13.07.2012 Barcelona. Great sport.
Last night, I caught a glimpse of the World Junior Championships in Athletics from Barcelona on a Spanish TV channel. I had no idea these were happening right now, and right in the city I’m heading towards next. Sounds great, though! So, when arrived in Barcelona early this afternoon, I decided to find out if I could attend some of these events.
It was easier than I could have imagined. The ticket was only €10 and I could even choose where I wanted to sit in relation to the finishing line. Nice! This is a huge difference to my repeated and unsuccessful attempts at getting hold of tickets to any of the events at the London 2012 Olympics.
The atmosphere at the stadium was really great, with the up-and-coming athletes from 178 countries doing a tremendous job. It was fun, and very different to my art-and-culture focus from yesterday in Cuenca.

Perhaps this games are more in the spirits of the Olympic games in London.
