Well, seeing it's during the IAAF Golden League 2007, and we've just had the World Championships in Osaka, JP. I thought it would be a good idea to have this thread. Also, keeping up with the preperations for the 2008 Beijing Olympics would be ideal in here! It's a shame, because I've seen a few threads with some related content, but for people like myself, I'd like to see it all in one thread.

Important Links:

[B]http://www.iaaf.org/[/B] - the obvious one, but it's got great content and is very up-to-date

[B]http://www.athletics-weekly.com/[/B] - Probably the best source for homegrown athletics, but also has content on current events throughout Europe.

[B]http://www.european-athletics.org/[/B] - The best source for European content, gives weekly round-ups and other rankings, pretty decent!

[B]http://www.athleticsontv.org.uk/[/B] - This site is brilliant, it tells you whats on and where! Really handy, saves people flicking through the TV channels, hoping to see something!

Latest headline in world athletics is Asafa Powell smashing the 100m record, yet to see it myself, but from reviews, he was spectacular! (Even with that massive tailwind, but hey! It was legal, so no complaints from me)

Anyways, Enjoy and post away!

:cool:

With a bit of luck we might get two golds in Track and Field this year. Phillips Idowu looks in great form and sotherton has a good chance in the Heptathlon now that Kluft has pulled out. Would help if she could actually throw a javelin mind...

Not to mention Christine Ohuruogu.
