Bobsleigh CANADA Skeleton
Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton (BCS) is the national governing body for the sports of bobsleigh and skeleton in Canada and we’re here to create, nurture and support World and Olympic champions, period! BCS will lead our entire Canadian community in the pursuit of becoming and sustaining the mantle of the leading bobsleigh and skeleton nation in the world. BCS directly will endeavor to do this by focusing on four critical areas: programs, process, people and planning. These four areas will provide the cornerstones to all strategic directions and initiatives. A hallmark of the BCS future is that it will be recognized as a performance-based culture, with a supporting performance management mindset. History of the Sport Montrealers may have pointed toboggans downhill on the famous Tuque Bleue slide in the 1870s, but it was the Swiss who later attached a steering mechanism to the toboggan and gave birth to the sport of Bobsleigh. In 1897 the world's first Bobsleigh club was founded in St. Moritz, Switzerland. By 1914 more than 100 natural-ice courses of varying degrees of sophistication could be found at winter resorts throughout alpine Europe. Frequently Asked Questions Bobsleigh teams consist of a brakeman and a pilot in the two-man/women event and a brakeman, two crewmen and a pilot in the four-man. Bobsleigh athletes will travel at speeds near 150 km per hour with 5 G’s of force on some of the corners. Skeleton athletes will travel at speeds near 130 km per hour head first! Canadian Team Performance Although Bobsleigh was one of the original sports at the first Winter Olympic Games in 1924, it wasn't until the late 1950's that Canadian bobsledders began competing internationally. -
Platz Sieben Für Alexander Mann Im Viererbob in Whistler
Pressemitteilung der Sportschule Fürstenfeldbruck-Puch GmbH 28.02.2010 Platz sieben für Alexander Mann im Viererbob in Whistler Erfolgreiches Olympiadebüt eines jungenTeams – André Lange holt Silber Olympia ist der große Traum eines jeden Athleten – für viele Bobfahrer aber wurde die Bahn in Whistler zum Verhängnis. Sechs Stürze in den ersten beiden Läufen sind ein nahezu unglaubliches Ergebnis, das den Bundestrainer der Damen dazu veranlasste, in der ARD nach dem ersten Tag für einen Abbruch des Wettkampfes zu plädieren, denn er sorgte sich um die deutschen Fahrer. „Das Rennen avanciert zur Farce“, sagt er. In der gefährlichen Kurve 13, „Fifty-Fifty“ genannt, stürzten auch erfahrene Weltklassepiloten und Medaillenkandidaten wie der Russe Alexandr Zubkov mit seinem Viererbob. Die Bahn in Whistler verzeihe keine Fehler, hatte Medizinstudent und Coach der Sportschule Fürstenfeldbruck-Puch, Alexander Mann, nach den Trainingsläufen gesagt und damit Recht behalten: bereits ein paar Hundertstel Zeitverlust am Start und kleine Bandenberührungen oder eine nicht hundertprozentig ideale Linie gerade in den Kurven elf bis dreizehn sorgen für einen zu hohen Zeitverlust und entscheiden über die Medaillen. Als das Quartett mit Karl Angerer, Alexander Mann, Andreas Bredau und Gregor Bermbach nach vier Läufen heil im Ziel ankam, jubelten alle und waren zufrieden – sie hatten eine konstante und souveräne Leistung gezeigt, auf einer unkalkulierbaren Bahn und unter nicht ganz idealen personellen Voraussetzungen. Denn im Bob von Karl Angerer (WSV Königssee) sollte eigentlich Alexander Rödiger aus dem Team von André Lange auf Position zwei sitzen, Alexander Mann hätte statt Andreas Bredau auf Position drei anschieben sollen. Doch bei Langes Stammanschieber René Hoppe trat eine alte Muskelverletzung in der Wade erneut auf, so dass Rödiger für das letzte Rennen in der Karriere von André Lange wieder in dessen Bob wechselte und mit ihm die Silbermedaille gewann. -

