World Athletics Announces 16 Disciplines For Inaugural Ultimate Championship
The World Athletics Ultimate Championship: A total of 16 disciplines will feature at the new World Athletics Ultimate Championship in 2026, the World Athletics announced here on Friday. The World Athletics also unveiled 28 events of the 16 disciplines that will feature in the new tournament, including 16 track and 10 field, plus two relays.
"We already have great World Championships and Olympic Games, so we didn't want to just reproduce, recreate what's there already," Jon Ridgeon, CEO of the World Athletics, said.
"We wanted to create something better. People were saying they wanted something shorter and faster, so what we've done is we've tried to create the most packed, fast-paced timetable across those three nights of athletics as we possibly can. We just couldn't include all the disciplines. So we have 26 disciplines, plus two relays, in terms of 16 track, 10 field and two relays," he said.
