PART 2: Consider myself one of the most fortunate people in the sport to have witnessed all the moments that I’ve posted here on the ‘gram since attending my first worldathletics championship meet in Tokyo in 1991. • The sampling of photos in the two collages put together obviously include athletes with ties to the state of Washington, plus some of the most memorable moments of my 30 years (I missed Gothenburg in 1995) of covering the world championships. • What memories will be made at wabudapest23? Also, what event (s) and athletes are you looking forward to seeing in Budapest? • Please drop your answers in the comments section! • To paraphrase a famous uwtrack runner competing in Budapest, “see you at the ‘Pest!” • All photos ©️ Paul Merca.
