Gozo finally gets a track for runners. And it’s rectangular.

You just have to ask what sort of Taghna Lkoll brainbox came up with this lateral-thinking solution for runners in Gozo.

Let’s see now – you’re building up speed, then you come to one of turns, slow down and take a sharp right, taking care not to bump into the person in the next lane where the lanes bulge out or shrink.

Goziton athletes by right need to have a track and a pool to train …. finally the big day has arrived …… oh my god a square track !!!! A big round of applause to the architect who came up with this short cut brilliant idea ….a square track …. am laughing at this stupidity but angry inside as it can’t be used by the athletes if they are going to do speed work !! what a waste of money …can’t imagine runners running fast and having to do a 90 degree turn ……the knees would love it ! paqpaq gahan.
