This weekend in Amsterdam, they held the European Track Championships, which are the qualifying events for the Olympic games this summer in Brazil.
This was directly across the street from our flat, so of course we had to check it out. The boys got to try some events.
Javilin was first, then we did shotput. Here are some High Jump pics, Easton on the left and Connor on the right
Then we cheered on the half-marathon runners through the finish line.
These Swiss shirts made me laugh...
These are amazing athletes. The time they complete the half-marathon is so fast it is 13.2 miles or 21 km in an hour!!
The Italian women were 1st and 2nd.
It was a fun festival atmosphere at the park. It made us feel very lucky to live here.
Jealous. So awesome to take part in a fun community that is so far from our own. Must be great to get to check out the similarities and differences. From this picture, it looks similar to festivals here. I love seeing all those Olympic hopefuls and I am cheering for Holland in the Olympics!
