  • IAAF Nominees and Their Position Statements
    Robert Hersh Position: IAAF Council Member Nominators: Bill Roe, Dr. Evie Dennis Seconders: Bob Bowman, Stephanie Hightower, Larry James, Dee Jensen, Brooks Johnson, David Katz, Ed Koch, Rose Monday, Jim Murphy, Sandra Farmer Patrick, Vince Peters, Linda Phelps, Sue Polansky, Alan Roth, Anne Timmons As most readers of this statement know, I have been passionately involved in the sport of track and field for all of my adult life. My activities with USATF began with our organization’s creation in the late 1970’s, and since then I have, at different times, served as a Board member, Rules Chair, General Counsel, Track and Field Records Chair, Grand Prix Commissioner, and member of Law & Legislation and a number of other committees. I have been associated with the IAAF since 1984, when I was elected to the Technical Committee. I served on that Committee until my election to the Council in 1999. Since that time, I have contributed significantly to the IAAF through my service on the Council and as a member of the Competition Commission, Juridical Commission, Doping Review Board, and Anti- Doping Task Force. In addition, I have regularly been appointed by the IAAF to positions in connection with specific competitions, most frequently as an Announcer, but also as Technical Delegate and Jury of Appeal member. In all of my Council and Commission activities, I have served the interests not only of the IAAF, but also of USATF and its athletes, coaches, and officials. At times, this has involved defending USATF’s policies and practices relating to anti-doping control generally, and to the handling of specific case situations, some of which have been controversial.

    MATTONI České Budějovice Half Marathon 8 June 2013 PRESS GUIDE Information for journalists The race is a part of the RunCzech Running League EN www.runczech.com PRESS GUIDE 2 3 PRESS GUIDE Dear sports friends Welcome to České Budějovice! To a city whose history spans over almost seven hundred and fifty years, a Royal city also famed for its mining, minting and university tradition. And as of last year a city boasting a world-class running race. The interest demonstrated by runners and spectators alike in the premiere of the Mattoni České Budějovice Half Marathon was huge, while nobody could have predicted the sensational time scooped up by its winner. Praise is especially due in this respect to Carlo Capalbo and his colleagues who managed to turn Budějovice into a run- ning destination which can now be compared to traditional events organised in other large cities such as those taking place in Berlin and New York. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all those taking part in our second ever half marathon a wonderful time in our city. And in the spirit of our national hero, Emil Zátopek, I’d like to add: “If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run the marathon.” Juraj Thoma Mayor of the City of České Budějovice Dear fans of sport and distance running in particular, It’s a pleasure for me to welcome you to the 2nd ever Mattoni České Budějovice Half Marathon. Whether your goal in taking part is about achieving the best possible time, comparing your time against the world running elite, joining a relay with friends or work colleagues, or perhaps joining a race suitable for the whole family, including your children, we’re delighted to see you here.
