Grußwort Liebe Medienvertreter, Herzlich Willkommen zu adidas ROCKSTARS 2012! Wir freuen uns, die zweite Auflage unseres Boulder Einladungswettbewerbs in der wunderschönen Porsche- Arena in Stuttgart zu veranstalten, einer der modernsten Sportarenen Europas. In diesem Jahr treten rund 70 Weltklasseathleten aus 20 Nation an, darunter vier der Medaillengewinner der Boulder WM 2011 sowie 13 der Top 10 Damen und Herren der aktuellen IFSC Weltrangliste. Sie können sich also auf einen erstklassigen Wettkampf freuen. Als wir die Idee zu adidas ROCKSTARS entwickelten, erzählte uns nahezu jeder Athlet, dass sich die besten Wettkämpfe durch eine tolle Atmosphäre und gute Musik auszeichnen. Das bestärkte uns in unserem Ansatz, ‚Rock Climbing’ und ‚Rock Music’ live auf einer Bühne miteinander zu kombinieren. In diesem Jahr wird die Schweizer Rockband Sideburn das Finale der Top 6 Damen und Herren live begleiten. Doch nicht nur die Boulderelite steht an diesem Wochenende im Rampenlicht. Viele talentierte und aufstrebende Amateurkletterer aus 8 verschiedenen Nationen haben sich für den „GORE-TEX Be a Rockstar“ Contest angemeldet, um sich eine Wildcard für den Profiwettkampf zu sichern.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

Kahden suuren milanolaisen jalkapalloseuran – punamustan Milanin ja sinimustan Interin – ultrakannattajien yhteisöllisyyttä tarkastellaan jälkidurkheimilaisen teorianmuodos- tuksen valossa.

    Snips and Snipes 8 February 2018 the Threat That the IOC May Drop Boxing from the 2020 Olympic Games Should Come As No Surprise

    Snips and Snipes 8 February 2018 The threat that the IOC may drop boxing from the 2020 Olympic Games should come as no surprise. For a few years now the AIBA which has responsibility for administrating International “amateur” boxing-but let’s not kid ourselves the Olympics Games are no longer for amateurs-have too long been focusing on making money rather than developing the sport. For a few years they have through the WSB and other initiatives helped make the transition from AIBA to professional boxing easier for elite boxers. However they have failed to tackle the quality of judging and refereeing and have failed to put in place and to police internal controls leaving themselves open to allegations of mismanagement and profligacy taking the organisation to the edge of bankruptcy. The criticism over their handling of boxing at the Rio Olympics had already put them under the IOC spotlight and then they went and shot themselves in the foot over the appointment of an interim President . They selected a man who has been sanctioned by the United States Treasury Department for alleged links to a major “transnational criminal organisation”. I can almost imagine the conversation “We need an interim President let’s appoint Gafur Rakhimov” with one voice saying “ isn’t he sanctioned by the United States Treasury Department for alleged link to a major “transnational criminal organisation”. “Yes sounds just the man for the job”! A ban from the Olympics would be a huge blow for boxing’s prestige but it is more difficult to decide whether it would have any repercussions for professional boxing.

As the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 came to an end, Tokyo residents bid them farewell with a final visit to the Olympic Agora, a cultural hub celebrating Olympism, which closed on Sunday 15 August. Spearheaded by the Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage (OFCH), the IOC’s division for the arts, culture and heritage, the project featured a series of visual art installations, exhibitions and digital programmes on the Olympic spirit and values, including the landmark commission of a permanent, site-specific sculpture that will remain in Tokyo’s central Nihonbashi district. 1 The Olympic Agora was adapted at the outset to ensure staff and visitor safety, in compliance with local and national COVID-19 rules and countermeasures. On-site visitor numbers were strictly controlled through an online pre-booking system. Over the course of its six-week opening, the Olympic Agora welcomed thousands of local visitors – giving many unable to attend the Games’ sports competitions an opportunity to engage directly with Olympic culture – and even larger regional and international audiences via its digital programmes. The installations and activations were complemented by a robust digital programme, including virtual exhibitions available on the Olympic Agora website and The Olympic Museum’s social media channels for local and global audiences. The website remains accessible for global audiences until 15 October.
