  • C'e' Chi Dice Miller, C'e' Chi Sogna Fill
    ! C’E’ CHI DICE MILLER, C’E’ CHI SOGNA FILL Domattina la discesa sulla Stelvio con gli azzurri tra i protagonisti - Il pronostico di Christof Innerhofer - Tra i favoriti oltre all’americano e all’altoatesino anche l’austriaco Hannes Reichelt, vincitore della passata edizione, e il leader di Coppa del Mondo, Aksel Lund Svindal ! BORMIO, 28 DICEMBRE 2013 - Eccezionalmente l’anno scorso a Bormio hanno vinto in due. Dominik Paris domani darà forfait: ha ancora un polpaccio ammaccato e non vuole rischiare nell’anno olimpico. L’altro, Hannes Reichelt, invece ci sarà e pure oggi, nella seconda giornata di prove cronometrate della discesa di Coppa del Mondo, è stato tra i più veloci “su una pista più veloce di ieri”. Solo Erik Guay, il funambolico canadese trionfatore nell’ultima libera in Val Gardena, l’ha battuto di una manciata di centesimi di secondo. Eppure, a sentire Christof Innerhofer, che non ha peli sulla lingua, altri sono i favoriti della discesa sulla mitica Stelvio. “Mi chiedi tre nomi? E io te li faccio subito: nell’ordine Bode Miller, Peter Fill e Aksel Lund Svindal”. E Reichelt? “Sì lo so, qui ha vinto l’anno scorso, ma tu vuoi sapere i primi tre e io te li ho detti. Comunque appena giù dal podio c’è lui, facciamo quarto, e Guay quinto”. E tu? “Non è mai bello parlare di se stessi. Io sto bene, sono in forma e non importa se domani arrivo decimo, quindicesimo o terzo. Nello sci bisogna essere anche fortunati. Specie su questa pista che non ti permette di sbagliare mai.

  • Report on World Anti-Doping Agency Governance As Required by House Report 116-456 May 17, 2021
    EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY Washington, DC 20503 Report on World Anti-Doping Agency Governance as required by House Report 116-456 May 17, 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) is pleased to have this opportunity to update Members of Congress on the fight against doping and the ongoing efforts at governance reform within the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). As the sole international regulatory body against doping in sport, WADA has a unique responsibility to ensure that international competitions, especially the Olympic and Paralympic Games, are fairly conducted with the highest possible standards of integrity. Significant additional reforms to the way WADA is structured and operates are required to ensure that the organization is able operate with “independence and transparency of its operations, enhancing the role of athletes in WADA decision-making, and restoring confidence in clean competition.”1 ONDCP recognizes that this degree of change is challenging to accomplish and will require dialogue and cooperation among all key stakeholders. This Report provides an overview of the threat of doping and related corruption to sport (Section 1); then describes the progress of reform at WADA to date (Section 2); and follows with a discussion of the top ten reform challenges faced by WADA and its stakeholders, accompanied by a roadmap on how to begin addressing them (Section 3). It is WADA’s job to monitor anti-doping programs including drug testing, not just during the Olympics, but year-round. Elite athletes who participate in doping often do so with the assistance of highly skilled scientists who carefully develop protocols to reduce or eliminate the chances they will be caught.

    THE THIN LINE: Life on the Edge Skier Biographies BODE MILLER Bode Miller burst onto the World Cup scene as an 18-year-old in 1996 and first gained widespread recognition when he won two silver medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics in the Giant Slalom and Combined events. Miller has won a total of four gold medals and one silver medal at the World Championships. In the 2004/2005 Season, Miller won his first overall FIS World Cup title, outlasting Austrian Benjamin Raich. In the 2006/07 Season, Miller finished 4th overall and won the Super G title. In May 2007, Miller announced that he was leaving the U.S. Ski Team to race as an independent. PICABO STREET One of the most prolific women’s racers to ever grace the U.S. Ski Team, Picabo Street was most definitely a ski racing personality. The native of tiny Triumph, Idaho announced her retirement from competition following the 2002 women’s Olympic downhill at Snowbasin, Utah, ending a career that included nine career World Cup victories, the 1995 and 1996 World Cup downhill discipline titles and a trio of World Championships medals to go along with her two Olympic medals, including the Super-G gold at the 1998 Nagano Games. In addition, Street collected a total of four U.S. National titles during her illustrious career, despite being injured and away from ski racing for two years.

ZGODBO ZLATE LISICE PIŠEMO SKUPAJ Za nas Štajerce, ki smo Pohorje vedno imeli pred očmi, je Zlata lisica zmeraj pomenila najpomembnejšo športno prireditev v vsakem letu in za naše športne junakinje smo vedno srčno in glasno navijali. Na Pohorje sem se sicer vselej z največjim veseljem vračal, pa če je šlo za dnevno smučarijo, poletne priprave namiznoteniškega kluba ali pa le ob pogledu iz družinskega vinograda, ko se pred očmi za Ptujskim in Dravskim poljem razgrne v vsej mogočnosti. Čeravno sem sam zgolj rekreativni smučar in sem bil tekmovalno zapisan namiznemu tenisu, občudujem vse slovenske športnice in športnike, ki s trdim delom predano sledijo postavljenim ciljem, imajo najvišje ambicije in dosegajo izjemne rezultate v svetovnem merilu. V športu je vse jasno in običajno ni prostora za iskanje izgovorov. Podobno filozofijo gojijo tudi slovenske podjetnice in podjetniki, ki dosegajo vse boljše rezultate v globalni konkurenci. Vnaprej se veselim časa, ko si bomo tudi v oblastnih strukturah in Za to skrbimo na več načinov.
