First Aid is on Hand at the Finishing Post.
At the Winning Post Ambulance Crew is on Stand Bye. A huge TV Screen can be seen with the Camera Timing Unit which gives the times to the Hundredth of a Second. ( Photo Finish)
The Big Screen with an Entertainer On Screen.
Before the Races we were entertained by Singers. I think they were testing out the TV system for the Photo Finishing of the Athletes.
Hows this for Street Dancing?
I Caught this Street Dancer in full flow, Dancing. How do they do that? It's Scary.
The Street Dancers give a Demonstration.
On the Track before the Athlete's start to Run, Street Dancers Show their Skills.
Olympic Medalists Help to Stage the Races.
Gold Medalists Lynford Christie and Darren Cambell are here to Encourage the Street Athletes to Race the 100 Metre Course and so interest the Youngsters to take up Athletics. These Races have been going on for Five Years.
Celebraties
Lynford and Darren enjoy a well earned free cup of orange juice while the crowds photo them and sign autographs which they are happy to oblige.
