t-and-f: Chinese National Games
Hello, My site http://www.tilastopaja.net now includes full results of the 9th National Games Marathon (Beijing International Marathon) and a short translation of an article about coach Ma Junren in todays People's Daily. Ma-article is at: http://www.tilastopaja.net/asia/ma.htm results are at: http://www.tilastopaja.net/ng2001/mar.html I will also publish full results of the track events, held 17-23 November, updated as quickly as possible. If you are interested what the quick marathon runners did before, please click the results link above, there is a link to the each athletes database page showing all possible results for that person. As last thing: if you or your paper/magazine want to publish these results elsewhere, please tell me about it. I am not asking for money, but please state that these results were published by http://www.tilastopaja.net. Kind regards, Mirko Jalava Tilastopaja Oy
t-and-f: Chinese National Games
Yuk!!! I was about half-way through doing my annual summary of national depth in top 100 rankings for each event, when I realized results of the Chinese National Games yet were to be recorded. I've just finished a quick look at how many changes those might require and whether the damage could be repaired without starting over. One dismal example: Before the CNG, China had two athletes in the top 100 of the women's 1500m. Their top nine in the CNG bettered the previous 100th-place time of 4:13.19. So far, I haven't found changes of that magnitude in any of the men's events, although I note they'll have several additions in the long jump. I've been using the event summaries from Mirko Jalava's website, http://www.tilastopaja.net You'll find the CNG results in his "Free Statistics" section, without having to go through the membership sign-in. Cheers, Roger
