Cheap Hotels in Berlin - News

Golden Wonder

Athletics fans have a great chance to see some of the best competitors in the world in one of the most historic venues in the world, the 1936 Berlin Olympic Stadium, when the Golden League meeting takes place on the 16th of September.

Home to the games where Hitler's plans for a showcase of Aryan supremacy were shattered by black American Jesse Owen's four gold medals, (commemorated by a plaque at the stadium), the venue also hosted the 2006 World Cup Final.

Luckily, the only dipping heads on display this time will belong to sprinters hurtling towards the line, rather than a fuming Zinedine Zidane, while there will also be a variety of races, objects hurled great distances and large amounts of sand undisturbed, as leaping competitors propel themselves over it.

According to festival organisers, the world 100 metre record holder Asafa Powell has just been confirmed as taking part.

Visitors staying in cheap hotels will be able to combine the event with an exciting trip to a vibrant city rediscovering itself after years of segregation, where the nightlife and cultural scene are particularly lively.
