Bhubaneswar: The 39th National Junior Athletics Championship, originally scheduled to be held in the Odisha capital in the last week of October, had to be postponed because of Cyclone Dana which made landfall between Bhitarkanika and Dhamra on the night of October 24-25.
The rescheduled prestigious national meet is all set to be held at the iconic Kalinga Stadium from December 7 to 11.
The championship, being organised by the Sports & Youth Services Department, in collaboration with Athletics Federation of India and Odisha Athletics Association, will bring together around 2,000 athletes from around the country.
Odisha will be represented by a 78-member contingent.
