In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the 110th staging of the  ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls Athletics Championships, popularly called  Champs ,  that will be held at National Stadium from May 11-15 will have a massive 65 per cent cut in participants than previous years. This was disclosed by the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA) during a virtual media launch of the 2021 staging. The launch, which was facilitated on the Zoom platform, three weeks after the government had given ISSA the approval to stage the five-day spectacle without spectators. Champs organising committee chairman Richard Thompson said that only 970 athletes will be eligible to compete this year, a massive reduction from just under 3000 over the years. “We have entered 68 male teams totalling 506 athletes, 61 female teams totalling 464 athletes. Total athletes will be 970 across 80 schools,” said Thompson.
