Additional information: After much scrutiny and doubt was placed upon the ability of the organizers of Nykipiflugpuun Ihmyysporttityrnyy to successfully host an international sporting event on Nykipish soil, the inaugural edition of the event was ultimately held in the ill-constructed Timantirkaan Sporttirakennus in central Timantirkas, much to the shock and dismay of the international community.
Nevertheless, with the archipelago under the new administration of Kyrmy Kyrmynen, and in light of the thawing of relations between Nykipiflugpuu and the Abovian government, the Timantirkaan Sporrtirakennus (Timantirkas Sports Building) — a heated, low-capacity indoor athletics facility complete with a roof and functional lighting — has been elected to serve as the sole venue for Aboveland and Nykipiflugpuu in the second edition of the Global Athletics Tour. The Nykipiflugpuu Tourism and Sporting Board once again sponsors the event; Administrator Kyrmynen has claimed that "the GAT placing a vote of confidence on the NTSB and my own administration will give Nykipiks and Abovians alike a well-deserved, and sorely needed, chance at redemption."
