Welcome to the new edition of PB magazine for Scottish Athletics members.
The first edition of 2024 is a very special one as it marks the World Indoors in Glasgow – the first global track and field champs held in Scotland.
We have a 12-page special section devoted (mainly) to the Scots with the GB and NI team plus our Scottish Officials on duty. Tom McKean also takes a run down Memory Lane.
The Lindsays National XC always commands attention and we’ve a three-page special for that event.
In our Grassroots Athletics section, look out for some terrific, absorbing reads from Katy Barden and David McCarthy. These include Women’s Running, Larkhall YMCA, Andrew McGill/Frank Clement and Steve Adam of Carnegie Harriers. We’ve a High Jump piece, too, with Matthew Tait and coach Allan Smith.
Finally, we’re 100 years on from a rather special moment at the Olympics. . . so our Scottish Athletics Historian, Arnold Black, has edited a piece (by the late Colin Shields) all about Paris 1924 gold medallist Eric Liddell.
