    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2007/A/1377 Melanie Rinaldi v. Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), award of 26 November 2007 Panel: Mr. Quentin Byrne-Sutton (Switzerland), Sole Arbitrator Swimming Change of sport nationality Interpretation and purpose of the requirement of the 12 month prior residence before a change of nationality Compatibility with Swiss Law of FINA GR 2.6 in particular with the principle of protection of personality rights and with the principle of Equality of treatment 1. The wording of GR 2.6 is clear in that it requires that a competitor have truly lived in the country for at least one complete year in order to qualify for a change of national affiliation. Separate stays that correspond to forms of visits rather than to establishing a home would not qualify as periods of residence even if they are numerous. 2. The purpose of GR 2.6 is to regulate changes of sports nationality in manner which preserves the interest of sport, of national federations that “invest” in their athletes and of the athletes. More specifically, in order to be indicative of a real “change” and to prevent “nation shopping”, residence needs to correspond to the centre of the athlete’s activity (in terms of everyday life, training and competing at national level) for a sufficiently significant period of time to establish that the new residence is not fictitious. The wording employed in GR 2.6, which is that a competitor must have resided in the new country for a full year prior to the request for change of affiliation, corresponds to the purpose of the clause.

Architect: Lapointe, Magne et Associés Total area: 150,000 square feet Total participants: 475 high performance athletes Athletic options: 44 sports Staff: Over 900 coaches, 33 administration staff Total cost: $24.5 million Sport Architecture (Canada) Today, the iconic facility is home to the Institut national du sport du Québec (INS Quebec) at Olympic Park and serves as a multisport training, scientific and medical facility for National Olympic and Paralympic high-performance athletes from across Canada. 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.

  • Meaghan Benfeito Is Ready to Dethrone the Chinese Rivals in the Duna Arena
    http://fina-budapest2017.com/en/news/391/meaghan-benfeito-is-ready-to-dethrone-the-chinese-rivals-in-the-duna-arena Meaghan Benfeito is ready to dethrone the Chinese rivals in the Duna Arena 2017.04.07. 09:07 CET Diving has been dominated by the Chinese for many years, but there are some other countries, whose representatives have also been successful in this beautiful sport. Canadian Meaghan Benfeito has won plenty of medals in major events during her career at the Olympic Games and the FINA World Championships, most of them with her partner Roseline Filion. The 28-year-old athlete’s ambition is to compete at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, and the 17th FINA World Championships could be a very important step towards that. Meaghan Benfeito originally competed in swimming but switched after watching fellow Canadian divers Emilie Heymans and Alexandre Despatie dive. She became member of the Canadian national team in 2005, and she has been competing together with Roseline Filion in the 10m synchronised event. The pair surprisingly won the bronze medal at the 2005 FINA World Championships that was held in Benfeito’s home town Montreal. The young Canadian was only 16 years old. Benfeito and Filion has been inseparable since then, and they have achieved a lot of good results together. They finished third at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne as well, and they qualified for the Beijing Olympics after they beat teammates Heymans and Marie-Eve Marleau. In Beijing they failed to win a medal (they finished 7th), but four years later at the London Olympics they won the bronze medal in the 10m synchro.

  • Socialympics: How Sports Organizations and Athletes Used Social Media at London 2012
    SOCIALYMPICS: HOW SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS AND ATHLETES USED SOCIAL MEDIA AT LONDON 2012 Sept 2012 www.arnoldimcpherson.com Socialympics: How Sports Organizations and Athletes Used Social Media at London 2012 Socialympics: How Sports Organizations and Athletes Used Social Media at London 2012 There has been a permanent shift in how people expect to get information. The public is no longer willing to search out information, they expect it to be delivered to them. People not only want to follow athletes and competitions in real-time, they want to have an experience by participating through social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and increasingly, mobile apps. While websites and email updates still play a role providing the big picture, social channels provide the exclusive real-time connection fans expect. Social media can be used to drive traffic to websites for more extensive details, insights and daily wrap-ups. London 2012 was dubbed the Socialympics. There were 306 billion items shared on the internet during the 17 days of the Games.
