2008 World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships is the third in a series of World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships (also called World Masters Athletics Championships Indoor, or WMACi). This third edition took place in Clermont-Ferrand, France, from 17 to 22 March 2008. [2] [3]
The main venue was Jean-Pellez Stadium, [4] which has a banked indoor track where the turns are raised to neutralize the centrifugal force of athletes running the curves. Supplemental venues included Clermont-Ferrand Sports Hall for opening ceremonies, Les Gravanches for Half Marathon and 10K Race Walk, and Stade Marcel-Michelin for Cross Country.
This Championships was organized by World Masters Athletics (WMA) in coordination with a Local Organising Committee (LOC): Annie Laurent, Jean Gracia. [1]
The WMA is the global governing body of the sport of athletics for athletes 35 years of age or older, setting rules for masters athletics competition. [5]
A full range of indoor track and field events were held. [6] In addition to indoor competition, non-stadia events included Half Marathon, [7] 8K Cross Country, [8] 10K Race Walk, Weight Throw, Hammer Throw, Discus Throw and Javelin Throw.