There Are Peaks and Valleys in Any Olympic Journey, and That Is Certainly True of Canada’S Bobsleigh and Skeleton Athletes During the 2013-14 Olympic Year
Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton – 2014 AGM Chief Executive Officers Report With a stated mission of developing world and Olympic champions, Kaillie and Heather’s historic repeat as Olympic Champions was indeed the central achievement for Bobsleigh CANADA Skeleton. A recap of season by our media consultant, Chris Dornan, shows the highlights in review: There are peaks and valleys in any Olympic journey, and that is certainly true of Canada’s bobsleigh and skeleton athletes during the 2013-14 Olympic year. A team mixed with high-powered, medal winning veterans combined with a youthful energy and drive, the competition began in October for many of our nation’s best athletes in hopes of earning a spot on the World Cup and Olympic squads. Canada’s bobsleigh athletes led the way to the World Cup podium beginning with the season-opener in Calgary. Kaillie Humphries continued her electrifying medal winning streak with a gold in Calgary while reuniting with 2010 Olympic gold medal winning brakeman, Heather Moyse. Kaillie drove the dynamic duo to a second straight Overall World Cup title with three gold, one-silver and a bronze medal before successfully defending their Olympic title in Sochi. Depth may be the best way to describe the men’s bobsleigh team. The newly formed duo of Chris Spring and Jesse Lumsden wasted no time making a statement with a third- place finish at the Calgary World Cup. While they did not find their way back to the podium again last year, for the first time ever Canada had three men’s sleds all slide into the World Cup medals. -

Who Belongs to the Nation? Sport, Migration and Citizenship Changes 1
Who Belongs to the Nation? Sport, Migration and Citizenship Changes 1 Gijsbert Oonk and Gijs van Campenhout Erasmus School of History Culture and Communication This is a work in progress article for the Sport and Nation project at the Erasmus University. Website: www.sportandnation.com Correspondence: [email protected] Please do not quote without prior permission of the authors. Summary In this article we demonstrate that states and sport federations stretch the rules and justifications for ‘national belonging’ for highly skilled migrant athletes in order to be allowed to represent the nation in the Olympics or national teams. An increasing number of athletes who represent the state do not belong to ‘the nation’. The correlation between citizenship, nation and state has been called into question over the last few decades. States increasingly accept ‘imported’ or migrated talent to promote the name and fame of the nation. On the one hand, this increases the freedom of mobility and options for talented athletes. However, on the other hand, if nations wish to increase their chances in sport by allowing non-nationals to earn their medals, something is lost in the nation. This stretching of the concept of belonging can be seen as a global continuum where, on one side of the spectrum there is maximum of historical ties and ancestral relationships, that includes jus sangui s and jus soli and on the other side of the spectrum there is no-prior relationship with the adopted nation. We propose six categories of relationship between migrant athletes and the nation. Within these categories there is, however, room for variation. -

Canadian Sliders Carving Winning Path 2/02/06 8:41
The Globe and Mail: Canadian sliders carving winning path 2/02/06 8:41 Advertise on this site OLYMPICS TURIN WINTER GAMES Canadian sliders carving winning path Jamaican-born Brown granted citizenship; skeleton crew collects World Cup medals BY JAMES CHRISTIE AND ALLAN MAKI SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 2006 PAGE S5 Canada's ice sliders are riding an avalanche of good news and World Cup medals all the way to the Turin Winter Olympics. In bobsleigh, Jamaican-born Lascelles Brown could scarcely contain his joy yesterday after he was granted Canadian citizenship by a cabinet order-in-council. The 31-year-old can officially don Canada's uniform as the powerful pusher and brakeman of the Olympic two-man and four-man sleds driven by Pierre Lueders. Meanwhile, Helen Upperton of Calgary drove the Canadian women's sled to its first-ever World Cup gold-medal finish and fourth podium finish of the season at St. Moritz, Switzerland. In the daring sport of skeleton, Mellisa Hollingsworth-Richards of Eckville, Alta., remained on top of the World Cup skeleton rankings and maintained a 6-for-6 record of podium finishes after yesterday's silver-medal placing on the classic natural ice chute of St. Moritz. Lindsay Alcock of Calgary took the third spot. The pair completed a full set of hardware in the sport of head-first human torpedoes, as Calgary veteran Jeff Pain grabbed gold in the men's event the day before. The long-awaited news about Brown had to be accomplished by a cabinet order and came on deadline, as an election looms on Monday. -
