Abiertas acreditaciones de prensa para el Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo sub-20 Cali 2022

As part of their long-term commitment to reduce the environmental impact of the sport, more than two dozen one-day athletics meetings and World Athletics Tour events have tested the Sustainable Events Management System (SEMS) and the Athletics for a Better World Standard thus far this season, a pilot programme that will continue at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22, starting on 15 July.
The introduction of the SEMS, a best practice guidance that covers 15 key areas of event planning and delivery, and the Standard, a certification that measures and scores an event&rsquo;s achievement in sustainable delivery, are among the key deliverables of the World Athletics Sustainability Strategy for 2022, as outlined in the global governing body&rsquo;s first sustainability report, which was <a href="https://www.worldathletics.org/download/download?filename=f27d5ed2-9577-4af8-aaf9-4451acd8fdc1.pdf&amp;urlslug=Sustainability%20Report%202020-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.worldathletics.org/about-iaaf/documents/strategic-plans-and-reports">released today</a>.
Embedding principles of sustainability into event delivery is a core component of the <a href="https://worldathletics.org/athletics-better-world/news/sustainability-strategy-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://worldathletics.org/athletics-better-world/news/sustainability-strategy-2020">World Athletics Sustainability Strategy</a>,&nbsp;the 10-year road map unveiled in April 2020 that has goals including&nbsp;transitioning to carbon neutrality across all of its operations and owned events by 2030. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.worldathletics.org/download/download?filename=f27d5ed2-9577-4af8-aaf9-4451acd8fdc1.pdf&amp;urlslug=Sustainability%20Report%202020-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.worldathletics.org/about-iaaf/documents/strategic-plans-and-reports">World Athletics Sustainability Report 2020-2021</a>&nbsp;charts the organisation's progress over the first 19 months since the launch of its strategy with a detailed look at each of the strategy document's six pillars.
World Athletics introduced the SEMS (<a href="https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/6230a9797c6f973a01756918.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/6230a9797c6f973a01756918.pdf">English</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/624de53deb2136c90f371174.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/624de53deb2136c90f371174.pdf">French</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/6230ab7b4f61a907d90ad3cb.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/6230ab7b4f61a907d90ad3cb.pdf">Spanish</a>) and Standard (<a href="https://iaaf-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/bob_ramsak_worldathletics_org/ET_JZqdwoaVDq-eMRRAnxKUBkmiuECD-Z0nPvzSQBx6u1Q?e=C1SIbC&amp;wdLOR=c90D0C0A9-7F21-D24C-8AAE-6B6B6DD48869" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://iaaf-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/bob_ramsak_worldathletics_org/ET_JZqdwoaVDq-eMRRAnxKUBkmiuECD-Z0nPvzSQBx6u1Q?e=C1SIbC&amp;wdLOR=c90D0C0A9-7F21-D24C-8AAE-6B6B6DD48869">English</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://iaaf-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/bob_ramsak_worldathletics_org/EcUgD2ah6tFDmxMlfWO91YMBIQdlCbnWhRiEc1um3jJ6PQ?e=IXnL4U&amp;wdLOR=cAFE3952C-FEF4-E041-9DC9-71A33BCADC9C" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://iaaf-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/bob_ramsak_worldathletics_org/EcUgD2ah6tFDmxMlfWO91YMBIQdlCbnWhRiEc1um3jJ6PQ?e=IXnL4U&amp;wdLOR=cAFE3952C-FEF4-E041-9DC9-71A33BCADC9C">French</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://iaaf-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/bob_ramsak_worldathletics_org/EUWyXbLI5ExCnDM9aFBtHi0BhEWC9RHsrJstaKLsk-lADQ?e=31K2cQ&amp;wdLOR=cB9BFA128-6333-2A40-9ED8-8E10E67A5CAD" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://iaaf-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/bob_ramsak_worldathletics_org/EUWyXbLI5ExCnDM9aFBtHi0BhEWC9RHsrJstaKLsk-lADQ?e=31K2cQ&amp;wdLOR=cB9BFA128-6333-2A40-9ED8-8E10E67A5CAD">Spanish</a>) to its one-day meetings, tour events and local organising committees of upcoming World Athletics Series events in November and has provided ongoing support since, via one-on-one meetings, a 12-part webinar series, a range of e-learning modules, visits to live events and the development of&nbsp;a knowledge bank of information and case studies on the World Athletics website.
