JJ
we stappen in de metro in Barcelona. net op tijd voor de deuren dicht gaan en met ons glipt ook een klein mannetje binnen. hij ziet onze outfit en vraagt of we ook naar atletiek gaan. ja want we zijn op weg naar de warming up baan voor training.
da's toevallig hij ook. hij coacht midden afstand. nice to meet you, my name is JJ, see you.
bij alle latere toernooien zagen we hem weer, als assitant team coach ondertussen getrowud met Jearl Miles, JJ Clark.

They may not be the first family of the American Olympic effort, but they aren't far from it. Four members of one Knoxville based family account for 13 Olympic appearances in the last 20 years.
Tennessee Lady Vols track and field coach J. J. Clark is officially making his first Olympiad as an assistant coach for the U. S. team. Unofficially, he's been to the last five Olympics with his wife, Jearl Miles-Clark, his sister Joetta made four Olympic teams, and sister Hazel Clark-Riley will be competing in her third Olympics in Beijing.
J. J. is Hazel's coach and this will be the first time he officially coaches the US Olympic Trial 800 meter champion and defending Gold Medalist at the Games.
Hazel said their mother calls her regularly with reports about the air pollution in Beijing, but she said since it is something she can't control, she isn't going to worry about it.
Clark-Riley will have to leave someone behind when she makes the trip to Beijing; her three year old chihuahua, Pluto.
