She was competing at the IAAF Combined Events Challenge in Italy earlier this month when she broke down in the 200m and said she knew right away the injury was serious enough to end her dream of challenging in London.

“I’ve had an injury-plagued back for eight years and had prolapsed discus in 2010 and it was a 50-50 risk going into this year,” Sotherton explained. “I didn’t know if I was going to make the Olympics and I was halfway through a heptathlon three weeks ago and my prolapsed disc got worse, hit a nerve, I could hardly walk and my leg was terrible. It was dreadfully painful.”

Athletics: Indian athletes prohibits changed for Olympics

Filed under: online sporting goods,sports equipment suppliers,sports equipments,sports gears,sports goods,track field gears — Tags: Athletic Accessories, Athletic Events, athletic gear, Discus Throwing, Field And Gear Accessories, hurdles, kettlebells, Plyometric Cones, shot put, Sports Gear Articles, starting blocks, Training Accessories, Weight Lifting Equipments — tracknfield @ 4:08 am

AN INDIAN anti-doping board has distorted the start dates of one-year bans on four women 400 meter runners, making them eligible for the London Olympics. Ashwini Akkunji and Sini Jose, members of relay quartets that won gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, were among six athletes banned from the time of their temporary suspensions last July.

However, the board ruled that four of them – Akkunji, Jose, Priyanka Panwar and Tiana Mary Thomas deserved clemency as they did not take banned steroids deliberately. Since the bans have to be for at least one year owing to World Anti-Doping Agency rules, the start date was distorted to when the urine samples were collected last June. The deadline for sending Olympic entries is 3 July.

The four athletes have appealed against the bans to the Indian anti-doping agency, blaming a coach who allegedly gave them food complements but WADA has demanded that their bans be increased to two years as it feels the athletes themselves should be held responsible for the occurrence of banned substances in their bodies.

The other two 400-metre runners who were also banned were Mandeep Kaur and Jauna Murmu. They all tested positive for one or more of three banned steroids, Methandienone, epimethandiol and stanozolol. Meanwhile, Spanish police have held ten people supposed to be part of a worldwide doping network involving professional cycling and athletics.

A criminal network that provided performance-enhancing drugs to Athletic Events who tested positive at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2010 Spanish Vuelta, among other competitions, was dismantled according to a declaration by Catalan regional police Mossos d’Esquadra, who were working alongside the national force.

Beltran, who lives in Bahrain, also beforehand worked cycling team Xacobeo-Galicia and has been in jail since trying to board a flight from Madrid to Colombia on March 5. Cesar Perez, the former trainer of world steeplechase champion Marta Dominguez, who was detained in December 2010′s Operation Galgo, was also reported to have been detained.

Egbunike to Guide Nigerian Team for 2012 Olympics

Filed under: online sporting goods,sports equipment suppliers,sports equipments,sports gears,sports goods — tracknfield @ 4:16 am

With hardly 200 days to the 2012 Olympics in London, the National Sports Commission Wednesday tapered Los Angeles Olympic bronze medallist, Innocent Egbunike as head coach of Team Nigeriaâ€™s track and field squad to the summer games. Egbunike, who is not new to how sports is managed in the country, having played important role in making possible the 4x400m relay gold medal Nigeria won at the Sydney Games in 2000, is offering to give his best in the task ahead.

At a brief observance inside the boardroom of the Nigeria Olympic Committee, Supervising Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi said that there was unmoving time for the former African and Commonwealth quarter mile champion to salvage some for the country at the Games. â€œYes 200 days to the Olympic but it is better we do something now than nothing at all,â€ observed the Minister in apparent reference to those who believe that time was too short for Egbunike to make any shock with Team Nigeria.

Mallam Abdullahi agreed that it is not proper to begin training at this time when others are putting final touches to their preparations. â€œIf we cannot have a 10-year plan, we can at least have a four-year plan that will lead to the Olympics. After this London Games, we will seat down with the coach, and decide what to do for the future. We cannot carry on like this,â€ observed Mallam Abdullahi, who is the substantive minister of youth development.

But Egbunike believes that a wonder is still possible with the Nigerian team in London. â€œI am happy with this meeting to be a part of Nigeriaâ€™s track and field team to the London games. I know that most countries started their training a day after the last Games in Beijing four years ago, this country of 150million people is plentifully blessed and we can see what we can do to make the country proud. With God, anything is possible.â€

Clitheroe aims Aviva Series starts on January 28

Filed under: athletic gear,athletic goods,Athletic store,online sporting goods,sports equipment suppliers,sports equipments — tracknfield @ 1:32 am

Reigning European 3000m indoor champion Helen Clitheroe will look to build on fantastic 2011 by beginning her Olympic year in style at the Aviva International Match in Glasgow on 28 January. 38 year old Clitheroe provided one of the highlights of the meet in 2011. When she stormed to success over 3000m in a time of 8:52.31 to eclipse Liz McColganâ€™s 22-year stadium record at Kelvin Hall.