The Standard will be tiered, with gold, silver and bronze levels that will eventually have to be met as part of the sanctioning process. Cities bidding to host upcoming World Athletics Series events, for which bids launch in the latter half of 2022, will be required to commit to a gold level achievement, making sustainability a core feature of all future events. World Athletics is urging all of its sanctioned events to pilot the system in 2022 and 2023 before implementing it at its editions in 2023 and 2024.
The World Athletics Championships Oregon22, which get under way in nine days, will be the first World Championship event to test the system and Standard. The State of Oregon and City of Eugene are world-renowned for their sustainability practices, a reputation that Oregon22 organisers were eager to build upon.
Sarah Massey, CEO of Oregon22, LLC, said: &ldquo;Sustainability is a significant part of our &lsquo;Drive Change&rsquo; initiative and has been a guiding principle in every aspect of our planning and delivery for this event.&rdquo;
Carolyn Stein, the sustainability lead for the Oregon22 LOC, said: &ldquo;We worked with local constituents, organisations and advocates to create and execute a vision to be the most sustainable World Athletics Championships ever. From our efforts to reduce single-use plastics to our food recovery programmes, from our materials management to our selection of vendors, we believe we have established a blueprint for sustainability at future large-scale sporting events.&rdquo;
World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said: &ldquo;We&rsquo;re very fortunate that our partners in Oregon have put such a strong emphasis on sustainability in the delivery of our championships this year. They want to set a really high bar and create a best-practice example that can be replicated throughout our sport. Their ambitions, experience and feedback will be invaluable as we begin to add stronger sustainability requirements to our World Athletics Series events.&rdquo;
Arttu Salonen, the athletes' liaison of the Paavo Nurmi Games World Athletics Continental Tour meeting in Turku, Finland, said that piloting the SEMS and Standard at their event last month helped to build a strong foundation.
&ldquo;The Athletics for a Better World Standard gives a great overview of the types of issues that are very much present in the world we all share in a way that's easily transferrable to the day-to-day operations of an athletics competition,&rdquo; Salonen said. &ldquo;It also helps meeting organisers to get started on working with themes in the sustainability sphere. The SEMS workshops have been great at breaking down sustainability issues into key problem areas with ideas on how an event organiser can make impactful choices.&rdquo;
Michael Mottle, the CEO of the Stadtwerke Ratingen Mehrkampf-Meeting (7-8 May), an important early season stop on the World Athletics Combined Events Tour where the SEMS and Standard were also piloted this year, concurred.
&ldquo;The Standard provides a good orientation and working tool for preparing and executing an event,&rdquo; Mottle said. &ldquo;It shows the various fields of play in which organisers of meetings have to work on sustainable solutions. At the same time, the ranking system of the Standard shows in which areas further efforts have to be tackled going forward and which areas are already in a good shape in sustainable terms.&rdquo;
Mottle said that the best practice guidance provided by World Athletics helped his team work on &ldquo;small projects&rdquo; that have already resulted in &ldquo;a better and greener event&rdquo; this year. &ldquo;We really emphasised the usage of public transport this year and provided extra bicycle parking lots for our spectators and for the LOC team,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;This idea was highly supported throughout the whole event.&rdquo;
Michael Reilly, co-meeting director of The Prefontaine Classic, the premier annual one-day meeting in the United States, is looking forward to piloting the system at his event next year.
&ldquo;The vision of the Athletics for a Better World Standard is comprehensive, compelling, and on target,&rdquo; said Reilly. &ldquo;The Prefontaine Classic looks forward to being a strong partner with World Athletics and the other Diamond League meeting organisers in pursuit of this important mission.&rdquo;

