"VAN" (Sports Desk - 27.08.2023) :: With the backdrop of the World Athletics Championships, the International Fair Play Committee (CIFP), in partnership with World Athletics, is inviting athletics fans across the world to nominate moments that epitomise fair play with a view to recognising one standout athlete or moment at the World Athletics Awards later this year. In a change to previous years, CIFP and World Athletics have extended the nominations period beyond the World Athletics Championships to include all World Athletics Series (WAS) events and Continental Tour events throughout the course of the year. This will allow for more moments to be included from different events all across the world, and enriches the pool of eligible athletes and potential nominations. Following the final WAS event of the year, the World Road Running Championships in Riga, Latvia, in October, a jury will be empanelled to review the nominations and judge on a shortlist of five fair play moments in athletics from 2023. Fans will then be asked to cast their votes through the World Athletics social media channels for the shortlisted moment that they feel best exemplifies fair play. These votes will be combined with the votes from the jury to determine three finalists for the Fair Play Award. The winner will be revealed at the World Athletics Awards in Monaco in December.
