Heller’s title earns him a spot on the United States Team at the 20th World Maccabiah Games in Israel from July 4 through 18. Although the Maccabiah USA Wrestling Team Trials were held in freestyle, the winners will compete in both freestyle and Greco-Roman in Israel. The Maccabiah World Games, a competition for Jewish athletes across the world, is the third largest multi- sport event on earth behind the Olympic Games and the Pan American Games. Wrestlers will be part of the overall 1,100+ member Team USA at the 2017 World Maccabiah Games, which features 10,000 athletes, from 80 countries, participating in 43 sports. Heller, a native of Riverwoods, Illinois, won five matches in his weight class, including a pin in 1:29 of eventual runner-up Gordon Wolf, who wrestles for Lehigh, in the fifth and final round. He recorded two wins by fall, two tech falls and a win by decision. Heller opened with a 10-0 tech fall win over Jonathan Wechter. He then pinned Jesse Weiner at the 1:30 mark of their second round match. Heller added a 10-0 tech fall over Zachary Goldrosen in round three and a 14-10 win by decision over Jared Forman in the fourth round. Heller led the Hofstra Pride in victories during the 2016-17 season with a 23-17 mark at 174 pounds. He tallied eight wins by decision, four pins, four tech falls and three major decisions on the year. He won the Lock Haven Classic, placed second in the Journeymen/Blue and Gold Tussle B Division, third at the Binghamton Jonathan Kaloust Bearcat Open and fifth at the New York State Collegiate Championships.

Athletes As Tourists: Consumer Behaviour of Participants at the 2007 and 2009 World Universiade Games
PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/v10141-011-0007-7 Athletes as Tourists: Consumer Behaviour of Participants at the 2007 and 2009 World Universiade Games Douglas Michele Turco 1, Dimitra Papadimitrou 2, Serkan Berber 3 1 Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA 2 University of Patras, Rio, Greece 3 Anadalu University, Eskişehir, Turkey ABSTRACT Considerable research has been devoted to sport mega-events including the Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games. Yet few studies have focused on the lesser known or “second tier” international sport events in order to understand the patterns and the impact of participant consumption. Further, few sport event studies are extended beyond a single assessment. This study examines a recurring sport event, the World Universiade Summer Games, that took place in two different countries, Belgrade, Serbia and Bangkok, Thailand. A profile of participants at the 2007 and 2009 Universiades was generated to reveal and compare their consumer behaviour in the host cities and over time. Subjects were queried on-site during selected days of competition (N=441, 2007; N=221, 2009). Findings demonstrate a remarkable consistency in participant characteristics and local spend from 2007 to 2009, though the amount spent per night was considerably less than the average per night spend by other types of tourists in the host countries, suggesting that Universiade athletes are non high-value tourists. Discussion and implications of findings to sport and tourism destination scholars and marketers are presented. KEYWORDS sport tourism, mega-events, World Universiade Games Introduction The summer Olympic Games and the FIFA Men’s World Cup are the two largest sport mega- events on the planet in terms of media audience, production costs, impact, etc.; all other events pale in comparison.

In 1986 the effort became focused when the International Olympic Committee recognized squash and the World Squash Federation applied for inclusion in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Campaigns have occurred ever since, in particular for the Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as for the next three upcoming Summer Games. SThe push for the Olympics, however, often overshadows squash’s inclusion in numerous other international multi-sport events, some that you might know well and others slightly more obscure. Squash will be featured this month in the quadrennial Pan Ameri- can Games in Lima, and also the Pacific Games in Samoa and the Island Games in Gibraltar. Later this year, there is the African Games in Morocco in August, and the Southeast Asian Games in Philippines and the South Asian Games in Nepal in December. Many thousands of squash players, from top PSA professionals to amateurs of all ages, play in these games, building friendships and adding to their home nation’s medal count. The exposure of squash to wider audiences is tremendous, with media attention in the host and participating nations. The facilities that get built are fabulous legacies, particularly for host cities that are slightly off the beaten squash track—for example, the courts in Cartagena that were built for the 2006 Central PHOTO: © R.

