We were very lucky this week as a membe rof our team organised for us to visit the Aspire sports complex. The complex is the largest indoor sports facility in the world and seven events were held there during the 2006 Asian games. There is a group (200-210) of Qatari students who reside there. Go to school and train there. A wonderful facility built for competition rather than training. It included a whole range of sports hall, three olympic size swimming pools (two outside), a dive pool. A full size indoor football field with 8-9 outside. An indoor track and various other facilities which we didn't get to. We were taken around by one of the talent coaches, who happens to be a kiwi. Terry has worked with the warriors, blues and NZ track and field.
