Sporting officials say an annual international track meet on the island of Crete has been canceled because of lack of funds.
The Greek Amateur Athletics Federation, SEGAS, says the July 7 Vardinoyannia games would not take place because the local track association cannot pay for maintenance at the Gallos Municipal Stadium in the Cretan city of Rethymno.
