PARIS, FRANCE, February 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The European Indoor Athletics Championships in Paris is just around the corner and is sure to be a great showcase for the talent that the continent possesses in track and field events.
Guests at Paris hotels have three days of contests to enjoy from March 4th to 6th 2011, during which time the organisers have packed in a programme that will involve more than 700 athletes.
Among the events people can expect to see at the competition are the triple jump, hurdles and running challenges over various distances.
It is likely to be a relatively international crowd for the occasion, since participants from more than 50 different countries will be in the French capital to try to take home a European Indoor Athletics Championships prize in their respective events.
Tickets for the contest range from EUR10 to EUR20 (GBP8.60 to GBP17.25), with morning sessions starting at 09:00 local time on the Friday and Saturday and 09:45 on Sunday.
The afternoon events kick off at 15:00 on Friday and 14:45 on Saturday. There are none planned on the final day of the competition.
With so much action to see at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, people will no doubt be exhausted at the end of each day.
