Hurdles in Portland, photo by PhotoRun.net
The World Indoor Champs, March 17-20, held in Portland, were fantastic. For a World Indoor champs in an Olympic year, the fields were quite good. A nice combination of new and veteran. The crowd was enthusiastic and the US team was rewarded with many medals.
After the last session, on the last day, I turned on my micro recorder and opined on the World champs, the facility and the top performances.
I hope you enjoy it.
