A very interesting story. The tragic concusion was the death of Komar and,
I think, Tadeusz Slusarski in a car accident about two years ago. I wonder
were they palying slalom again? Bronislaw Malinowki was also killed in a
car accident. They were all olympic champions
No disrespect to Korzienowski, but why he? Ian Thorpe had a great year,
too. Why not he? Because swimming and walking are not track and field.

Oh no, not again! I really thought the exchanges of a month or so ago
had at least established the consensus that walking IS part of track and
field, even though it is not (wholly) on the track and certainly not on
the field, but simply because its events are part of TF at Olympic Games,

Hi,
I don't want to get into who deserved the award but the international
amateur athletic federation (IAAF) considers walking as track and field.
Do we eliminate indoor "field events" from track and field because they
don't take place on a field?
Regards
Mike

Hi,
I simply stated that walking is track and field as defined by the track and
field governing body. If walking is not considered track and field for the
reason that it doesn't always take place on the track, then so should the
"field" events that don't always take place on a field.
I agree

sometime run legs on the 4x400m relay. I

There is no need to be shocked by the AOY.
This selection has furthered diminished the validity of the award. Jan had a wonderful year but what set him apart? You can go through the list and find numerous men that had comparable years in their respective events. This selection, and order is a

I think that it would actually help most of them.
It's pretty hard to hurt a distance runner with a 400m. (Unless they do
no speed work in practice).

I regularly run my distance runners on the 4 x 400, even on "B" or "C" teams
when necessary. It has helped them considerably. And invariably, they enjoy
it a lot. And that helps, too.
