1959 Chicago 1 host to the pAN AMERICAN GAMES N. BOLETIN OFICIAL As Mayor, in the name of the people of Chicago, I extend thanks to all who have had a part in the conduct of the Third Pan Amer­ ican Games. Chicago was honored to be the host city, and it is particularly gratifying that in half the time ordinarily allotted for planning and readying for the Games our city was able to prepare the facilities needed. We are very grateful to those men and women of the Chicago area, identified with the world of sports, who gave so generously of their time and knowledge to make the Games the success they were. Chicago was fortunate to have in the ranks of its sports committees athletic leaders whose competence could not be surpassed anywhere in the world. To have been able to make a contribution toward the perpetua­ tion of the Games and to have been able to afford the young athletes who participated the opportunity to meet in friendly competition is pleasing to us. Mayor side the Gately Stadium, utilizing the existing stadium seats for spectators. Through the generous cooperation of Ragnor Benson, one of Chicago’s major building con­ tractors, it was possible to complete this project for $50,000.00. To provide shooting ranges built to interna­ tional competition specifications it was necessary to go well outside the city limits of Chicago. The City of Waukegan offered to make available a site on the shore of Lake Michigan. This proved to.be a major engineering and construction .job, . Tons and tons of earth had to be moved, and were it not for generous contributions of materials, equipment and services, the range would have cost an astronomical figure. As it was, more than one hundred thousand dollars in cash had to be expended.

  • SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13
    1964 MEN Trials were held in Los Angeles on September 12/13, some 5 weeks before the Games, after semi-final Trials were held at Travers Island in early July with attendances of 14,000 and 17,000 on the two days.

However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.

  • All Time Men's World Ranking Leader
    All Time Men’s World Ranking Leader EVER WONDER WHO the overall best performers have been in our authoritative World Rankings for men, which began with the 1947 season? Stats Editor Jim Rorick has pulled together all kinds of numbers for you, scoring the annual Top 10s on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. First, in a by-event compilation, you’ll find the leaders in the categories of Most Points, Most Rankings, Most No. 1s and The Top U.S. Scorers (in the World Rankings, not the U.S. Rankings). Following that are the stats on an all-events basis. All the data is as of the end of the 2019 season, including a significant number of recastings based on the many retests that were carried out on old samples and resulted in doping positives.

  • October 2020 Newsletter
    Ireland's Approach to Women, Peace and Security Newsletter October 2020 We would like to warmly welcome you to this newsletter as we mark Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Month and the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325. It is a time to celebrate what the WPS agenda has achieved, but also for honest reflection on remaining challenges and the way ahead. While there have been landmark achievements in the last 20 years, women peacebuilders in the field are calling for a renewed commitment to more effective implementation and a considerable change of pace. WPS Annual Open Debate As we approach the WPS Open Debate on 29 October, let us recall the words of our Permanent Representative to the United Nations at the last debate in 2019: “The fact is, those who wage wars – not, in the main, women – continue to set the parameters for peace. Without women. Quite apart from the inequality this reinforces, let’s be clear. It is also fundamentally ineffective as a peacebuilding approach. We have the evidence that peace is more durable when women have participated in its negotiation... Put simply, WPS ought to be part of all our peacebuilding work. In this chamber, that means part of every mandate renewal, of every geographic and thematic discussion, of every local consultation, of every analysis completed in the field.” Upcoming Events GNWP Database Launch event We would like to invite all of the readers to the launch of a database on the role of women in peacebuilding during the Covid-19 pandemic, developed with Ireland’s support by our partners the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders and UN Women (register here).
