| Four
athletes left for the 'Jackpot' |
| After
five of the seven 'Golden League'-meetings only 4 athletes are
still in contention for winning the "jackpot, consisting of
50kg gold. The 4 are: |
| •
Marion JONES (100m) |
| •
Ana GUEVARA (400m) |
| •
Hicham EL GUERROUJ (1500m) |
| •
Felix SANCHEZ (400m hurdles) |
| |
| in
a "Beetle |
| As
last year spectators of the Van Damme meeting can win a “Beetle”
thanks to sponsor Volkswagen. If Maria Mutola beats the world
record of the 1.000m and if a spectator can guess the correct
time (till 1/100th of a second) of the new world record, he
will get a brand new "Beetle. |
| Therefore
the spectators will have tot send their guess by GSM (n° 3125)
before 21.15h. If there is a tie the car will go the spectator
who send his guess earlier. |
| |
| Non
smoking meeting |
| The
organisers of the Van Damme want to make their 26th edition
a 'non smoking'-meeting. This will not only profit the athletes,
but also the spectators who don't want to be smoked by their
neighbour(s). |
| |
| That's
why the organisers ask the spectators not to smoke in the stadium
except at the points where drinks can be consumend. Thanks in
advance! |
