MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
It is with great anticipation that Athletics Australia and the wider Australian community look forward to the IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China from 22-30 August 2015.
Ensuring the return of international athletics to the Bird’s Nest, a venue that we all have fond memories of from the 2008 Olympic Games, the 2015 championships will be the 15th instalment hosted by the International Association of Athletics Federations.
At the time of writing, our Australian Flame team is 48 strong, and I wish all selected athletes, together with their support network of coaches, family and friends, the very best of luck. It is a great honour to represent one’s country and I am confident that you will deliver a performance of which we can be proud.
I also extend my best wishes to Craig Hilliard, the Athletics Australia Head Coach, who is leading the Australian Flame team for the first time in his new role.
This year, the IAAF World Championships will be broadcast in Australia on both SBS 2 and Eurosport Australia. This is an outstanding development. I commend both networks for their decision to televise the championships and encourage all fans of athletics, and sport in general, to show their support by tuning in to celebrate the very best that athletics has to offer.
I am also appreciative of all our media colleagues that are covering Beijing 2015. Your support is vital in building the profile of our Australian athletes, as well
as what we hope will be great performances, and I value your contribution to the growth and success athletics in our country.
I warmly acknowledge the invaluable support that the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Institute of Sport have given to the preparation of our IAAF World Championships team.
The cooperation and support of the IAAF, the Australian Olympic Committee, the Australian Paralympic Committee, the Australian Commonwealth Games Association, the Oceania Athletics Federation and Athletics International is also deeply appreciated.
At these IAAF World Championships, the Australian team will proudly wear adidas competition uniforms. I, once again, welcome this outstanding global sporting brand as our official apparel and footwear partner and look forward to sharing the track and field journey with them and all Athletics Australia partners in the years ahead.
I look forward to enjoying the excitement of the IAAF World Championships with all Australians. To athletes over the nine days of competition, strive to deliver your best, enjoy the experience and compete with pride.

BEIJING UP CLOSE
THE IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
The 2015 IAAF World Championships will be held between Saturday 22 August and Sunday 30 August 2015.
The 15th instalment of the Championships, this year’s event will be held in Beijing (CHN), with previous editions of the event held in Helsinki (FIN), Rome (ITA), Tokyo (JPN), Stuttgart (GER), Gothenburg (SWE), Athens (GRE), Seville (ESP), Edmonton (CAN), Paris (FRA), Helsinki (FRA), Osaka (JPN), Berlin (GER), Daegu (KOR) and Moscow (RUS).
The event will be held in the iconic Bird’s Nest, the home of athletics, as well as the Opening & Closing Ceremonies, of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The IAAF has indicated that the majority of both day and evening sessions are likely to be sold out, with the stadium to again welcome the best athletes from across the globe for a stunning display of sporting prowess.
At the 2013 IAAF World Championships, Australia’s team included 46 athletes, made up of 35 individual athletes and a further 11 athletes who competed in the men’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays.
The Australian Flame’s six top-eight placings were delivered by medallists Sally Pearson (Qld, silver, 100mH), Kim Mickle (WA, silver, javelin) and Jared Tallent (Vic, bronze, 50km walk), as well as Zoe Buckman (Vic, 1500m), Kathryn Mitchell (Vic, javelin) and the men’s 4x400m relay team.
VENUE
Beijing National StadiumBeijing, China
The Beijing National Stadium, affectionately known as the Bird’s nest, is a multi-purpose stadium in the Chinese capital that was constructed and first used for the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Located within the Olympic Green, the stadium has a capacity of just over 80,000 people with a record attendance of more than 91,000 people achieved during the Opening Ceremony of Beijing 2008.
The home to athletics events, as well as the Opening & Closing Ceremonies, of the 2008 Olympic Games, the stadium today plays host to football matches and large scale concerts. During winter, it also becomes a popular winter sports precinct, with the venue changed to become a snow theme park that includes ice skating and other winter pursuits.
The 2015 IAAF World Championships are the first major athletics event to be hosted in the venue since the conclusion of the Olympic Games.

