Die Laureus World Sports Awards FAST FACTS – DIE LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS AWARDS Die jährliche Vergabe der Laureus World Sports Awards ist die einzige weltweite Preisverleihung, mit der die besten Sportlerinnen und Sportler für ihre Leistungen in allen Disziplinen geehrt werden. Die Laureus World Sports Awards wurden am 27. Februar 2018 zum 19. Mal vergeben. Jährlich verfolgen mehrere Millionen Zuschauer in 160 Ländern die Laureus-Zeremonie. Die Laureus World Sports Awards wurden im Jahr 1999 durch die Daimler AG und Richemont ins Leben gerufen. Die zu der Daimler AG und Richemont gehörenden Marken Mercedes-Benz und IWC Schaffhausen sind die Hauptpartner von Laureus. Es gibt ein zweiteiliges Auswahlverfahren zur Ermittlung der Gewinner der Laureus World Sports Awards. Zuerst nominiert ein Gremium von weltweit führenden Sportredakteuren, Sportautoren und Sportreportern aus über 100 Ländern sechs Personen (bzw. Teams) für jede Kategorie. Die Stimmen werden durch die unabhängige Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP kollationiert, dann bestimmen die Mitglieder der Laureus World Sports Academy in geheimer Wahl die Gewinner. Die Laureus World Sports Academy besteht aus über 60 legendären Sportlerinnen und Sportlern aus der ganzen Welt. Ihr Vorsitzender ist die neuseeländische Rugby-Legende Sean Fitzpatrick. Es gibt fünf Kategorien, die von den internationalen Medien und der Akademie gewählt werden: Laureus World Sportsman of the Year, Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year, Laureus World Team of the Year, Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year und Laureus World Comeback of the Year. In zwei weiteren Kategorien wird von Spezialistengremien gewählt: der/die Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year, von weltweit führenden Berichterstattern des alternativen Sports und der/die Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability; diese Kategorie wird vom Exekutivkomitee des Internationalen Paralympischen Komitees bestimmt. Es gibt weitere Ehrungen, die durch die Gründer und die Akademie vergeben werden können: Den Laureus Spirit of Sport Award, den Laureus Sporting Inspiration Awards sowie den Laureus Sport for Good Award, der an Personen und Projekte verliehen wird, die einen herausragenden Beitrag für die Gesellschaft geleistet haben. Die Laureus Academy kann weitere Laureus-Awards ausloben und vergeben. So wurden 2018 zusätzlich der Laureus Academy Exceptional Achievement Award sowie der Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award verliehen. Laureus ist das lateinische Wort für Lorbeer - das universale Symbol für den Sieg im Sport. Jeder Gewinner erhält eine exklusiv von Cartier hergestellte Laureus Statuette. Der universale Charakter des Sports wird durch eine Darstellung der fünf Kontinente hervorgehoben, die auf dem Sockel eingraviert sind. Die Statuetten sind 30 cm hoch und wiegen 2,5 kg. Jede der Figuren enthält 670 g gediegenes Silber und hat einen 650 g schweren vergoldeten Sockel. Neben ihrer Rolle bei der Ehrung sportlicher Leistungen durch die Laureus World Sports Awards haben Daimler und Richemont in Partnerschaft mit der Laureus World Sports Academy ein innovativ karitatives Unternehmen errichtet - die Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. Diese Stiftung wird durch die Gründer jährlich mit einer Spende von einer Million Euro unterstützt. 2018 LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS AWARDS WINNERS Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Roger Federer Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Serena Williams Laureus World Team of the Year Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Sergio Garcia Laureus World Comeback of the Year Roger Federer Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability Marcel Hug Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year Armel le Cléac’h Laureus Sport for Good Award Active Communities Network Laureus Sporting Inspiration J.

