World Athletics Continental Tour Silver Meet

Kalinga Stadium hosts India's first-ever World Athletics Continental Tour Silver-level meet, a landmark upgrade from the Bronze-level competition held here last year. Organised by the Odisha Sports and Youth Services Department with the Athletics Federation of India and under the aegis of World Athletics, the single-day meet features 187 elite track-and-field athletes from 27 nations across 18 men's and women's events, including 143 top performers from 12 Asian countries. Entry for spectators is free. Sports Director Vijay Yeddula called the Silver-tier status "a historic milestone" cementing Odisha's place as India's leading athletics state.
