Our sport has been turned never seen it before! upside down, never mind our daily lives. Acknowledgments More than six months into the pandemic it Until next time, enjoy your horses and stay is safe to say that horse people across the safe. country have been challenged in ways they never thought possible. During the best of times, anyone who rides and owns horses knows that they keep us on our toes with a seemingly never-ending list of things that can and do go wrong. However, as we continue to navigate our way through these Karen Sparks unchartered waters, it has been inspiring Chair, EC Jumping Committee to see so many people digging deep and finding ways to persevere. I have been impressed by the gumption, creativity, and commitment shown by equestrians across the country. This is usually the time of year that I’m making plans to head to Toronto to attend SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2020 THE WARM-UP RING 1 Q&A WITH DAYTON GORSLINE, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ADVISOR By Jennifer Ward Originally from the Edmonton, AB, area, Dayton Gorsline has Starting Gate Communications enjoyed an illustrious career in the world of show jumping. After working as a professional rider for Spruce Meadows for 10 years, Gorsline struck out on his own in 1999. Within the first year of being self-employed, he partnered with Canadian Olympian Lisa Carlsen in both business and in life. The couple has an 18-year- old daughter, Cassie, who has followed in her parents’ footsteps as a show jumping competitor. Their Trademark Stables in Okotoks, AB, is home to approximately 24 horses. Gorsline also trains other riders in the area and often teaches in the mornings before returning home to coach clients for the remainder of the day. In 2019, Gorsline took over the role of Youth Development Advisor from Beth Underhill, who was the first person to fill the position for Equestrian Canada (EC). Gorsline acts as Chair of the Youth Development Committee, which currently includes David Ballard, Alex Grayton, Underhill, and Marni von Schalburg. Tell us a little about the role. When did you start and what are your responsibilities? I had been on the committee with Beth for about four years. Last year, she wanted to step away from Chairing the committee to focus on qualifying for the Pan American Games. (Editor’s Note – Underhill was the traveling alternate for the 2019 Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru, with Count Me In.) I had done a lot of stuff to help out in the west and was one of the people that EC interviewed for the role and it went from there. Our job is to pick teams, culminating in the North American Youth Championships (NAYC). Obviously, those championships didn’t happen this year, but we are responsible for picking teams for youth nations’ cup events in Florida and here at home in Canada at Thunderbird. As the Chair, it’s my responsibility to know what is going on with our young riders and to network with people throughout the country. I have a good grasp on what is happening in the west and I talk to people in the east who train young riders like Kelly and Jonathon Millar, Beth, Jill Henselwood, and Francois Lamontagne in Quebec. Karen (Hendry-Ouellette, EC Manager of Jumping) and I have tried really hard this year to get riders to sign up and get their names into our system for tracking purposes. The most difficult thing is keeping up with everyone’s age as the Youth program comprises four age groups now and riders quickly move from one age bracket to another. We’ve worked to develop a better database of these riders going forward. We have also worked with US Equestrian to have access to its show records. It’s important to have the American results to look at, and it allows us to track the athletes better. We still struggle to get the data that we need. For example, for riders competing at the FEI levels, you can look every Monday morning and see their results from all over the world. For riders at the youth levels who are competing in 1.20m and children, junior, and amateur divisions at national shows, it’s harder to get that data. How do you communicate with the Youth riders? Are there forms of regular communication? We invite the riders and their coaches to send video of their competition rounds. This is another way we are trying to get better at tracking within our committee. But the world we live in is a little strange at this time; I want to have videos sent but in this era of Safe Sport, which we take very seriously, we ask that video footage is funneled through the professionals. We have just spent a week at Thunderbird where they offered numerous Youth divisions. One of our Youth riders, Sarah Tindale, traveled out west with Beth. It was great to see her at a show in the west, to be able to watch her compete, and to catch up with her and her mother in real life. Once you start recognizing the names of the people who have signed up, it’s easier. When they haven’t signed up and aren’t in the system, it’s very difficult to have them on our radar. It’s frustrating when we know of a Youth rider who is doing well, or someone tells us about a certain rider, and we look and see that they haven’t signed up for the program. SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2020 THE WARM-UP RING 2 There have been several Youth Nations’ Cup competitions introduced over the past few years – the Under 25 team event at the Winter Equestrian Festival and the Youth Nations’ Cups at Deeridge, both in Wellington, FL, and at Thunderbird in Langley, BC. How do you select athletes for those teams? For the events in Florida, we like to use kids from the east and we go to Thunderbird with west coast kids. This gives everyone an opportunity to get the experience of competing on a team. At Deeridge, team competition was offered at the Children, Junior and Young Rider levels whereas Thunderbird is only Children and Junior team events. After those two events, you hopefully have a good read on the riders across the country and can take that information and come up with the teams for the NAYC. Is the process for selecting athletes for youth competitions in Florida and Thunderbird any different than when you’re selecting the teams for the North American Youth Championships? There is much more conversation and reaching out to the people you chit-chat with for the NAYC. By that time, there are more results on the ground in Canada to talk about. Florida and Thunderbird are earlier in the year and it’s harder to get a true read on a rider who may be moving up divisions, for example. Florida may be their first competition moving from the Junior to the Young Rider level; the kids may be keen but they are not ready yet or they might have a new horse with no mileage yet. As the season progresses, it gets easier. By the summer, when it comes time to pick the NAYC teams, you have a pretty good read on your horses.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. Yi necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Baseball Diplomacy, Baseball Deployment: the National
    BASEBALL DIPLOMACY, BASEBALL DEPLOYMENT: THE NATIONAL PASTIME IN U.S.-CUBA RELATIONS by JUSTIN W. R. TURNER HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR STEVEN BUNKER LAWRENCE CLAYTON LISA LINDQUIST-DORR RICHARD MEGRAW A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Justin W. R. Turner 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The game of baseball, a shared cultural affinity linking Cuba and the United States, has played a significant part in the relationship between those nations. Having arrived in Cuba as a symbol of growing American influence during the late nineteenth century, baseball would come to reflect the political and economic connections that developed into the 1900s. By the middle of the twentieth century, a significant baseball exchange saw talented Cuban players channeled into Major League Baseball, and American professionals compete in Cuba’s Winter League. The 1959 Cuban Revolution permanently changed this relationship. Baseball’s politicization as a symbol of the Revolution, coupled with political antagonism, an economic embargo, and an end to diplomatic ties between the Washington and Havana governments largely destroyed the U.S.-Cuba baseball exchange. By the end of the 1960s, Cuban and American baseball interactions were limited to a few international amateur competitions, and political hardball nearly ended some of these. During the 1970s, Cold War détente and the success of Ping Pong Diplomacy with China sparked American efforts to use baseball’s common ground as a basis for improving U.S.-Cuba relations.
