that writing is the next lines of this post I'll create some enemies, but believe me, are a healthy opinion of something I have been observing for many years. Is there a popular athletics?.
Since the late 70's and the disinhibition of this country determinades attitudes in public, people took to the streets to play sports, running, doing something that wine imported from the United States and countries of the Europe's most elite, the "footing."
Gradually this became a leisure activity for some of something else. The emergence of competitions in different cities of our country began to take a closer picture of competitive athletics and brought this area to amateur sports. The concept of "popular athletics" was taking shape and increased the number of clubs by the English, this undoubtedly did much to English athletics. But if we are more concrete definitions, "athletics popular" there there "athletics." Considering popular sport that is not subject to federal rules regardless of their level, it is true that this existence is real. However my thinking goes far beyond.
Everyone knows that the sports culture in this country leaves much to be desired, starting with some media, and no doubt that this affects the view we have of many sports. Today is identified "athletics popular" only with the run, big mistake. A real popular athletics should bring all other specialty athletic competitions by shooting, speed, etc. I speak from experience because in my town our club has been the first in the South zone of Madrid, if I mistake not, in organizing events of this kind with an illuminating as realistic as a result, the share of "popular" zero. There are "popular runners, but there's nothing to say about" popular launchers " "Popular sprinters, etc..
I have also heard from the Mijas Athletic Club, which has organized events designed to bring athletics to the people., Organizing competitions of length, weight, speed, etc. Http://clubatletismomijas.blogspot.com/2009/04/atletismo-popular.html
is true that the blame for this situation do not have the practitioners themselves, but unfortunately the little knowledge of this and other sports by many institutions and governments. Perhaps these lines are too purist an opinion, but if there are groups of friends in the neighborhood who play soccer playing basketball, tennis, etc. I think that the promotion of athletic specialties is not as complicated. In many cases, even easier to organize. The latter I say knowingly, because I had the opportunity to organize athletic events of various kinds and I have seen the difficulties of each other.
I think the term "popular athletics" is not correct, but rather "popular corridor" would be appropriate, pq to that in our country there are people who come to the tracks to stay for hours to see an event combined, or release, the "popular athletics" does not exist. While municipalities, Communities and other decision makers do not promote competitive initiatives that bring people to the streets many athletic specialty, the "popular athletics not exist."
Corridor "popular" if, "Athletics Popular?, Because in my humble opinion, no. It is possible that by removing the chopping block, but in recent days, after long time of trying to deny it, I came to this conclusion. I hope that in future give more opportunities for us to understand the track, in most of its aspects, as really popular. Meanwhile, part of it, will be contained in the official race tracks.
