    4 olympics MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 2012 CHINA DAILY Wu equals medals record with 3m triumph By ROBERT SMITH in London Agence France-Presse China’s Wu Minxia won the women’s 3m springboard diving gold medal to draw level with Guo Jingjing as the most-decorated div- er at the Olympics with six medals on Sunday. World champion Wu totaled 414.00 points from her fi ve dives to beat teammate He Zi (379.20) and Mexico’s Laura Sanchez (362.40). Wu’s victory was China’s fi ft h gold medal from fi ve events as it attempts an unprecedented sweep of all eight diving medals in London. China won seven out of eight diving events at the Beijing Games four years ago, having won all 10 diving gold medals at last year’s Shanghai World Championships. Wu reeled off an impeccable back 2.5 somersault on her last dive to clinch the gold medal with a score of 85.50. She led aft er the opening round with 79.50 for a back 2.5 somer- sault from Italy’s Tania Cragnotto and He. He nailed 83.70 for a forward 3.5 somersault to take the lead from Wu (79.75) with Cragnotto drop- ping back to third. But Wu retrieved the lead with a gem forward 3.5 somersault that netted her 85.25. Another exquisite dive, a reverse 2.5 somersault, earned Wu 84.00 to give her a 13.50 points buffer over He going into the fifth and fi nal round. Wu, who won the synchronized 3m springboard with He, made sure of her fi rst individual Olympic gold medal with her showstopper fi nal dive to beat her teammate by 34.80 points.

In The News Healthy after kidney transplant, Aries Merritt returns to world championships and finishes second behind Aleec Harris in the 110-meter hurdles. SACRAMENTO, California. — Aries Merritt will be making a return to the world championships. This time, with a working kidney. The world-record holder Merritt finished second behind Aleec Harris in the 110-meter hurdles at the U.S. track and field championships Sunday. His place — as long as it was top three — didn’t really matter. He just wanted a spot. Harris proved uncatchable as he finished in 13.24 seconds. Merritt was 0.07 seconds behind. Merritt won bronze at the 2015 world championships in Beijing with his kidneys barely functioning because of a genetic disorder. He received the transplant from his sister less than a week later. Now healthy, he’s ready to see what he can do with worlds being held at the venue where he won an Olympic gold medal during the 2012 London Games. “I always felt once I was healthy, all it would take is for me to put in the work,” Merritt ex- plained. “That’s something I’ve been lacking. I haven’t been able to put in the work in two years.” Merritt, 31, said he knew he would make a strong return, although he encountered many scep- tics.

  • IAAF Diamond League Media Information Guide 2013 Www
    IAAF Diamond League Media Information Guide 2013 www.diamondleague.com 1/37 INTRODUCTION With the creation of the IAAF Diamond League we set out to reinvent the one-day meeting structure of our sport, to bring clarity to the top tier circuit of international invitational competition which takes place outside the IAAF World Championships and Olympic Games. While there remain many challenges ahead if we are to make further advances and cement the IAAF Diamond League’s position as one of the world’s major sports series, we firmly believe that we have made an exceptionally good start in the first three years of the new competition structure. The IAAF Diamond League has a worldwide audience and a broadcasting reach undreamt by the Golden League series which preceded it. Thanks to a 14 meeting circuit which covers Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the USA, a competition programme that includes virtually the full spectrum of Olympic track and field disciplines, the guarantee of the world’s greatest athletes battling to win 8 Million Dollars in prize money, accumulating points season long to win their event’s Diamond Race Trophy, the IAAF Diamond League has captured the public’s imagination like no other non-championship athletics competition. I eagerly look forward to the 2013 season of the IAAF Diamond League which commences in Doha and concludes at the end of August and beginning of September with the finals in Zurich and Brussels.

  • 2017-2018 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2017 - 2018 Table of Contents 01 Report from the Chair 4 02 Directors, Chairs, Committees & Staff 6 03 Terms of Reference 11 04 Committee Reports 24 05 Provincial & Territorial Reports 50 06 External Representation Reports 64 07 Sponsorship Report 74 08 Communications Report 76 09 Financial Report 79 10 Partners 93 01 Report from the Chair I’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the breadth and depth of the work done by Volleyball Canada in the 2017-18 year. As is evident by this Annual Report, we have made great strides in many areas, and there is still so much more work to be done. Highlights for me, especially as a men’s national team alumnus, include the men’s bronze medal at the 2017 World League finals and that team’s World Championship qualification. As well, it’s great to see the women’s indoor team progress at its home base in Richmond, and convincingly beating Cuba to qualify for the World Championships last fall. Needless to say, we’ve seen world-class strides made on the beach side over the past several years – for the first time having a world number 1 ranked team on the beach tour on the women’s side this past year, and both the men and women medaling at the first-ever Commonwealth Games beach tournament in Australia. Our sitting athletes are a constant source of inspiration to so many, including myself, and it’s great to see them working so hard toward Paralympic Games qualification. I was also very impressed by the work done leading up to and including the major Nationals event in Edmonton.
