  • Selection Criteria
    “Crysbro-NOC SL Next Champ” - Selection Criteria Target Group Athletes of potential for future success with an eye for 2022 and beyond, with an ultimate eye for a future Olympic medal. Category of Sports All within the Olympic domain Age group 15-16 years and will go up to 19-20 years under special circumstances by 2021 General Overview Primarily the selection process is rather futuristic and hypothetic. The reason, no one can predict that an athlete who is promising at the age of 15 could sustain the same intensity at 22-23 especially under local day-do-day life. Unlike in developed nations Sri Lanka lacks a proper system of youth development as result wilting talent is very common especially among the poorer segments of the society. The young athlete may have the “Fire in his/her belly” but the sustenance of the intensity is very challenging. Then in the middle-income group once again the challenge is different, but very community bound. The middle-income group athletes in the ages of 15-16 are about to sit for their Ordinary Level Examinations so they are in a severe dilemma choosing between studies and the sports. In this aspect the parents play a huge role in the young athletes’ future as a sportsperson. Another aspect that should not be overlooked is the role that the coach plays in the career of the athlete. When an athlete spurts-out to fame – making a major accomplishment i.e., Parami Wasanthi winning the Youth Olympic Bronze medal. The impact that was made in the aftermath was irritable for the athlete.

Our interest was piqued–we hadn’t heard much yet about the 2010 Asian Games. Here are a few of the things we found when we went looking… 1. As with the Olympic preparations in Beijing, there is massive construction, investment, and environmental management (not just cloud- seeding) underway in Guangzhou, according to Xinhua: Authorities are pumping in more than 58 billion yuan (8.5 billion U.S. dollars) to boost the transportation system and protect the environment as Guangzhou, capital of south China’s Guangdong Province, is preparing for the 16th Asian Games next November.

  • The Relationship Between Triple Bottom Line Leverage and Branding of Sport Events
    The Relationship between Triple Bottom Line Leverage and Branding of Sport Events Author Karamchandani, Sushil Kumar Published 2011 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School Griffith Business School DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/3115 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/367221 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au The Relationship between Triple Bottom Line Leverage and Branding of Sport Events Sushil Kumar Karamchandani Master of Sport Management Department of Tourism, Leisure, Hotel and Sport Management Griffith Business School Griffith University Submitted in the fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September, 2010 Abstract The focus of this study is on the relationship between triple bottom line leverage and the branding of sport events, which has been explored from an internal stakeholder perspective. Despite the fact that sport events have been known to have significant impacts on a host destination‘s economy, society and environment, the majority of research in this area has had an ex post rather than ex ante focus. That is, many researchers have evaluated economic, social, and/or environmental impacts of sport events on host communities, rather than investigating how stakeholders can strategically plan to maximise the positive, and minimise the negative, outcomes from sport event hosting. Thus, moving on from this impact-oriented focus of the sport event literature, there is growing interest in the strategic leveraging of sport events. Leverage in this context refers to the activities that need to be undertaken around an event itself in order to maximise the benefits from hosting that event.
