The manxathletics.com forum

Welcome to the manxathletics.com forum.  Please share information and your views on the sport in the Isle of Man with others. 

The forum has been operating in its present form since April 2004 and I particularly welcome comments from new contributors, whether you live on or off the Isle of Man, if you have an interest in Manx athletics.

Many people have used the forum to give thanks to the officials or their own supporters when they have enjoyed an event. Contrustive criticism is always welcome as an additional means of communication, although it is not intended to replace formal communication between clubs and other bodies and their members.

If you are unable to find information about an event on any of the Manx websites, then the forum is the best place to ask for help from other people. Whilst you can email me at murray@manxathletics.com  and I will do my best to point you in the right direction, the people who have the answer to your question are likely to visit the forum so it is better that you ask it here. manxathletics.com is an independent site and I do not hold office within any of the five Manx clubs.

There are a few rules. Firstly, you should always use your real name as, apart from making people accountable for what they say, one of the objectives of the website is to make the sport friendly and appealing so please do not hide behind a nickname (anonymous entries will be deleted). Secondly, (it should go without saying) you must not insult or offend anyone. Thirdly, pesistent abuse of rules 1 and 2 will result in the forum being withdrawn.

Thanks for being sensible and I hope you continue to enjoy the forum and the sport.

Murray Lambden

Re: Good Luck to Gemma & Tom

News on Tom's 800m. A really tough first heat. The runners were started twice before the race got underway. First 200m fast in 27 secs, Tom in the leading pack through bell (leader around 55.5, Tom 56.xx). Tom was spiked by England's athlete Niall in first 200m, though not too badly.

From 350m to go, the leaders found an extra gear, opening a gap between Tom of a few metres which grew to the end of the race.

Tom recorded a time of 2.00.36, the top three all breaking 1.53 in his heat.

Whilst Tom is disappointed with his race, he gave it his all and looked good in the first lap getting stuck in. Also it has been a long and succesful season for him, and we're now in mid-Oct!

Gemma's in action later will report then.
