Young Armenian athletes will participate in the World Athletics U20 Championships in Cali, Colombia on 1-6 August.

Triple jumper Gor Hovakimyan and long jumper Gor Beglaryan will be joined by more than 1500 athletes from 145 teams at the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium.

For 15 athletes, their road to Cali has gone via Eugene, where they recently competed at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22.

The World Athletics U20 Championships returns in Cali, Colombia, just one year after the last edition in Nairobi, Kenya. As a result, 16 individual world U20 champions were eligible to defend their titles and of those, eight will be in action at the Pascual Stadium.
