European Championship Athletics in Amsterdam
« on: July 07, 2016, 21:06:54 »
These days the ECH are in Amsterdam and a nice thing is not everything is in a stadium.
The qualification for javelin is in front of the Rijksmuseum, the most famous Dutch museum.

What a great idea to organize qualifying in front of the Rijskmuseum!
I wonder what would be the most suitable place for the hammer throw :)

Nice to have such interesting backdrops for sport  - quite unusual and I like it lots.

Super setting for the Meet.  Nice to see some sports images.  I do not think the D500 was taxed too much.   Cool DHL image.
Thanks for sharing

Chris this is a great collection of shots showing atmosphere, sport and a unique place for executing a championship.
Congrats to your fast girl winning 100m and 200m and to this nice place.
