Sports Visa issues plague Prefontaine Classic track meet By News Desk Posted on May 28, 2017 1 min read 0 0 1,690 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr Some 10 athletes, including 2015 world champion hurdler Sergey Shubenkov, encountered issues with obtaining visas to compete in the Prefontaine Classic track meet. The meet starting Friday night is the only U.S. stop for the international Diamond League series. Organizer Tom Jordan said it was the first time in nearly a decade that athletes had encountered visa problems traveling to the United States for the meet. He said the athletes were from various countries, including Russia and Ethiopia. Shubenkov’s visa was approved Thursday, too late for him to travel to Eugene, Ore. according to the athlete’s Instagram post. No reason was given for the delay. The Russian was supposed to be part of a start-studded field for the 110-meter hurdles at the Prefontaine, which includes Rio Olympics gold medalist Omar McLeod of Jamaica and U.S. star Devon Allen.
