Westfale Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 It is May and the Athletics season is underway. I am not an active athletics athlete, but i am interested in athletics and i hope to have a discussion with you in the next few months. There are several events coming up. The climax of the season will be the W-Ch in Osaka. Apart from the W-Ch there will be the prestigious Golden League Series with events in Oslo, Paris, Roma, Zürich, Brussels and Berlin, the World Athletics Final in Stuttgart and many smaller meetings. For the European members i would like to recommend the the website of the EAA and the site (updated regularly) with the European Best Performers in 2007. There is also a site with all international athletes, but i cant find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arwebb Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 If we finish above relegation we've done fairly well. I'm glad the selectors went with Pickering in the 100 metres. He's earned his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfale Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 The British Men´s Team is a member of the Super League. These teams of the Super League will hold their competition next weekend at the Olympic Stadium in Munich. The British Women´s Team has been relegated from the Super League to the First Division last year. There are two First Divisions. One meeting will be in Vaasa, Finland next weekend, the other one will be in Milan, Italy at the same time. The British Women will compete in Finland and are trying to regain their place in the Super League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thanks for clearing that up Goethe. It all makes sense now. I did try to look it up on the Munich website but I couldn't find any link to Finland. Perhaps I wasn't looking properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfale Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 A good day for the German teams in Munich with Obergfölls new ER in the center of the German interest. The weather forecast for tomorrow isn't that good. We´ll have to wait and see. I still think the French will win the men´s competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I haven't been watching much of it today because I was watching Royal Ascot, but it seems as though the British teams have both had pretty good days. Particularly pleasing to see Craig Pickering justify his selection in the 100 metres. The women look well placed to bounce back into the Super League and if the men can get up into third place, they'll have done well, I think.
