With just 20 days to go to the IAAF World Youth Championships, Cali 2015 the IAAF is happy to announce an exciting new project which will involve the reigning Olympic and world decathlon champion Ashton Eaton and five young athletes who will be competing in the Colombian city.
After the IAAF World Youth Championships next month, Eaton will select five athletes who will have particularly impressed him in Cali, with not only their achievements on the track but also their commitment to the sport and fair play.
The selection of athletes will be made across the disciplines and from a diverse group of IAAF Member Federations, and the athletes will be invited to Eugene for an all-expenses paid three-day training camp with Eaton in early March.
