Born To Win is supported by BBC Talent and BBC Former world champion athletes Colin Jackson and Sport Academy. Sally Gunnell are acting as mentors for the competitors, offering help, advice and coaching support throughout the series as well as deciding who will be eliminated each week. Joining Colin and Sally at the competition are Professor Dave Collins of Edinburgh University, who offers psychological advice to the competitors, and physiologist Steve Ingham of the British Olympic Medical Institute. In addition to following the progress of the competitors, Born To Win also analyses the world’s greatest sports stars through a series of blueprint films, revealing how they made it to the top, what physical and technical attributes make them the elite star that they are, and their “born to win” moment – the moment when everything came together for them.The films also look at examples of those qualities in action.

  • Kinematical Model of Hurdle Clearance Technique
    Isas 2004 / Ottawa, Canada 311 KINEMATICAL MODEL OF HURDLE CLEARANCE TECHNIQUE Milan Coh, Milan Zvan, and Bojan Jost Faculty of Sport, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia The objective of our study was to determine the major kinematic parameters that generate a model of hurdle clearance technique on the 4th hurdle in the 110 metres hurdles. A biomechanic analysis was performed on one of the best hurdlers, a world record holder, Colin Jackson. The analysis of the hurdle clearance technique was made by means of 3D kinematic system ARIEL. The subject of the study was kinematic analysis of the take-off, flight and landing. The results showed that the rational technique of hurdle clearance is defined by the following parameters: horizontal speed of CM (centre of mass) in the moment of take-off, the level of CM in take-off, speed of the swing leg during take-off, take-off angle, time of the flight over a hurdle, level of CM above a hurdle, horizontal speed of CM in the landing phase, level of CM in the landing phase, and contact time in the landing phase. KEY WORDS: hurdles, technique, model, kinematics. INTRODUCTION: The high hurdles are among the technically most demanding of track and field events. According to some researches carried out so far (Schluter, 1981; Mero, Luhtanen, 1986; La Fortune, 1988; McDonald; Dapena, 1991; McLean, 1994 ), the hurdle clearance technique is one of the key elements defining the competition result. From the aspect of biomechanics, hurdles is a combination of cyclic sprinting and acyclic clearance of ten 1.067m hurdles.

  • Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth Champion, Greg
    Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth champion, Greg Rutherford is Great Britain’s most decorated long jumper and one of the country’s most successful Olympic athletes. After a successful junior career, Greg won gold at the London 2012 Olympics - changing his life forever and playing his part in the most successful night of British olympic sport in history. This iconic victory began a winning streak of gold medals; at the 2014 European Championships, 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2015 World Championships. In 2015, Greg topped the long jump ranking in the IAAF Diamond League, the athletics equivalent of the Champions League. At the end of his 2015 season, he held every available elite outdoor title. In 2016 at the Rio Olympic’s, Greg backed up his 2012 Olympic success with a further Olympic medal - he also found himself on the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom floor shortly after! Greg is the British record holder, both indoors and outdoors, with bests of 8.26m (indoors) and 8.51m (outdoors). These sporting successes place Greg among the ranks of the British supreme athletics performers - simultaneously holding 4 major outdoors titles - he sits alongside legends such as, Linford Christie, Sally Gunnell, Johnathan Edwards & Daley Thompson. Greg’s route to the top was anything but smooth. From humble and often difficult beginnings, Greg rebelled during his teenage years and ended up dropping out of school, telling his teachers he was going to be a professional sportsman, no matter what - despite having no job, no money and little more than a firm belief in his own raw talent.

Clegg Chairman’s Message 2013 A warm welcome to visitors, old and new, as we embark on the 2013 Rugby League season; it seems like last season passed by in the blink of an eye. This season is, again, one of innovation for the Cumberland Rugby League with the advent of the Cumbria Men’s League and the Iggesund Cumberland League becoming the single Cumberland based competition. It has to be said that this is a positive step for the game in Cumbria as a whole. The Cumbria League will provide an intensely contested competition for the higher level clubs and the rejuvenated Cumberland League will mean that clubs get a better quality league with closer games and fewer matches conceded or having ‘blow-out’ scores. This, coupled with the successful transition to summer rugby, augurs well for the long term health of the game in our part of the world. Last season was another part in our learning curve here at Aspatria; a slow start meant that we were chasing the coat tails of our nearest rivals but a change at the helm, with Mike Hazlewood taking over, meant that we made some big strides forward.
