STREAMLINED BRITISH TEAM ANNOUNCED FOR BUDAPEST – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
UK Athletics Technical Director STEPHEN MAGUIRE says he has “no issues” with the streamlined Great Britain and Ireland team which has been selected to compete at next month’s World Athletics Championships in Budapest. A total of 51 athletes have met what many feel to have been a particularly strict criteria, with some additions to be made next week when World Athletics send out their invitations based on rankings. The sport’s governing body in Britain will not be accepting all of those invitations, however, as they follow a selection policy which is based on an athlete’s ability to hit a certain standard, prove their form, then challenge for the top eight of an event or to be in medal contention at world level. A number of athletes who are due to receive invitations have spoken out in recent days with dismay that they will not be given the chance to compete, with some even threatening legal action or even suggesting they would self-fund their way to Hungary.
MAGUIRE insists, however, that taking a smaller team – 77 went to last year’s championships in Oregon – matches the “clarity” of criteria which was announced some months ago. “I have no issues with that at all when it comes down to the clarity of what we’re trying to do,” he said of the team size. “It’s about the ability to make a final and the ability to challenge for a medal. There are standards we have set in place, and form is a big one, so I’m happy with the squad. The crossbar has been raised and I think it’s a nice, strong squad. “There’s an awareness of the policy there. I think it is fair for me to recognise that athletes will be hurt because they haven’t made standards and they’ll see it as tough standards. The world and Olympic standards are tough. [But] I think our policy is really clear.”
HOW TO THROW THE DISCUS – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently. Photographsof SANDRA PERKOVIC taken by MARK SHEARMAN.
Double Olympic and world champion SANDRA PERKOVIC explains the intricacies of one of the oldest athletics disciplines. First of all, the rules. Athletes throw a metal disc weighing 2kg for men (22cm in diameter) and 1kg (18cm in diameter) for women, as far as possible while remaining inside a 2.5-metre diameter circle. In order for the throw to be measured, the discus must land inside a marked sector and the athlete must not leave the circle before it has landed. The athlete must also only leave from the rear half of the circle.
How did you start – I started doing athletics when I was about eight years old but was also playing basketball and volleyball. What I liked about athletics is that it is an individual sport – it was up to you if you succeeded, it did not depend on how your team-mates played. Five years later I was in a multi-event and it came down to the last event between two of us, throwing a ball. The other girl threw 42m and I threw 58m. That was the moment I decided I wanted to be a thrower. I tried hammer and shot but, the first time I picked up a discus, I knew that was my event.
How do you throw a discus – First, clean any dirt off it, step into the circle, focus on your technique. There are different throwing techniques. Everyone takes the one that is best for them and the one they can control. Throwers typically take one-and-a-half spins before releasing the discus. I have built and refined my technique over the years. Each athlete needs to choose the technique that fits their abilities – whether they are fast, technically strong, powerful etc. With experience, as you release the discus from the hand, you know how good the throw is.
How important is the size of a person – Traditionally discus throwers are tall because being taller often means longer arms which generate more power. But now, with different techniques – reverse or not [reverse means a right-handed thrower would deliver the discus with the left foot forward and the right foot back and vice versa] – size is less important. I remember ROBERT FAZEKAS, the Hungarian discus thrower, who won gold in the 2002 European Championships and silver in the 2003 world championships. He was short but still threw over 70m. Men’s world champion] KRISTJAN CEH is very tall but also compact. Some tall people look a bit dislocated but CEH is tall and normal. On the other hand, Cuba has great discus throwers but they are not so tall. Tall is good but it is not the only thing.
How do you generate power – It is a combination of strength, technique and power but every athlete will have their own speciality. Some are fast, others are slower but stronger – some are technically very good. Some athletes look slow but if you try to copy their technique it is actually very fast! You need speed, technique, strength and add height. You need to combine them to the maximum to get the best individual throw.
