Condensed athletics schedule for 2022 Commonwealth Games 

Organisers say they’ve come up with a condensed athletics schedule for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham UK. 

They believe that this will encourage the world’s top athletes to take part in the Games.

It's because that year’s World Athletics Championship is set to end just three days before the start of the Commonwealth Games. 

The Athletics Championship was supposed to be held in 2021, but it was delayed by a year, to make way for the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics.
