Athletes
Only athletes aged at least 16 years and no more than 19 years on 31 December 2022 may participate in this event.
In Shot Put (Men), only athletes aged at least 18 years and no more than 19 years on 31 December 2022 may participate in this event.
Entries & Reserves
- Final entries: the teams are to provide the names for the main team (9+9) plus the reserves. No limit to reserves athletes entered, but teams must clearly indicate which ones are to travel and which ones are ‘non-travelling’ for accommodation and invoices planning purposes.
- Final confirmations on site will be different for each Match (Day 1 separately from Day 2). Any athletes from the list of 9 + 9 and reserve athletes could be confirmed during final confirmations. Meaning, there could be differences from Day 1 to Day 2, if team decides so.
- If late injury happens (after the final confirmation but before the first call times of the discipline), the substitution with a reserve or any athlete from the main team is possible. But the injury has to be confirmed by the medical officer from LOC and done before the first call times.
