Riccione runs out of time: No rules changes in 2007
Jerry Bookin-Weiner, USATF Masters throwing events coordinator, reports that the General Assembly at Riccione had to vacate its rented auditorium by 6 p.m. — and so wasn’t able to discuss any of the dozens of rules-change proposals on the agenda. How sad. Folks (like the Aussies) fly thousands of miles and can’t even get a hearing because of a scheduling snafu. Jerry writes: “I understand that because they had to be out of the room where it was held by 6 p.m. local time, none (that’s right, none) of the by-law (read rules) changes were even discussed. I’m told all of them — hurdles proposals, changing the name of the weight pentathlon, new implements for 70+ women — were tabled until the Assembly in Finland in 2009.â€

That’s great news…how funny that it came down to them running out of time due to a rental agreement. Glad to hear that the steeple will stay the same and everyone can still run it for at least another 2 years!
