  • Letter to Prime Minister
    The Rt Hon Boris Johnson The Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 23rd September 2020 Dear Prime Minister, A Green Recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic If it were not for the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s hearts and minds would have been captured this summer by the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games: events that have "Passing on Legacy for the Future” as part of their core mission. Yet the years where that Legacy will unfold are under acute threat from climate change. In February this year, you confirmed that "there can be no greater responsibility than protecting our planet, and no mission that a Global Britain is prouder to serve”. With the COP26 and G7 presidencies next year, the UK has a golden opportunity to show international leadership on the most important issue facing humankind. We can sit timidly in the pack, pretending that we have no role to play in the unfolding race. Or, like the athletes we would have watched this summer, we can race to win. We urge your Government to act consistently with the recognised need for “urgent action”, by developing a truly Green approach to recovery from the pandemic. In championing this approach, the UK can take confidence from the last months, which have demonstrated the incredible capacity our society has to make huge alterations from “business as usual” in order to protect one another. The economic benefits of pursuing a Green recovery have also received emphatic endorsement from the Committee on Climate Change, the present and former Governors of the Bank of England, and research from Oxford University.

    British Women Olympians and Paralympians Past and Present E-Book presented by Mary Honeyball MEP Contents Foreword: Mary Honeyball Athletics: Nikki Emerson Jessica Ennis Tanni Grey-Thompson Sally Gunnell Kelly Holmes Denise Lewis Dorothy Manley Liz McColgan Shara Proctor Mary Rand Tessa Sanderson Goldie Sayers Perri Shakes-Drayton Jodie Williams Shelly Woods Canoeing: Fiona Pennie Helen Reeves Cycling: Rachel Morris Sarah Storey Diving: Megan Sylvester Isabelle White Dressage: Anne Dunham Fencing: Gillian Sheen Hockey: Jane Sixsmith Kate Walsh 2 Judo: Karina Bryant Nicola Fairbrother Modern Pentathlon: Heather Fell Mary Peters Show Jumping: Marion Coakes Tina Fletcher Swimming: Anita Lonsbrough Rebecca Adlington Heather Frederiksen Davina Ingrams Nyree Kindred Eleanor Simmonds Tennis: Charlotte Cooper Laura Robson 3 Foreword by Mary Honeyball MEP Inspirational athletes will always encourage children and young people to participate in sport. Learning about their experiences, trials and tribulations inspires others to strive to achieve greatness in their chosen sport. Politicians and governments also have a duty to encourage new talent to emerge. Between 2003 and 2010, under the last Labour government, the number of secondary school children playing sport for two or more hours a week rose from 20% to 85%. Labour also set up a network of school sports co-ordinators who were responsible for working on an inter-school basis to increase the range and quality of sports available for pupils. In an interview with the Guardian, school sports coordinator, Jo Marston has called these the ‘halcyon days’ on the basis of a previously unseen breadth and depth of competition in school sports. In 2010 Michael Gove abolished the networks of school sports co-ordinators set up by Labour in the face of much outrage from both teachers and athletes.

  • PRESS RELEASE: Lausanne, Switzerland – 28Th January 2021
    PRESS RELEASE: Lausanne, Switzerland – 28th January 2021 WAoS & WOA celeBrate new cohort of Olympian AFEC Assessors Twenty Olympians, today, celebrated the completion of the World Academy of Sport’s (WAoS) Athlete Friendly Education Centre (AFEC) Assessor training programme in a Virtual Graduation ceremony and will now work to provide more support and continue to grow the AFEC schools project and network. The WAoS AFEC project accredits schools which provide flexible learning pathways combined with excellent support services to student-athletes. This combined support enables students to better balance both education and sporting commitments and maintain a dual career approach. The Olympians were selected for the training programme from an outstanding pool of more than 170 applicants who shared this opportunity as part of an MOU signed with the World Olympians Association (WOA) in 2020 to provide Olympians with new education and work opportunities. Chris Solly, Managing Director at WAoS, commented: “With such amazing Olympians applying for this opportunity, we would have liked to have taken on all the interested Olympians for this programme. All applicants shared a clear passion to give back to their sport and young aspiring athletes by actively promoting the importance of continuing education while competing in a chosen sport. WAoS hopes to have more opportunities for these applicants in the future. For those who participated in the training and were here today, our WAoS team is excited to be working with this inspirational group of Olympians who during the training showed enthusiasm, knowledge and passion in assisting schools around the world to support the next generation of athletes.” Speaking at the ceremony, WOA President Joël Bouzou OLY, said: “Congratulations to my fellow Olympians on achieving this important qualification and for adapting to the challenges of completing your training in a virtual environment.

  • 2008 Olympic Silver Medallist Heather Fell Moves Onto Media Career
    09 JAN 2014 2008 OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALLIST HEATHER FELL MOVES ONTO MEDIA CAREER Olympic silver medallist and former world number one Heather Fell has announced her retirement from modern pentathlon after 12 years competing at international level to pursue a career in the media. The highpoint of Fell’s illustrious career was a terrific performance at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 when she became the fourth British athlete to win an Olympic medal since the sport for women was included on the Olympic programme at Sydney 2000. Fell said: “I’ve had a wonderful career in a sport I love, I never imagined I would be able to do have the opportunity to train full time for my sport. I take so many happy memories with me. I’m now turning my attention to a new and exciting career alongside the different physical challenge of road cycling.” Jan Bartu, Pentathlon GB Performance Director, said: “I’d like to wish Heather all the best for the future. Her successes from her time as a junior up to Olympic, World Championships, World Cups and European Championships speak for themselves. It will be sad to see her go. “Heather has been a very strong athlete and in many ways her competition performances often exceeded expectations from training. That’s almost unique, it’s something not many athletes can do. I would never underestimate Heather’s desire and will to succeed, which have been inspirational.” Fell was inspired to take up the sport after watching Steph Cook win gold and fellow Devonian Kate Allenby win bronze at Sydney 2000.

Page 2 of 12 OPEN LETTER FROM UIPM PRESIDENT ABOUT NEW PENTATHLON STADIUM After 15 year of exciting innovations in Modern Pentathlon I welcome you to our newest concept, the Pentathlon Stadium. Now a spectator can watch 5 disciplines in 5 hours with 1 ticket from 1 seat. This revolutionary innovation will make its Olympic debut in Rio 2016 (currently in discussions) and will once again enhance our great sport to the spectators and media. The main change that will occur is the fencing discipline. All the fencing action will now take place on one piste in an exciting, ladder, knock out system that ranks the fencers based on the results of the traditional fencing round held the day before and has them battling one another to improve their place and determine the overall winner.
