Naturally, the level or degree of adaptation is dependent on the genetical endowment of an individual. However, the general trends or patterns of adaptation are identified by physiological research, and guidelines are clearly delineated of the various adaptation processes, such as adaptation to muscular endurance or maximum strength.

This declaration by the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, celebrates the important role of sport in our Canadian identity. It is an apt title, as in 2015 Canada hosts both the Canada Winter Games and the Pan Am Games. While both events will see amazing competition from incredible Canadian athletes, the two events are very different. The Canada Winter Games are hosted on the west coast in beautiful Prince George, British Columbia, and will see fierce competition among Canada’s finest young winter sport athletes, who are the next generation of Olympians. By contrast, the Pan Am Games will Winston Chow/COC be hosted in multiple locations in and around Toronto, Ontario, featuring Canada’s world-class athletes competing in summer sports. FROM OUR Your donations are vital to both of these initiatives, as the Canadian Olympic Foundation grants funds to both the Canadian EXECUTIVE Team at the Pan Am Games, and the Canada Games. In this edition of Strive, we feature articles about the impact of the DIRECTOR Canada Games on Canadian athletes, and offer a sneak peek into the preparations for the Pan Am Games. We want to share with you the impact that your gift has on our athletes, coaches, officials and, indeed, all Canadians. Please enjoy this edition of Strive.

    Ol' Bear, Ol' Beer, Ol' Broom

    Issue 1 – Saturday, March 2, 2013 • An Official Publication of the Canadian Curling Association. Ol’ Bear, Ol’ Beer, Ol’ Broom Alberta’s Kevin Martin, Ontario’s Glenn Howard and Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton. This trio has dominated Brier play for the past two decades and are the faves this week in Edmonton again. MIKE BURNS/CCA Page 2 2013 Tim Hortons Brier – Tankard Times Can the Bear protect his den? BY JIM MORRIS The Heart Chart The Old Bear is waiting in his den. Kevin Martin, a world and Olympic champion, wants to make history in his home town at this week’s Tim Hortons Brier. The man nicknamed The Old Bear is clawing to become the first skip to win five Brier titles. Doing it in his own back- yard would make it extra sweet. Martin and his rink of third John Morris, second Marc Ken- nedy and lead Ben Hebert rode a home-town advantage when they won the 2009 Olympic trials in Edmonton. They went on to win the gold medal at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancou- ver. “That was awesome,” said Martin, eyes shining at the mem- ory. “The energy of the crowd is really something when you are the home team. “At the Brier . everybody is wearing their provincial col- ours. It’s just going to be a hoot.” The only other skips with four Brier wins are Randy Ferbey and Ernie Richardson. A field of 11 other teams will be laying traps from Mar- tin. Among the rinks hunting bear at this year’s competition, which begins Saturday at Rexall Place, will be Ontario’s Glenn Howard, the defending Brier and world champion who is mak- ing his record 15th appearance at the Canadian men’s curling championship; Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton, the 2011 Brier and world champion; Brad Gushue of Newfoundland/Labrador, the 2006 Olympic gold medallist; and Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard, the 2006 Brier champion.
  • A Rövidpályás Gyorskorcsolyázás Hazai Története

