GLASGOW INDOOR GRAND PRIX

Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix | Emirates Arena - Glasgow  | 20 February 2016

Britain’s double Olympic and five-time world champion Mo Farah, current European record holder and 200 metre world champion Dafne Schippers and Britain’s fastest ever woman Dina Asher-Smith will compete at the Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix on Saturday 20 February.

The Grand Prix meeting is the best indoor athletics meeting in the world and will be staged at the Emirates Arena for the very first time, following its move from Birmingham last year.

Farah will compete in the 3000m, likely to be his only indoor race of 2016 whilst sprint sensations Dafne Schippers and Dina Asher-Smith are set to meet over 60m which is the most exciting head-to-head in European sprinting.

The 2015 edition saw Farah set a new indoor 2 mile record and heptathlon superstar Katarina Johnson-Thompson break the British indoor long jump record. More winners included Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford, former world 100m champion Kim Collins and world 100m silver medallist Murielle Ahoure.

Glasgow has a rich athletics heritage having held the indoor international match for over 25 years, hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and has bid to be the host city of the 2019 European Indoor Championships.
