COVID IMPACT ON 2021 WPFG Rotterdam
San Diego, Caliifornia
Dear WPFG Competitors and Family,
Due tot eh unprecedented and unpredictable spread of the coronavirus outbreak, the WPFG Federation has called a meeting to convene mid to late June with our partners, the Host Cities (Rotterdam, Winnipeg and Birmingham) to discuss postponement of the 2021 Games in Rotterdam. If the Federation’s discussion results in a change to the Birmingham or Winnipeg Games we will inform you accordingly.
It is anticipated that a decision regarding Rotterdam will be rendered and placed on our website, along with Rotterdam’s website no later than July 1, 2020. The health and safety of our athletes and everyone involved in our “Games” is paramount. We thank you for participation and support with this great event.
Best Regards,
Larry “LC” Collins

Athlete Profile: Meet Marcella Piersol
With the 2020 Championships not happening, we want to give everyone the opportunity to meet their fellow athletes. As part of our Athlete Profile series, we would like to introduce you to Marcella Piersol, a retired Lieutenant with the Los Angeles Police Department. Marcella has competed off and on throughout her entire career mostly in running events. In 2013, after turning 50, she wanted to challenge herself in a new age division and ended up setting records in the 1500 and 5000 meter run in Track & Field. This ultimately gave her the confidence to compete at the World Games in 2013 in Belfast, Ireland, which turned out to be one of her all time favorite travel experiences.
In 2019 she decided to challenge herself again by competing in cycling for the first time in San Diego; winning 2 Gold Medals.
