This week begin the 22nd African Athletics Championships after a long wait. Initially scheduled last year in Algeria, it is Mauritius (June 8 to 12) who will host this edition of the biggest continental rendezvous in athletics at the brand-new stadium of Côte d'Or. This is the third edition to be held in Mauritius after those of 1992 in Belle-Vue and 2006 in Bambous. Mauritius therefore joins Egypt, the only country to date to have organized three editions of the African Championships.
The countdown to the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 recently passed the 50 days to go milestone. With the outdoor season in full swing, the world's best athletes are preparing to go head-to-head at Eugene's Hayward Field from 15-24 July.

The middle distance and long distance events were won by the Kenyans and the Ethiopians while South Africa and Egypt also did well in the long sprint and throws. The Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce signed the great performance of the Nairobi meeting by achieving 10"67 over 100 m. The Kenyan Ferdinand Omanyala won in the men's category in 9"85 ahead of the American Fred Kerley.
In less than one month, the brand new track of the Côte d'Or sports complex, freshly certified Class 1 Athletics Facility, will host the 22nd edition of the African Senior Championships (June 8-12). This will be the third edition on Maurician land, after those of 1992 at Belle-Vue and 2006 at Bambous. Mauritius will thus join Egypt, the only country so far to have organized three editions of the African Championships.
