  • Leading the Field
    LEADING THE FIELD THE STORY OF SPORT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM MATT COLE The University of Birmingham has invested its aspirations and its resources in sport from the opening of the university to the present day. Whether for the recreation, education and health of its staff, students and the public, or for the development of some of Britain’s sporting pioneers, the University has recognised the integral role of sport in its work. The investment has paid dividends for over a century now in Birmingham’s role in the development of sporting participation, expertise and influence. Sir Oliver Lodge was interrupted on the golf links to be recruited by Joseph Chamberlain as Birmingham University’s first Principal. His sporting enthusiasm was captured in this portrait for a 1904 profile in C.B. Fry’s Magazine of Action and Outdoor Life. 1900 LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS: TO THE EDWARDIAN ERA 1918 The University of Birmingham was founded at a To these were added clubs for swimming and Lodge was passionate about the role of sport in time of dramatic change for sport and society, golf in 1907, boxing and wrestling in 1909, and, public life and in the University.

  • Hypo Vorarlberg Geschichte Hypomeeting Bis 2019
    45 Jahre Leichtathletik-Geschichte Hypomeeting Götzis / Vorarlberg 1974 In diesem Jahr hat sich die LG Montfort entschieden, sich für die Durchführung der Österrei- chischen Mehrkampfmeisterschaften zu bewerben. Die im Juli 1973 durchgeführten Mehr- kampfmeisterschaften brachten neben dem großartigen österreichischen Rekord von Sepp Zeilbauer mit genau 8000 Punkten eine beachtliche Zuschauerresonanz. Die einen Monat später in Innsbruck ausgetragene Vorrunde im Mehrkampf-Europacup (Sepp Zeilbauer begeisterte wiederum mit neuem Rekord) brachte Armin Hug, Konrad Lerch, Elmar Oberhauser und Werner Ströhle auf den Gedanken, anstelle des nicht mehr durchgeführten traditionellen Mehrkampfmeetings in Schielleiten eine entsprechende internationale Veran- staltung im Mösle-Stadion abzuwickeln. Die vielen internationalen Kontakte von ÖLV-Mehr- kamptrainer Konrad Lerch zu seinen Trainerkollegen und AthletInnen sollte dabei die Basis für attraktive Startfelder bilden. 1975 Trotz widrigster Wetterverhältnisse (Regen und Kälte) gab es eine Jahresweltbestleistung von Burglinde Pollak/DDR im 5-Kampf und einen tschechischen Sieg im 10-Kampf durch Petr Kratky. Große Begeisterung der Athleten und Mannschaftsführer über die Organisation und die herzliche Atmosphäre, sowie ein kräfti- ger finanzieller Abgang kennzeichneten das erste Meeting. 1976 Die Volksbank konnte als Sponsor gewonnen werden, Subven- tionszusagen von Bund, Land und Marktgemeinde Götzis, sowie vom ASVÖ veranlassten die Initiatoren des Meetings Luis Fessler, Armin Hug, Konrad Lerch, Elmar Oberhauser und Werner Ströhle zu einem neuerlichen Versuch. Im Zehnkampf siegte mit Jahresweltbestleistung und neuem deutschem Rekord von 8.381 Punkten (8.302 Punktetabelle 1985) Guido Kratschmer vor dem mit 8.310 Punkten (8.219) österreichi- schen Rekord erzielenden Sepp Zeilbauer. Im Fünfkampf feier- te Diane Jones/Kanada einen sehr knappen Sieg (6 Punkte) vor Burglinde Pollak.

    Topical Applications of Mathematics Heptathlon PUPIL TEXT The 2008 Olympic Games, in Beijing, give rise to renewed interest in many events where the UK stands a good chance of winning medals. One of these events is the heptathlon, which is an athletics contest made up of seven separate events (from the Greek hepta (seven) and athlon (contest)). The heptathlon is contested outdoors by women and consists of the following events over 2 days, in the order shown below. ----------------------------------------- 100 m hurdle High jump DAY 1 Shot put 200 m ----------------------------------------- Long jump Javelin throw DAY 2 800 m ----------------------------------------- Activity 1 Find out all the athletics events that exist for women in the Olympic Games. If you had to choose 7 of them to best represent the complete range of events, which ones would you choose? Are your choices in line with those that are actually in the heptathlon? __________________________________________________ Scoring is based on adding the points scored for each event. A formula is used that gives a score of 1000 points for a very good performance. The current world record is 7291 points by the USA athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee in the Seoul, South Korea, Olympic Games in September 1988.
