Eurovets do results right: Sophisticated website makes search easy
I’m not sure how fast marks are being posted, but the web portal in Gent, Belgium, for the five-day European Masters Indoor Championships looks very efficient and comprehensive. One hopes their timing systems are better than America’s. See results here. You can look at any day’s events, and then drill down to specific rounds and events. In addition, a righthand rail lets you go straight to an age group and find exactly which event the group is contesting. Amazing service at the meet, which ends Sunday. Congrats to the Eurovets! Oh, and after a couple days, Sweden’s Ivar Söderlind has documented eight world records, including three in the pentathlon. See his provisional list. Photo gallery (heavy on muckymucks but not athletes) also has been posted.
Bib numbers indicate the Eurovets indoor meet has well over 3,600 entrants.
Here’s what Ivar reported today on the Eurovets site:

In the European Veteran Athletic Championship Indoors (EVACI) in Gent, I have after two days noted 16 European Records and 8 of these records also are World Records.Two of the World Records are noted outdoors, in discus W75 (29.11) by Rosemary Chrimes,GBR and in M80 Weight Throw (17.09) by Richard Rzekak,GBR.

The result pages are indeed great, after being hardly working for a big part of day 1. But now they are sometimes even live, when you wonder whom of the jumpers you see jumping in front of you (three high jump pits in a row) is in rank 1, just see the results page.
The meet is easily flowing, judges are very athlete friendly, time schedules are mostly undisturbed and that with over 3400 entrants of which maybe 3000 actually are present. (Not showing Gabre Gabric of Autumn Gold.)
In all: a good place for worlds…?!
Indeed, very nice and as Weia said, it would be a good place for the World Championship.
Next world indoor meet is Finland:

Sacramento General Assembly will pick host of 2014 world indoor meet from two candidates: Budapest, Hungary, and Valencia, Spain.
I see, maybe some other continent should have it in 2016.
I heard Dubai is nice 🙂
Ken, I believe that is “muckety-mucks” although I guess a muck is a muck.
The next eurovets indoor would be in San Sebastian but they cancelled it at day 1 in Gent…. There were no other candidates… Then someone, I do not know who but I guess one of the organisers of Gent, came within hours with four new candidates! I am very curious for those four and who will get the event.
I noticed the Women’s 50-54 Age group in the shotput is incomplete. There was suppose to be 2 flights (Group A & B) with about 12 throwers in each group but only 1 person advanced out of one of the groups but the other group was left out entirely.

I returned from Gent with more than 6,500 photos, covering almost all indoor events. Not bad for somoeone who also made a sprint semifinal before getting injured.
I need a good 10 days to sort the photos and post them on my web site. Please be patient meanwhile. This is a labor of love, not cash.