World Athletics Championships, Oregon 2022

World Athletics Sustainability Report 2020-2021 released

Sustainable Events Management System pilot programme gathering momentum as Oregon22 approaches

EUGENE, Ore. &mdash; With 10 days until the start of the first World Athletics Championships on U.S. soil (July 15&ndash;24), the local organizing committee (LOC) today unveiled the medals for the event.
The first medals will be won in the stadium and on the roads on the very first day of competition. On the opening night, Team USA looks to defend their world title in the mixed 4x400m relay, where a world record will likely be needed to take gold. Medals will be won in 49 event disciplines and on each of the ten days of competition, with fans able to watch finals in 12 of the 16 in-stadium sessions and in all 6 of the free road events. &nbsp;&nbsp;
"It was imperative that our medals were true to the unique, unmissable, unconventional nature of the first World Athletics Championships on U.S. soil," said Niels de Vos, Executive Director of Oregon22, LLC. "Months of cutting-edge creative thought and experimentation into the latest manufacturing techniques went into the medals, designed and fabricated right here in Oregon. The medals are won by athletes as the result of a lifetime of dedication and commitment. They are the best in the world, and our team wanted to ensure a medal which reflected that status.&rdquo;
In a first for track and field, Instant Medals will be awarded to the three medal-winning athletes in the immediate moments after their finals. Full medal ceremonies with national anthems will still take place, but this additional celebratory component of Instant Medals is designed for athletes to commemorate their individual victory &lsquo;in the moment&rsquo; and to share that moment with family and friends.&nbsp;&nbsp;
There is something uniquely powerful about the interaction between an athlete and the medal they have earned. By including the medals in the initial emotional aftermath of their medal-winning performance, athletes will be able to experience their triumph more fully, feeling the weight of their accomplishment around their necks right after earning it and proudly displaying their victory during a lap of honor and in post-event media interviews. At the end of the mixed zone interviews, the medals will be taken back from the athletes for engraving ahead of the official presentation on the podium as scheduled.
The medals depart from the traditional die-cast variety, using instead the ultra-modern and durable material of Corian, which has been subsequently inlaid with the relevant precious metal. The use of Corian enables the finely detailed carving of intricate relief work featured in the designs - something just not possible using conventional medal techniques.
While traditional in shape and weight, the medals will look very different, even down to the attachment of the ribbon, which uses a bar inserted inside the body of the medal to ensure both longevity and the maintenance of clean design lines.
One side of the medals is inspired by the cross-section of a tree, complete with seven rings to represent the seven regions of Oregon with the logo of WCH Oregon22 at its heart. The tactile experience is completed by the outer edge of each medal, which is textured to feel like tree bark.
<img src="https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/62c45a2afc456d285e4a3261.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" />
The other side features one of seven landscapes that showcase the seven regions of Oregon. These dramatic scenes carry echoes of the marble sculptures and white Art Deco facades of the great public buildings in the United States, including Oregon&rsquo;s State Capitol. These landscape elements are fundamental to WCH Oregon22's brand as represented through its <a href="https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-championships/oregon22/news/news/the-beauty-of-oregon-showcased-throughout-the-wch-oregon22-brand">Oregon Tapestry</a>. The tapestry is also showcased on the ribbon, juxtaposing a rich color palette to the immaculate, striking form of the medal.&nbsp;
All seven regions are represented across each color of medal - so if an athlete wins multiple medals, each one can feature a different Oregon relief. This innovation of making different medals was made for two reasons.&nbsp; First, to infuse each award with a sense of individuality and pricelessness - essentially, to heighten each medal moment with an opportunity for surprise and delight as the athlete discovers the distinct scene represented on their medal. Second, to highlight the beauty of the entirety of the State of Oregon, from its mountains and rivers to its coastline and forests.
"The primary goal that drove the design process was to create something truly innovative and glorious that would be immediately recognizable in years to come as Oregon's medals," said Jessica Gabriel, Communications Director of Oregon22, LLC. "We worked with Oregon-based companies to center the project in this place, and together we challenged ourselves to create works of art that would symbolize the significance of an athlete capturing the glory of a global medal here in the heart and home of track and field in the U.S."
In collaboration with the LOC, Eugene-based creative agency AHM Brands and Portland-based fabrication company Steelab executed on this lofty vision.

