| Track & Field Statistics was selected as the first Web Site of the Month in December 1996 by Britain's biggest sports magazine, Total Sport. | "TRACK & FIELD STATISTICS is a labour of fanaticism by 24-year-old Finn Mika Perkiömäki. Not for him the pedestrian world of mere records and results from Atlanta. Mika also supplies world record progressions, all-time best performances, previous champions and even best ever disqualified performances. (remember, these are for every track & field event). The detail is mindboggling, with date, city, wind assistance, whether it was a major meeting (World Championships or Olympics etc) and at what stage of the meeting (ie semi-final, heat) the performance was in. There are no frills, no gimmicks, just cold, hard, stats junkie-satisfying facts. A virtually real gold medal to you, sir!" |