Report of Asia AGM 2013
Report of Asia Keiji UKAI First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all WDSF members and WDSF officials for your great support to promote DanceSport also in Asia. DanceSport in Asia has been getting remarkable growth for these 18 years since the recognition of IDSF by IOC in 1995. Following the demonstration at Bangkok Asian Games 1998,DanceSport was invited as a program sport into the 2005 Macau East Asian Games, the 2005 Philippines South East Asian Games, the 2005 Thailand Asian Indoor Games, the 2007 Thailand South East Asian Games, the 2007 Macau Asian Indoor Games, the 2009 Vietnam Asian Indoor Games, the 2009 Hong Kong East Asian Games and the 2010 .Guangzhou Asian Games. WDSF Championships and Cups, Grand SLAM series and Grand SLAM Finals, of course, many WDSF ranking competitions have been organizing. The World Games was held twice in 2001 Akita and 2009 Kaohsiung. In this year, 2013, It has been allowed DanceSport to be included into the 2013 Tianjin East Asian Games and the 2013 Incheon Asian Indoor & Martial Arts Games. On the other hand, we have 20 national members within 45 NOCs in Asia. We have two members in the West Asia and two members in the South Asia. Therefore we have to work to promote DanceSport in those regions, together with DanceSport promotion in DanceSport young nations. We can see many young DanceSport getting great growth especially in Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, Philippines, Chinese Taipei, Korea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Japan and Macau. However, it will be one of obstacles for NOCs to support DanceSport for the Olympics that DanceSport is too noisy organization for some NOCs.

INF Position Statement Regarding Netball and the Olympic Games the INF Is Often Asked Whether Netball Is in the Olympic Games
INF Position Statement Regarding Netball and the Olympic Games The INF is often asked whether netball is in the Olympic Games. The paper sets out the current status. The Olympic Games The IOC (International Olympic Committee) ‘owns’ the Olympic Games. The honour and responsibility of hosting the Olympic Games are entrusted by the IOC to a city, which is elected as the host city of the Olympic Games. The Games of the Olympiad (4 year period) are celebrated during the first year of an Olympiad, and the Olympic Winter Games during its third year. The Olympic Charter sets forth and recalls the Fundamental Principles and essential values of Olympism and is an excellent guide to how the Olympic movement works. It defines the three main constituents of the Olympic Movement, namely the International Olympic Committee, the International Federations and the National Olympic Committees, as well as the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games, all of which are required to comply with the Olympic Charter. IOC Recognition In order to develop and promote the Olympic Movement, the IOC may recognise as ‘International Federations’ (IF’s) international non-governmental organisations administering one or several sports at world level and encompassing organisations administering such sports at national level. The statutes, practice and activities of the IFs within the Olympic Movement must be in conformity with the Olympic Charter, including the adoption and implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code. The International Netball Federation is recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This status was earned because of netball’s global popularity, our strong and effective governance structures and our compliance with the Olympic Charter.

November 2019 Greetings! It's been a little over one year since the spectacular Paris 2018 Gay Games 10 and momentum has shifted to Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022. Living authentically and standing up for your beliefs is not easy but it is necessary. Since the close of the 2018 Gay Games, we have celebrated WorldPride, the 50th anniversary of Stonewall. We have had discussion on what it means to be an athlete as with the Caster Semenya case. More people are coming out including athletes like Indian sprinter Dutee Chand, professional Mexican-American footballer Janelly Farias Rodríguez, and 40 members of 2019 Women's World Cup Soccer teams. The dialogue about acceptance of LGBTQ+ people and our place in sports has never been stronger and being part of this conversation is how change happens. Recently FGG held its first Annual General Assembly in Latin America where members had an opportunity to share experiences and ideas to bring change to our communities in their regions. We also celebrated local people who support us in our efforts and we were privileged to experience a key part of the culture as AGA coincided with the Day of the Dead.
