Former Team GB track and field athlete, Eilidh Doyle has been announced as one of the ambassadors for the World Athletics Indoor Championships.
In an event celebrating one year until the games kick off in Glasgow, the Commonwealth Games silver medallist was joined by youngsters from Shettleston Athletics Club.
Speaking there, she said: “I am thrilled to be announced as ambassador for the championships, it is a real honour.
“Glasgow and Scotland have always been committed to innovation and delivering sport focused, athlete centred events, which is why athletes love to come here, so I am sure Glasgow will step up yet again, taking the 2024 world indoors to the next level.”
The event, held on March 1-3 2024, acts as part of the qualifications for the Paris 2024 Olympics and could see as many as 700 competitors from 130 countries descending on the city to take part.
It will be the first time Scotland has been the home of the championships, and world athletics president, Sebastian Coe, said: “Glasgow has a fine record of hosting great athletics events, from the 2014 Commonwealth Games, to the 2019 European Athletics Indoor Championships, so we already know this will be an exceptional stop on the journey to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The games will take place in the Emirates Arena across six sessions, and 5000 fans can be accommodated for each.
