CHERUIYOT
THINKS ROAD FOR FUTURE

NAIROBI
(KEN): Kenyan Sportswoman of the year world champion Vivian Cheruiyot revealed
that she sees her future in road racing. „The awards are very motivational and
if I stay in good health, I look forward to add on the Olympic gold
medal and the world record, then I will see whether to continue on track
or like Tergat or Haile Gebrselassie, move on to road running,” she said for
Kenyan media after getting the award. „It is great, Soya Awards have made me
happy. In Monaco I left so disappointed and I kept asking why they
did this to me,” said Cheruiyot.

 

CITY
OF OSTRAVA WITH BIG PLANS IN ATHLETICS

OSTRAVA
(CZE): Czech city of Ostrava continues in its effort to bring big international
athletics to the city. New website informing about its activity – not only in
connection with the bid for the Eropean Team Championships 2014 – is open at www.ostrava2014.com. Fifty
years of Ostrava Golden Spike meeting (IAAF World Challenge), IAAF World Youth
Championships 2007, European Athletics Under 23 Championships 2011 are the top
events in which Ostrava and the Czech Republic succeeded. And Ostrava wants to
carry on. Once the European Athletics Under 23 Chapionships was over the
organising team of this year event submitted its bid application form for the
European Team Championships 2014. The City of Ostrava, a well-known city
of sports, has countless years of experience when organising big sports – not
only athletics – events and it is ready to take up new challenges. Plans also
include ideas about staging World Junior Championships, IAAF Continental Cup or
even the European Championships 2020 (without walking and marathon). Golden
Spike meeting organisers are ready to become Samsung Diamond League event in
case such a possibility will open. Czech Minister for Education, Youth ans
Sports Josef Dobes recently sent a letter to IAAF President Lamine Diack
assuring him about financial guarantees for that level of one day meetings.
Ostrava meeting director, legendary javelin thrower and IOC Member Jan Zelezny
also gives his credit for this idea.

 

PHILLIPS
MOST PROBABLY NO FOR INDOORS

LOS
ANGELES (USA): Four time long jump world champion Dwight Phillips will most
probably skip the indoor season to concentrate on the summer. Confirmed his
agent Caroline Feith. He so far won „only” one olympic gold in 2004 and wants
to attack another one in London. He is not an frequent indoor jumper, since
2004 competed only once indoors in his special event. At the World Indoors he
made only one appearance, winning the gold in Birmingham 2003.

 

TOTH
THINKS ABOUT 50 K ONLY IN LONDON

BANSKA
BYSTRICA (SVK): Best Slovak walker and IAAF World Cup winner 2010 Matej Toth
changed his philosophy for 2012. He wants to compete at the London Games only
in one event and that should be the 50 km. Additionally it will be his first 50
k from now as he got the wild card from Slovak Athletics Federation and in
spring will compete only in shorter races. „I showed this year with 3:39:46
national record in Dudince that I m able to achieve a high quality
result. There is no need to prove that before the games. I want to show
something similar in London,” said Toth who in Daegu was 14th at 20 km and
unable to finish the 50 km due to an injury.
