World Youths Donetsk 10/7

ecoli · 09-07-2013 10:30am #1

Third party discussion of under age athletes is banned in order to avoid criticism of young athletes on a public forum or placing too much pressure on their shoulders. Discussion of major underage events (e.g. EYOF, World Juniors, etc) will be permitted but anything that the Moderator feels is inappropriate ["Joe Bloggs is crap and has no future in the sport" or "Josephine Bloggs will be a big dissapointment if she's not an Olympic Medallist in the future!!!"] may be removed". If you notice someone discussing underaged athletes, please use the report button to bring it to the moderator's attention.

6 of the 8 in field events. That's encouraging. Best of luck to them.

Hard to keep up with all these major champs on during the next 2 weeks.
