Seven UVic athletes will get more than that -- about 10 nights in Bangkok -- at the XXIV World University Games which begin Wednesday and run through Aug. 18 in the bustling Thai metropolis. The World University Games, or Universiade as they are also known, have served as a launching pad for numerous future Olympians and world championships performers. One of the UVic Vikes athletes headed to Bangkok has already been -- hard-working swimmer MacKenzie Downing has been a revelation in earning a spot on Team Canada to the 2007 world aquatics championships earlier this year in Melbourne and could be tabbed for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics after winning four gold medals last weekend at the Canadian senior swimming championships in Calgary. Another Vikes athlete headed to Bangkok and touted as a potential future Olympian is 1,500-metre runner Geoff Martinson out of Prince George. The Vikes women's soccer team achieved its greatest success with high-scoring strikers Carey Gustafson and Liz Hansen, including winning the CIS national title in 2005, and the pair will fuel the Canadian offence on the pitch at Bangkok. The UVic golf team has placed the most Vikes athletes on the Canadian team to Thailand with Christina Spence of Port Alberni, Jade Dennill of Nakusp and Anne Balser from Nova Scotia. One Vikes coach has been named to the Games team as Peter Vizsolyi will help guide the Canadian swimmers in Thailand. Willie Galick of Nanaimo, who will play his final two seasons of NCAA hoops at Cal State- Northridge after transferring from Pepperdine, is on the Canadian men's basketball team headed to Bangkok. It was in men's basketball that UVic and Canada both recorded their most memorable moment at a Universiade when Vikes stars Eli Pasquale, Gerald Kazanowski, both two-time future Olympians, and Kelly Dukeshire stunned the Charles Barkley-led U.S. team to win gold at the 1983 Edmonton World University Games. © Times Colonist (Victoria) 2007 Copyright © 2007 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest MediaWorks Publications, Inc..

Dražen Petrović: La Leyenda Del Indomable
Amado y odiado con la misma intensidad y en proporciones muy parejas, Dražen Petrović ha terminado siendo mucho más que un simple jugador de baloncesto. Su presencia en la cancha, sus provocaciones continuas y su personalidad le convirtieron pronto en un líder. Los avatares de su vida deportiva (jugó en el Madrid después de haber sido su verdugo) y su prematura muerte a los 28 años en un absurdo accidente de coche, cuando estaba en el mejor momento de su carrera deportiva, triunfando en los Nets, hacen que hoy su recuerdo forme parte de la leyenda. Por eso es uno de los grandes mitos del deporte en general y del baloncesto en particular. Juan Francisco Escudero Dražen Petrović: La leyenda del indomable ePub r1.0 Banshee 02.06.14 Título original: Dražen Petrović: la leyenda del indomable Juan Francisco Escudero, 2012 Diseño de cubierta: Inma Bordell Editor digital: Banshee ePub base r1.1 Este libro va dedicado a mi familia, amigos, amantes del deporte del baloncesto y, por supuesto, a Pilar y a la pequeña Alexandra. Gracias a Álvaro Chávarri y Diego Moldes por la aportación de datos y fotos. A Iván Fernández por sus ideas sobre el capítulo de declaraciones. Ta la embajada de Croacia. También, y especialmente, a todos los genios transgresores que fueron olvidados por el paso del tiempo y la aparición de los mediocres… Prólogo LOLO SAINZ UANDO Juan Francisco Escudero Centró en mi despacho del estadio Santiago Bernabéu hace aproximadamente un año para pedirme que le hablara de Drazen Petrovic porque tenía la intención de escribir un libro sobre su vida, un inmenso escalofrío recorrió mi cuerpo, ya que en un instante se agolparon en mi mente todos aquellos momentos vividos alrededor de este genuino y genial jugador de baloncesto —hago mención especial del deporte que practicaba, por todos ustedes conocido, porque Drazen, desde el cielo, no me perdonaría jamás que no nombrara junto a su nombre el gran amor de su vida, el baloncesto—, desde el prisma de jugador contrario y como jugador del Real Madrid, por aquel entonces entrenado por un servidor de ustedes.

Thanks to the generous financial support from the City of Nanaimo, which built this beautiful new convention facility you are presently enjoying, the Nanaimo & District Museum Society now has the space and resources to house the Sports Hall of Fame. The dream of a sports hall of fame in Nanaimo has been nurtured for more than 20 years. It was given a boost in 2004 with the conception of the new museum as well as a fund raising drive augmented by a financial contribu- tion from the BC Games Legacy Fund. In January of this year, with the new museum well under construction, a call for nominations was put out to the region to find the first 10 induct- ees for the new Sports Hall of Fame. That call brought in more than 50 nominations. Thanks to the efforts of museum Board and staff, the SHOF Committee and selection panel, Nanaimo City Council, numerous sponsors and many volunteers, we are here tonight to honour and celebrate the special achieve- ments of our best and brightest athletes. As you leave here tonight, head to the museum lobby to see the new Sports Hall of Fame Wall if you haven't already seen it.
