MESSAGE FROM ATHLETICS AUSTRALIA
Athletics in Australia has been reinvigorated over the past two years.
We have seen the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Goodwill Games and the IAAF Grand Prix Final - all on our
shores over the past two years. The interest built from the professional and successful organisation of these events
has ignited the sport in Australia.
In 2002 the fruits of this success will flow into an exciting new series showcasing Australia's top performers as they
vie for Commonwealth Games selection and ultimately glory.
Athletics will remain in its purest essence, but what you will see is a new package of events, a developing
contingent of new-age athletes and a drive to grow the sport out-of-stadium.
There is a new set of heroes in world champion Dmitri Markov, world championships medallist Bronwyn Eagles,
walks star Nathan Deakes and young guns Georgie Clarke, Craig Mottram and Jana Pittman joining the household
names of Cathy Freeman, Louise Sauvage, Tatiana Grigorieva and Matt Shirvington.
To harness this talent and public interest, Athletics Australia through the support of principal sponsor Telstra,
support sponsors New Balance, IGA, Accor, Qantas and partners the Australian Sports Commission, Australian
Commonwealth Games Association, Australian Olympic Committee and Australian Paralympic Committee presents
the following new programs in 2002:
• Telstra A-Series - replacing the Telstra Athletics Grand Prix, this represents the biggest change in domestic
competition for many years with more entertainment, tighter schedules and better competition.
• IGA Play Athletics - Athletics Australia's junior development program including Team Athletics for primary
school children.
• Running Australia - a tiered structure of Australia's major Out of Stadium running events.
With a vision of success at the Commonwealth Games, IPC World Championships and World Junior
Championships, Australia's athletes will be hungry to excel in the Telstra A-Series and Telstra A-Championships.
At the grass roots level, the sport is committed to promoting the important life skills of running, walking, jumping
and throwing in schools right through to events for the everyday jogger and person seeking a healthy lifestyle.
As your support of athletics is valued highly, we hope you enjoy the year ahead and the programs that Athletics
Australia is delivering.
Andrew Forrest
Chairman

This important series promises to delight and inspire our sports loving nation, with the performances of our