Potter, 43, and the other man, Graham Hunt, 29, leapt near dusk off Taft Point, a promontory about 3,000 feet above the floor of Yosemite Valley, not far from the iconic granite masses of El Capitan and Half Dome. Flying in wingsuits, they tried to clear a notch in the granite cliffs but instead smashed into the rocks in quick succession. “It’s tremendously sad,” said Gauthier, an occasional climbing partner of Potter, who lived in Yosemite. “Dean was part of this community and had such an impact on climbing. He was a luminary and in the pantheon of climbing gods.” INTRODUCTION: Half Dome mountain at left in Yosemite National Park is 4800 feet from valley floor to summit.

  • New Routes, Major Linkups, and Speed Ascents
    AAC Publications Summary: new routes, major linkups, and speed ascents California, Yosemite National Park In addition to the routes described in more detail in this section, as well as Mikey Schaefer’s Father Time route on Middle Cathedral [see feature article in this AAJ], there are a few other significant new routes to report from Yosemite Valley in 2012. Luis “Lucho” Rivera and Dan McDevitt free-climbed Romulan Freebird (10 pitches, V 5.12b/c) on Fifi Buttress, across from the Leaning Tower. McDevitt first established the route as an aid climb in 1999. The free version is described as a harder version of the Rostrum, with thin and sustained 5.12 cracks. Additionally, Alex Honnold set out to free the 1,550’ west face of the Leaning Tower, freeing the lower portion of the wall directly via a hard slab he called A Gift From Wyoming (550’, 3 pitches, 5.13c), in honor of the late Todd Skinner, who originally projected the upper west face. The upper portion, a potential free version of the aid route Jesus Built My Hotrod, is estimated at hard 5.14 or even 5.15 and awaits a successful redpoint. Video #2: BD athlete Alex Honnold making the first ascent of A Gift From Wyoming (5.13) on Yosemite's Leaning Tower from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo. Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell completed the first free one-day ascent of the “Yosemite Triple,” which linked the south face of Mt. Watkins, Freerider on El Capitan, and the Regular Northwest Face on Half Dome—about 7,000’ vertical—in a combined time of 21:15 from the base of Mt.

  • Felix Baumgartner - the Man Who Fell to Earth
    Felix Baumgartner - The Man Who Fell To Earth. A Report by Red Bull Stratos Mission Control On 14th October 2012 Felix Baumgartner, aged 43, flew into the Stratosphere over New Mexico, USA in a helium balloon, wearing a pressure suit. He jumped from 36402 m from the balloon’s capsule, free falling for around 6 minutes then using a parachute to land on Earth again. The whole jump took about 10 minutes. Felix broke the sound barrier on his descent with a top speed of 1342.8 km/hour, the first human to do this without an engine. He also broke the world records for the highest piloted balloon flight and highest altitude jump. Lots has been written and said about Felix’s amazing descent to Earth but not so much about his journey upwards in the balloon and what would have happened if Felix hadn’t jumped when he did and just carried on upwards to the Exosphere. Looking at the diagram there are 5 main layers of the atmosphere. The balloon started off at ground level in the Troposphere. The Troposphere goes up for about 10km. Nearly all weather happens here, as 99% of water vapour is found in the Troposphere. As you climb higher in the Troposphere air pressure drops and temperatures drop too. Felix might have noticed the temperature getting a bit colder at this point. Now Felix would have moved into the Stratosphere. This goes from the top of the Troposphere to about 50km above ground. The ozone layer is found here. Ozone molecules in this layer absorb high energy UV light from the Sun and convert this energy into heat.

