Record field for Sr Thai meet

[ATHLETICS] A record 1,105 athletes from all over the country will be participating in the 11th Thailand Veterans Athletics Championships starting today at the Chiang Mai 700th Anniversary Stadium.
"This is the second time that the championships of this kind has been held in Chiang Mai. But this year is very special because the number of participants is more than we had expected. We staged the championships here for the first time in 1998 with only about 450 participants," said president of the Thailand Veterans Athletics Association (TVAA) Viwat Vitgrantanoros."Apart from the Thais, we also have athletes from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka," he said.
