None of the protocol models address the dire scenario faced by SA and athletics, says governing body
Only SA’s track and field stars who belong to universities look as if they will be able to resume training‚ Athletics SA has suggested in a statement.
It did not even want athletes competing internationally‚ though it is not clear if that would include the handful hoping to take part in Diamond League meets from August to October. Coaches and competitors from other top Olympic codes have been anxiously waiting to get back into proper training. Athletics SA said it had compared the protocol models of World Athletics and other bodies and countries and decided “none of them address the current dire scenario faced by SA and athletics”.“Athletics SA has resolved not to host any national activities or participate at international events until Athletics SA deems it safe to do so or until it is expertly advised by the department of sport and World Athletics that it is medically safe to host events at national and international stage.
