IAAF Qatar Super Grand Prix...
The field isnt as exciting as last year, but there are quite a few big names this time round too. It will be at the Qatar Sports Club, from six in the evening on May 11, Friday. From 5.15 pm, there will be some show events by children from nine different schools in Qatar. Try and be there, it would be fun.
Athletes to take note of:
MEN
100M
Nigeria's Fasuba Olusoji, Dwight Phillips (US), Francis Obikwelu (Por) and Shawn Crawford (US).
110M hurdles
Terrence Trammell (US)
Javelin
Andreas Thorkildsen (Norway), Sergey Makarov (Russis)
WOMEN
Allyson Felix (US), Rakia Al gassra (Bahrain, Asian Games gold medal).
High Jump
Tia Hellebaut (Belgium)
Long Jump
Tianna Madison (US)
...and many more. This is just the people whom i thought would impress.
Hammad stadium is another name for Qatar Sports Club. I am sorry that you didnt read this thread earlier. That was one of the main events of the year. Since summer is setting in, it will be silent in Qatar for quite some time. The action starts again only by around Spetember-August. Dont worry, the moment something sporting happens, QL will know. I shall see to that!
I saw the posted at the city center and (if i remember correctly), it said Hammad Stadium. The next day i checked out a couple of stadiums but couldn't find the event taking place anywhere.
I have a copy of Marhabba magazine which said it would be held at the sports city but there was nothing going on there either.
So, anything else coming up?

ITs free even then people dont turn up. Why waste time anyway.
How much are the tickets?
Can tickets be purchased at the Sports Club? Also, for those that are new (or directionally challenged) can you describe the location of Qatar Sports Club? Thanks!
