Okay sports fans! The Copernicus Cup is just about here. The stands are filling up! And the Euro beat music is waking me up, along with the strong instant coffee. I am sitting with the IAAF team, Bob Ramsak, Michelle Sammet, Tom Byrne, and Ed Gordon, the editor of the TAFWA Indoor guide. We have great seats above the entire track, and it should be a fun, if fast meet.
The track is the same as Sopot, Poland, when they hosted the World Indoor Championships in 2014. The City of Torun purchased track, and after taking it apart a few times, it became permanent, and is used Jan-March. The facility seats 5,000 and this will be sold out! Big draws
