That must be the reason why Nairobi can't get that senior World Champs the entire Africa deserves :wacko:

World Athletics really needs to put 'flawless organization' aside as a (too) important factor. You're just not going to get flawlessly organized events in places like Kenya, because every single year in every single sport we see events all over Africa having all kinds of organizational problems. However, in terms of sports quality and general feel and atmosphere, they're often absolutely amazing. The junior world championships in Nairobi a few years ago showed how badly they should have a senior worlds there, I've never seen a whole stadium party like that all day long, day after day. Best athletics event ever.

Former hammer thrower and double Olympic medalist Jüri Tamm has passed away. With that, the entire 1980 and 1988 Olympic podium - all-Soviet - has passed away in barely three years.

Autumn Marathon season is unusually strong this year with Boston & London being postponed from the spring. First major is on Sunday with Berlin as the first in the newly named Elite Platinum series, as the marketeers at World Athletics show worrying signs of running out of superlatives.
