  • 2017 Annual Meeting Committee Reports
    2017 USATF ANNUAL MEETING COMMITTEE REPORTS 2017 Athletes Advisory Committee Annual Report Submitted October 30, 2017 Purpose: The purpose of this report is to summarize the strategic goals and progress towards such of the USATF Athletes Advisory Committee in 2017. Strategic Goal #1: Athlete Funding & Support Increase athlete funding through prize money, stipends, Revenue Distribution Plan The RDP contract is being finalized between the national office and the AAC to ensure fair treatment and no room for interpretation. A plan for the 2018 RDP money (since there is no team to make and be paid for) is being presented to the national office. Athletes need to be paid on time, in a predictable manner. A schedule is being put together detailing when each type of payment can be expected (Tier payments, prize money, RDP), to which the national office will be held accountable. The Emergency Relief Fund was finalized in 2016 to provide emergency financial assistance to current or recently retired athletes facing a catastrophic event causing financial distress. In 2017, the fund was first used to help athletes in dire situations. USATF has funded the account initially, with the AAC being responsible for future fundraising. Strategic Goal #2: Domestic Competitive Opportunities It is important to the AAC that we continue to seek out opportunities for domestic competitions to reduce the dependency on the European circuit. 2019 will be an especially important year, as the World Championships will take place much later than usual (late Sept/early Oct). We will need domestic competitive opportunities in June, July and August of 2019.

  • Press Release Gatlin Vs Gay Vs Powell
    Press release Gatlin vs Gay vs Powell: big clash in the 100 m Great opposition for Hussein in the 400m hurdles The 100m has always been one of the highlights of Athletissima, and it will be no different this year. With the 3 fastest men this season, Justin Gatlin, Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay, who have all won at least one time at the Pontaise and confirmed their presence, there will be an electrifying atmosphere on the evening of July 9. 2004 Olympic champion and 2013 vice-world champion Gatlin has not been defeated either in the 100 or the 200m for over a season and a half. In his latest race, in Rome, he got just 1/100th of a second short of his own world leading time of the year which he set in Qatar at the opening of the Diamond League series. Another clear message to his opponents, amongst whom Usain Bolt, who will run the 200m in Lausanne. This domination makes the American the clear favorite of the race. One year ago, he won in Lausanne in 9.80, just ahead of Gay, who himself had won the race 12 months earlier in 9.79, just ahead of… Powell. The Jamaican won four times in Lausanne (2004, 2008, 2009 and 2011), with a personal best of 9.72 seven years ago. The three sprinters, who are all in their 30s (Each 33 years of age), have already shown their ambitions this year. The "cheetah" clocked 9.74 in Doha, Powell 9.84 in Kingston and Gay 9.88 in Eugene.
