New Zealand is NOT immune to COVID-19, but is managing to stay POSITIVE that we will overcome this plague - albeit at the loss of major sports events!

I'm very fortunate to have knowledgeable information sources in a host of countries. They, like me, are very enthusiastic about showcasing the exploits of the world's under 20s in track & field (indoors and out), road running, race walking, cross-country and mountain running.

We all applaud when a junior athlete achieves at the very highest level, as was the case with Keshorn Walcott's unexpected win in the 2012 Olympic Games Javelin. I had been privileged to see him win World Junior Champs gold in Barcelona a month earlier, then sat spellbound as he repeated the feat in my old home town, London!

Having this well-designed website*, I'm now experiencing a steady flow of visitors, all of them with an ongoing interest in our great sport of Athletics.

After time overseas (March-November 2012), making contact with old clients and new ones, I set up this new site*, transitioning from Lionel Peter's website, wjan-online.co.uk (I had compiled its content for 12 years until late 2011). Lionel's health was deteriorating, and he died in July 2013 (see obituary under "More News").
