Those who follow my blog have noticed several references to Carles Baronet, an expert Catalan athletics statistician. I have first found his blog Trackinsun when following P. Larsson's site of all-time Track and Field performances. Trackinsun was giving athletics results, in almost real time from all over the world. I referred again to Trackinsun when I announced that Carles Baronet had decided to change the format of his publication opting for a weekly newsletter. And again when he was associated to the site Somos Atletismo where he was responsible for the performance statistics part.
Well things have evolved since those posts. During this winter Trackinsun was put on hold, replaced by the weekly newsletters (very detailed, a fortune for the fans of athletics). Unfortunately Somos Atletismo folded and while the blog still exists it is not updated anymore. Trackinsun in now just a place-holder without content. (Which is a pity since the blog contained 10 years' results, a real treasure trove).
And recently Carles announced to the subscribers of the newsletter that the formula will be changing again next year. The newsletter will disappear and a new blog will make (in fact it has already made) its appearance. It has the unimaginative name of Track and Field results but this time the name of the author appears in the title. As always with Carles the site has an incredible breadth of results, literally from all over the world. So, if you are interested, even a little, in the statistics of athletics I suggest that you start following Carles Baronet's new blog.
