2018 Athletics World Cup
The Athletics World Cup was a team-based international athletics competition held in 2018.[1]
It featured eight national teams based on world rankings, with each team entering one athlete per event, and points gained on the basis of finishing position. Although the majority of world championship events were contested, no races over 1500 metres were held, and no road events or multi-events were on the program. The competition focused on an overall team prize, the Platinum Trophy and Platinum team medals, but individual gold, silver and bronze medals were also awarded in each individual event.
While the event is organised outside of the official World Athletics structures, at the time the IAAF expressed support for the event notwithstanding the existence of its own IAAF Continental Cup event.
The event was branded a failure by sports journalists, with many big-name star athletes failing to take part. The event was discontinued after its first edition.[2]
