Dina Re-opens Refurbished Track at Norman Park
Wednesday 13/11/2019
World 200m Champion, Dina Asher-Smith, was welcomed
back to her home track at Bromley’s Norman Park yesterday evening, following
her multi-medal winning performances at last month’s World Athletics
Championships in Doha.
Dina, who has just returned to training after a
well-deserved end-of-season break, arrived at the track for a session with
her coach, John Blackie and the rest of his training group, to be greeted by
a large crowd of her fellow Blackheath & Bromley Club members, as well as
youngsters from the BEES Academy, who had all gathered to congratulate her
on her success in the World Championships and to see her officially re-open
the track after its recent refurbishment. Dina was very surprised to see
such a magnificent turnout.
After navigating her way down the home straight
through the crowd to the finish line and following a brief official welcome
from the Club President, Julian Golding, and to much applause, Dina cut the
ceremonial ribbon to celebrate the completion of the refurbishment of the
track. She then joined her training group to continue her preparations for
next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Club President, Julian Golding said: “The Club is
tremendously proud of Dina’s achievements and of the role her coach, John
Blackie, who has played a significant role in her success. It was great that
we could celebrate these successes, and the Club’s 150th Anniversary, with
the reopening of the track by Dina, surrounded by so many of our members,
young and old.”
Outgoing Chair of Norman Park Track Management, Chris
Hilditch, commented “The reopening of the newly re-furbished track this
evening marked completion of the first stage of the Club’s plans to secure a
sustainable future for the track. We look forward to asking Dina to open a
new community sports and recreation centre here in the months to come.”
It also means that the club can now resume its 150
Leaderboard Mile race series aiming to have 150 different club members each
run a mile over the course of the season with already over 125 having taken
part.
