  • Remo Olímpico
    ORGANIZADORES Abdallah Achour Júnior Antonio Carlos Gomes Marina Bastos Soraya Iida de Carvalho 1ª Edição Rio de Janeiro Comitê Olímpico do Brasil 2019 MENSAGEM DO PRESIDENTE O Comitê Olímpico do Brasil (COB) tem a sociedade esportiva e acadêmica como grande aliada em prol do desenvolvimento do esporte no país. Ao longo dos anos, iniciativas lideradas pelo Instituto Olímpico Brasileiro (IOB) tornaram essa parceria cada vez mais forte. A 1ª edição do Congresso Olímpico Brasileiro é mais um passo nessa direção. O que o COB propõe neste congresso é uma troca de conhecimento, de ideias, de informações. O esporte de alto rendimento, hoje, exige um aperfeiçoamento constante, em todas as áreas da ciência do esporte. Um milésimo de segundo e um pequeno movimento fazem uma enorme diferença e são determinantes para a vitória de um atleta. Por isso, não só queremos compartilhar conhecimentos, mas também aprender com todos que possam contribuir com o esporte brasileiro. O Congresso Olímpico Brasileiro marca a comemoração dos 10 anos do IOB, parte fundamental de nossa instituição. O fato de 79% das medalhas conquistadas pelo Time Brasil nos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016 virem justamente de modalidades que receberam grande investimento em capacitação e treinamento do IOB nos deixa muito orgulhosos. Estamos cientes de que este é o caminho certo para o desenvolvimento do esporte olímpico no país. Esperamos que esta edição do Congresso Olímpico Brasileiro seja a primeira de muitas. Troquem ideias, participem, interajam. O COB agradece a presença de todos e torce para que vocês aproveitem ao máximo o nosso evento. Saudações Olímpicas, Paulo Wanderley Presidente do Comitê Olímpico do Brasil 02 2019 | CONGRESSO OLÍMPICO BRASILEIRO CONGRESSO OLÍMPICO BRASILEIRO | 2019 03 CARTA DE BOAS-VINDAS O Comitê Olímpico do Brasil dá as boas-vindas a todos os participantes da 1ª edição do Congresso Olímpico Brasileiro, que tem como tema a Gestão Esportiva de Alto Impacto.

  • TEAM DONAR U21-Landstede Basketbal DATUM & LOCATIE 14 September 2018 EINDUITSLAG 56-74 Een Goede Start Voor De Groningers. O
    TEAM DONAR U21-Landstede Basketbal DATUM & LOCATIE 14 september 2018 EINDUITSLAG 56-74 Een goede start voor de Groningers. Op veel plaatsten is het team gewijzigd dit jaar, o.a. door het verlagen van de leeftijd. U24 is dit jaar U21. Een goede ontwikkeling voor het opleiden en doorstromen van de jeugdspelers. Daan Maring , Sjoerd Koopmans en Tim de Vries zijn er niet meer bij. Maar dat geeft weer ruimte voor jongere U18 spelers uit eigen gelederen van Donar U18 en de BA RTC Noord opleiding. Thomas van Dijk, Jim Cremer, Jef de Vries, Gijs Stams, Noah Tinga en Bas Meinders en Nathan de Vries speelden eerder bij RTC Noord. En een goede aanvulling kwam van B.V. Groningen; Yoeri Hoexum en Reinder Brandsma. En met een aantal ervaren DTL spelers Sheyi Adetunji, Jeffrey Sedoc, Tiemen Tijs ten Have werd het team verder aangevuld met Jef de Vries, terug uit Göttingen in Groningen. Een leuk begin, gelijk opgaand 1e kwart, met 3-punters van Jef de Vries en Tiemen Tijs ten Have. Maar ook Zwolle speelt sterk naar het bord, Nesta Agasi en heeft een pure schutter in Bart van Schaik. Na 10 minuten 14-16. Een licht voordeel voor Donar DTL. In het 2e kwart nam Donar afstand, de selectie is breed met 14 spelers, en Zwolle kwam niet verder dan een 7-mans rotatie. De defense sloot goed bij Donar U21 en het kwartstand 12- 29 zegt ook voldoende over de aanvallende capaciteiten van de Groningers. Coach Pete Miller en Stijn Lechner, met assistent Michel Houttuin kunnen verder bouwen aan een gameplan.
