Every four years athletes have an opportunity to have a shot at trying to qualify for the Olympic Games, an event that can be viewed as the pinnacle competition for track and field. 


Forty events- 20 for men, 20 for women. Over the next 9 months Australia’s and New Zealand’s best, will compete to try and qualify for the 2012 London Olympic Games. 
We will see our track and field stars shine, personal bests smashed, up and comers breaking through the ranks and always an under dog surprising us all. Along side this we will see tears, emotions and dreams made or shattered.


Which stars will live up to expectations? Which underdogs will shock Australia? Runner’s Tribe offers an exclusive look at every event and the main contenders and up and comers looking for a berth at the Olympic Games, from all events; distance, sprints and field.  In coming weeks Australia’s and New Zealander’s best up and coming talents will give readers insights into their lives, themselves, training and racing as they look to towards London 2012.
