It was organised by the San Diego Track & Field Club as an alternative to the rigors of training on the track. The race, which took place in San Diego’s Mission Bay, consisted of a 5.3-mile run, followed by a 5-mile bike and a 600-yard swim in the bay. A total of 46 athletes finished that first race. The International Triathlon Union (ITU) was founded in 1989 as the world governing body for triathlon and has been head- quartered in Vancouver, Canada ever since. A total of 30 National Federations attended the first ITU Congress in Avignon, France in 1989. Today there are over 140 affiliated National Federations. The ITU Triathlon World Cup Series began in 1991, staging 11 races in eight countries. The ITU World Triathlon Series was created as ITU’s top tier race series in 2009, staging multiple rounds in iconic cities across the globe. Triathlon was awarded full Olympic Games medal status by the IOC at its Congress in Paris in 1994, and made its debut in the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. TRIATHLON’S OLYMPIC HISTORY Triathlon grew rapidly from its humble beginnings in San Diego and within a matter of years it became one of the fastest growing sports around the world. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was intrigued by the sport’s meteoric growth and in 1988 began discussions to include triathlon in the Olympic Games programme. Then IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch arranged a meeting in Stockholm that year with the intention of including triathlon in the Olympic Games as soon as possible. At that meeting, Canadian Les McDonald was selected as President to a working committee for triathlon, while Sweden’s Sture Jonasson was elected as Secretary. Triathlon was officially added to the Olympic programme by the IOC at its Congress in Paris in 1994. Triathlon made its official Olympic Games debut in Sydney, where Simon Whitfield and Brigitte McMahon stamped their names into the history books as the first gold medallists. In Athens, it was Hamish Carter and Kate Allen’s golden turn before Emma Snowsill and Jan Frodeno won the gold in Beijing. Overall, Australia is on top of the Olympic medal tally with a total of four. As well as Snowsill’s gold, Australian women have collected two silver medals and one bronze. New Zealand and Switzerland have three medals each, each with one gold, then Canada and Germany have two medals. Both of Canada’s medals belong to Whitfield. Austria, the Czech Republic and the USA currently have one medal each. A total of 13 athletes competed in each of the three editions in triathlon at the Olympics before London. In the men’s, Whitfield, Ivan Rana (ESP), Hunter Kemper (USA), Reto Hug (SUI), Tim Don (GBR), Andriy Gluschenko (UKR), Csaba Kuttor (HUN), Olivier Marceau (SUI), Juraci Moreira (BRA), Volodymyr Polikarpenko (UKR) and Filip Ospaly (CZE) all competed in Sydney, Athens and Beijing. In the women’s field, there were just two – Japan’s Kiyomi Niwata and Germany’s Anja Dittmer. In London, less than a handful of those athletes will join the revered four consecutive Olympic Games club: Whitfield, Kemper and Dittmer. 2012 ITU OLYMPIC MEDIA GUIDE 5 NEW FOR LONDON 2012 Penalty Box - The major rule change from Beijing to the London Olympic Games is the introduction of a penalty box. Time penalties may be given during the race for minor infringements such as equipment outside the designated box in transition, or early or late dismount from the bike. Before, athletes were shown a red card in transition and had to stop on the spot for the appropriate time, now time penalties incurred during the race must be served in a designated box on course. For a full list of infringements, see the ITU Rules at www.triathlon.org/about/downloads/category/competition_rules/ ITU WORLD TRIATHLON SERIES The ITU World Triathlon Series (WTS) was introduced in 2009, creating a series of world championship races rather than a single-day world championship. The series sees the world’s top triathletes competing head-to-head for rankings points that determine the overall ITU world champion, with media and fans able to watch from everywhere with a live international broadcast feed available from every event. The series has so far been staged in 14 of the world’s most amazing cities includ- ing Beijing, Budapest, Gold Coast, Hamburg, Kitzbühel, Lausanne, London, Madrid, San Diego, Seoul, Sydney, Tongyeong, Washington, Yokohama. This year the series travels to Stockholm and Auckland for the first time. A total of $2.06-million USD will be available for elite athletes racing the 2012 ITU World Triathlon Series, the first time the prize pool has topped two million since the series started. 6 2012 ITU OLYMPIC MEDIA GUIDE Qualification SUMMARY THE JOURNEY TO THE OLYMPIC GAMES There are a total of 110 spots in the triathlon events at the London 2012 Olympics: 55 men and 55 women. ITU’s interna- tional triathlon circuit, which includes the ITU World Triathlon Series (WTS), World Cups and Continental Championships, is where athletes competed for Olympic qualification. The qualification took place over a two-year period, from 1 June 2010 until 31 May 2012. Athletes collected ITU Olympic qualification points to secure a place for their country on the start line. With a total of 55 places in the men’s and women’s races, a maximum of eight National Olympic Committees (NOCs) could qualify three places. Other NOCs can qualify a maximum of two. The next step is for athletes to qualify for their country’s Olympic team based on the criteria set by their National Federations. The majority of Olympic slots are decided through the ITU Olympic qualification points list. National Federations can also gain spots if one of their athletes wins a Continental Championship, through the qualification and test event in London 2011, and through New Flag slots – in which the ITU awards berths to one country per continent, that would otherwise not have a slot. In all, a record number of 39 NOCs had qualified spots at the triathlon competition for London 2012, the highest number ever for triathlon at an Olympic Games. In Beijing 2008, there were 36 NOCs that had qualified positions. Prior to that, there

  • History of the Commonwealth Games
    GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games. Competing Countries (11) Australia, Bermuda, British Guiana (now Guyana), Canada, England, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.

Hall of Fame 1 INTRODUCTION The scottishathletics Hall of Fame was launched at the Track and Field Championships in August 2005. Olympic gold medallists Allan Wells and Eric Liddell were the inaugural inductees to the scottishathletics Hall of Fame. Wells, the 1980 Olympic 100 metres gold medallist, was there in person to accept the award, as was Patricia Russell, the daughter of Liddell, whose triumph in the 400 metres at the 1924 Olympic Games was an inspiration behind the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. The legendary duo were nominated by a specially-appointed panel consisting of Andy Vince, Joan Watt and Bill Walker of scottishathletics, Mark Hollinshead, Managing Director of Sunday Mail and an on-line poll conducted via the scottishathletics website. The on-line poll resulted in the following votes: 31% voting for Allan Wells, 24% for Eric Liddell and 19% for Liz McColgan. Liz was inducted into the Hall of Fame the following year, along with the Olympic gold medallist Wyndham Halswelle.

  • A 40 Year History
    New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association National Secondary School Cross Country Championships A 40 Year History Introduction The New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association is proud to publish a forty- year history of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships. Participation in the event between 1974 and 2013 totals well over 10,000 athletes from all but a handful of schools from around the country. With an annual involvement of over 1000 students it has become one of the largest secondary school sporting events in New Zealand. The idea for this document was born during the 1995 NZSSCC Championships in Masterton. At this time (before the internet), results were published in a hard copy booklet. In this particular year the first three place getters in the individual, and three and six person team categories were published for the first twenty-one years of the events history. This accompanied the full set of 1995 results. After this event, the majority of results were published electronically. Unfortunately, many of these results were lost in the mid to late nineties because there was no dedicated NZSSAA website. Sincere thanks need to be given to Don Chadderton for providing the first twenty years’ of results. Without these early results a significant part of athletics New Zealand’s history would have eventually been forgotten. These include the 1974 performance of Alison Rowe, who would later go on to win both the 1981 Boston and New York marathons. As well as Burnside High School’s 1978 performance in the junior boys event where they completed the perfect three-man score of six points.
