ALOHA AND WELCOME TO MAUI - THE MAGIC ISLE In 1996 mountain biking and triathlon met in a duel of the fittest on the island of Maui. The race consisted of a rough water swim, a mountain bike race, and a trail run. It represented a bold new racing format that attracted outdoor enthusiasts, adventure seekers, mountain bikers and triathletes. The mountain bikers brought their laid-back style and bold self-assurance. The triathletes brought their hard-core training and avid dedication. They soon discovered a common “Live More” spirit that pulled them together. The relationship flourished into an internationally-recognized brand called XTERRA, and today there are tens of thousands of athletes not only taking part in the races, but truly living the lifestyle. A fitting representation of this “XTERRA Tribe” - 725 athletes from 31 countries and 42 U.S. states – is gathered here at Kapalua Resort on Maui’s northwest coast; and on Sunday, October 28 at 9am, they’ll put their mental and physical toughness up against Mother Nature at the 17th running of the XTERRA World Championship. Visit www.XTERRALIVE.com for comprehensive raceday coverage. All the action is being filmed for a one-hour TV special that will be broadcast across the U.S. starting in mid-January 2013.

The experience is a sensory riot featuring fragrant breezes, Pacific blue water, bright yellow sun, soft white sand, fine red dirt, and cool green lawns. Start and Swim: Located at the D.T. Fleming Beach fronting the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, there are plenty of great vantage points to watch the mass start from the lawn above or down on the beach. Pros are easy to spot with their identifying swim caps - men in blue and women in pink. A short beach shuffle mid-race between two 750-meter laps of an “M” shaped course gives spectators a chance to pick out their friends and family from the field. T1 and T2 - Bike and Run Transition: Located a few yards from the swim start in front of the Ritz. The transition area is for competitors only, however, spectators may view the change-over from any position around the boundary. Bike: Unfortunately, there’s really no place to watch the bike aside from the first mile out and back as the entire 18-mile single loop course is on private land and not open to the public. Run: Most of the run course is open to the public (follow the red arrows backwards) but the best spot to watch is the leg-burning section of sand just before the finish line on D.T. Fleming Beach. Finish: The Ritz-Carlton is the place to be for both transitions, the finish, and live race reports.

GENERAL: A thorough review of the Competition System is required due to: a) the growing number of ITU events in Europe; b) the increased number of participants in all categories; c) the growing demands of Paratriathlon being integrated in the sport; d) the increased number of private international event organising companies wanting to align with our system. 3. ETU TRIATHLON EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS: is the main event of ETU. The event package consist of the following races: elite Olympic Distance Triathlon, the junior Sprint Triathlon event, the Age Group OD and sprint Triathlon, the elite and junior mixed relay, an opening ceremony and the organisation of the ETU Annual General Assembly.

  • A 40 Year History
    New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association National Secondary School Cross Country Championships A 40 Year History Introduction The New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association is proud to publish a forty- year history of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships. Participation in the event between 1974 and 2013 totals well over 10,000 athletes from all but a handful of schools from around the country. With an annual involvement of over 1000 students it has become one of the largest secondary school sporting events in New Zealand. The idea for this document was born during the 1995 NZSSCC Championships in Masterton. At this time (before the internet), results were published in a hard copy booklet. In this particular year the first three place getters in the individual, and three and six person team categories were published for the first twenty-one years of the events history. This accompanied the full set of 1995 results. After this event, the majority of results were published electronically. Unfortunately, many of these results were lost in the mid to late nineties because there was no dedicated NZSSAA website. Sincere thanks need to be given to Don Chadderton for providing the first twenty years’ of results. Without these early results a significant part of athletics New Zealand’s history would have eventually been forgotten. These include the 1974 performance of Alison Rowe, who would later go on to win both the 1981 Boston and New York marathons. As well as Burnside High School’s 1978 performance in the junior boys event where they completed the perfect three-man score of six points.

  • NACHBETRACHTUNG IRONMAN HAWAII 2000 Von Richard Kapun
    NACHBETRACHTUNG IRONMAN HAWAII 2000 von Richard Kapun IRONMAN MIT MUMUKU Der 24. Ironman auf Big Island, Hawaii fand unter verschärften Wetterbedingungen statt. Der gefürchtete Passatwind Mumuku mutierte zum Spielverderber und verhinderte ein Rennen der Rekorde. Dennoch gab es mit dem Kanadier Peter Reid und der Schweizerin Natascha Badmann erwartete Sieger. Wieder Kanada und die Schweiz Wie bei den Olympischen Spielen baumeln auf Big Island die kanadische und die schweizer Flagge am höchsten. Schon zum zweiten Mal standen Reid und Badmann auf der obersten Stufe des Siegertreppchens in Kona. Vor 2 Jahren durften sich die beiden ebenfalls gegenseitig gratulieren. Der 24. Ironman Hawaii wurde vom gefürchteten Passatwind Mumuku stark beeinflußt. Vor allem auf dem Rad waren die Teilnehmer mit einer böigen Naturgewalt konfrontiert. Der Auftaktbewerb im Pazifik vor der Westküste der größten hawaiischen Insel Big Island verlief noch reibungslos und plangemäß. Der Tag begann morgens um 7 mit 29 Grad Celsius und 50 % Luftfeuchtigkeit. Vom 3 kmh langsamen Wind war im Wasser noch nichts zu spüren. Der US-Amerikaner John Westin gewann den Sprint der schnellsten Vierergruppe am Ende der ersten Teilstrecke (49:44 Min.). Dahinter Rukoshuev/USA und sein Landsmann James Bonney. Neben Bonney an vierter Stelle die schnellste Frau, Barb Lindquist/USA. Alle 4 blieben knapp unter 50 Minuten für die 3,8 Auftaktkilometer. Der 44-jährige Ex-Schwimmer John Westin schwamm am schnellsten (49:44) beim Ironman Hawaii 2000. Im nachfolgenden Reigen wurden die ersten Favoriten im Sekundentakt an Land gespült. Zuerst die DeBoom-Brüder dann der Brite Spencer Smith. Von den deutschen Herausforderern nahm Ralph Eggert als Schnellster sein Rad in die Hand.

    Abstract: Daniel Matamala In this thesis for his Master of Arts in Journalism from Columbia University, Chilean journalist Daniel Matamala explores the relationship between sports and politics, looking at what voters' favorite sports can tell us about their political leanings and how "POWER GAMES: How this can be and is used to great eect in election campaigns. He nds that -unlike soccer in Europe or Latin America which cuts across all social barriers- sports in the sports help to elect United States can be divided into "red" and "blue". During wartime or when a nation is under attack, sports can also be a powerful weapon Presidents, run campaigns for fuelling the patriotism that binds a nation together. And it can change the course of history. and promote wars." In a key part of his thesis, Matamala describes how a small investment in a struggling baseball team helped propel George W. Bush -then also with a struggling career- to the presidency of the United States. Politics and sports are, in other words, closely entwined, and often very powerfully so.
