Athletics 2024
Athletics 2024 is now available for purchase.
This year’s ATFS Annual, Athletics 2024, edited by Richard Hymans and Stuart Mazdon, has now been published in a hard-copy edition. Following the untimely death of former edit Peter Matthews last year, Richard and Stuart took up the challenge to continue its annual publication.
Production of the 2024 Annual would not be possible without the generous support of a grant from the International Athletics Foundation. We also recognize the continuing support of World Athletics.
