Alfred Hermes’ German masters site shares newsy news of nation

If it’s news, it’s news to me. Especially German masters news. On Wednesday, I learned of a German masters track website, whose title translates as “magazine for senior athletics.” Use the Chrome browser to see it translated into English. The gent behind it is 69-year-old Alfred Hermes, who excels in sprints and middle distances. He reports German deaths and keeps an eye on Eurovets. He shared news that European Masters Athletics is compiling all-time Eurovets top-10 lists by event and age group. Thanks for the heads up, Alfred! The site’s first posts are from 2013. My previous go-to German site was that of Robert and Annette Koop, on hiatus since 2011.

Alfred has been posting to this site for about two years. Lots of good stuff.

    In the Eurovets top 10, Getulio is listed as Portuguese.

    Alfred’s site has been down a few days, but he tells me: “I’ll try to find the reasons and hope that Webnode (his hosting provider) will find the error.”

    On Monday, Alfred’s site was restored.

    Reason for the blackout?

    “It was an incorrect entry in the directory of the expiration date of the domain.” Alfred says.
