Wong set out to capture the “peaceful…visual feast” of the gardens and used the Orton technique (layering two slide trans- parencies) to produce the picture’s fuzzy, dream-like effect.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

Voulgaris A Thesis in the Field of History for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2016 © November 2016, Panos John Voulgaris Abstract The rhetoric and life of Muhammad Ali greatly influenced the advancement of African Americans. How did the words of Ali impact the development of black America in the twentieth century? What role does Ali hold in history? Ali was a supremely talented artist in the boxing ring, but he was also acutely aware of his cultural significance. The essential question that must be answered is how Ali went from being one of the most reviled people in white America to an icon of humanitarianism for all people. He sought knowledge through personal experience and human interaction and was profoundly influenced by his own upbringing in the throes of Louisville’s Jim Crow segregation.

  • Black and White Doesn't Mean Grey
    Black and White Doesn’t Mean Gray, Willy Lizárraga Black and White Doesn’t Mean Gray Willy Lizárraga Back and forth. The ball. Bounce and rebound. Fast because it is against a wall and it’ll return everything you throw at it. It’ll defeat you no matter what, although it will always leave it up to you to decide when to walk away. I was at that point. Actually, I was past that point. My arm and wrist had already given up. I wasn’t going to quit, though. This girl at the other end of the wall had been at it when I arrived and was still going strong. I kept eyeing her. She wasn’t even sweating. She mixed up her shots with absolute control: forehands, backhands, serves, volleys, always hitting the wall at exactly the same spot, right between the bathroom door and its only window. She wore red shorts and a loose gray t-shirt, ripped at one shoulder. Her tennis shoes were so old they didn’t have color anymore. She had an enormous Afro, almost bigger than her, and long, perfectly cylindrical legs. Her socks were super white. Or maybe it just seemed so against her dark skin. Her shoulders were small, like her hips. Meanwhile, my humiliation kept building up. So I purposefully hit the ball to her side. I wanted to interrupt her, to stop the unstoppable flow of her shots. Maybe I could even talk to her. It was like eight in the morning. We were the only ones in the park.

Seven UVic athletes will get more than that -- about 10 nights in Bangkok -- at the XXIV World University Games which begin Wednesday and run through Aug. 18 in the bustling Thai metropolis. The World University Games, or Universiade as they are also known, have served as a launching pad for numerous future Olympians and world championships performers. One of the UVic Vikes athletes headed to Bangkok has already been -- hard-working swimmer MacKenzie Downing has been a revelation in earning a spot on Team Canada to the 2007 world aquatics championships earlier this year in Melbourne and could be tabbed for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics after winning four gold medals last weekend at the Canadian senior swimming championships in Calgary. Another Vikes athlete headed to Bangkok and touted as a potential future Olympian is 1,500-metre runner Geoff Martinson out of Prince George. The Vikes women's soccer team achieved its greatest success with high-scoring strikers Carey Gustafson and Liz Hansen, including winning the CIS national title in 2005, and the pair will fuel the Canadian offence on the pitch at Bangkok. The UVic golf team has placed the most Vikes athletes on the Canadian team to Thailand with Christina Spence of Port Alberni, Jade Dennill of Nakusp and Anne Balser from Nova Scotia.

  • January 2017
    Ontario Aquatic Hall of Fame Newsletter - January 2017 Congratulations Olympic & Paralympic Games- Ontario Swimmers Swimming on Olympic & Paralympic Teams Mike West has provided us some insight as an Olympian and voiced his feelings about this Summer’s Games: 2016 Olympic Team: “It was so exciting to watch the Canadian team swim with such confidence. Javier Acevedo (MAC) We’ve been through some lean years with respect to medals for Canadian swimmers at Ashton Baumann * the Olympics, it is so validating to see our swimmers get to the podium, and win gold (Ottawa) medals - way to go Penny. Dominique Bouchard (OAK) Overall I’m feeling really hopeful about the future of Canadian swimming - I get the Santo Condorelli (Kenora) sense that the team feels like they actually belong at the party. Mack Darragh (OAK) Kennedy Goss * (GGST) Hilary Caldwell said it so confidently after her 200 back - that reaching the podium was Audrey Lacroix (ANM) now “normal” for Canadian swimmers - and I think this is such a shift in thinking for our Brittany Maclean (ESWIM) swimmers. Sandrine Mainville (CAMO) When I swam in 1984 it wasn’t “if” you made the podium, it was where on the podium Kylie Masse (WEST/UT) you would be standing. And that is the feeling that I think is spreading through our Martha McCabe (TSC) Canadian team after Rio - our swimmers now have the confidence to not only compete Penny Oleksiak (TSC) with the best in the world, but to also contend for medals, including gold medals, at the Erika Seltenreich- international stage. Hodgson (GO) So excited
