  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

  • Cubs 2013 Preview: a Bit Better Pitching, but Rebuilding Still Grinds Along Slowly
    Cubs 2013 preview: A bit better pitching, but rebuilding still grinds along slowly By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, March 29, 2013 Theo Epstein is getting double for his money these days. First, the former lifelong Bostonian is getting a valuable education in Chicago politics as the three- cornered debate over Wrigley Field renovations shows how Clout City USA really works. And yet all the arguments over whether the Cubs should get seri- ous with Rosemont and consider moving if they don’t get a renova- Cubs GM Jed Hoyer (with wife Merrill) and boss Theo Ep- tions deal very soon give Epstein stein have once again constructed a roster that can be and his baseball operations depart- disassembled via mid-season trades. ment a big break. Off-the-field issues involving Wrigley Field, whether the installation of lights, falling concrete or Arne Harris’ hat shots, are always far more than sideshows. They become the main story, relegating the Cubs’ on-field fortunes to notebook status. The taffy pull involving Tom Ricketts, Rahm Emanuel, Tom Tunney, the rooftop owners and the vil- lage of Rosemont absolutely shifted the Cubs’ spring-training countdown to Opening Day to secondary news-angle status. If all focus was on the team itself, the conclusion would be a sub-standard roster with a slew of place-holders that is being intentionally fielded for the second-year in a row. Worse yet, as Epstein vows a rebuilding-from-the-ground-up strategy, there are no pitching phenoms or fresh-faced hot rookies as attention-getters to make the continual losing more palatable.

  • Dugo Se Smatralo Da Trčanje Na Duge Staze Nije Za Žene I Da One Nisu U Stanju Pretrčati Maraton
    Dugo se smatralo da trčanje na duge staze nije za žene i da one nisu u stanju pretrčati maraton. Ključni trenutak u povijesti ženskog trčanja desio se na Bostonskom maratonu 1967. godine. Naime, do tada je ženama bio zabranjen nastup, pa se u trku prijavila Kathrine Switzer, ali sa svojim inicijalima K. V. Switzer, te tako dobila startni broj i platila startninu od 3$ (danas bi platila 250$:)). Trku su pratili i novinari u pratećem otvorenom autobusu i jedan je zamijetio neobične „obline“ ispod trenirke K.V. Switzer i glasno viknuo „Hej, ovaj trkač ne izgleda baš kao Karl“. To je čuo i direktor trke Jock Sample, koji je poludio, sišao iz autobusa i pokušao izgurati Kathrine sa staze i skinuti joj startni broj. Međutim, s njom je trčao njezin dečko koji je pak odgurnuo direktora, a sve su to snimili fotografi koji su bili u tom autobusu, od čega je nastao prvorazredni skandal, popraćen dobrom foto-dokumentacijom. Vijest je odmah izašla u New York Timesu i svim ostalim vodećim dnevnim tiskovinama, pa je cijeli slučaj maksimalno dobio na popularnosti, što je samo ubrzalo žensku trkačku revoluciju. Tek kasnije se saznalo da je godinu dana ranije u Bostonu trčala maraton i Roberta Gibb, ali se nije službeno prijavila i trčala je bez startnog broja, pa sve skupa nije dokumentirano. Kathrine Switzer je pak postala heroina ženskog trkačkog pokreta, i kasnije je otrčala 35 maratona (od toga još 7 puta u Bostonu), a jednom je i pobijedila u New Yorku s rezultatom 2:51. Već dvije godine kasnije, u Bostonu su žene službeno mogle trčati maraton (njih četiri), a cijeli slučaj je ubrzao proces uvrštavanja ženskog maratona u olimpijski program (do tada je najduža ženska olimpijska disciplina bila 3000m).
