Asian Athletics Championships

The title of this article is ambiguous. For the indoor competition, see Asian Indoor Athletics Championships .

The Asian Athletics Championships are athletics competitions organized by the Asian Athletics Association (AAA) every two years. The first championships took place in 1973 in the Philippine capital Manila . The 1977 championships in Tokyo , Japan were canceled by the world association IAAF due to political problems, as there was no agreement on Israel's participation . As a result, the Asian Championships was downgraded by the IAAF and carried the name Asian Track and Field Meeting from 1979 to 1989 ( German  Asian Athletics Meeting ). Israel later became a member of the European Athletic Association (EAA) and has since participated in the European Athletics Championships .
