2003 Training Info

Hi - Further to my comments on the photo of Tatiana (30 May) well blow me down I came across this great picture of Stacy Dragila. The picture comes from the Real Sports website and is copied from the location http://www.real-sports.com/mag/images/oly_track_dragila2.jpg. The reasons why I think it's such a good photo are similar to those I gave for the Tatiana photo (see below).

Please have a good look at the photo and notice the following points:

• Left thigh - parallel to the ground
• Left foot - parallel to the ground
• Upper body - straight (from the hips) with forward lean
• Right leg - fully extended (straight)
• Right foot - ankle extension
• Upper (right) hand - thumb & forefinger grip
• Driving (right) foot, knee, hips, shoulder and pole all aligned
