Yeah, you're probably right, the 'quiet' spell is because of the Olympics

[Powell]

Yes, I was aware of that one - that's why I said there weren't too many meets, not that there weren't any. My point is that there are fewer big meets scheduled for the next 2 weeks than there have been in the last 2 weeks, and I presume the scheduling is due to the Olympics (though I guess the fact that most national indoor championships take place on one of the following 2 weekends also plays a part).

Actually, apart from Birmingham, there aren't too many international meets planned for this week.

What does this week hold in store for the athletes, and for us, as fans?

Actually, apart from Birmingham, there aren't too many international meets planned for this week. I can only suppose promoters don't want to compete with the Olympics for fan interest.
