Athletics in change: records under impossible conditions!
Athletics in change: records under impossible conditions!
In front of the European Halle Championship, which will take place in Apeldoorn from March 10th to 12th, 2025, the athletes take a look back at the history of indoor athletics in Austria. According to information from the Krone there was the first competitions in Vienna before the premiere of the Hallen-European Championship in 1970 under highly unusual conditions. One example is the Austrian Mittelreckler Árpád Guardy, who set up a record of around 1500 meters in Frankfurt with a time of 4: 15.2 minutes in 1936 - on a 100 -meter -long track with curves that carried the runners out of the bends. These historical events are in strong contrast to today's standards, where athletes such as Raphael Pallitsch make higher demands on conditions and media presence.
Interestingly, the first indoor records of Austria were created when the ASKÖ made challenges for hall athletics in Wiener Neustadt between 1950 and 1952. Here, athletes like Emmerich Zensch and Traude Zolda contributed to an eventful story by setting records under extreme conditions. This historical scenery is supplemented by the quantitative overview of globally recognized records, which is provided by the Wikipedia . The World Athletics Association Athletics Association still registers record -breaking performances in 224 disciplines and thus ensures that every step, every jump and every throw count. These structures create the basis for future records and inspire athletes worldwide to find their own place in sports history.In modern hall athletics, the technology has developed, and the norms for competitions are now stricter than ever before. With a clear distinction between the hall and outdoor controls, athletes pursue a career, which they constantly enter the history of athletics through the best performance and innovative approaches. With regard to the upcoming competitions in Apeldoorn, the tension is clearly noticeable, while athletes are preparing to write history.
