Teddy Tamgho started 2011 off on the right foot with a fine 17.46 m opener at a small regional meet in France! Galen Rupp had an asthma attack at the Boise Invitational which caused him to drop out of the mile last weekend. A busy weekend in indoor track & field.

Watch for the controversy over the legacy of the 2012 London athletics facility get caught in all kinds of legal wranglings. Insidethegames.biz suggested that Downing Street  never even considered that London would even win the 2012 Games, so the issue of the athletics legacy was mute.

On the contrary, the sales job by Lord Coe and former PM Blair may have been the best on record. Be careful what you wish for. London 2012 has to find a way to keep the athletics legacy going in UK, and work with the soccer club that sees athletics fans as sports fans, so another opportunity to grow their fan base.  Stay tuned….

man Vladimir Lisin has been appointed vice-president of the country’s National
Olympic Committee and been tasked with raising funds to help its athletes
prepare for London 2012 and Rio 2016. Informs Insidthegames. The 54-year-old
from Ivanovo, the owner of Novolipetsk Steel who is estimated by Forbes
magazine to be worth $15.8 billion (£9.9 billion), has been elected President
of Russia’s National Association of Summer Olympic Sports, a position that
carries with it the role of vice-president of the Russian Olympic Committee

javelin champion Tessa Sanderson has threatened legal action unless she is

interest and that the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC), of which she is a
Board member, should allow her to vote. The 1984 javelin gold medallist was
told this week by the OPLC’s chief executive, Andrew Altman, that she would be

the contract had not been disclosed. Informs Insidethegames.biz.

ago. Salazar immediately asked his other runners to get flu shots in an effort
to prevent them from picking up the virus. Rupp had a flu shot on Thursday and
wasn’t feeling well on Friday.
