Helsinki 0 Los Angeles 104 Rome 20 Seoul 85 Tokyo 0 Barcelona 0 Stuttgart 245 Goeteborg 31 Atlanta 302 Athens 138 Seville 21 Sydney 42 Edmonton 667 In case your wondering those are the sites and altitudes (in meters) of the last 11 world championships/Olympics and this years edition of the world championships. It would seem that if the weather holds up (read is warm enough), that it might be an excellent place for a number of sprinters to get a PR. Edmonton is higher that any site that regularly holds a major meet by a couple hundred meters or so. This is not necessarily meant to start another long discussion of the affects of altitude. I am however working on some research I started about 15 years ago, and am just now getting going on again, on the affects of altitude on sprinters. This is an invitation for anyone who has seen or commented on the previous work and/or would be interesting in seeing/commenting on or otherwise helping with the current round of research to please contact me directly. Also if anyone knows for a fact that any of the thirteen altitudes I have listed are off by more that 25 meters or so please let me know. David Donley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
