The concept of 'short track' competition will be introduced to replace the current term 'indoor' in the setting of 200 metres tracks to incorporate hybrid competition venues like temporary city locations, World Athletics said on Tuesday.
"Under this new concept, the 200m short track will no longer be confined to the indoor environment, and a world of opportunities will open up for meeting organisers to stage official competition in whatever facilities they have available," World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said in a statement. With the new term, performances set on outdoor or temporary 200m tracks will therefore be eligible to be recognised as official results for the purpose of records and rankings regardless of the environment in which they are conducted.
