CARIFTA 2021 could be postponed
CARIFTA 2021 is on…. for now.
According to North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association (NACAC) President Mike Sands, a Bahamian, cancellation of the premier junior athletics meet in this region is not an option at this juncture, but it can be postponed.
The 2021 CARIFTA Games is one of those regional meets that is set for the early part of 2021, and at this point, it’s obvious that COVID-19 will still be a nuisance in portions of 2021, if not for the entire year. The World Athletics (WA) World Indoor Championships, initially scheduled for March 13-15, 2020, in Nanjing, China, were pushed to March 2021, and now they are being postponed again, set for March 17-19, 2023, still in Nanjing. The biennial meet will now be held for three successive years, in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
