Thousands of Porto Alegre photos posted! Not too shabby, Shaggy

Doug Smith aka Shaggy

M60 steepler Doug Smith of Ontario calls himself Shaggy Smith — partly for his long locks but also to distinguish himself from other masters athletes of the same name. He’s been shooting major meets for many years but really outdid himself at Porto Alegre. He’s posted thousands of shots, and they’re available for downloading, he says. (But high-resolution images may require some special care.) Just peruse this archive, then click on image and right-click to “save as.” Also available are Steve Burger’s photos of Brazil worlds, for a price. Also worth checking out is this 7-minute video set to the Rocky theme “Eye of the Tiger.” M45 American sprinter Clinton Aurelien uploaded the video and shares some clips of American sprint finishes, including Charles Allie in 200 or 400 and a Tunde Ridley gold-medal run. Also includes shots of the athletes party, the first I’ve seen. Great job, Clinton! And congrats on your relay gold and silver.
