The memorial Ivo Van Dame is a famous athletic meeting. Every years since 1977 (nineteen seventy seven) the best athlets of the world come in Brussels for that. In fact, that competition is an homage for Ivo Van Damme.
Ivo van Damme was a fabulous belgian athlet. Who knows which distance ran Mr. Van Damme? He was seconde at the olimpic games in Montreal in two disciplines: the height hundred and the fifteen hundred. He was a big champion. But he dies in a road accident on the twenty-sevent th December nineteen seventy six. It is a drama for the sport and especially for the Belgian sport. And so we have to decide that every year one shall organize a competition.
I'm a lucky girl because since four year I can go to Brussel to see the Memorial Van damme in live. It's a fabulous show. It's very impressive of see athletes of heights level run. I like that because I like running best it's my hobby and i'm in a club. When I go to the memorial I have my place with the club. There, I can see my idols and sometime I can do a picture with they. I often wait at the exit of the athletes to have an autograph.
The show is insurant because there is a program in charge with the one hundred, the ten thousand and the two hundred with Usein Bolt of course but also contributes (High jump, length, The perch, the shot put,...)
The memorial is famous for it ambiance especially when a belgin runs and... wins of course! Who is go now in the memorial van damme? Do you like that? Me, I find that experience very very cool but It's normaly because I like athletic...
