Street Athletics....

Both our Team GB Olympic athletes and our Paralympic Team have done astonishingly well over the summer in Rio. Both teams came second in the rankings behind the USA in the Olympics and behind China in the Paralympics. Both teams did better in Rio than they did in London as well. We like all this. And in a few weeks the homecoming parade will be in Manchester. Of course it doesn’t just happen. It has to start somewhere. And in Albert Square this evening there were lots of little kids competing against each other on a purpose built track in front of a pop up stadium to give them a taste of what it might be like for them in Tokyo 2020 or Paris/Budapest/Hamburg/Rome/Los Angeles 2024.
