Dan -- what is going to be the list of events? I know that the list will be largely based on the Golden League list of evens, but there is some room for a selection within this particular framework.
I looked at the recovery—from—injury and B—national—European—teams helped by some elite athletes unofficial European championships or the European Winter Cup’2006, I saw a couple of runners that I may have to ask you to include in the possible selection lists.

I suppose it's nearing that time...

The defintes are men's 100, 400, 1500, 3k/5k, and LJ, and women's 100, 400, 3k/5k, and HJ. Men's Jav and women's 100h we don't have a good scoring model for.

That gives us 9 GL events, which is pretty good. Just a matter of adding a tenth non-GL event that looks like it'll be contested often enough. I'd lean toward the women's 800 if it looks like it'll show up in enough of the meets.

I would like to use this opportunity to make a request – as I wrote I did follow the European Winter Cup: could you evaluate Anna Jakubczak (nearing her life—long apogee after a recent child birth: I have always wondered why women live longer than men, and child birth has been always my most intuitive answer) for either 3K or 5K.

800 m looks like a good idea.
I wish that they would have a 1K or 1.2K race contested. 800 m is too much of a dash to be fully appreciated. One mile or 1500 m is the best race, but already a little too long for the generation raised with the near—instant access to news through the means of Internet. I believe that 2.5 or 3 laps would allow the fans to follow the race, but at the same time, those with the really short attention span would not get bored.
This, of course, does only apply to the outdoor races.

Let's try and keep this limited to which events to include in the Fantasy league, not which events you would like to see added to the sport or the merits of specific athletes and life expectancies...

All things being equal I think the 800 is a more competitive event - closer times and more people with possibilities to win... makes for a fun game when people can pick out someone that might have a breakthrough season last year you could get some people that I am sure will be much higher this year for not a whole lot of $$

I'd also take a look at the men's 200 ... I think it will be offered more this year given that the talent base in that event is starting to pile up ... Its actually a deeper event right now than the 100 !!!! And with Carter looking like he will be going to Europe, and Wariner giveing the event some focus this year ... That makes a tough event from last year even tougher ... Almost forcing promoters to put it on the schedule ...

I'd like to include the 200, but we've been burnt on it before and we're already pretty well set on the men's side.

I, too, have been watching Wariner with interest in the shorter races. What do you think his potential is this year in the 200 ??

Do you think Wariner would ever make a permanent move up to 800m ??
