Over 1400 athletes from 63 countries are competing in this world competition. I am a member of the California Striders Track Club and we have over 30 athletes from our team competing. So far I have won 3 bronze medals -javelin, dicus, and shot put. I have 2 more events, hammer (thursday) and weight throw (friday). Despite an ailing shoulder I am optimistic about getting a medal in the hammer and weight throw. California Striders President- Brenda Matthews upset the current world champion in the women 60 meters with a time of 9.04. My roommate Agnes Green (women 55) competing in her 1st world championship, won 2 silver medals- javelin and shot put.
