Show Notes
There’s optimism from within Athletics New Zealand that hosting the World Indoor Athletics Championships isn't beyond the realms of possibility.
The sport's governing body, with support of the government, are working on a bid to bring the event to our shores in March 2028, prior to the Los Angeles Olympics.
The biennial event has never been held in Oceania since its inception in 1985.
Athletics NZ CEO Cam Mitchell told Heather du Plessis-Allan that they’re quietly confident.
He said that it’s something they have as an aspiration, and there’s also a massive novelty factor they think people would get behind and support.
