National Inter District Junior Athletics Meet 2024 Kicks Off In Ahmedabad – All You Need To Know

New Delhi: Gujarat is slowly turning out to be the next sports capital of India. After the ODI World Cup final last year at the world’s largest cricket stadium (Narendra Modi Stadium) the state government has proposed a motorsport race track at the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City, also known as GIFT City, in Gandhinagar. That’s not all as the state has readied a master plan to set up Olympic standard infrastructure in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar before India throws its hat into the ring in a bid to host the 2036 Summer Olympics.

As we discuss how Gujarat is gearing up to be the second sports capital after Odisha, the National Inter District Junior Athletics Meet 2024 kicked off in Ahmedabad on Friday (February 16). Into its 19th edition, the National Inter District Junior Athletics Meet is being organized by the Athletics Federation of India. The events in the meet will be live-streamed on AFI’s YouTube channel.

The three-day competition will see 5,588 athletes from 615 districts vie for medals in the U-14 and U-16 age categories. Each district has been given a cap of maximum 13 athletes for the competition. The medal events include triathlon, pentathlon, javelin throw, long jump, high jump, shot put, 60m and 600m races and the 80m hurdles. All the events will take place at the Gujarat University campus in Ahmedabad. Bihar’s Patna hosted the competition last year.
