chairman of the Higher Organising Committee for the championships, said the 23rd Asian Athletics Championships serve as a final dress rehearsal and a live test of every organisational and logistical aspect, to guarantee a distinguished and unprecedented experience for the guests of the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha next September.
Al Hamad said: ” Doha has hosted the biggest and most important events in athletics over the past 21 years, and every time we have won the bet and the challenge with the best organisation.
He added: The Local Organising Committee for the Asian Athletics Championships has worked hand in hand with the Asian Athletics Association over the past months, to reach the highest level of readiness for the championships, which represent the most important event on the calendar of championships held under the umbrella of the IAAF in Asia
He continued: ” The championships are being held in ideal conditions thanks to the advanced, pioneering cooling technology provided by Khalifa International Stadium, which keeps the temperature at 24 degrees Celsius at all times, helping the athletes deliver their best levels …and focus on the sporting side, away from any factors that could distract them.
