Boston Marathon documentary to premiere live at Wang with Pops By Zoë Madonna | Globe Staff https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/music/2017/01/27/boston-marathon-documentary-premiere-wang-with-boston-pops-esplanade- orchestra-live/CTqwynZWehKnh0IZyyagFI/story.html When “Boston,” a feature-length documentary about the nation’s oldest marathon, makes its world premiere April 15 at the Boch Center’s Wang Theatre, the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra will perform the full score live. But first, members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra will record Jeff Beal’s score for the film at Symphony Hall on Feb. 13. (Sorry, the recording session isn’t open to the public.) Beal, an Emmy-winning composer known for his soundtrack to the Netflix drama “House of Cards,” will conduct the recording and then the performance at the Wang. The premiere, scheduled for One Boston Day, will be sponsored by John Hancock Financial and hosted by WBZ-TV. Directed by Jon Dunham, the documentary traces the Boston Marathon’s history from its origins in 1897 through 2014, incorporating extensive archival material from the Boston Athletic Association. A percentage of premiere ticket sales will go to support Martin’s Park, a playground in the Seaport District to be built in honor of Marathon bombing victim Martin Richard, who was 8 years old when he was killed.

    The newsletter for Metro Aberdeen Running Club members Issue 2 January 2008 www.metroaberdeen.co.uk Issue Number 2 Welcome to Issue Number 2 of the “New Look” Metro Mouthpiece. Once again I would like to apologise for the lateness of this issue, I was aiming to get out 4 editions in 2007 but several factors (excuses) meant that this plan went “t**s up”. I will be endeavouring to get back on schedule for 2008, so get those articles, race reports, jokes, funny stories, pictures and results to me for inclusion as soon as possible at [email protected] Hopefully everyone had a successfull and injury free year of running in 2007? Personally I had a decent enough year, running small personal best times at all distances raced and, most importantly, I managed to avoid serious injury. However, how I managed to avoid hurting myself never mind how I got home in one piece after Bjoern Reiss’ leaving night drinks (pictured right) I’ll never know. My excuse is that I’d been in the pub all day, without food watching the Scotland v Ukraine match so by the time I’d met up with the others I was a wee bit cumbersome on my feet. Thanks to Bjoern for the photographic evidence. Inside this issue On the back page you will find a membership renewal form for 2008. Please complete this as soon as possible and send along with your payment of £12 to: Colin MacKay, 15 Fare View, Torphins, Aberdeenshire, AB31 4DZ. Thanks for everyone who submitted race reports etc, I hope everyone enjoys reading them as much as I did.

  • The Probative Value of the Mclaren Report Confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) by Robert Neron, SDRCC Arbitrator
    The Probative Value of the McLaren Report Confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) by Robert Neron, SDRCC Arbitrator February 2018 The decisions rendered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne over the past 18 months were largely influenced by revelations of Russia's state-run doping scheme and suspension of Russian athletes. An in-depth investigation into the involvement of Russian athletes in doping activities was launched in December 2014 after German radio-television broadcaster ARD revealed a government-sponsored doping program in Russia reminiscent of former practices in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. Following ARD’s broadcast and witness testimony from a former director of the Russian laboratory regarding systematic doping and cover-up attempts involving athletes competing in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi,1 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appointed Richard McLaren, Professor of Law at Western University and member of the SDRCC’s inaugural roster, to chair an independent commission. The first part of McLaren’s findings, submitted in July 2016, provided substantive evidence of the systematic, state-sponsored manipulation of the doping control process2 that occurred before the 2014 Olympic Winter Games and continuing afterward in the run-up to the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio. These findings prompted the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to indefinitely suspend Russia from world athletics events. In addition, WADA announced that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) should be considered in violation of WADA rules. WADA further recommended banning Russia entirely from the 2016 Olympic Games.

