BENGALURU: The Karnataka Athletics Association's (KAA) decision to shift the venue of the State meet from here to Udupi at short notice has put top athletes, many of whom train at the Sree Kanteerava stadium, in great difficulty as they struggled to get tickets to reach the new venue in time.
"It is hard for these athletes but they have no choice as the state meet is also the selection trials to pick the team for the Inter-State championships," a noted coach told TOI.
