A weekly online program, Athletics Chat records the discussions of two journalists, Stuart Weir, European senior editor of RBR, located in Oxford, England, the intellectual, golf, and beer capital of the world. The other journalist, Larry Eder, can be found in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, San Jose, California, or, this week, Central Point, Oregon.
The goal? In our discussions, we attempt to offer thoughtful approaches to the challenges, as we see them, in the sport of athletics.
