Progress Report to IAAF Council Portland marks a welcome November 2015 return of the world indoors to the United States of America. In 1987 Indianapolis, USA played host to the inaugural edition of the IAAF World Indoor Championships*. Since then there have been non- stadia events (race walking and cross country) and a wonderful world juniors in 2014. The IAAF World Indoor Championships, Portland 2016 therefore represent the most significant IAAF World Athletics Series competition to be hosted in the USA in three decades. The USA is historically the strongest athletics nation as measured by overall participation and the medals won by its athletes. Many of the legends of our sport are American. USA, the world’s first economic power, is a heartland of our sport yet general public perception of track and field athletics is low. The IAAF World Indoor Championships, Portland 2016 (17-20 March 2016) in the Oregon Convention Center will do much to raise awareness in America. Aside from the Rio Olympic Games these championships are the most important athletics event in 2016. I look forward with great anticipation to joining the athletes, coaches, officials, media and fans from around 150 nations in Portland. Sebastian

Bolt, who was once a 200-meter specialist, broke the 100-meter world mark for the third time during a thrilling showdown with Tyson Gay at the World Outdoor Championships in Berlin on Aug. 16, 2009. The Jamaican pulled ahead of Gay early in the race and never let up, finishing in 9.58 seconds. The victory came exactly one year after Bolt broke the record for the second time, winning the 2008 Olympic gold medal in 9.69. 2. 200 Meters Usain Bolt, Jamaica, 19.19. Bolt broke his own world mark at the 2009 World Outdoor Track & Field Championships, where he finished in 19.19 seconds on Aug. 20.

Many expected Johnson to eventually break Butch Reynolds' mark of 43.29 seconds, set in 1988, but 1999 seemed an unlikely year for the record to fall. Johnson suffered from leg injuries that season, missed the U.S. Championships and ran only four 400-meter races before the World Championships (where he gained an automatic entry as the defending champ). By the day of the World final, however, it was apparent that Johnson was in top form and that Reynolds' record was in jeopardy.

While it is probably too much to expect this to happen today, the ability of sport in general and the Olympic Games in particular to bring countries peacefully together is beyond question. After Cold War boycotts led by Soviet and U.S. teams during the 1980s, the Games have been largely free of political protests since 1988. And in Beijing in 2008, North and South Korea are due to field a joint team for the first time since the peninsula was divided 60 years ago. For journalists covering the Olympics, the task of following their home athletes through 302 different events in 28 sports is challenging enough.

  • Was Honoured to Be Invited by Oceania Athletics to Ho
    Oceania Moves Towards One Athletics Family Oceania Masters Athletics (OMA) was honoured to be invited by Oceania Athletics to hold the OMA Council and AGM in conjunction with Oceania Athletics Association’s (OAA) biennial Congress held at the Gold Coast on 6-8 February 2015. This first joint meeting provided many of our Pacific Island member federations the opportunity to attend the OMA AGM and learn more about masters athletics in the Oceania region. Similarly it gave OMA Council members the opportunity to interact with delegates from the Oceania member federations (including Australia and New Zealand) as well as a range of athletic and pacific games dignitaries. These included the IAAF Vice President, Lord Sebastian Coe, the IAAF Secretary General, Essar Gabriel, and a number of IAAF Council and IAAF Committee members as well as the 2014 IAAF Female Athlete of the Year, Valerie Adams. It became apparent during the Congress that the Oceania region although representing less than 1% of the world’s population was highly regarded because of the strength of its regional development. This particular Congress had a greater degree of importance, because later this year there will be an election of a new IAAF President – both Sebastian Coe and Sergey Bubka are standing for the IAAF Presidency. The Oceania region is important in these upcoming elections because each IAAF member federation has one vote - thus tiny nations such as Nauru and Palau have the same vote as China or the USA. Report from OAA President Geoff Gardiner In typical Pacific Island style the Congress was opened by a moving sporting prayer by the Fiji delegate.

  • Optimal Pacing for Running 400 M and 800 M Track Races
    Optimal Pacing for Running 400 m and 800 m Track Races James Reardon University of Wisconsin–Madison, Department of Physics, Madison, WI 53706∗ (Dated: April 3, 2012) Physicists seeking to understand complex biological systems often find it rewarding to create simple “toy models” that reproduce system behavior. Here a toy model is used to understand a puzzling phenomenon from the sport of track and field. Races are almost always won, and records set, in 400 m and 800 m running events by people who run the first half of the race faster than the second half, which is not true of shorter races, nor of longer. There is general agreement that performance in the 400 m and 800 m is limited somehow by the amount of anaerobic metabolism that can be tolerated in the working muscles in the legs. A toy model of anaerobic metabolism is presented, from which an optimal pacing strategy is analytically calculated via the Euler-Lagrange equation. This optimal strategy is then modified to account for the fact that the runner starts the race from rest; this modification is shown to result in the best possible outcome by use of an elementary variational technique that supplements what is found in undergraduate textbooks. The toy model reproduces the pacing strategies of elite 400 m and 800 m runners better than existing models do. The toy model also gives some insight into training strategies that improve performance. arXiv:1204.0313v1 [physics.pop-ph] 2 Apr 2012 2 I. INTRODUCTION The sport of athletics, called “track and field” in the USA, includes running competitions at distances ranging from 60 m to 10000 m.

  • Our Part in Four-Minute Mile History
    Our part in four-minute mile history Bruce McAvaney addressed a dinner in Melbourne recently, to commemorate Australian John Landy's first sub-four-minute mile and world record, run 50 years ago, six weeks after Roger Bannister first went under four. This is the transcript of his speech. "Here is the result of event No.9, the one mile: No. 41, R G Bannister, of the Amateur Athletic Association and formerly of Exeter and Merton Colleges, with a time that is a new meeting and track record, and which, subject to ratification, with be a new English native, British National, British all-comers, European, British Empire and World Record. The time is 3…." That's arguably the most famous cue, let alone understated announcement in athletics history…3 Minutes, 59.4 seconds! He was a formidable character, the announcer. Norris McWhirter died earlier this year, unfortunately just before the 50th anniversary of the first sub-four minute mile. McWhirter apparently had rehearsed assiduously the night before, in his bath, and it was through him that the BBC, the newsreel camera and most of the print media were present that day. McWhirter, and his twin Ross, who was gunned down in 1975 by the IRA, were joint founders and editors of the Guinness Book of Records. McWhirter had a sense of humour. Here in Melbourne at the 1956 Olympics, he told the story of a middle-aged Australian woman who, observing distressing scenes at the finish of the marathon exclaimed, "Cripes, how many qualify for the final?"… Back to Bannister, and the race: is it the sport's finest achievement? How does the 3.59.4 stack up with other athletic landmarks? Classics such as our own Ron Clarke's 27:39.4 in Oslo in 1965, a 35 second improvement on the previous mark.