  • 21. Díl – Red Bull Stratos Aneb Nadzvukový Muž Felix Baumgartner „Občas Se Musíte Dostat Opravdu Vysoko, Abyste Pochopili, Jak Malí Jste
    21. díl – Red Bull Stratos aneb nadzvukový muž Felix Baumgartner „Občas se musíte dostat opravdu vysoko, abyste pochopili, jak malí jste. Vracím se domů.“ Slova, která pronesl před svým historickým skokem z výšky téměř 39 km rakouský parašutista Felix Baumgartner. Zcela bez nadsázky lze říci, že tímto svým výkonem přepsal část dějin letectví. Navzdory některým názorům, že celý podnik sloužil jen ke zviditelnění značky Red Bull, na následujících řádcích ukáži, že ve skutečnosti šlo o zcela regulérní výzkumný program, v jehož rámci bylo dosaženo ohromně pozoruhodného výkonu, díky kterému si Felix Baumgartner zaslouží své místo v dějinách letectví po boku velikánů, jakými jsou Chuck Yeager anebo Jurij Gagarin. 14. říjen 2012 je dnem, kdy se skokem z výšky 38 969 metrů podařilo vůbec poprvé překonat rychlost zvuku ve volném pádu mimo dopravní prostředek a bez jakéhokoli pohonu. Kromě dosažení několika dalších rekordů bylo získáno velké množství cenných dat a informací o chování lidského těla v extrémních podmínkách, a v neposlední řadě byly položeny základy pro novou generaci systémů umožňujících záchranu lidského života v mimořádně velkých výškách, což je oblast, která s nastupující érou vesmírné turistiky nabývá na významu. Manhigh, Excelsior a Joe Kittinger Protože projekt Red Bull Stratos sdílí mnoho styčných bodů s programy, kterých se v druhé polovině padesátých a na počátku šedesátých let účastnil Joseph Kittinger, jenž se stal poradcem, konzultantem a mentorem Stratosu, hodí se je hned zkraje alespoň stručně představit. První z nich byl předstupněm amerického vesmírného programu, ve druhém šlo o zkoušky systému pro záchranu pilotů tehdejších nejmodernějších stíhacích strojů, kteří by byli nuceni se katapultovat ve velkých výškách.

  • Genre Bending Narrative, VALHALLA Tells the Tale of One Man’S Search for Satisfaction, Understanding, and Love in Some of the Deepest Snows on Earth
    62 Years The last time Ken Brower traveled down the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado was with his father, David Brower, in 1952. This was the year his father became the first executive director of the Sierra Club and joined the fight against a pair of proposed dams on the Green River in Northwest Colorado. The dams would have flooded the canyons of the Green and its tributary, Yampa, inundating the heart of Dinosaur National Monument. With a conservation campaign that included a book, magazine articles, a film, a traveling slideshow, grassroots organizing, river trips and lobbying, David Brower and the Sierra Club ultimately won the fight ushering in a period many consider the dawn of modern environmentalism. 62 years later, Ken revisited the Yampa & Green Rivers to reflect on his father's work, their 1952 river trip, and how we will confront the looming water crisis in the American West. 9 Minutes. Filmmaker: Logan Bockrath 2010 Brower Youth Awards Six beautiful films highlight the activism of The Earth Island Institute’s 2011 Brower Youth Award winners, today’s most visionary and strategic young environmentalists. Meet Girl Scouts Rhiannon Tomtishen and Madison Vorva, 15 and 16, who are winning their fight to green Girl Scout cookies; Victor Davila, 17, who is teaching environmental education through skateboarding; Alex Epstein and Tania Pulido, 20 and 21, who bring urban communities together through gardening; Junior Walk, 21 who is challenging the coal industry in his own community, and Kyle Thiermann, 21, whose surf videos have created millions of dollars in environmentally responsible investments.

    Since 1995, the X Games has been at the forefront of Action Sports, constantly driving progression and innovation to new heights. Two brand new series, produced by ESPN, now chart the development of these sports and showcase the X Games’ place in the rise from the niche beginnings to global industry of today. X Games Heroes (10 x 30’) features ten of the most important athletes ever to have graced the X Games, both Summer and Winter. From the legendary figure of Tony Hawk, possibly the most recognisable of all action sports athletes and the first skateboarder anywhere to perform the ‘900’, to Shaun White, arguably the best in the world today on both snowboard and skateboard. Each episode is dedicated to the story of a single athlete. Xtraordinary (10 x 30’) highlights the best moments from the last 16 years of the X Games in ten themed programmes. The First Ever episodes feature the groundbreaking nature of the X Games: be it Travis Pastrana’s first ever double back flip on a motorbike or Tony Hawk’s ‘900’, these are all tricks that had never been seen before. Other episodes within this series capture the best moments, slams, surprises, and featured athlete groups from games past.