  • Lemi Berhanu Hayle Targets Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Record, by Paul Gains
    Lemi Berhanu Hayle Targets Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Record, by Paul Gains Many are the athletes who target course records and victory in the weeks preceding a major marathon, but few can achieve this glory. Ethiopia’s Lemi Berhanu Hayle, however, has the fast times and experience to match his bravado. The 24-year-old - he turns 25 tomorrow, September 13 - has confirmed he will attack Philemon Rono’s Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon course record (2:06:52) on October 20th. With Rono also committed to this year’s event, plus last year’s champion Benson Kipruto, Lemi’s addition to the field sets up a compelling showdown for the CAN $30,000 first place prize and, if things go right, CAN $40,000 course record bonus. Lemi is held in such high regard by Ethiopian selectors that he was selected to his nation’s 2016 Olympic team (he finished 13th). Earlier that year he won the 2016 Boston Marathon. But it was his victory at the 2015 Dubai Marathon in 2:05:28 - the fourth fastest time in the world that year - which introduced him as a world-beating athlete. Though he was beaten during his Dubai title defence in 2017 he came away with a new personal best of 2:04:33, in second place. Against this backdrop a Toronto course record assault is more than viable. “My target is to have the course record time and of course to win the race,” he says adding he will ask the pacemakers to go through halfway in 1:03.

  • The Negative Implications of Russia's Doping Scandal on The
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1427-9657.08.07 EASTERN REVIEW 2019, T. 8 Anna Kobierecka https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2492-6452 University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland Faculty of International Relations and Political Science e-mail: [email protected] Michał Marcin Kobierecki https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8180-5710 University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland Faculty of International Relations and Political Science e-mail: [email protected] The negative implications of Russia’s doping scandal on the country’s international image* Abstract. In December 2014, Russia was accused of developing a state-organized doping system in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The scandal resulted in many Russian athletes being banned from competing in the Olympics in Rio in 2016 and the IOC’s suspension of the Russian National Olympic Committee prior to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. The research presented in this article aims to answer the research question of whether the doping scandal actually affected the international image of Russia. The research was conducted with the use of frame analysis of public discourse. The hypothesis to be tested states that the Russian doping scandal contributed to the intensification of a negative external image of this state. Keywords: Russia, doping, sports diplomacy, nation branding, image of a country. * This work was supported by National Science Centre, Poland grant number 2015/19/D/ HS5/00513, grant holder: Michał Marcin Kobierecki). © by the author, licensee Łódź University – Łódź University Press, Łódź, Poland.

    Proceeding Supplementary Issue: Rio 2016 Olympic Games First Anniversary Special Edition. Olympic Studies Forum, 4-5 August 2017. Santa Úrsula University. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Laboratory performance: Doping in Olympic sports and Rio 2016 Games RANDEANTONY C. NASCIMENTO1,2,3,4 , AILTON FERNANDO S. DE OLIVEIRA1,2,3, JUAN JOSÉ FERNÁNDEZ ROMERO4,5, SARAH CRISTINA MONTES CANUTO1,2,3 1SCENARIOS / UFS Group, Brazil 2Research Center for Sports and Leisure Policies of Sergipe – CDPPEL, Brazil 3Federal University of Sergipe, Brazil 4University of La Coruña, Spain 5National Institute of Physical Education - INEF GALÍCIA, Spain ABSTRACT Doping is defined by the World Anti-Doping Agency Code as the use of substances or methods capable of artificially increasing sports performance, whether they are potentially harmful to athletes health or to his opponents, or to the game spirit. The Olympic Sport deals daily with this competitor “off the beaten track” of the highest competence. This article was based on the reports on the anti-doping control situation in the Olympic Games in Brazil issued by the specialist of the US Congressional Research Service, the IAAF sanctioned positive athletics report, of the International Olympic Committee that dealt with the fight against doping and health promotion of athletes, the Independent Observer Reports of the World Anti-Doping Agency and the Anti-Doping Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. A special highlight was the doping cases orchestrated by the Russia Athletic Federation, as well as the efforts of institutions responsible for the fight against doping in the protection of clean athletes. The fight against doping in the Olympic Games in Brazil was classified as the worst anti-doping in the history of games, based on the volunteers organization and the effectiveness of the tests performed.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.
