Athletics Weekly

I've just heard the sad news that Tony Ward has passed away. After a long and distinguished career in the sport as a coach, author and visionary administrator, Tony worked as press officer for the BAF until the mid nineties, and then worked for Athletics Weekly until 2005. More details when I have t...

Athletics Weekly has 2 pairs of prime location six-day spectator tickets for Barcelona next week that need a good home. The dates are Tuesday 27th July to Sunday 1st August. Please contact me for details.

I hear that Mo Farah ran 27:28 in Marseille tonight.... Waiting for the official results....

We've just been informed that the Athletics Weekly app is No. 15 in a list of most downloaded free sports apps!

Sleady, it is definitely something we intend to do at some stage in the future, but it would be a lot of scanning for someone! Maybe it might be a summer job for a keen student?

We've made a short film of the AW app in action! http://bit.ly/awipad

The 'iPad' version of the AW app is now available and our American readers are already downloading it. It works on the iPhone/iPod touch as well, is completely free to download and gives you the first seven pages of this week's Athletics Weekly completely FREE! Then, for a modest £3.99 you can acces...

I have to say that I found the coverage quite unwatchable on Saturday and Sunday - every so often my very expensive business broadband would completely freeze up, and it seemed to be much worse during the distance races. So I had the worst of both worlds, I had to put up with Connie during the field...

Jenny Meadows won her 800m heat in 2:00.39 - she led all the way and is the fastest qualifier. Got two days rest until the final.

Oleg, all feedback is appreciated, good and bad. However, I do appreciate at this time of year AW features a lot of cross-country and very little javelin.

Pretty sure this is due to not one but two cheques going astray in the post - a most unfortunate situation. We'll do a bank transfer for you tomorrow if you let us know your bank details under separate cover.

Congratulations to Jean Pickering MBE

Rex68, maybe you might like to become one of our freelance contributors?

How can one choose? From a British perspective, it has to be Adlington's double gold at just 19, from a world perspective I have no idea how Phelps managed to touch first from being a couple of feet behind with a stroke to go to equal Spitz's record, and from an athletics perpective I gasped in awe ...

Looks like Helen missed out by one place. Barbara Parker 9:50 ish...

We are all watching Eurosport!

I can confirm that it is with regret that, after eight years and 40 issues, we have decided to cease publication of The Coach. This has been a difficult decision to take but comes after 18 months of negotiations with a potential major sponsor recently fell through. We have decided therefore to focus...