    A Rövidpályás Gyorskorcsolyázás Hazai Története

    A RÖVIDPÁLYÁS GYORSKORCSOLYÁZÁS HAZAI TÖRTÉNETE Bevezetés A rövidpályás gyorskorcsolyázás, közismert megnevezéssel a short track első hivatalos világ- bajnokságát 1978-ban rendezték az angliai Solihullban, majd 1988-ban Calgaryban, a Téli Olimpiai Játékokon szerepelt bemutató versenyszámként. A következő olimpián, 1992-ben: Albertville-ben már teljes jogú sportágként szerepelt az olimpiai programban, s ahol már magyar versenyzők (Kaszala Tamara és Kun Bálint Tibor) is rajthoz álltak. Azonban micsoda fejlődésen ment keresztül ez a sportág. Hiszen, ha a sportág első világbajnokságán az 500 méteres döntő eredményeit és a 2016. évi világbajnokság döntőjét összehasonlítjuk, akkor láthatóvá válik ez az óriási fejlődés: 1978 2016 1. Alan Rattray (USA) 47.090 1. Liu Shaolin Sándor (HUN) 41.485 2. Harry Spragg (GBR) 47.420 2. Dajing Wu (CHN) 41.550 3. Jim Lynch (AUS) 47.610 3. Liu Shaoang (HUN) 41.994 4. Hirosi Toda (JPN) 1:02.270 4. Yi Ra Seo (KOR) 42.157 Ezzel összegezhetnénk a rövidpályás gyorskorcsolyázás szenzációs karrierjét a nemzetközi porondon és Magyarországon is. Idehaza 1985-től számoljuk a short track-es "időszámítást", amikor a Magyar Jégsport Szövetség megbízta Martos Györgyöt, a legsikeresebb és legered- ményesebb volt nagypályás gyorskorcsolyázót - tizenötszörös magyar bajnokunkat - az új szakág megszervezésével. Ezek után a rövidpályás gyorskorcsolyázás hazai fejlődését ugyancsak "szenzációs"-nak kell titulálnunk a nemzetközi short track élethez viszonyítva. Hiszen a semmiből született meg az új szakág, először a budapesti iskolás-sportra építve, majd egyre jobban bevonva a vidék dinamikusan fejlődő korcsolyasportját. Vagyis Martos György a volt nagypályás gyorskorcsolyázókkal karöltve kitűnő munkát végzett. Magyar Bajnokságot a rövidpályás gyorskorcsolyázásban csak 1989-ben bonyolították le először, mert ezt megelőzően bár 1986-tól több verseny volt, de ezek közül egyik sem volt a sportág bajnoksága.

The action-packed day includes the Ladies’ 500m qualifying heats (final on February 13) and the Ladies’ 3000m Relay qualifying heats (final on February 20) but the highlight of the day will be the Men’s 1500m final. World Record holder Knegt will battle it out with home favorites In order to reach the final, skaters have to go through the qualifying heats of the 1500m. 1500m World Record holder Sjinkie Knegt (NED) will attempt to become the first Dutch Short Track Speed Skater to win an Olympic gold medal in this sport. When asked about his goals in PyeongChang 2018 Knegt commented: “Four gold medals is maybe a little bit too high, but I know the competitions are is hard. If I'm four times on the podium I should be OK with it. But of course, I'm hoping and I'm going for (at least) one gold medal." Knegt will face tough competition from a strong Korean squad, who will be competing on home ice. Hwang Dae Heon (KOR) is in top form this season, having won most 1500m races he competed in, putting him first in the World Cup ranking in this distance.

WORLD SEARCH FOR INSPIRATION INS Québec CEO Marc Gélinas began working with the organization in June 2008 and by September that year a working group was already making plans for its next steps. “We knew other countries were working on a sport institute concept so we researched how that could work for us,” he says. “We ran work sessions and focus groups with coaches, athletes – for both Olympic and Paralympic focuses – scientists and medical staff. We wanted to know what they had seen around the world and asked what we could do to provide athletes with a world-class environment.” To complement what they had heard from participants, the INS executive team visited Australia and England extensively as well as the USOC Training Centre in Colorado Springs. “We’ve also had a lot of exchanges with Spain and locally, we went to several Canadian facilities as well as the Montreal Canadiens’ hockey team training centre in Brossard, Quebec.” Pag.

In 1952, the Netherlands joined the competition and an international movement was born. The very first Olympic style Games for athletes with a disability were organized in Rome in 1960. In Toronto in 1976, other disability groups, other than spinal cord injuries, were added and the idea of merging various disability groups for international sport competitions began. In the same year, the first Paralympic Winter Games took place in Sweden. Today, the Paralympics are elite sport events for athletes from six different disability groups.
