The World Indoor Champs in Valencia, Spain happen March 7 to 9 and we will be there! I have attached some info on the teams coming from EME news. More updates tomorrow. I am finally on the way to Boston after no equipment Saturday night from Vegas!

EME NEWS (FEB 25, 2008) VALENCIA TEAMS SPECIAL (first wave of team announcements, others to follow on Tuesday)
EUROPE
GREECE: Tsatoumas and four women
ATHENS: Greece will be represented by national record holder Luis Tsatoumas in Long Jump as the only man. Women star is the Osaka triple jump bronze holder Hrisopiyi Devetzi who improved this year her national indoor record to 14.89, she is also entered to Long Jump. Athanasia Perra competes in Triple Jump too, Flora Redoumi at 60mH and new national record holder Nikoleta Kiriakopoulou in Pole Vault.
SWITZERLAND: Only Weyermann
BERN: Switzerland will send only sprinter Fabienne Weyermann (7.44 at 60 m) and so use the possibility that each country can enter one male and female athlete (in technical events if confirmed by IAAF). Men´s one place possibility will not be used.
SLOVAKIA: Valukevic the hope
BRATISLAVA: Slovakia is sending four athletes, quite a good number in comparison to previous editions. The main hope for finals is Triple Jumper Dmitrij Valukevic (17.13), currently fourth in world indoor lists. 800 m runner Jozef Repcik (NR this year at 800 m and 1000 m) with Hurdler Miriam Bobkova (four national records this winter from 8.15 to 8.04) are representing the up and coming group. In the shot put only Milan Haborak will travel as the European Indoor Champion Mikulas Konopka did not achieved the necessary standard 20.05 m.
AUSTRIA: Two sprinters
WIEN: Bettina Muller-Weissina at 60 m and improved Clemens Zeller at 400 m (46.58 this year) will be two Austrian athletes in Valencia.
POLAND: 17 members Team headed by Pole Vaulters
WARSZAWA: Apart of both relay teams other 8 individual competitors were named to represent Poland in Valencia. Pole Vaulters Monika Pyrek and Anna Rogowska are the medal hopes. Also Karolina Tyminska in absence of Carolina Kluft could be a medal threat in Pentathlon. Ewelina Setowska-Dryk will compete at 800 m, Artur Noga and Dominik Bochenek at 60 m Hurdles. Good final chances also for long jumper Marcin Starzak and Shot Putter Tomasz Majewski. Relay team members – men: Kedzia, Chylinski, Sobinski, Klimczak, Zajaczkowski, women: Karpiesiuk, Lukasik, Wojcik, Pskit.
PORTUGAL: Evora the main name

Former champion Pavla Rybova will be alone in Pole Vault as Osaka medalist Katerina Badurova is after surgery. Surprise of the team is the young runner Jakub Holusa who achieved in his first senior year the standard in two events, but most probably will prefer 800 m in place of 1500 m at the championships.
