Dezember 2018 tradition in Europe. Sports Director Alain Blondel is giving it a new shine, aligning the sports disciplines to the German athletes’ success at the continental title matches: “Of course we make sure that we can present medal winners at the INDOOR MEETING. Among other things, we’ve got the Women’s Triple Jump, Men’s Long Jump, but also the Men’s High Jump in the programme. We’ve also included the Women’s Sprint Hurdles.” There is great enthusiasm for the light athletics spectacle on 2 February 2019 in trade-fair hall 3. “The run on the tickets is massive – now, two months before the INDOOR MEETING, we only have just under 500 tickets available. Category 1 is almost completely sold out”, says a delighted Martin Wacker, manager of the organisers: Karlsruhe Marketing und Event GmbH. “The IAAF World Indoor Tour, with Karlsruhe as its second stop, certainly gives us a great advantage. It was the right step to increase the capacity to 5,000 seats.” Traditionally, the time to present the top athletes at the INDOOR MEETING starts on St Nicholas Day.
