    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2007/A/1377 Melanie Rinaldi v. Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), award of 26 November 2007 Panel: Mr. Quentin Byrne-Sutton (Switzerland), Sole Arbitrator Swimming Change of sport nationality Interpretation and purpose of the requirement of the 12 month prior residence before a change of nationality Compatibility with Swiss Law of FINA GR 2.6 in particular with the principle of protection of personality rights and with the principle of Equality of treatment 1. The wording of GR 2.6 is clear in that it requires that a competitor have truly lived in the country for at least one complete year in order to qualify for a change of national affiliation. Separate stays that correspond to forms of visits rather than to establishing a home would not qualify as periods of residence even if they are numerous. 2. The purpose of GR 2.6 is to regulate changes of sports nationality in manner which preserves the interest of sport, of national federations that “invest” in their athletes and of the athletes. More specifically, in order to be indicative of a real “change” and to prevent “nation shopping”, residence needs to correspond to the centre of the athlete’s activity (in terms of everyday life, training and competing at national level) for a sufficiently significant period of time to establish that the new residence is not fictitious. The wording employed in GR 2.6, which is that a competitor must have resided in the new country for a full year prior to the request for change of affiliation, corresponds to the purpose of the clause.

PROFILE According to a study by the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) and Pocock (2014), English-speaking communities in the East end of the island represent a significant 14,8% of the area’s population. However, it is common that the needs of these communities are overlooked. REISA seeks to promote the English language as a communication tool and not as the language of work, in areas where minority groups are more comfortable receiving services in English than in French.

WORLD SEARCH FOR INSPIRATION INS Québec CEO Marc Gélinas began working with the organization in June 2008 and by September that year a working group was already making plans for its next steps. “We knew other countries were working on a sport institute concept so we researched how that could work for us,” he says. “We ran work sessions and focus groups with coaches, athletes – for both Olympic and Paralympic focuses – scientists and medical staff. We wanted to know what they had seen around the world and asked what we could do to provide athletes with a world-class environment.” To complement what they had heard from participants, the INS executive team visited Australia and England extensively as well as the USOC Training Centre in Colorado Springs. “We’ve also had a lot of exchanges with Spain and locally, we went to several Canadian facilities as well as the Montreal Canadiens’ hockey team training centre in Brossard, Quebec.” Pag.

In 1952, the Netherlands joined the competition and an international movement was born. The very first Olympic style Games for athletes with a disability were organized in Rome in 1960. In Toronto in 1976, other disability groups, other than spinal cord injuries, were added and the idea of merging various disability groups for international sport competitions began. In the same year, the first Paralympic Winter Games took place in Sweden. Today, the Paralympics are elite sport events for athletes from six different disability groups.
