2013 ISBN 9781907524370
Description
August 4 2012 became a golden night for British athletes as in the London Olympic stadium, Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford all won gold medals. But none of the trio grace the cover page of Athletics 2013. That honour goes to Kenyan David Rudisha. The book is the International Track and Field Annual and the editor, and other experts, considered Rudisha's 800 metres victory to be the performance of the Games. His time of 1 min 40.91 sec was described by Games supremo Sebastian Coe as "one of the greatest Olympic victories". Lord Coe, of course, know a thing or two about that, being the only man to have successfully defended the Olympic 1500 metres title. He also knows about 800 metres running, having held the world record for 16 years from 1981.

Description
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, with her victories in the 100m, 200m and the 4x100m relay at the Moscow World Championships was undoubtedly the woman athlete of 2013. No other woman has ever achieved that treble. As such she is the obvious cover girl of the 2014 International Athletics Annual. The year before at the London Olympics she was forced to settle for gold in the 100m but runners-up sports in the other two races as the USA's Allyson Felix took the 200m and the USA won the relay. In Moscow Fraser-Pryce made no mistake lighting up the Luzhniki stadium with her mega-watt smile and extravagant hair style, a high speed advert for the salon she owns at home in Jamaica. As usual the annual is packed full of essential information for the track and field enthusiast, with results from all major championships as well as reports of the World Championships and a look forward to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the European Championships.

As usual the annual is packed full of essential information for the track and field enthusiast, with results from all major championships as well as reports of the World Championships and a look forward to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the European Championships.
