This year’s Aliann Pompey International hangs in the balance

The 2021 edition of the Aliann Pompey Invitation (API) hangs in the balance due to the current COVID-19 situation. 

The international event which is a qualifier for the Olympic Games, is scheduled to be held on June 19 at the National Track and Field Centre. However, there is a temporary pause on the fixture since the organizers are still awaiting confirmation from the COVID-19 Task Force.

This is according to founder of the meet, four-time Olympian, Aliann Pompey who provided a media update yesterday.

“The issue is that we are still awaiting to hear back from the COVID-19 Task Force” said the 2002 Commonwealth Games gold medalist in the 400m.
