SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 44 - August 2005)
SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 44 - August 2005) 2012 AND ALL THAT With the 2012 Olympic Games being awarded to London the spotlight will be on sport in general over the next seven years. With Athletics being the premier Olympic discipline attention on our sport is likely to be intense. Already some of our athletes, whose performances in recent international championships are featured elsewhere in this edition of SCAN, are beinghighlighted as potential Olympians at the London Games. We have all seen how the media thrives on personalities and, on occasions, this has not been to the benefit of the sportsman or sportswoman concerned. We have to be mindful to protect our Junior athletes who may well not be equipped to handle all the hype that may be thrust upon them. It does not appear that the facilities to be built for the London Olympics will be within our county. Therefore, if we are to benefit from the “legacy” it is unlikely to be in terms of “bricks and mortar” but rather in less tangible items such as profile / awareness which will, we hope, lead to greater support from the community at large. The media has focused on the potential for greater success by British participants in a Games held on home soil. However, if the London Olympics are to provide a catalyst for a higher standard of participation by British athletes then we are more likely to see the improvement in 2016/2020 rather than 2012. It is now seven years before the 2012 Games. At the Athens Olympics Surrey had 6 athletes taking part whose ages in 1997 were 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 & 24 with all(except Joice Maduaka) havingparticipated inSurrey Track and Field Championships bythat time. -
Blackheath & Bromley Courier
Blackheath & Bromley Courier August 2020. President 2020-21. Nic Corry Editor. Pat Calnan ([email protected]) We have a trickle of results in this issue of the Courier but it is unlikely to herald a flood. It is difficult to put on track and field meetings at the best of times, especially in Leagues where there is a full programme of events. In the midst of a global pandemic it becomes near impossible. We await news of the fate of the London Marathon in the first week of August, but Brighton is cancelled. The Wednesday Nighters Lockdown Challenge continues each week and there are refreshments at the Clubhouse each Wednesday between 7 and 9 pm with the President’s news at 8pm.

Bislett the Bislett Alliance Is Delighted to Welcome You to Oslo for Truly World Class Athletics at the Bislett Stadium on 7 June 2018
MEDIA INFORMATION 2018 Welcome to Bislett The Bislett Alliance is delighted to welcome you to Oslo for truly world class athletics at the Bislett Stadium on 7 June 2018. First held in 1966, the Oslo Bislett Games is the fifth event in this year’s IAAF Diamond League series following Doha, Shanghai, Eugene and Rome. With quality fields in all events, including more Olympic Champions, World Champions and European Championships than ever before, we are set for yet another exciting evening at Bislett. The upcoming European Championships in Berlin this August makes the competitions even more important as the athletes are looking to find their best form. The Bislett Stadium is known globally as “the World Record Track”, testimony to the 69 world records in athletics that have been established at this unique stadium. Bislett is equally well known for the electric atmosphere in the stadium and its knowledgeable spectators that encourage and support all competitors. As a part of the ambition of Oslo Bislett Games to become the most sustainable international athletics meeting in the world, all transport is to be completely emission free from the moment the athletes arrive in Norway. Moreover, the athletes will travel by train to the next IAAF Diamond League meeting, Bauhaus-galan in Stockholm. I hope this guide will help you in your work and answer your questions. Please see oslo.diamondleague.com for all the latest information, including start lists and the standings in the IAAF Diamond League Road to the final. The web site will be continuously updated with results during the meeting. -
SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 37 - November 2003)
SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 37 - November 2003) Two Surrey officials have been elected to positions on the International Association of Athletics Federations. David Littlewood, one of Britain's most experienced athletics officials, has been voted back onto the IAAF technical committee on which he previously served from 1997 to 1999. David, a retired schoolmaster, who lives in New Malden, is an international technical official, a member of the panel of IAAF international photofinish judges and a member of the athletics technical commission of the International School Sports Federation He has regularly officiated at Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth Championships and, following his election at the IAAF Congress in Paris, he officiated at the World Championships there as the international photo-finish judge. He has been secretary of the English Schools Athletics Association since 1992 and served more than 40 years as treasurer of Hercules Wimbledon Athletic Club. Since 1981, he has been chairman of the British Technical Officials Committee and has officiated at more than 100 international meetings in Britain as track judge, track referee, chief photofinish judge or meeting manager. He was track referee at last year's Commonwealth Games in Manchester, at the 1987 European Junior Championships, the 1989 and 1994 European Cup finals and the 1991 World University Games. He was international photofinish judge at the World Cup in South Africa in 1998, and the World indoor championships in Barcelona and Lisbon in 1995 and 2001. He was referee at the World half-marathon championship in Bristol in 2001 and chief photofinish judge and member of the technical organising committee at this year's IAAF World Indoor Championships in Birmingham. -
SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 65 - November 2010)
SURREY COUNTY ATHLETIC NEWS (Issue 65 - November 2010) In this issue we mark the passing of 5 Surrey stalwarts who in their different ways have served our sport. ROY BRISLEY - One of Surrey's top officials more than four decades ago, Roy Brisley, died on November 2 aged 78. He was elected president of the Surrey Women's Athletic Association in 1970 after serving as the association's chief coach, team manager and treasurer. He was a long-standing member of Hercules Wimbledon Athletic Club and a former English schools senior boys high jump champion. Brisley joined the former Hercules Club in Spring 1945 while a pupil at Bec School, Tooting. He proved quite an all-rounder and held club records for the high jump, long jump, shot, discus and decathlon. He excelled at the high jump and set a club men's U17 record of 1.60m in 1949 and the following year improved to 1.73m in winning the Surrey junior title with a Surrey and Club record clearance. Despite finishing third in the Surrey schools championships in 1951, he managed to win the English schools senior boys title at Southampton that year. In 1952, his future in athletics came under threat when he tore ligaments in his ankle but he bounced back in 1954 by improving his club record in clearing 1.83m. He became a qualified high jump coach in 1950 and then qualified in every track and field event apart from the hammer. He was appointed chief coach to the Surrey women's team in 1955 and before becoming president in 1970 served as team manager and treasurer to the Surrey Women's Association.
