Best Veteran 2011: Stig Bäcklund (FIN)

Since quite a long time the Finnish athlete Stig Bäcklund (M 70) is outstanding in his special event, the triple jump. He not only dominated the yearly list of bests and national and international record lists, he also dominated the championships, most recently in Sacramento (USA) at the WMACS, when he won with more than one meter lead his event.

The pooling of European Best Veterans' (EBV) ceremony and the Italian Bests (IB) was a direct hit. In Rome both groups met and celebrated an extraordinary evening. Representatives of EVAA and of FIDAL as well used this evening to thank the veterans athletes for their commitment during the last years and expressed the hope that this movement will expand even further.
