Athletics Day 6 Schedule
The official Day 6 athletics program is split into an afternoon ‘prep session’ and a ‘medal evening’ to ensure athletes are as ready as they can be for one of the largest evenings of the championships.
Morning Session
The morning schedule is dedicated to athlete preparation rather than medal competition. Activities include:
- Athlete registration and final check-ins
- Equipment inspection and technical verification
- Implement weighing for throwing events
- Warm-up and training sessions
- Final lane and start position confirmations
- Distance athlete preparation
- Recovery and physiotherapy before evening finals
The morning session has no gold medal competition which will ensure the athlete has energy for the event that is to decide the outcome of the day.
