Why are we taking part in the European Games 2019 in Minsk? Reasons to take part in Minsk EA took already part at EG2015 with ETCH 3rd League and street athletics EOC and MOCOG are paying flights & accommodation for all athletes and cover all operational cost (7 figure investment) The calendar in 2019 sets ideal conditions EA MF can use EG to prepare for the season in June with a top level event for their top athletes EA has moved ETCH to August (10-11 Aug) IAAF fixed WCH in Doha very late (28 Sep-6 Oct)
Why are we taking part in the European Games 2019 in Minsk? Conditions to take part in Minsk We cannot use an existing EA event (e.g. U23, ETCH) for Minsk due to current media & sponsor contracts We agreed with EOC to create a new event outside of any contractual restrictions For 2019 we want to use the opportunity to test a new event format to appeal to a younger audience set the basis for a future model of competition
