Dead or alive, who were top masters of 2014?
Again, the IAAF is running a poll to help its leaders choose Athletes of the Year. Starting Wednesday, select folks will choose from top names.
See the announcement. IAAF says: “A list of 10 male and 10 female candidates will firstly be selected by an international panel of athletics experts and announced by the IAAF. An email poll involving the World Athletics Family will then commence, opening on Wednesday 1 October and closing on Thursday 16 October, midnight CET. At the conclusion of the voting process, three male and three female finalists will be selected and announced by the IAAF.” Then IAAF poobahs make the final pick. I’d like to see WMA adopt this model. It gives WMA final say, but also lets some of the rabble weigh in. No debates about what events count and what don’t. Just a verdict on who is season best. Period. I’d like to try this here. Firstly, post names of the year’s top performers. Later, I’ll create a poll, where you can vote frequently and often. (Hey, it works for TV dance and singing shows.) I nominate Olga and Guido. What say y’all?

makes too much sense to happen Ken –
The voting was to open yesterday. It hasn’t happened yet.
Only selected members of the “IAAF Family” get to vote.
