Dysfunction in the Eurovets: Kaschke clueless on WMA bidders
Kurt continues:
Finishing my mandate as President of EMA in 2017 – the next Stadia Championships in Arhus (DEN) – the next candidates should be aware of the situation of athletics in the World.
After the scandal in IAAF, athletics reputation has lowered. Athletics is still attractive in road races, city marathons and other out of stadium competitions, but stadia is losing the younger generations – and we can’t stop it.
The cities have to be careful with the investment in athletics facilities and they are more interested in investing money in ”sports for all” than in high standard competition – except footbal!
It would be a great honour and success for the ”old” EMA Council to see the European Masters Athletics Association in good hands after the GA in Aarhus 2017. Thank you for your support and for your critics as well.
Kurt, BTW, is reportedly not stepping down as EMA president, as suggested here.
