World Cup - Good Luck Brooke

---

The IAAF World Cup is the premier team’s competition in world athletics. The competition features straight finals in all events except the multi-events and walks, with athletes representing continental teams from Asia, Africa, Americas (Canada, Central and South America and the Caribbean) Europe and Oceania. In addition, the USA and the top two teams from the European Cup (France and Russia for the men and Russia and Poland for women) joining host nation Greece in the nine team competition. Athletes compete for points based on placings to determine the best teams in international athletics.

Australia will be represented by 35 athletes, including Commonwealth Games gold medallists Bronwyn Thompson (long jump), Brooke Billett (hammer), Kym Howe and Steve Hooker (pole vault), Scott Martin (shot put and discus) and Stuart Rendell (hammer). Relay gold medalists in the 4x400m from Melbourne - Rosemary Hayward, Caitlin Willis and Clinton Hill will also compete.

During this competition Brooke will compete against the current world record holder - Tatyana Lysenko, who has thrown the 4 kg hammer 77.06! This is a great opportunity for Brooke to mix it with the worlds best and to have an early hit out.

BEST OF LUCK BROOKE!
