European Athletics President’s Welcome Message Glasgow 2019 Welcome from Billy Garrett, European Athletics Indoor
Championships 2019 Steering Group Chairperson
I am very pleased to welcome everyone to the 35th edition of the
European Athletics Indoor Championships which are here in Glasgow, Glasgow has a long-standing and strong relationship with athletics,
the second time that this city has been the host of this competition. and a reputation for hosting world-class sporting events. When the

European Athletics has constantly strived to make our competitions more attractive to athletes

Although I was in Berlin last summer for the European Athletics Championships, I heard Billy Garrett
nothing but praise for the Emirates Arena as the venue for the cycling events which were part Director of Sport and Events at Glasgow Life and
of the inaugural multi-sport European Championships. Co-Chair of the Glasgow 2019 Steering Committee
The European Athletics Indoor Championships are the first major athletics event of the year
and Glasgow will see many of the champions and medallists from Berlin in action as they
set their sights on not only making the podium here but using this event as an important
test ahead of this summer’s major competitions including the European Athletics Team
Championships and the IAAF World Championships.
Consequently, taking all these factors into consideration, I am looking forward immensely to the
three days of competition here in Glasgow.
On behalf of European Athletics, I am very grateful to British Athletics, the city of Glasgow
and everyone else involved with the Local Organising Committee for all their hard work and
commitment to the successful staging of this event.

Around 200 enthusiastic children gave the biggest ‘Aww’ as Scottee was unveiled and welcomed to Crookston Castle Primary School. The excited Scottie dog made a dramatic entrance but was kept in check by well-known Scottish vet and Championship Ambassador, Laura Muir. As Scottee burst in, Crookston Castle Primary School pupil, Rachel Joss couldn’t believe her eyes as she noticed her mascot design had been brought to life. Rachel won a competition for local schools in Glasgow to design the Glasgow 2019 Mascot and with over 700 entries, she came out on top spot.