How do you produce consistency – The most important thing is to really enjoy it. It is my job but it feels like a hobby. I sometimes say that I smile when I throw and, when I stop smiling, I will know it is time to stop. You have to work hard and also avoid being injured. To be number one and stay number one you are walking on the edge. Your whole life needs to be professional – eating right, including vitamins, taking time for recovery. I have also found that visualisations help. You also need to keep refreshing your training because, if you do the same thing for 12 years, you will get sick of it!
Coaching – It is also important to have a coach who understands you and that you have good and bad days. Some days you want to go to the moon, other days you don’t want to get out of bed! At this stage of my career it is important to have a coach who knows me and understands me and knows how to make me better. I am always pushing and always wanting more. The coach needs to help me get the balance and to know when to push me and when to stop me. I need to trust his judgment and believe him if he says something is good, even if I don’t think it is. The coach needs to control the athlete and to keep finding ways of helping the athlete achieve what they are trying to achieve.
Keep learning – We have a saying in Croatia: “You think you know everything but you still die stupid!” You might think your technique is very good but every day is an opportunity to improve it. Nothing is perfect so you need to push yourself every day to find improvements. You need to motivate yourself, push yourself and believe in yourself
Success – It is less about beating an opponent than about performing to a level that I am satisfied with. I give maximum effort and I want the maximum to be returned.
The best moment – The best adrenalin rush is when you have one throw left – to win – or qualify for the final. You have one chance and have to find the big throw. Money can buy you many things but not moments like that.
Strategy – All you need to win a discus competition is two throws – one to get into the final and one to win. You need to be able to manage the situation and produce the throw you are capable of when you need it. At a championship, ideally you want to qualify for the final with your first throw and not waste energy.
What causes fouls – Sometimes fouls happen just because the circle is a bit slippery or because you are rushing your technique. At the Rio Olympics, I won the gold medal but had five fouls and only one legal throw. I was so ready for that competition. The year had gone so well and I was throwing further than I expected to but in Rio I couldn’t control it. That day I was too powerful. I needed my arms to be longer!
Training – I am working on technique every day. Strength work is done mainly in winter and pre-season because you need time for recovery. During the season you are fitting training into travel and competition but you could say that I am doing a little bit of work on all aspects every week of the year.
Are you always giving 100 per cent effort – My main motivation is to satisfy myself and be proud of myself so I find it hard not to give 100 per cent, even if I am way ahead of second place. The only exception is if the qualifying distance is such that you can achieve it with a safe throw. I have found that, if I over-think it, that is not good. It is better for me just to throw and do my job. There are times when it is different because of where you are in the season or if you don’t want to take a risk close to the Olympics or World Championships. In the Rio Olympics, I had started with two fouls so, on that third throw I could not risk giving 100 per cent, as I needed a legal throw to make the final.
THE WORLD 80M RECORD THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently. Photographs of JARMILA KRATOCHVILOVA taken by MARK SHEARMAN.
JARMILA KRATOCHVILOVAS 800m mark of (1:53.28) was set 40 years ago, but rather than being celebrated it is mired in controversy. On July 26 in 1983, JARMILA KRATOCHVILOVA arrived at the Olympiapark Meeting in Munich’s Olympic Stadium as a 400m specialist with intentions of testing her speed over 200m. After a touch of cramp, though, she decided to switch to running the 800m. Her subsequent time of 1:53.28 sent shockwaves through the sport and now, 40 years later, it remains the oldest outdoor world record in the book. The performance persuaded the Czech athlete to attempt an audacious 400m and 800m double at the inaugural World Championships in Helsinki the following month. Such was her form, she pulled it off, with 800m victory in (1:54.68) followed by a 400m world record of (47.99), although the latter was beaten two years later by her great rival, MARITA KOCH of East Germany, who ran a time of (47.60) in Australia which still stands as the fastest mark in history. Both records are considered virtually untouchable. Some have described the marks as “toxic” with accusations of doping. Whereas the state-organised programme of East Germany is well documented, the situation is not as clear in the former Czechoslovakia, however, although there is evidence that a “specialized care” system existed for athletes, with doping likely.