The World Athletics Council has reluctantly decided to cancel the World Athletics Half Marathon Championships Yangzhou 22 in November 2022, as a consequence of the pandemic.
Following extensive discussions with the local organising committee (LOC) and the Chinese Athletics Association, it has been mutually agreed that the championships cannot be held in Yangzhou this year.
However, the Council also resolved to grant the World Athletics Road Running Championships to Yangzhou in March 2027.
World Athletics president Sebastian Coe thanked the Yangzhou LOC and the Chinese Athletics Association for their excellent work in preparing to host the World Half Marathon Championships.
&ldquo;Unfortunately, the championships can&rsquo;t be held this year, through no fault of the LOC, but our endurance athletes will have the opportunity to compete in Riga next year,&rsquo;&rsquo; Coe said. &ldquo;The Council&rsquo;s decision to award another event to Yangzhou in 2027 indicates its faith in the organising committee and willingness to return and stage a World Athletics Series road&nbsp;running event there at the first available opportunity.&rdquo;&nbsp;
The World Athletics Road Running Championships, which will make their debut in Riga, Latvia, on 30 September - 1 October 2023, will incorporate the half marathon championships in future, as well as introducing world 5km and mile championships. Mass races will be held alongside the elite championships to allow recreational runners to be part of a global festival of road running.

<h1>Annulation des Championnats du monde de semi-marathon de World Athletics Yangzhou 22</h1>
Le Conseil de World&nbsp;Athletics a d&eacute;cid&eacute;, &agrave; son grand regret, d&rsquo;annuler les Championnats du monde de semi-marathon Yangzhou 22 initialement pr&eacute;vus en novembre 2022, en raison de la pand&eacute;mie.
Apr&egrave;s de longues discussions avec le Comit&eacute; d&rsquo;organisation local et l&rsquo;Association chinoise d&rsquo;athl&eacute;tisme, la d&eacute;cision de ne pas organiser les championnats &agrave; Yangzhou cette ann&eacute;e a &eacute;t&eacute; prise d&rsquo;un commun accord.
Toutefois, le Conseil a &eacute;galement pris la d&eacute;cision d&rsquo;attribuer &agrave; Yangzhou l&rsquo;organisation des Championnats du monde de course sur route de World Athletics en mars 2027.
Le pr&eacute;sident de World&nbsp;Athletics, Sebastian Coe, a remerci&eacute; le COL de Yangzhou et l&rsquo;Association chinoise d&rsquo;athl&eacute;tisme pour leur excellent travail de pr&eacute;paration en vue d&rsquo;accueillir les Championnats du monde de semi-marathon.
&laquo;&thinsp;Malheureusement, les championnats ne peuvent avoir lieu cette ann&eacute;e, ind&eacute;pendamment de la volont&eacute; du COL. N&eacute;anmoins, nos athl&egrave;tes d&rsquo;endurance auront l&rsquo;occasion de concourir &agrave; Riga l&rsquo;ann&eacute;e prochaine&thinsp;&raquo;, a d&eacute;clar&eacute; le pr&eacute;sident Coe. &laquo;&thinsp;La d&eacute;cision du Conseil d&rsquo;attribuer &agrave; Yangzhou l&rsquo;organisation d&rsquo;une autre comp&eacute;tition en 2027 est une preuve de sa confiance dans le comit&eacute; d&rsquo;organisation et de sa volont&eacute; de revenir en Chine pour y organiser, &agrave; la premi&egrave;re occasion qui se pr&eacute;sente, une comp&eacute;tition de course sur route qui fasse partie de la S&eacute;rie mondiale.&thinsp;&raquo;&nbsp;
Les Championnats du monde de course sur route de World&nbsp;Athletics, dont la premi&egrave;re &eacute;dition aura lieu &agrave; Riga, en Lettonie, du 30 septembre au 1er&nbsp;octobre 2023, int&eacute;greront &agrave; l&rsquo;avenir les championnats de semi-marathon et marqueront l&rsquo;inauguration des championnats du monde de 5km. Des courses de masse seront organis&eacute;es parall&egrave;lement aux championnats &eacute;lite pour permettre aux coureurs r&eacute;cr&eacute;atifs de participer &agrave; cette c&eacute;l&eacute;bration internationale de la course sur route.
