Asian Athletics Championships 2019: Full Schedule

With just a little over three days remaining, the capital city of Qatar is getting ready to host the 23rd edition of the Asian Athletics Championship in Doha. The previous 2017 edition of the Championships had taken place in Bhubaneswar, Odisha where 41 nations had participated in 42 events.

India had emerged on top of the tally, surpassing China with 29 medals that year. Consequently, hopes for the 23rd edition have considerably doubled from the Indian squad headed to the Middle East country. The competition has also expanded this time with the expected participation of 63 nations which promise to make this year's Championships an exciting and happening event for India.

The four-day gala athletics event is scheduled to begin from the 21st of April and will continue until the 24th of the month. There are promising athletes from our country to watch out for as they go in for the big medals inside the hallowed grounds of the Khalifa stadium.
