    A NEWSLETTER FOR OUR DONORS | ISSUE 5 | DEC. 2014 TORONTO 2015 PAN AM GAMES APPROACH + CANADA WINTER COMPETITION GAMES + HEAD TO PRINCE GEORGE DAILY TRAINING COACHING + + + EQUIPMENT SPORT SCIENCE NUTRITION HELP BUILD AN OLYMPIAN THIS hoLIDAY SEASON 2015 has been declared the “Year of Sport” in Canada. This declaration by the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, celebrates the important role of sport in our Canadian identity. It is an apt title, as in 2015 Canada hosts both the Canada Winter Games and the Pan Am Games. While both events will see amazing competition from incredible Canadian athletes, the two events are very different. The Canada Winter Games are hosted on the west coast in beautiful Prince George, British Columbia, and will see fierce competition among Canada’s finest young winter sport athletes, who are the next generation of Olympians. By contrast, the Pan Am Games will Winston Chow/COC be hosted in multiple locations in and around Toronto, Ontario, featuring Canada’s world-class athletes competing in summer sports. FROM OUR Your donations are vital to both of these initiatives, as the Canadian Olympic Foundation grants funds to both the Canadian EXECUTIVE Team at the Pan Am Games, and the Canada Games. In this edition of Strive, we feature articles about the impact of the DIRECTOR Canada Games on Canadian athletes, and offer a sneak peek into the preparations for the Pan Am Games.

  • A Rövidpályás Gyorskorcsolyázás Hazai Története
    A RÖVIDPÁLYÁS GYORSKORCSOLYÁZÁS HAZAI TÖRTÉNETE Bevezetés A rövidpályás gyorskorcsolyázás, közismert megnevezéssel a short track első hivatalos világ- bajnokságát 1978-ban rendezték az angliai Solihullban, majd 1988-ban Calgaryban, a Téli Olimpiai Játékokon szerepelt bemutató versenyszámként. A következő olimpián, 1992-ben: Albertville-ben már teljes jogú sportágként szerepelt az olimpiai programban, s ahol már magyar versenyzők (Kaszala Tamara és Kun Bálint Tibor) is rajthoz álltak. Azonban micsoda fejlődésen ment keresztül ez a sportág. Hiszen, ha a sportág első világbajnokságán az 500 méteres döntő eredményeit és a 2016. évi világbajnokság döntőjét összehasonlítjuk, akkor láthatóvá válik ez az óriási fejlődés: 1978 2016 1. Alan Rattray (USA) 47.090 1. Liu Shaolin Sándor (HUN) 41.485 2. Harry Spragg (GBR) 47.420 2. Dajing Wu (CHN) 41.550 3. Jim Lynch (AUS) 47.610 3. Liu Shaoang (HUN) 41.994 4. Hirosi Toda (JPN) 1:02.270 4. Yi Ra Seo (KOR) 42.157 Ezzel összegezhetnénk a rövidpályás gyorskorcsolyázás szenzációs karrierjét a nemzetközi porondon és Magyarországon is. Idehaza 1985-től számoljuk a short track-es "időszámítást", amikor a Magyar Jégsport Szövetség megbízta Martos Györgyöt, a legsikeresebb és legered- ményesebb volt nagypályás gyorskorcsolyázót - tizenötszörös magyar bajnokunkat - az új szakág megszervezésével. Ezek után a rövidpályás gyorskorcsolyázás hazai fejlődését ugyancsak "szenzációs"-nak kell titulálnunk a nemzetközi short track élethez viszonyítva. Hiszen a semmiből született meg az új szakág, először a budapesti iskolás-sportra építve, majd egyre jobban bevonva a vidék dinamikusan fejlődő korcsolyasportját. Vagyis Martos György a volt nagypályás gyorskorcsolyázókkal karöltve kitűnő munkát végzett. Magyar Bajnokságot a rövidpályás gyorskorcsolyázásban csak 1989-ben bonyolították le először, mert ezt megelőzően bár 1986-tól több verseny volt, de ezek közül egyik sem volt a sportág bajnoksága.

  • ISU World Cup Short Track Speed Skating Rolls Into Montréal This Weekend - and Canada’S Fans of the Sport Have a Lot to Look Forward To
    November 6, 2019 Montréal, Canada Canadians look to dominate on home ice The ISU World Cup Short Track Speed Skating rolls into Montréal this weekend - and Canada’s fans of the sport have a lot to look forward to. Local girl Kim Boutin is in the form of her life. The 24-year-old secured six gold medals at the Canadian Nationals in September and obliterated the 500m World Record last weekend with the first Ladies’ sub 42-second skate at Salt Lake City’s Utah Olympic Oval. The next step for Boutin is to try to skate her way to become the No.1 Ladies’ Short Track Speed Skating athlete – a tough ask, with the likes of Suzanne Schulting (NED) and Choi Min Jeong (KOR) on the circuit. Boutin has already changed her training methods to try to achieve this dream. On home ice this weekend will be a great time to show that she means business. Boutin also won the 1500m gold in Salt Lake City, ahead of ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Champion Schulting, and added Relay bronze – ably supported by her Canada team-mates Claudia Gagnon, Danae Blais and Alyson Charles. Canada’s Men will almost certainly be in contention this weekend, too. In Charles Hamelin they have a legendary racer who can still threaten podiums, while 22-year-old Steven Dubois looks like the country’s future. Dubois, like Boutin, took six golds at the Canadian Short Track Speed Skating Championships, and should feel confident rolling that form into Montréal’s Maurice-Richard arena.
