    IAAF Diamond League Media Information Guide 2013 www.diamondleague.com 1/37 INTRODUCTION With the creation of the IAAF Diamond League we set out to reinvent the one-day meeting structure of our sport, to bring clarity to the top tier circuit of international invitational competition which takes place outside the IAAF World Championships and Olympic Games. While there remain many challenges ahead if we are to make further advances and cement the IAAF Diamond League’s position as one of the world’s major sports series, we firmly believe that we have made an exceptionally good start in the first three years of the new competition structure. The IAAF Diamond League has a worldwide audience and a broadcasting reach undreamt by the Golden League series which preceded it. Thanks to a 14 meeting circuit which covers Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the USA, a competition programme that includes virtually the full spectrum of Olympic track and field disciplines, the guarantee of the world’s greatest athletes battling to win 8 Million Dollars in prize money, accumulating points season long to win their event’s Diamond Race Trophy, the IAAF Diamond League has captured the public’s imagination like no other non-championship athletics competition. I eagerly look forward to the 2013 season of the IAAF Diamond League which commences in Doha and concludes at the end of August and beginning of September with the finals in Zurich and Brussels.

    Jelimo wins Golden League jackpot, Bolt wins again 09:37, September 06, 2008 Kenya's Olympic champion Pamela Jelimo took away the IAAF Golden League's one-million- U.S.-dollar jackpot Friday night in Brussels, after winning women's 800-meter race in one minute 55.16 seconds. Jelimo, 18, was a clear winner in the race, comfortably beating compatriot Janeth Jepkosgei into second place, who finished with one minute 58.85 seconds. Kenia Sinclair of Jamaica was third with one minute 59.11 seconds. Croatian high jumper Blanka Vlasic, who could have shared the jackpot with a win, only managed second place. German Ariane Friedrich won the gold, and Olympic Champion Tia Hellebaut finished third. All the three women cleared the height of 2 meters. Meanwhile, Jamaica made a clean sweep of medals in men's 100 meters at the last leg of the Golden League held at the King Baudouin Stadium. Three-time sprint Olympic Champion and world record holder Usain Bolt beat Asafa Powell to win the 100 meters in 9.77 seconds. Powell came in second in 9.83 seconds, and Nesta Carter was third in 10.07 seconds. In women's pole vault competition, Olympic and world champion Yelena Isinbaeva of Russia won with a moderate clearance of 4.72 meters, ahead of Monika Pyrek of Poland and Tatyana Polnova of Russia. In other events, local favorite and European champion Kim Gevaert won women's 100 meters in 11.25 seconds, ahead of Debbie Ferguson of Bahamas in 11.32 seconds and American Me'Lisa Barber in11.37 seconds.

  • Improving Access to Justice in Kenya Through Horizontal Application of the Bill of Rights and Judicial Review
    Improving Access to Justice in Kenya through Horizontal Application of the Bill of Rights and Judicial Review Doris Matu* Abstract Article 20 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 states that the Bill of Rights binds all state organs and all persons. However, the extent to which natural persons and private legal persons can be held liable for human rights violations has become an issue. The courts have differed and provided mixed directions as to liability for human rights violations by private persons. Under the previous constitutional era, only decisions of public entities could be reviewed through judicial review. This article is an attempt to illustrate, with the aid of case law, the increased possi- bility for access to justice by the litigant in constitutional rights matters post-2010. We move from the previous era where human rights could not generally be sought against private persons to one where there is an attitude of acceptance, albeit a very cautious one, where rights can now be sought against any private persons. Also, there is hope for justice and a better society in general, if private bodies’ deci- sions can also be judicially reviewed. Private entities wield immense power over individuals and it is crucial to lift the veil of privacy and go to the root of the matter by evaluating their decision-making processes. I. Introduction Horizontal application of the Bill of Rights has been defned as the con- cept of constitutional law that determines the regulation of relations between private individuals.1 Companies and other non-governmental actors have the ca- * The author is a post-graduate student of Law at the Kenya School of Law.

  • Opening Batsman Sunil Gavaskar at Its Convocation
    This time the Aussies need no help to locate Visakhapatnam. Only in early 1996, on the eve of the World Cup, they were helped out by a Pakistani when the Australian cricketers tried to spot Visakhapatnam, the venue of their first World Cup match, on the map. They not only enjoyed their visit to the City of Destiny but also enthralled the crowd with their display as the Waugh brothers put on 207 runs for the third wicket against Kenya. Shane Warne and Vizag as a venue, made their debut in the World cup on February 23, 1996. Two years later the Aussies played here again against the Board President’s XI in March 1998 and in that match Slater and Ponting emulated the Waugh brothers by adding 206 runs for the second wicket. A double century by the former, 155 by the latter and a century by Kanitkar for the home team marked the three day batting feast. Incidentally Harbhajan Singh played here for the first time against the Australians, claiming the prize wicket of Slater. For the third time in five years the Aussies came to Visakhapatnam in 2001 to play against a resurgent India led by Sourav Ganguly, in the fifth ODI on April 3, 2001. Australia won by 93 runs. Man of the Match was M.Hayden with 111 while Ponting scored 101. Sachin Tendulkar topscored for India with 62. It all began with the great Viv Richards in 1987 when he led the West Indies team against the Board President’s XI. Since then what a galaxy of players have been seen in action here - Kapil Dev, Mohinder Amarnath, Gundappa Viswanath, Sunil Gavaskar, Srikkanth, Manjrekar, Ravi Shastri, Azharuddin, Mike Atherton, Courtney Walsh, Mark Taylor, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Aravinda de Silva and Arjuna Ranatunga and almost all the great teams of contemporary cricket.