THE CITY
Population: 21.56 million Time difference: GMT +8 (AEST -2) Average temperature (July): 25.3 C
Beijing is the capital of the People’s Republic of China and one of the most populous cities in the world, being the third largest by population.
Located in northern China, the city is governed as a direct controlled municipality by the national government. It is surrounded by the Hebei Province and is the nation’s political, cultural and educational centre. It is home to the headquarters of most nationally owned Chinese companies, as well as being the major hub for the national network of highways, railways and speed-rail networks.
The city’s history dates back three millennia. As the last of the four great ancient cities of China, Beijing has been the political centre of the national for over 800 years. The city is for this reason renowned for its opulent palaces, temples and parks, and its art treasures and universities have made it the cultural capital.
Beijing boasts seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, Zhoukoudian, the Great Wall of China and the Grand Canal.

ATHLETE PROFILE
Melbourne’s Allan Cook has been competing for over 40 years, first starting in Little Athletics in Mildura, aged 10-years-old, before developing into an accomplished middle-distance runner in Victoria.
“I ran open athletics in my early ‘20s and was a duel registered athlete running both amateur and professional events,” Cook said.
“My personal bests in open athletics were 3:55.00 (1500m) and 1:52.0 (800m). I didn’t compete in open Victorian Championships, however I won two middle distance handicap events at the iconic Stawell Easter Gift, the 800m in 1985 and 1600m in 2007.”Cook was also an AFL boundary umpire for many years, umpiring 256 league games, including three AFL Grand Finals in the 1990’s.
“I started Masters’ Athletics at the age of 45 and won many medals in state and national championships, but my biggest achievement was winning gold in the 50-54 years 1500m at the 2013 World Masters Athletics Championships.”
Cook has set a goal for his race in Beijing.
“I want to be competitive and leave nothing on the track, run smart and run my own race.”

ATHLETE PROFILE
Similar to Allan Cook, Julie Forster started athletics in Little Athletics in Sydney.
“I was about 5-years-old when I started. My father, William, who was very supportive, would take me to training at Concord Oval and to competitions all over Sydney and sometimes interstate,” Forster recalled.
“My best performances were in the state titles at the age of 12 or 13 where I placed second to Debbie Wells (Australian junior record holder and dual Olympian) in the 200m and third in the 100m. I had been running up hills in the summer holidays prior to those races, under coach, Bruce Finegan. But I gave up athletics as a teenager so I never raced in my twenties.”
It would not be too long before Forster returned to the sport.
“Around 2001 I became motivated from a combination of watching the Sydney Olympics and running the mothers race in jeans at my daughters’ school. Once back into it, I used to drag my two girls along to my competitions and had a babysitter two evenings a week so I could train after work. Due to my family commitments, my first nationals weren’t until Canberra in 2005, where Marie Kay just defeated me in the 200m,” Forster said.
The year 2011 was one of the best of her career.
“On a balmy evening in Brisbane in 2011, I broke the women’s 50 years 100m national record running 12.64 seconds and along with the dream team of Julie Brims, Gianna Mogentale and Giola Campbell we went onto break the world 4x100m and 4x400m records. Later in the year I went to Sacramento for the World Masters’ Athletics Championships where I won the individual 400m and placed third in the 200m. We also won the 4x400m relay in a meet record.”
Forster was a late addition to the Beijing race and had been fortunate to run an acceptable time late last summer, due to injury.
“In the race I plan to relax and the results will look after itself.”

ATHLETE PROFILE
Unlike the other athletes, Gianne Mogentale didn’t start athletics until masters.
“I started athletics at the age of 36-years-old in the year 2000,” Mogentale said.
“I was introduced to athletics by my partner, Gary, who convinced me to look into running with a club when he realised the burning desire and love I had for running since I was a child. I had never been given the opportunity to do athletics at a younger age because of my parents’ ethnic background.”
“At the World Masters’ Championships in Brisbane in 2001, I won my first ever title in the 100m.”
Her success continued over the next decade winning a world indoor title in 2014. She competed at six world masters championships, winning medals in them all. In addition, she was on Australian relay teams which broke four world records over distances of 4x100m and 4x400m in ages from 35 to 45 years.
One of her proudest achievements is “winning the Champion of Champions race at the Australian Masters’ Championships for seven consecutive years.”
Mogentale will be a worthy Australian representative in Beijing.
“My goal is to finish the race knowing that I have run to the best of my ability while at the same time making Australia proud.”
