NORWICH UNION INTERNATIONAL ATHLETICS
Scotstoun Stadium, Glasgow, Sun 5 Jun
The United States and Russia haven’t been the best of friends of late, what with aspersions being cast over the state of Russian democracy as they celebrated the anniversary of VE Day. That underlying tension can only add extra spice to this international athletics match, in which the two powers lock horns in a three-way competition with Great Britain. Top athletes from each nation will compete in a battle for points, with team, rather than
individual, glory at stake.
Also generating excitement will be the appearance of Dame Kelly Holmes, competing in the 1500m. She ended fevered speculation by announcing that she will retire from the track at the end of this season, and this will be the last chance to see her run in Scotland. Kelvin Hall was the scene of a mini-track invasion when Holmes last raced in Glasgow and she admits the level of support she’s received has been overwhelming. Expect no different here, as she aims to bid us farewell with a winning
performance.
The full line-up has yet to be announced, but former Olympic American champion Maurice Greene has been confirmed for the 100m. Despite only managing to bring his team home second, behind the British quartet in the 4x100m relay in Athens, he isn’t concerned. ‘It will be good to run against Britain’s best sprinters, who are very talented but still have a lot to prove in the individual event,’ he says. We’ll see how the Brits respond to that. Or maybe this time the Russians will have the final word. (Chris Bradley)