KRATOCHVILOVA, who is now 72, has always denied knowingly taking drugs. Instead, herself and her coach, MIROSLAV KVAC, insisted the performances were down lots of physical work during her upbringing on a farm, huge amounts of weight training and large amounts of vitamin B12. When there have been suggestions in the past to scrap these old world records, KRATOCHVILOVA has reacted angrily. “Complete nonsense,” she said in 2017. “I have never taken banned substances.” Reacting to criticism of her muscled physique, she added: “When you work as hard as I did, you have to sacrifice some of your looks. The women of the West don’t work as hard as I did.” According to reports at the time, KRATOCHVILOVA was so motivated that she trained at 4am and refused to have an afternoon rest. There are stories of her sprinting in spikes on a frozen pond when her local cinder track was covered in snow in the winter and, when once recovering from Achilles surgery, KRATOCHVILOVA ran repetitions through a foot of water in a pool wearing a weighted vest and put a gas mask on to restrict her breathing.
During her career she broke 24 Czech records from 100m to 800m. In her early years she focused on shorter sprints but won 400m silver at the 1980 Moscow Olympics and 1982 European Championships in Athens behind KOCH. The 800m world record that she broke in 1983 was held by NADEZHDA OLIZARENKO, who ran (1:53.43) to win gold for the host nation at the 1980 Olympics. While our eyes are drawn to KRATOCHVILOVAS enduring performance, incidentally, it’s worth remembering that the Czech athlete only improved the Soviet runner’s record by 15 hundredths of a second and yet OLIZARENKO is a largely forgotten figure due to her mark only lasting three years. In the run-up to the World Championships in Helsinki in 1983, it was known that KOCH was focusing on shorter sprints and relays. This also influenced KRATOCHVILOVAS plan to tackle the 400m and 800m double and in the Finnish capital the 32-year-old Czech negotiated a tough schedule to claim two golds.
Trickiest of all was Tuesday August 9 when she won her 400m semi-final in (51.08) and the 800m final in (1:54.68) just 35 minutes later, although AW’s coverage at the time suggests there was as little as 24 minutes between her leaving the track after the 400m and returning for the 800m. Then, the following day, she passed 200m in (23.2) before clocking (47.99) in the 400m final to beat KOCH’S world record of (48.16). The next year KRATOCHVILOVA missed the Olympics due to the Eastern Bloc boycott of the LA Games. She battled on for another three years but retired after finishing fifth in the world 800m final in 1987. “It’s a definitely a record a lot of people have suspected,” said British record-holder KEELY HODGKINSON when asked about KRATOCHVILOVAS recently. “It’s a very remarkable record. Whether it will be broken in my lifetime, I don’t know. I’m still two-and-a-half seconds away from that. “In our sport it’s medals that can’t be taken away so they’re the main priority. If anyone was to get close to it such as myself or anyone else, it would be quite an amazing feat.” If there is hope it will one day fall, though, then consider this. KRATOCHVILOVAS also held the world indoor 400m record with (49.59) for 41 years but FEMKE BOL of the Netherlands improved it to (49.26) earlier this year.

PHOTOGRAPH’S – From time to time we have photographs of our members taken at meetings or presentations which we would like to use both on the website or incorporated within our report to our local newspaper. Can you please let me know if you do NOT want your photograph to be published. Also, I would appreciate if you could send me any photographs, which I can then publish on the website and newsletter.
FACEBOOK – Photographs can be found on the SBH page.
CAN YOU HELP PLEASE– I would welcome any contributions From Yourselves, any impending marriages, or additions to the family, any running or competing incidents, also past warm weather training/holidays (No Club 24 please). Currently the response has been excellent, but if you have anything that could make it into next week’s Newsletter – please email me.
CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF SHAFTESBURY INFORMATION – Currently I notify members (by email) using “MailChimp”. The reason I changed, was in November 2017 “Gmail” put a limit of 100 addresses that users could send to in a 24-hour period, and currently I send to approximately 850 members each issue.
On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward. There is one thing you should be aware off is that when you receive an email from me, the footer at the bottom has 4 options, of which one is “Unsubscribe Me From List”. Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.
