Around 1100 athletes took part in the German Indoor Masters Athletics Championships. They took place in the east of Germany in Halle/Saale. The city has an excellent arena and an abundance of stadiums to host the throwing competitions.
Many German athletes used their championships as a final test before their start at the upcoming World Masters Athletics Championships Indoor in Toruń (March24-30, 2019).
