The European Veterans Championships 2007 Ljubljana, Slovenia, 23 July to 3 August |
|
A really good championships, held in a lovely country and a really friendly city. I was busy, as usual. I made both finals of the M50 100m and 200m, and ran a new personal best in the 200m. When not warming up or racing I was out in the 32 degree sunshine, camera in hand.

Although my main task is to photograph the Great Britain Masters team, I always come home with lots of shots of athletes from other nations. I have sorted these into separate galleries below. Enjoy! |
