Golden League series
PARIS, May 30: Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco and American sprinter Marion Jones will contest all seven of this season’s Golden League meetings, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) announced Thursday.
Winners of the Golden League series can eventually pick up 50kg of gold - an objective that El Guerrouj may boost with his plan to attack the world records for the mile at the opening Bislett Games meeting in Oslo on 28 June, and the 1500m the following Friday at the Stade de France.
Golden League schedule:
June 28: Oslo
July 5: Saint-Denis
July 12: Rome
July 19: Monaco
Aug 16: Zurich
Aug 30: Brussels
Sept 6: Berlin
NB: Athletes must compete in the Grand Prix Final (Paris, Sept 14) to claim a share of the Jackpot.—AFP
