Athletics Team Leaders’ Guide Welcome! On behalf of the entire organising committee, it’s an honour to introduce this Team Leaders’ Guide for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. I would like to thank everyone at the IOC, the international federations, the NOCs and all stakeholders and partners for their support in the creation of these guides, as well as in helping us in our preparations for the athletes and teams at Games time. We have been working for years to provide all the athletes with the best possible services and environments, in the Olympic Village as well as the competition and training venues, and to ensure their maximum performance at the first-ever Olympic Games in South America. Some of the highlights of this guide include: • Key dates and personnel • Information on the competition format and rules • Details on processes relating to competition and training • Specific venue facilities and services, including transport information and maps • General information on topics that are vital for all sports, such as medical services, doping control, accreditation and security We trust that this publication will assist you in your planning for Games time and your stay here in Rio de Janeiro. If you require any additional information that has not been included in this guide, please do not hesitate to contact Rio 2016 competition management at your competition or training venue, or the Sport Information Centre or NOC Services Centre in the Olympic Village. Rio 2016 is ready to deliver a one-of-a-kind Games, and we are more than proud to welcome you and the rest of the world!

    Announcements. Athlete Spotlight. Joe

    THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT. JOE KOVACS, SHOT PUT As the track & field outdoor season comes to a close, shot put thrower Joe Kovacs has enjoyed a breakout year in 2015. At the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, Kovacs won his first World Championship title in the men’s shot put on August 23. Kovacs finished the qualifying round in the lead with a mark of 21.36m, automatically qualifying him for the final on just his second attempt. In the final, he threw a 21.93m for his fifth attempt at the Bird’s Nest, setting him apart from the pack with a 19cm lead. The win in Beijing marks Kovacs’ seventh first place victory so far in 2015 and he is the sixth United States thrower to win a world title. Leading up to the World Championships in Beijing, Kovacs led the pack throughout the season. He had a strong start at the UCLA Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational in April where he claimed first place and improved his personal best distance. Kovacs continued this strong momentum into the 2015 IAAF Diamond League meets where he dominated the competition earning three first place finishes as well as a second and a fourth place. To add to his list of 2015 gold medals and first place finishes, Kovacs won gold at the USA Track & Field National Championships in June with a throw of 21.84m. One of Kovacs’ biggest victories during his outstanding 2015 season was at the IAAF Diamond League meet in Monaco in mid-July.
