The Athletics association’s MISSION
We are an independent body whose mission is to ensure that the best interests of elite Track and Field athletes are protected and fought for. We want to help advance and grow the sport and we will do so with athletes being the priority.
We will always act independently and be transparent and will hold World Athletics accountable when we need to. Importantly we want to support athletes when they need it most and advocate for their welfare.
We also believe that in our amazing sport there should be no hierarchy in terms of events. The diversity of disciplines, athletes and nationalities is what makes Athletics the number one Olympic sport.
