Flower ceremony

All flower ceremonies take place immediately after each competition in the stadium.

I-Zone

A request-based system will be in place for the I-Zone: athletes will come to the media center only when specifically requested and if cannot be interviewed in the mixed zone.

Media representatives will have the opportunity to request interviews with the athletes participating in the flower ceremonies (via the phone number stated in the event-dedicated group). The group will be used to share important news and competition updates. Please note that athletes may not always be available for interview requests inside, including to safeguard their health, and may prefer to speak in the mixed zone.

Briefing for moving media

The main briefing for moving media is on Thursday, January 22th at 16:15 pm in the media center. All moving media are requested to attend the main briefing. Competition briefings will be held on every day starting with a new competition format, 90 minutes prior to the first start. The detailed schedule will be published at the welcome desk in the main press center.

Workplaces for moving media

There are work stations for photographers and TV-crews in the Media Centre in the arena. Please make sure you do not occupy more desk space than you really need. There will be one table (190 cm wide) for two journalists in the Media Centre in NMNM.

All accredited moving media are required to wear a bib in the competition area to get access to the Photo Zones. TV Rightsholder (RHB) bibs are available for collection at the accreditation center whereas other moving media bibs are handed out in the media center in coordination with the IBU Photo Manager.
