This week sees more great walking on the Australian front and I have highlighted 4 of the many outstanding walks for voting. • NSW/AIS walker Luke Adams confirmed his place for next year's IAAF World Championships with a win in the Australian 50km championship last Sunday. Luke won this title in 2010 and was back on the podium again with his time of 3:57:24. • NSWIS walker Ian Rayson also knocked out an A qualifier for next year's IAAF World Championships with his second place time of 4:00:39 in the same race. Ian was in two minds as to whether to do the 50km or the 20km event on Sunday but he obviously made the right choice! • 17 year old Queenslander Jesse Osborne walked a 57 sec PB to win the Junior 10km invitational walk at Fawkner Park, his time of 43:18 a huge improvement on his 44:15, walked at this year's World Walking Cup in Russia.

These cards are the opposite of the infamous red and yellow cards shown by referees for breaking the rules. The Fair Play Card may be given to a player who does not commit a foul or quarrel with the referee, who acknowledges his or her breach of the rules or behaves fairly in a critical situation during a sports match and they may also be given to a coach, parent or teacher.

  • The Effective Use of Heritage Sites of the Major Sporting Events in Russia
    Proceeding Supplementary Issue: Autumn Conferences of Sports Science. Costa Blanca Sports Science Events, 18-19 December 2020. Alicante, Spain. The effective use of heritage sites of the major sporting events in Russia OLEG ALEKSANDROVICH BUNAKOV1 , DMITRY VLADIMIROVICH RODNYANSKY1, BORIS MOJSHEVICH EIDELMAN1, ELENA VALERIEVNA GRIGORIEVA1, TIMOFEY VASILYEVICH BASHLYKOV2 1Institute of Management, Economics and Finance, Kazan Federal University, Russian Federation 2Department of Economics, Management and Marketing, Kazan Federal University, Russian Federation ABSTRACT This article dwells on the positive and negative experience of using facilities remaining after the major sporting events in the country. The authors analyse the use of stadiums built for the FIFA World Cup, as well as the facilities of Kazan involved during the Universiade 2013. The research resulted in the conclusion about the necessity as far back at the designing stage to study both the relevancy of the sporting venue during the event and its potential usage afterwards. The authors make a point that there is a positive emotional effect, which is revealed in the growth of tourism, and increasing the attractiveness of the territory for local residents. The results obtained can be useful for cities and countries that have yet to host major sports events. Keywords: Heritage sites; Effective use; Sporting events. Cite this article as: Bunakov, O.A., Rodnyansky, D.V., Eidelman, B.M., Grigorieva, E.V., & Bashlykov, T.V. (2021). The effective use of heritage sites of the major sporting events in Russia.

  • Kesarev Memo | New Russian Government | January 2020
    Kesarev phone: +32 (2) 899 4699 e-mail: [email protected] www.kesarev.com NEW RUSSIAN CABINET: STAFF “REVOLUTION” INSTEAD OF STRUCTURAL REFORMS? Summary On January 21, 2020, President Putin approved the structure of the new Russian Government and appointed Deputy Prime Ministers and federal Ministers. New Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was appointed on January 16. What are the key specifics of the new Cabinet? The key specific feature of the new Russian Cabinet is that while the structural changes are minimal, the staff reshuffles proved to be radical, both in terms of the number of new people appointed to top offices and change of political status of key Cabinet members (how close they are to the President). This is an extremely atypical decision for Putin, compared to previous Cabinets over the entire period of his stay in power. Earlier, as a rule, the Cabinets included influential figures close to the President and personally associated with him, and a system of checks and balances between different elite groups existed. But at the same time, the decision to change the approach to the Cabinet appointments is logical in the context of a broader presidential “staff policy” over recent years - the so-called “technocratisation” of power (the appointment of young “technocratic” governors, the penetration of such figures into Medvedev’s second Cabinet, the appointment of the head of the Presidential Administration, a “technocrat” Anton Vayno during the Parliamentary election campaign in 2016 and the launch of “Leaders of Russia” contest in order to select and train a “succession pool” for the top positions in the federal and regional civil bureaucracy).
