IAAF modifies Doha World Indoor Championships timetable

Submitted by ATAF Editor on 17 February 2010 - 7:27pm

The organisers of the World Indoor Championships has made some timetable changes made to the schedule on Day 1 (second session), Friday 12 March, of the 13th IAAF World Indoor Championships, Doha, Qatar (12 - 14 March 2010).

Image removed.The key issue is that the Opening Ceremony is now scheduled for 20:00 instead of 15:00 so all events must end by that time. Basically this means that, on average, all events mover earlier by about 1hr30 / 1hr45.

Below is a comparison between the old time and the new one (sorted by old time):

New          Old                Event/Gender/Round
