2006 African Championships Mauritius2006logo.jpg #FFCD57 Championships logo Bambous, Mauritius 9–13 August Stade Germain Comarmond 42 about 438 44 2004 Brazzaville 2008 Addis Ababa The 15th African Championships in Athletics were held in Mauritius between August 9 and August 13, 2006. The event was staged at Stade Germain Comarmond in Bambous, Rivière Noire District. This was the second time when the African Championships in Athletics were hosted in Mauritius, the first was in 1992. Many world-class runners were competing, but in terms of the field events the standard was poor. In addition, some of those, especially the throwing events, had very few participants as African federations cannot afford to send large teams.
