Dusseldorf added
MONACO (MON): Six meetings will be incorporated into the IAAF World Indoor Tour by 2018. Dusseldorf will be added to the calendar in 2017 while an as-of-yet unconfirmed non-European meeting will be part of the tour from 2018. “We are excited to be joining the IAAF World Indoor Tour. As a relatively young meeting we are especially keen to be a member of this new global athletics brand. Together with the other meeting organisers we will work to promote the attraction of indoor athletics. As public recognition of the IAAF World Indoor Tour grows the individual meetings and indoor athletics as a whole will all be winners,” said Dusseldorf meeting director Marc Osenberg. The dates for 2017 are provisionally Jan 28 for Boston, Feb 1 for Dusseldorf, Feb 4 for Karlsruhe, Feb 14 or 15 for Stockholm and Feb 18 for Birmingham.
