ATHLETICS Athletics was given a boost by the St Circle of Amateur Sportsmen, founded at Tyarlevo near the capital in 1888. It had grown out of the Petrov Amateur Running Society formed a couple of years earlier. its athletics included jumping, hurdling running, discus and javelin throwing. The next year, it was paid 90.000 rubles for a large area of wooded land on Krestovsky land, which was turned into a sports centre incorporating a soccer pitch, pavilion, shootin two tennis courts, track, jumping pit and an area for field sports The Circle was financed mainly by subscriptions from members (largely servicemen and foreign residents in the capital) who still numbered only 50 in 1900. By this time, athletics clubs existed in all the major cities: Moscow, St Petersburg, Kiev, Kharkov, Nizhny Novgorod, Riga, Warsaw and Odessa. Although no athletes were sent to the 1908 Olympic Games, the first All-Russia athletics championships were held that time and a National Amateur Athletics Association was formed in 1911 in preparation for the 1912 Olympics. Despite the failure to win any Olympic medals athletics was popular enough to warrant some 50 athletics clubs in 1913.It is worth noting that none ofthem accepted women, whose participation in sport in general and athletics in particular was not yet socially acceptable.
