The 2019 Russian Indoor Athletics Championships was the 28th edition of the annual indoor track and field competition organised by the All-Russia Athletic Federation (ARAF), which serves as the Russian national indoor championship for the sport. A total of 24 events (divided evenly between the sexes) were contested over three days from 13 to 15 February at the Alexander Gomelsky Universal Sports Hall CSKA in Moscow.
Due to ongoing international sanctions for doping against the Russian governing body, the competition did not serve as a selection meet for the 2019 European Athletics Indoor Championships.[1]
In addition to the main track and field championship, national championship events were held separately for the indoor mile on 3 February in Moscow, and for combined track and field events from 13 to 16 February in Kirov.[2]
The women's high jump saw world-class performances from Mariya Lasitskene and Anna Chicherova, both of whom cleared 2.02 m (6 ft 7+1⁄2 in). Anzhelika Sidorova had her sixth consecutive win in the women's pole vault, while Vladimir Nikitin (3000 m) and Kristina Sivkova (60 m) each won their third national indoor titles.
