The IAAF Communications Department gets it. The new website, the new fan’s group and the enthusiasm of their staff gives track fans invaluable information on our sport. The Doha DL is a case in point. Just below my deep thought (not deep thoughts, as that would require complete use of my brain at this time, which is somewhere over Budapest, I believe), the IAAF has provided a dozen excellent links to stories, previews and resources to help you enjoy the sport!
