Asafa Powell, the only man to break ten seconds for the 100 meters 76 times, and former world record holder at the 100 meters, plans to run indoors this season. The 2012 World Indoors in Istanbul, Turkey will again be an event where some of the younger athletes will get a chance to excel. Some stars will attend, and some will, noting how Olympic years take so much out an athlete, race sparingly in the indoor season.



Kszczot with some indoor races

BYDGOSZCZ (POL): European indoor and U23 Champion Adam Kszczot of Poland
was in good training over two weeks in Spain (Andalucia) with young
Wojciech Jarosz. Next camp will be staged in Monte Gordo, Portugal and
then Potchefstroom in South Africa. He plans indoor meetings, but not
World Indoor Championships. For summer main goal is Olympic Games in
London and because of this he will most probably pass on European
Championships in Helsinki. Kszczot improved to impressive 1:43.30 in
2011 and was 6th in Daegu at World Championships. Informs PZLA website.
His 1:43.30 is 10th best European of all-time and best since 2002.

Fujita no for Fukuoka

FUKUOKA (JPN): Brett Larner informs that the organizers of the Fukuoka
International Marathon announced that former national record holder
Atsushi Fujita, with a PB of 2:06:51, has withdrawn from its invited
athlete field due to pain in his right Achilles tendon. This year’s
Fukuoka is the first domestic selection race for next year’s London
Olympics (December 4).

Powell at least PB

KINGSTON (JAM): Asafa Powell said for Trackalerts that he decided to run
indoor races for first time since 2004 because training is going well.
“I think I could do great things indoors,” said the popular sprinter.
More details are not known yet, which races he might choose and also
whether he will compete in Istanbul at World Indoor Championships. About
the possibility to attack the world indoor record he said: “I do not
know, maybe. But I want to improve my personal best.” That time is 6.56 from 2004. 

Edwards President of Wenlock

LONDON (GBR): Insidethegames informs that Sydney 2000 Olympic triple
jump champion Jonathan Edwards has been named as the new President of
the prestigious Wenlock Olympian Society in Shropshire. The iconic
Society was founded in Much Wenlock back in 1850 by the legendary Dr
William Penny Brookes to run the Wenlock Olympian Games. It was this
event that inspired Brookes’ friend Baron Pierre de Coubertin to create
the Olympic Movement, including the first Modern Games at Athens in
1896. Edwards, who also still holds the triple jump world record which
he set in 1995, has been the vice-president of the Wenlock Olympian
Society but has accepted the post of President after the previous
incumbent Roy Rogers died suddenly in April this year at the age of 79.
