The newly resurfaced track at Jamaica’s National Stadium in Kingston is likely to receive World Athletics Class 2 certification rather than its original Class 1 status, according to a sports construction industry expert who spoke on condition of anonymity.

An independent inspector from World Athletics is expected to assess the newly resurfaced track at Jamaica’s National Stadium in short order, as the process of recertification moves into a critical phase. The outcome will determine the facility’s eligibility to host international competitions and whether upcoming performances can be officially recognized.
