Guido Müller making guest appearance at Euro Masters Games
I missed Guido Müller at Sacramento. He’s a god of long hurdlers and quarter-milers. He’s 72 but still is a threat to break 60 seconds for the lap. Dunno why this German superstar didn’t compete at worlds, but he’s entered at the European Masters Games in two weeks. See the entry list here. The next World Masters Games, BTW, is Turin, Italy, and “interested host cities (for 2017) should contact [IMGA] if they need more information about the procedure.” An interesting element of the sample bid contract: “Drug tests will be conducted in accordance with Art. 8.6.1 of the Guidelines and the Olympic Movement Anti-Doping Code.”

Watched Dwight Stone in his geeky glasses tonight at the Universal Sports studio coverage of Daegu worlds. He made me smile — mentioning masters three or four times while mentioning a 35-year-old lady high jumper. Didn’t have to do that. I think he’s just being nice to us.
Ken, why do you say Guido is “guesting”? He’s just another entrant alongside the rest of us going.
Ken,
It was nice to hear Dwight mention Masters track. I noticed that there are many more 30+ year old athletes doing well at the Worlds. I hope that they continue to run/jump/throw and bring their great talents to Masters track.
The bronze 100 meter winner in World Championship is 35 !!
