    XXII Commonwealth Games Birmingham, England 28 July – 8 August 2022 Selection Policy and Standards BEACH VOLLEYBALL January 2021 Scottish Volleyball Association 48 The Pleasance Edinburgh EH8 9TJ Team Scotland: Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games BEACH VOLLEYBALL Athlete - Sport Selection Policy and Standards The information in this Selection Policy is accurate as at November 2020 but remains subject to change. As a result of the unique and extenuating circumstances caused by COVID-19 and the subsequent impact on international sporting calendars, Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS) and Scottish Volleyball will be closely monitoring this Selection Policy to determine if any changes are necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, CGS reserves the right to amend this Selection Policy in any manner, and at the sole and absolute discretion of CGS, should CGS consider that the qualification process would be fairer having regard to the interests of all Athletes and the prevailing circumstances. In addition, CGS and Scottish Volleyball reserve the right not to apply any aspect of this Selection Policy when making any decision, if in the sole and absolute discretion of CGS, it would, as judged by CGS, be unfair or unreasonable not to, provided always that CGS has regard to the interests of all Athletes in the prevailing circumstances. 1 Introduction 1.1 This selection policy has been agreed by Scottish Volleyball and Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS). It provides detail on the process by which Scottish Volleyball will arrive at Athlete nominations, which will be submitted to CGS for consideration, for final selection to Team Scotland for Birmingham 2022. 1.2 Achievement, by an Athlete, of individual selection standards, as detailed in this document, is therefore the first step by which nomination can be considered.

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.

  • AIS and Black Dog Partner to Improve Mental Fitness in Young Australians
    AIS and Black Dog partner to improve mental fitness in young Australians 27th July 2020 EMBARGOED UNTIL 10AM MONDAY 27TH JULY 2020 Australian Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes are joining the fight to help reduce rates of mental health issues in young children as part of a new community partnership between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Black Dog Institute. Designed to help young people manage their mental health and improve their general wellbeing, the Mental Fitness Program will see 27 current and former elite athletes assist in delivering mental wellbeing presentations, both in-person and online, at high schools throughout the country. Mental Fitness Program presenter and Commonwealth Games gold medal winning boxer Harry Garside said his personal experience with mental health education at school was a game-changer. “I wanted to get involved in the Mental Fitness Program because I know firsthand that these workshops can have a significant impact and change the course of a young person’s life,” said Mr Garside. “As an elite athlete, I want to role model behaviour that promotes self-care and positive psychology to help improve the wellbeing and resilience of young Australians.” In Australia, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year, and approximately 60% of those people won’t seek help. Over 75 per cent of mental health issues develop before the age of 25 which shows the importance of tackling the subject from an early age. Black Dog Institute Director and Chief Scientist Helen Christensen said the ability to bring sport and community together to teach meaningful life skills was needed now more than ever.
