The Norwegian Athletics Coaches Association is organising the 24th annual Athletics Coaches Seminar in Oslo from 7-9 November 2015.

The Golden Track awards in Lausanne on Saturday will honour the European male and female Athletes of the Year and Rising Stars.

When the European Female Athlete of the Year is named in Lausanne on Saturday, will Dafne Schippers keep hold of her crown?

Living in a medium size city in central France in the mid-1970s and running for the local club, I would trot down to the stadium as a warm-up and pass colleagues walking there in their tracksuits.

Welcome to the “European Athletics Golden Tracks” ceremony for the awards given annually to the men’s and women’s European Athletes of the Year and Rising Stars.

It is one of the biggest weeks of the year for European Athletics with our Golden Tracks awards night in Lausanne on Saturday when we honour the European male and female Athletes of the Year and Rising Stars.