The former 1500m and steeplechase athlete, who has recorded a total of four individual best performances at the Aviva International Match, went on to claim a memorable gold medal in the same event at the European Indoor Championships in Paris in March.

Now aiming for a hat trick of wins at Kelvin Hall following her victories in 2010 and 2011, Clitheroe will be looking for a strong start to 2012.

When she again takes on the 3000m in what could prove a career-defining year in the track and field. Just three weeks after her form in Glasgow Clitheroe will test herself against a world class field at the Aviva Grand Prix in Birmingham, where she will contest the 3000m in front of an expected capacity crowd at the NIA on 18 February.

Clitheroe said: â€œThis year is a significant one for me I had some real highs in 2011, which were absolutely fantastic. â€œMy race in Paris caused a bit of a stir back home and I couldnâ€™t believe the attention I received. But it was all welcomed and itâ€™s really incredible to know that youâ€™ve got a lot of support, that people know you when you step out on the track and give you that extra cheer you need. â€œI went away to Kenya in November and will be heading back out there straight after Christmas. Itâ€™s really good to get away and get my head into some training.

I think of the Aviva Grand Prix as a rehearsal for the indoor championships, the very best athletes in the world battle in Birmingham and itâ€™s amazing to have the chance to race in meets like that in the run-up to major championships. â€œGlasgow is just a brilliant event, the crowd is always really into athletics and this is the last time that weâ€™ll be challenging at Kelvin Hall so that will be really special too.Â

The venue has such a sturdy heritage and it really is a freedom to race there.â€ Clitheroe, who made her Olympic debut in Sydney back in 2000, will use the coming Aviva Series as a critical step in preparing for her third Olympic battle.

Athletics: John Komen breaks La Rochelle record

Filed under: Athletic store,athletics shop,online spoting goods,sports equipment suppliers,sports equipments — tracknfield @ 6:53 am

La Rochelle, France – Kenyan John Komen ran 2:07:13 to break the race record of Marathon de La Rochelle Serge Vigot on Sunday, while Ethiopian Ture Chatu won the womenâ€™s race in 2:36:04. The weather was cool and hazy on the old Port of La Rochelle at the start of the 21st edition of the Marathon. The race opened on a faster basis than had been planned, as the Kenyan pacemakers Eliud Kiplagat Barngetury and Samwel Maswai were timed at 5km in 15:12, instead of probable 15:25.

Behind them were four of their associate countrymen: John Komen, the fastest of the field with a 2:08:06 performance set three years ago, Nahashon Kimaiyo who placed 3rd last year, as well as outsiders Daniel Limo and Peter Kwalia, who ran in 2009 respectively 2:10:54 and 2:12:07. Also integrated in this pack was the Ethiopian Feyisa Woldemikael, debutant at the Marathon with a 62:27 to his credit for the Half Marathon.

Kwalia was the first to be dropped even though the pace remained stable in the significant city centre, while a light drizzle occurred. 10km was making in 30:22, and no change in the group occurred through 15km (45:53) and the Half Marathon (64:43). It was then clear that the race record of 2:09:44 was in danger, as the best passed the halfway point in 1:04:43, about one minute faster than record holder Ethiopian Haile Haja in 2009.

The second pacemaker stopped at 28km, after having passed the 25km in 1:16:16. Just before 30km (1:31:20), Kimayo was dropped, and a few minutes later it was Woldemikaelâ€™s turn to fade. The two remaining runners, Komen and Limo, kept side by side for a couple of metres before Komen insert a speeding up to get a rid of his rival. The leader was now only fighting against the clock (1:45:47 at 35km). Limo placed second in 2:08:38 while Kimayo passed Woldemikael to take third place in 2:10:43.

The womenâ€™s race was highlighted by the runs of three Ethiopians. Wayinshet Abebe Hailu (2:42:57 in 2009) led Ture Chatu (2:38:41 last season) and Marathon debutante Zerfe Boku. The trio divided early from the rest of the field and remained together until the 24th kilometer, after having passed the half-way in 1:16:44. Hailu dropped back and ultimately finished third in 2:38:39. Chatu emerged as the winner in the last couple of kilometer and shattered her personal best with 2:36:04, still far from the race record of Goitetom Haftu (2:28:24). Boku took the second place in 2:36:48.
