Following the European Athletics Council meeting in Lisbon at the weekend, the European Athletics Executive Committee's decision to add AIPS President Gianni Merlo to the list of appointed officials for Paris 2011 was approved.
Paris 2011 will take place 4-6 March 2011.
Due to the intense media interest surrounding European Athletics’ flagship indoor event, an AIPS Media Advisor will be now included on the list of appointed officials for all future European Athletics Indoor Championships.
The decision follows the successful cooperation and valued support from AIPS at the Barcelona 2010 European Athletics Championships.
During Barcelona 2010, AIPS in conjunction with Helsinki 2012 organised a successful luncheon that showcased plans for the next outdoor European Athletics Championships – which will be the start of the premier continental athletics event following a two-year cycle.
