In the middle of November, I received the following postcard from our roving
athletics troubadour, Bob Ramsak:
Olympic shot put champion Tomasz Majewski with Fernando Botero’s ‘Adam’, Casino Gardens, Monte Carlo, Monaco.
Bob Ramsak has been, for five or six years now, your conduit to global athletics for our publications in North America. Bob, when he is not traveling, lives in Slovenia, and it is obvious that he loves our sport, as his site Trackprofile.com attests.
Bob spends most of his time covering events and athletes for the IAAF website and publications. We are grateful for his support and his sense of humor on the road. We have had some fun as we take a few minutes to breathe at the various events.
Bob is an example of the people involved in our sport who work very hard to give you insights into our sport….Thanks Bob!
