Tomorrow starts the application for the World Athletics Regularity Prize. Like every year, World Athletics, the organization that governs the sport at a universal level, brings together the most prestigious competitions of the season, such as competitions from around the world or the Olympic Games, with other tournaments that bring together the best and brightest. fields and tracks in the already popular Diamond League race.
The calendar of this tournament starts this Friday with the meeting in Doha and Cuba will be represented by the hand of world champion under the roof of Belgrade in 2022, triple jumper Lázaro Martínez. The best current representative of this discipline will arrive there, who will fight for the island as part of a list of luxurious participants, which includes Pedro Pablo Pichardo, also a Cuban, but a Portuguese citizen, as well as Hughes Fabrice Zango from Burkinabé.
For this reason, the first litmus test seems to be the appointment of Doha in a season that is no longer so young, when the winter days of its calendar have passed, and begins to direct all its eyes towards the journey to Budapest 2023, the World Cup, which will be held in the Hungarian capital from 19 to 27 August of the current year.
And to be the opening highlight of the journey, Doha will start with everything. Those who registered on the event’s website include Canadian Andre de Graze and Americans Fred Curley and Michael Norman in the men’s 100m, while Jamaican Sherika Jackson will run in the women’s.
Also in attendance will be India’s last Olympic javelin king, Niraj Chopra, as well as his 3000m hurdles colleague Soufian El Bakkali of Morocco. Of course, the main attraction of the day will be the paradigm of local fans, high jumper Mutaz Essa Barshim, who will fight for a good result in front of his people. Will he be a prophet in his own country?
Thus, a busy calendar will begin, in which the main representatives of the Creole field and athletics must overcome obstacles and focus their efforts, as always, on achieving the main events of the season in the best possible form. This 2023, in addition to the aforementioned World Cup in Budapest, the Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador, as well as the Pan American Games in Santiago de Chile, are also marked with a marker.
