Jamaica and Grenada will host two meets in the World Athletics Continental Tour Silver level meetings in 2020.
However, unlike the Gold level meets, which falls under World Athletics, Area associations will be responsible for managing the Silver ($US75,000 prize money) and Bronze level competitions ($US25,000). There will be ten Silver and up to 50 Bronze meetings.
World Athletics is investing in the Gold level meetings, which will each offer $US200,000 in prize money. Racers Grand Prix in Kingston is among the 10 Gold level meetings.
World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said the impetus for creating the Continental Tour was to provide more competition and earning opportunities for more athletes.
“Between the Wanda Diamond League and the Continental Tour, all disciplines will be catered for and many more athletes will have access to top-class competition,’’ he said.
Those disciplines that are not included in this year’s Wanda Diamond League final – 200m, 3000m steeplechase, triple jump, discus – will be core events in the Continental Tour Gold meetings, as will the hammer throw. Each will have guaranteed prize money of $US20,000 at each meeting.
The full schedule of Continental Tour Silver level meetings is as follows:
20 March – Queensland Track Classic, Brisbane AUS (Oceania)
4 April – Grenada International Invitational, St. George GRN (North America)
2 May – Jamaica International Invitational, Kingston JAM (North America)
