Impressions of the sports and other goings on at the Fanny Blankers Koen Games 2008 in Hengelo, The Netherlands. The games offered top class athletics in a very relaxed atmosphere. The stadium was fully renovated in 2007.

An impressively varied collection of strong colourful images with good timing, many interesting compositions and a feeling of being right in amongst the action.

i was thinking while watching at them..
how many dreams, efforts.. disappoints and happiness..
symbols of a strong will .. or others maybe deciding to quit..

you captured their souls and the sport's soul..
