TheAsian Athletics Championships is an event organized by theAsian Athletics Association.
The competition courted controversy with theIAAF when political in-fighting arose afterIsrael was excluded from participation in 1977. That edition of the competition was canceled, with championships between 1979 and 1989 being regarded by the IAAF as unofficial, called the "Asian Track and Field Meeting" as a result. This situation was resolved when Israel began competing inEuropean Athletic Association events in 1990.[1][2][3][4]
