SQUEEZE STRESS OUT 3 editor’s letter The games of our lives Life lessons from Olympians: It’s often the small things that count. N our cover story on Canada’s Olympic divers Alexandre Despatie and Jennifer Abel, you will read about how their lives consist mainly of training, travelling and competing. I They miss out on a lot of the things that others their age take for granted, like simply hanging out. Yet, there is a lot more than drudgery to their lives. The smiles in the photographs on our cover and in the story inside reveal a radiance that is hard to match. When Alexandre and Jennifer dive they get an adrenaline rush—they are doing what they came on earth to do. They feel good. All that exercise and healthy food helps, but it is more than that. Their lives have a purpose. They are aiming for gold in all the events they compete in. Yet as all athletes know, you don’t win every time. You compete because you love your sport. Consequently, you love your life. As our story reveals, thousands of the world’s best athletes will converge on London for the Olympics. Besides the competition, they will enjoy the whole experience: The Olympic Village, the other athletes, the city of London. As Despatie told me, “The experience is so special it’s hard to describe.” The Olympics always remind me of my late father Leif Holt. He was an athlete in his youth and loved to watch high-level competition in any sport. Over the years he attended the Olympics THE JOYS OF LIFE TEND TO COME IN SMALL in London, Los Angeles and Montreal. Before he died he asked me to help him get to the Beijing DOSES: Associate Publisher Claire Rogers and Olympics—the only thing he ever asked me for. But he never made it. He had been to China years I are meeting on the floating dock outside before and talked about it ever since. our office. In winter we skate on the lake and in summer we swim.

Seb Coe, now in charge of the London Games, set a world record in the 1,500 metres. His feet seemed to barely touch the track. Teddy is now 92. As a school boy, he was all-England in rugby. We visited him in Norway a few months ago. He still gets up early to the walk the dog for an hour and, although he gave up cross-country skiing a few years ago, he still golfs and sails. He is still competitive. If we were going somewhere he was first out the door and first in line when we got there. He laughs a lot and truly enjoys his life. Get out the door. Do what you love. For me, more than anything this is the Olympic spirit.

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2007/A/1377 Melanie Rinaldi v. Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), award of 26 November 2007 Panel: Mr. Quentin Byrne-Sutton (Switzerland), Sole Arbitrator Swimming Change of sport nationality Interpretation and purpose of the requirement of the 12 month prior residence before a change of nationality Compatibility with Swiss Law of FINA GR 2.6 in particular with the principle of protection of personality rights and with the principle of Equality of treatment 1. The wording of GR 2.6 is clear in that it requires that a competitor have truly lived in the country for at least one complete year in order to qualify for a change of national affiliation. Separate stays that correspond to forms of visits rather than to establishing a home would not qualify as periods of residence even if they are numerous. 2. The purpose of GR 2.6 is to regulate changes of sports nationality in manner which preserves the interest of sport, of national federations that “invest” in their athletes and of the athletes. More specifically, in order to be indicative of a real “change” and to prevent “nation shopping”, residence needs to correspond to the centre of the athlete’s activity (in terms of everyday life, training and competing at national level) for a sufficiently significant period of time to establish that the new residence is not fictitious. The wording employed in GR 2.6, which is that a competitor must have resided in the new country for a full year prior to the request for change of affiliation, corresponds to the purpose of the clause.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

At the previous World Championships in Barcelona, the Chinese duet Wu Minxia and Shi Tingmao finished way ahead of their opponents edging out the Italian favourite Tania Cagnotto (ITA) with 30 points and leaving Canadian athlete, Jennifer Abel, far behind. By the way, together with Pamela Ware, the latter finished second at the leg of the FINA Diving World Series in Kazan, being beaten again by the same Chinese duet but pushing Russia’s Nadezhda Bazhina and Kristina Ilinykh into the bronze-medal place. Before the event, Tania Cagnotto of Italy considered athletes from China, Australia, Canada and Russia to be her main opponents. Another serious challenge was expected to come from US diver Abigail Johnston, the London 2012 Olympic silver medallist. All in all, it looked like a promising event. The very first dive was pretty much decisive; after scoring 55.20 the Chinese athletes took the lead at once. Meanwhile, the Australian and Italian divers were hard on their heels. The Malaysian athletes eventually placed 12th. In the third dive, the Italian divers faced some problems with synchronicity, which was pretty risky at the moment as by that time they were only one point ahead of the Canadian duet.
