Bernard Barmasai Event Global Sports Communication PROFILE Name: Bernard Barmasai Event: Road Races Place of birth: Baringo, Kenya Date of birth: 6 May 1974 Residence: Kipkabus, Kenya Height: 1.73m Weight: 54kg Marital status: Married to Joyce, 3 daughters: Mercy, Maureen, Sherleen. Sponsor: ADIDAS Personal best: 3.000m steeple chase 7.55.72 3.000m 7.36.40 10 K 28.07 10 Miles 45.59 ½ Marathon 62.05 Marathon 2.08.52 SHORT BIOGRAPHY Bernard Barmasai is not only famous for owning the world record in the steeplechase, but also for the way he takes the water jumps in his races. He accelerates 40 meters before the obstacle and without touching the barrier he jumps right over most of the water. A technique that has not yet been copied. After winning the All-African Games in 1995, Bernard came to run the IAAF cross-country challenge in the winter of 1996/1997. He scored enough points to go to the World Cross-Country Championships in Turin where he finished 6th. With that position he gathered so many points that he took second place in the IAAF challenge. Bernard, who has always been a very disciplined athlete, started to train even harder and that same summer it paid off. It would be the first year that Moses Kiptanui's hegemony was broken. Cologne was the first time he outsprinted the world famous steeplechaser and he finished in a fabulous new world record of 7:55.72. Bernard knows he is not such a fast finisher and therefore, he tries to make sure that he runs the last lap by himself, losing his competitors in the early stage of a race. At the start of the 1999 season he made a superb impression when winning the first three Golden League races without any signs of fatigue. Unfortunately, Bernard got involved in a confusing argument with the IAAF and was not allowed to go for the 1 Global Sports Communication Snelliusstr 10, 6533 NV Nijmegen, The Netherlands 0031 24 251 50 77, fax 0031 24 351 50 88 www.globalsportscommunication.nl Global Sports Communication Golden League Jackpot. Although he was confused by the IAAF's decision, Bernard managed to continue his great season, winning his event at the IAAF Grand Prix Final and being crowned '1999 Overall Grand Prix Winner'. The father of two daughters started running seriously in 1993. The most important reason was his incompetence with the game of soccer, the other big sport in Africa. Like Kiptanui, Bernard has a group of athletes who train with him. Under his supervision they try to reach the same level as he has because in Kenya winning the steeplechase in major championships is of national importance. At the Olympic Games in Sydney, Bernard finished 4th, which did not meet his expectations. It's strange, but it's true: the world record holder and winner of many Grand Prix and Golden League races has yet to win a major title. His competitors better be careful as Bernard has made winning a major title to be his personal challenge for 2001 and beyond!

  • The Things Runners Have Built
    The Things Runners Have Built Jackie Lebo takes us to Eldoret, Kenya where development is taking place thanks to the investment of earnings of Kenyan runners. On this hot Saturday in early June, it seems half of Eldoret has come to shop for groceries at Tusker Mattresses Supermarket. The parking lot across the road is full. People come out, from whole families laden with paper bags branded with the supermarket logo to lone women balancing bags on their heads braving the blistering sun on their long walk home. Tusker Mattresses Supermarket is located on two floors of the five-story Komora Centre, a large building in the middle of town that covers almost an entire city block. It is owned by Moses Kiptanui, the runner who dominated the 3000 m steeplechase races for about five years in the nineties. Kiptanui broke world records, won awards, and the only thing that eluded him was the Olympic gold, which he lost by a razor thin margin to fellow Kenyan Joseph Keter in the 1996 Atlanta games. The steeplechase is special. Even more than other middle and long distance races that have brought Kenyans fame, Kenyan steeplechasers have won all eight times they entered during the last ten Olympics. In 1976 and 1980 Kenya boycotted the Olympics. It is fitting that Kiptanui, one of Kenya’s most successful athletes, is now one of the largest athlete-investors in Eldoret. Eldoret is experiencing a property boom, with growth rates of almost 8%, three times the national average. The changing skyline shows the continuing investment of runners in commercial real estate.

  • Carmen Douma-Hussar
    CAMBRIDGE SPORTS HALL OF FAME Carmen Douma-Hussar March 12, 1977 - Hespeler native Carmen Douma-Hussar is without a doubt the finest female middle distance runner Cambridge has ever produced. What's more, she is one the finest in Canadian history. A native of Hespeler, her parents Martin and Agnes were sup- portive of her running career. "They were very encouraging, but never overbearing, and at the same time being excited for me." From an early age she shone on the track and at cross-country events. In high school she was a standout at Woodland Christian High School in Breslau. There she developed into one of the best high school runners in Canada. As her stellar high school athletic career was drawing to a close, she earned a scholarship to Villanova University in Pennsylvania, a private university just northwest of Philadelphia. Not only did her experience there exceed her expectations, she established lifelong friendships. First and foremost, she had an outstanding running career at Villanova, where she rose to the top of the NCAA, winning three individual titles in the late 1990s. "Villanova was one of the top middle distance schools and was definitely on my radar, but Krestena Sullivan went there, and she was a senior when I was a freshman. I knew her from high school, so that was also a big reason I chose Villanova because I knew she liked it." In 1998 Douma won the NCAA indoor mile title and the outdoor title over 1,500 metres at the national championships Carmen Douma-Hussar in Buffalo June 3-6.

    Marketing Consultancy Report - Papa Massata Diack CEO, Pamodzi Sports Consulting Presented to: IAAF Marketing Commission 3rd May 2015, Bahamas Content • Foreword • Personal Background • Key Milestones • Achievements • Summary 2 Foreword It is an honour and privilege to have worked since 2007 with IAAF & its exclusive worldwide marketing partner, Dentsu INC. to sell the number one Olympic sport, Athletics. The background of the relationship dated back to May 2001, when ISL Marketing AG was declared bankrupt and I was consulted informally by the IAAF President, Mr. Lamine Diack and IAAF Vice President & Marketing Commission, Prof. Dr. Helmut Digel, to give advise on the selection of a replacement company. It was only in July 2006 when I first attended the IAAF Marketing Commission meeting at IAAF World Junior Championships Beijing 2006 when my personal contribution was then formally requested based on my suggestion to reach out to Emerging Markets including BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China South Africa)Asia (including Middle East), NACAC and Oceania regions. My appointment was confirmed by IAAF President in September 2007. Then in 2009, the IAAF Council introduced the IAAF Continental Programme in its decentralization policy and my company was appointed as the main coordinator for this property. Thanks to all the stakeholders that have made this journey possible and especially Athletics Management & Services AG (AMS) with whom I co-operate with closely in order to achieve these goals. I am grateful for their total dedication to service Athletics and to 3 strengthen the business model of IAAF & Dentsu over the years. Personal Background Started in 1989, attended the 5th IAAF World Cup in Athletics in BarcelonaSpain, where I met ISL Marketing AG executives (Peter Sprogis & Craig Thompson).
