  • 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.

  • WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL CHALLENGE Statement by Parliamentary Secretary MS A.R
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 13 August 2013] p3219b-3219b Ms Andrea Mitchell WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL CHALLENGE Statement by Parliamentary Secretary MS A.R. MITCHELL (Kingsley — Parliamentary Secretary) [2.06 pm]: I inform the house that it was a pleasure to meet with parliamentary colleagues from the Liberal, National and Labor Parties at the Herb Graham Recreation Centre on Sunday morning, 4 August. Political issues were set aside while two teams from the government and the opposition tried their hand for the first time at playing wheelchair basketball. The politician’s game was a curtain-raiser for the far more experienced—and dare I say skilful?—Perth Wheelcats and Brisbane’s Spinning Bullets teams. The morning game was organised by Wheelchair Sports WA Association. Wheelchair sports started during World War II in Great Britain as rehabilitation for injured soldiers. Western Australia was the pioneer state in Australia for wheelchair sports, which started in 1954 at the Shenton Park Royal Perth Rehabilitation Hospital by the late Sir George Bedbrook and Mr John Johnston. In 1989 the Wheelchair Sports WA Association was born and has continued to grow ever since. Many successful Paralympians started their careers with Wheelchair Sports WA, such as Frank Ponta, Louise Sauvage, Priya Cooper and Bruce Wallrodt, all of whom went on to compete on an international stage. To highlight the achievements of the organisation and wheelchair sports, the Minister for Disability Services and the shadow Minister for Disability Services were asked to form two teams to play each other. On Sunday morning, the LibNat Cats took on Mark McGowan’s Maulers in a very competitive and entertaining display of basketball.
