ATHLETICS Obiri reveals plans to extend her legacy in 2024 Boston Marathon
Defending champion Hellen Obiri has explained why she chose to make a return to the Boston Marathon as she gears up for the Olympic Games.
This is the first time the World Athletics Indoor Championships have been hosted in Scotland, creating a fresh look for the event.
Using the Scots language, the event strapline ‘Where Gallus Meets Greatness’ signifies Scotland’s ambition as the perfect stage for events.
The phrase combines ‘Gallus’ the local vernacular for ‘daring and bold’ with greatness, a word commonly associated with major sporting champions. The strapline loosely translates to ‘Who Dares Wins’.
Championships Director, Stuart Campbell said: “I am delighted to unveil our new event look and strapline to mark 50 days to go until the World Athletics Indoor Championships get underway.
“With the world coming to Glasgow, it has always been a very important part of our mission to highlight Scotland’s unique cultural identity and I believe we have managed this, taking our thistle logo to the next level and reimagining it in the form of athlete pictograms.
“We were also very keen to incorporate the Scots’ language into our event strapline to give a sense of place and I believe we have managed this with the inclusion of the word ‘Gallus’ – a phrase that I’m sure will stir a passion embedded in Scots and Glaswegians alike.
