CHAMPIONSHIPS MEDALS REVEALED, AS MUSEUM OF WORLD ATHLETICS EXHIBITION OFFICIALLY OPENED BY TRIO OF SCOTTISH ATHLETICS LEGENDS
With just four weeks to go until the first World Athletics Indoor Champion Glasgow 24 is crowned, official event Ambassador Eilidh Doyle meets with budding young athletes from local clubs to give them a sneak peek of the Championships medals.
Event organisers launched an open call last summer, giving Scottish artists the chance to submit their designs in a bid to become a part of history. The winning artist will be there to see their illustrations transformed into a stunning creation that will be presented to the winners of the 26 events.
2 February will also see the official opening of the Museum of World Athletics (MOWA) Exhibition that is being staged at the St Enoch Centre from now until the end of the Championships, designed to encourage everyone to feel a part of the event and find out more about the number one Olympic sport and how they can get involved.
MOWA guests of honour, Scottish 1980 Olympic 100m champion Allan Wells, and 1993 World Athletics Indoor champions Yvonne Murray-Mooney (3000m) and Tom McKean (800m) will also join the proceedings.
The one-month long MOWA exhibition features World Athletics Heritage’s collection of indoor athletics competition artefacts dating from the 1880s. The displays contain clothing, shoes, equipment, trophies, and medals donated by more than 30 world champions and/or record breakers.
Bringing a Scottish twist and joining MOWA at St Enoch on the first floor will be Commonwealth Games Scotland staging the Team Scotland Exhibition celebrating 10 years on since the incredible success the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The World Athletics Indoor Championships Glasgow 24 will be amongst the biggest sports events to be held in Scotland this year, attracting more than 700 athletes from over 130 countries, as athletes start the season’s build up to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The World Athletics Indoor Championships is held every two years and provides three action-packed days of intense competition in an intimate arena where fans can witness the raw athleticism and talent of many of the world’s best athletes at close range.
