I am off to Italy today for the IAAF World Youth Championships which will be held in Bressanone/Brixen, some hamlet in northern Italy in a region called Sudtirol.
So far it does not sound like one of the most exotic venues as the information says that the population is under 30,000 and the nearest large city is Verona where we will fly into and is two hours (98 miles) away depending on traffic.
Getting there will be a beast, 9am Knutsford to kingston, then get to Norman Manley by 3pm for the 5:15pm flight to London, get to london 8:30am (local time), a three hour lay over then a flight to Verona getting there at 3:30pm (local time, 7 hours ahead of us), then a two hours bus ride to Bressanone and hopefully we get there in time for the opening ceremony and some interviews and then to hotel to wite stories for Wednesday's paper.
Oh yes the meet starts the next morning.....
