    News Release MEDIA CONTACT: Diane Eustace, (303) 807-5722 [email protected] 2019 World Para Alpine Skiing National Championships Winter Park March 26-30, 2019 Adaptive Athletes Compete for Placement on 2022 Paralympic National Teams Denver, Colo. (Mar 23, 2019) – The National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) will host the 2019 World Para Alpine Skiing National Championships March 26-30 at Winter Park Resort. More than 60 adaptive athletes from 10 different nations will compete in this event to earn points to qualify for their respective Paralympic teams. “Hosting the National Championships with so many outstanding athletes from around the world competing here in Winter Park is truly amazing. This event shows everyone watching that these athletes are not people with disabilities, but people with a true competitive spirit,” says Erik Petersen, NSCD Competition Director. Adaptive athletes combine speed and agility while racing down slopes at speeds in excess of 60 mph. Competition accommodates male and female athletes with a physical impairments such as spinal injury, cerebral palsy, amputation and blindness/vision impairment. Athletes compete in three categories based on their functional ability, and a factor system allows athletes with different impairments to compete against each other. Athletes compete in three events: Super-G, Giant Slalom and Slalom to earn points that eventually determine their standing on the national team and who will be representing their respective country in the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Beijing, China. Athletes competing include: Andrew Kurka, the US sit-skier who took gold in the men’s downhill and silver in the super-G in the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea; Kurt Oatway, the Canadian won gold at the 2018 Winter Paralympics in men's sitting Super G; and Alana Ramsay, Canadian stand skier won bronze medals in the Super G and Super combined in PyeongChang.

Bolt, who was once a 200-meter specialist, broke the 100-meter world mark for the third time during a thrilling showdown with Tyson Gay at the World Outdoor Championships in Berlin on Aug. 16, 2009. The Jamaican pulled ahead of Gay early in the race and never let up, finishing in 9.58 seconds. The victory came exactly one year after Bolt broke the record for the second time, winning the 2008 Olympic gold medal in 9.69. 2. 200 Meters Usain Bolt, Jamaica, 19.19. Bolt broke his own world mark at the 2009 World Outdoor Track & Field Championships, where he finished in 19.19 seconds on Aug. 20. He first broke Michael Johnson's 12-year-old mark during the Olympic final exactly one year earlier, finishing in 19.30 seconds while running into a slight headwind (0.9 kilometers per hour). 3. 400 Meters Michael Johnson, USA, 43.18. Many expected Johnson to eventually break Butch Reynolds' mark of 43.29 seconds, set in 1988, but 1999 seemed an unlikely year for the record to fall. Johnson suffered from leg injuries that season, missed the U.S. Championships and ran only four 400-meter races before the World Championships (where he gained an automatic entry as the defending champ). By the day of the World final, however, it was apparent that Johnson was in top form and that Reynolds' record was in jeopardy.

  • Great Awards for the Nominations Sent by Panathlon International to The
    Great Awards for the nominations sent by Panathlon International to the International Fair Play Committee A shining Budapest on the day of its national celebration in recollection in that distant March 15, 1948, which marked the beginning of the insurrection that led to its first independent government and its first Constitution, welcomed the members of the Council of the Comité International pour le Fair Play for their first meeting of 2019. Among the decisions to be taken, the awarding of the World Fair Play awards. The nominations came from 19 countries world- wide, of these 12 were proposed by Panathlon International: France, Italy and Uruguay the Districts represented. With considerable satisfaction a good quality of nominations were taken into account/registered in all four award categories: Gesture, Career, Promotion and the Jacques Rogge Award dedicated to young people. The preliminary stage for nominations produced by the two Vice-Presidents respectively Mr. Nikolai Dolgopolov (RUS) and Mr. Maurizio Monego (I) has proven to be as always useful at introducing discussion issues. The resulting decisions were not easy due to the validity of the nominations/candidacies and the difficulty of comparing sport and circumstances widely differing from one another. Ultimately, we believe that the true spirit of Fair Play has emerged no matter what/regardless. This fact has led in assigning more than one award with the here below results: Categoria Pierre de Coubertin per il Gesto Awarded two Trophies and 3 Diplomas of Honour A Trophy was awarded to Norwegian Eiving Vold, canoe category athlete who sought doggedly the truth concerning his passing the marker and wasn’t sure of being fair.

  • Energy and Nutrient Issues in Athletes with Spinal Cord Injury: Are They at Risk for Low Energy Availability?
    nutrients Review Energy and Nutrient Issues in Athletes with Spinal Cord Injury: Are They at Risk for Low Energy Availability? Katherine Figel 1,*, Kelly Pritchett 1, Robert Pritchett 1 and Elizabeth Broad 2 1 Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA 98926, USA; [email protected] (K.P.); [email protected] (R.P.) 2 United States Olympic Committee, Chula Vista, CA 91915, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: Katherine.fi[email protected]; Tel.: +1-206-755-1001 Received: 8 June 2018; Accepted: 6 August 2018; Published: 13 August 2018 Abstract: Low energy availability (LEA) and nutrient intake have been well studied in able-bodied athletes, but there is a lack of research examining these issues amongst athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI). To date, there have been no studies that have examined energy availability (EA) amongst this population. Furthermore, athletes with SCI may experience unique challenges around nutrition that may increase their risk of LEA. This review will evaluate the literature and assess whether this population is at risk for LEA. Due to the limited research on this topic, sedentary individuals with SCI and para athletes were also included in this review. Review of the current literature suggests that athletes with SCI may be at an increased risk for LEA. While research examining EA and risk of LEA in athletes with SCI is lacking, the number of athletes with SCI continues to increase; therefore, further research is warranted to assess nutrient and energy needs and their risk to this population. Keywords: spinal cord injury; athlete; energy availability; nutrient deficiency; low energy availability; bone mineral density; para athlete; menstrual dysfunction; Female Athlete Triad; Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports (RED-S) 1.

Before the successful 2015 bid, just 50 para-athletes had regis- tered with the federation, but the number is now over 1,000, added Zhang, who is also executive pres- ident of the committee that is organizing Beijing 2022 . China sent a team to the Winter Paralympics for the first time in 2002, when four Paralympians competed in the cross-country and Alpine skiing disciplines.
