Maebashi '99President Nebiolo's Message to the athletes
The World Championships in Maebashi have been the greatest ever, both in terms of technical results and competitive performances. I warmly congratulate all the athletes for their level of preparation and the enthusiasm with which they competed. I consider the World Indoors in Maebashi the prelude to a wonderful outdoor season and hope you will all be with us at the end of August in Seville for another extraordinairy show of athletics.
