Today HepsTrack.com had a chat with a former Heps athlete who will be making his way to the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Doha, Qatar, which will take place from March 12-14 in the ASPIRE Dome, the world’s largest indoor sports facility. (Note: I have not independently measured them, I am taking their word on it!)
That athlete — who will we name a little later — is currently in France and will try to be in touch with us as events transpire at the Aspire.
Couple of quick facts:
• Doha — which is awash in the orange signs of the World Championships — is Qatar’s capital and about 70 percent of the country’s inhabitants live there.
• Doha is expecting athletes from 150 countries, which would be a record for the event.
• The ASPIRE Dome, built to support the Asia Games in 1995, houses a soccer stadium, a track-and-field arena, a swimming stadium, eight fencing pistes, two sports halls, three martial arts arenas, 13 table tennis courts and two squash courts.
Here’s the video:
