NEWSLETTER 4 MARCH 1981 ----EOITORIAL .------

The 4th World Veterans Track and Field Championships held in Christchurch, New Zealand, have come and gone. Twenty four hundred men and womn cane with their minds on conipetitions and much as they enjoyed this aspect of their trips, they went away with lasting wmries of a beautiful country and its openheared, friendly and sporting people. P. separate write up is contained elsewhere in this Newsletter with partial results. The organizing comniittee was faced not only with the massive necessary arrangenents but with complicating political problems too. They came through with flying colours. President of the games John MacDonald added a personal triumph by winning both the F.145-49 5000M and 10,000M as well as placing second in Cross Country (on the winning tean:) and third in Marathon. Nor we look for- ward & years to our 5th championships which will take place in Puerto Rico. Let us sincerely hope that they can be conducted with the sane fine conbination of efficiency and relaxed atmosphere which the the New Zealanders were able to exhibit. I would like to repeat my thanks to all W.A.V.A. mehers for the confidence shown by re-electin! me as your President. I look forward to this next term in the hope that I can bear out your confidence completeiy. Gle have two changes in the Executive: Roland Jerneryd who has served since 1977 as W.A.!I.A. Secretary felt he could no lon~ercontinue in this difficult position. Whilst acknowledging Roland's judgerrent in this matter merrbers of the Executive felt that Roland's considerable talents were still vital to W.A.V.A. and asked hinl to stand as executive Vice-President where he can contribute to iwportant issues v~itho~tta special portfolio, Roland was duly elected to the satisfaction of all those who know his contributions to W.A.V.A. in these Sorm- ative years. Rcland entered our ranks as the Swedish President of the Gothenburg Championships. Now everyone sees hi^ as a true International representative. Preparing to fill Roland's shoes in the Secretarial role is Owen Flaherty from Edinburgh Scotland. Secretary of the Scottish Veteran Harriers, Owen is also a carveti tor in distance events. Good luck Gwen. Wal Sheppard of Australia not only put together the great Australian Veteran team but has been a spearhead in the whole International movement. He has served as Representative of Oceania since the forniation of W;A.V.P. Ps there are presently only two affiliated countries in Oceania Wal has decided that he should step back this tine and allow Clem Green of New Zealand to take a turn. Thenk you Wal . We feel confident you will still be close whenever we can use your help. Welcome and good luck to Clem Freen. Clem is a Vice-President of I.G.A.L.

Today I felt fresh and fast--Schul who won it did 52 something on the last lap, he ran the ready to go. I think it pays to undertrain rather than overtrain last 300 faster than Snell did in the 1500. I ran the last 400 in at the veteran stage. Mavy veterans tend to overdo it, they push 56, about as fast as I could run.

The fall off in these events, from peak years, is mre than in the sprint races. If one considers that. in the llOH analysis many of the times are over lower hurdles - then all reflect a sharper decline than even the tough 400m flat race. This partly due to there being less intense conrpetition in these events and partly reflection of the fact that the older athlete finds flexibility and stride length impossible to mintain. I feel very strongly, that it supports the case for veteran races over lower hurdles from the start, and in the 110 H changing to various sprint hurdle events used by women and the junioriyouth groups. It makes sense and would not only encourage more to participate, but minimise ihe rather 'unathletic' spectacle c;f poor hurZling ard inability to maintain a stride pattern between flights.

4,: ';. Sllminami 20. P9 "Old Masters"- -- by Jack Pennington

A great attraction of Veteran athletics is the characters you might meet, Olympians, former rivals of long ago, and those friends made at places like Cologne, London, New York, Toronto, Ooteborg, tianover and so on. At Christchurch I had hoped to become reaquainted with the likes of Gordon Pirie, and Arthur Lydiard, who with Jack Foster were notable and somewhat surprising absentees. Them was of course sow compensation in observing that Bill Baillie was still a Champion. (;ordon Pirie competed in the 1980 Australian titles and was devas ted to find that men older than himself could beat him over 1,50Omts, 5km and even at his favourite event, cross-country. Me vowed that he would be much harder to beat when he was liIgh Jump 50 at Christchurch, meanwhile he was off on a World trip at the expense of Air New Zealand to promote the World Veterans. 10000 23 T. Filkusl?ima 1.05 Arthur Lydiard now 64 had twice recently broken 3 hours for the marathon, 1A T.Akazawa and Jack Foster, at the age of 48 did expect to be at the Moscow Olympics in the Marathon. In 1980 he won the New Zealand title and placed second in the National 1I3 M.lJmikata Broad Jump cross-country, incidentally, one of the most hair raising and spectacular scenes in a recent film was of Jack Foster running down a 45 degree "scree-slop" (loose 2d S .Karasawa 1~ -r.h'atalcaka 5.18 shale) descending some 3,000 feet. The film is a supporting film on the Cinema circuits, called "On the Run" and includes John Walker and Arthur Lydiard. 2B J .I?yugO in M.Kataoka 4. 60 Watch for it, it is produced by the Commonwealth film unit of New Zealand. We should also look out for the film of the World Veterans at Christchurch, made by 3A S .Sliihuya ?A s .yarnamoto 3.67 New Zealand T.V. to be called "The Good Age", doubt it will include the episodes which featured a minority protest against Apartheid. 3R F,.Basaki 2I3 T.Fuhushima 3.28 Also at Christchurch were a variety of interesting characters. One was 4A M.Konno from the backwoods of U.S.A. who rawly ever paid a visit to the City. He was equipped with a pair of home made spikes and had wade these from liquid latex. 4E F.Ynmanouchi -Shot z* They fitted like rubber gloves. 1 K.Yosliinari 12.07 FOSTER: 2hrs 11 mins 28 secs at age 42 WOMEN 1R T.liatakeyama 7-72 --PIRIE: Former World record holder 1 mile BAILLEE:-- di tto 1 hr.

2A S.Yamamot0 17.11 Cliff Young, and his mother aged 87, are potatoe growers 50 miles from Melbourne Australia. Cliff is 59 and started Veteran Athletics in 1980 when he 2B M.Takahashi 17.3 turned up for a marathon, he was without any form of athletic gear and ran in street clothes, most of the line thought he was joking, when he said "he expected 3A F.Imazu 17.9 to finish because he ran 26 miles two days earlier, in a woolen pull-over".

In fact he f~dea practice of runnina 25 miles.. to~~ netd- . a .. hair~ . cut-- - and- 75-- milw.. . . -- 3B H. Saika 19.6 back again, (without bothering about-food) and in fact he did not eat meat.

He was then persuaded to try himself out at Christchurch, and in passing National Masters 50C0 meters Cross Country Championships. . . -. through Melbourne en-route, he made his first visit to a City in ten Years. E'lhoa par^, San Diego, Cn.li:Tornia, Clear, no wind, 6z0 F. Despite being handicapped by water-logged track suite in the heat of the day, .his first cross-country race was a fairly successful 13th place.
