  • Perspectives on Doping in Pro Cycling - 2: Inga Thompson
    The Outer Line A Roadmap to Repair Pro Cycling http://www.theouterline.com Perspectives on Doping in Pro Cycling - 2: Inga Thompson (Editors’ Note: This article is the second in a series of in-depth personal narratives about the impact of doping on the lives of people within or now outside of the sport of pro cycling. This series presents alternative views of how the doping culture has proliferated in the sport; new revelations of how it has caused harm to the people, economics, and governance of the sport, and; why the Cycling Independent Reform Commission's charter needs to look farther back in time than 1998 to make a lasting difference. Through this, we hope to stir constructive debate about how the sport can come to terms with the past in order to find a new way forward. Watch for other articles and perspectives over the next several weeks.) Mention the name Inga Thompson to a modern cycling fan, and you might get a raised eyebrow. “Inga who?” But to fans and observers of the sport from the 1980s and early 1990s, Inga Thompson was perhaps one of the most successful and influential women in cycling. From her meteoric debut on the American scene in 1984, to her final major race – a dominating victory in the 1993 US Women’s National Road Race – Inga proved herself to be one of the greatest women’s racers the sport has ever seen. And yet right after that 1993 championship, Inga quietly packed up, moved away from her long- time residence in Reno, and for almost twenty years severed all ties with the sport and the people with whom she trained and competed.

    SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 2016 SPORTS BASKETBALL SWIMming Will truce in swimsuit wars carry on past Rio Olympics? RIO DE JANEIRO: There’s one question swimmers won’t hear this month around the Olympic Aquatics Stadium in Rio de Janeiro: What are you wearing? Olympic coaches and swimmers would prefer it remain that way, never wanting to go back to the swim- suit wars that culminated with a ludicrous display of speed at the 2009 world championships. Yet, the big-money swimsuit companies - so crucial to the sport’s financial viability - are always pressing to show off their high-tech chops, which are severely crimped by rules that restrict the size and fabrics for competition swimsuits. Some are wondering just how long the status quo will remain in place after the Rio Games end on Aug. 21. “I do believe there will be something that’s coming,” American swimmer Elizabeth Beisel said. “Whether it’s in the next five years, 10 years, who knows? But it’ll get back to where it was, for sure.” That prospect is anathema to those who remember RIO DE JANEIRO: France’s guard Marine Johannes (3rd R) battles Turkey’s defence during a Women’s round Group A basketball match between Turkey and France at the Youth what happened seven years ago in Rome, when a decade Arena in Rio de Janeiro yesterday during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. — AFP of radical changes in swimsuit design led to the introduc- tion of rubberized bodysuits.

  • 2021 1St SCHELDEPRIJS
    1st SCHELDEPRIJS 2021 Women Elite - April 7 LORENA WIEBES OPENS THE HONOR ROLL It was an extremely long delivery before the birth of the first Scheldeprijs for women. To avoid conflicts with the Dutch Healthy Aleing Tour the women’s edition was delayed time after time. Until Paris-Roubaix for women was added to the calendar, the Dutch moving their race to early March and thus creating space for the first Ladies Scheldeprijs. The interest to start in Schoten was overwhelming, several teams had to be denied from participating. Finally 28 teams and 152 riders were allowed to start. The route included a long stretch through the Nord Kempen and three local laps in Schoten. In the first hour the ladies covered 42,5 km. The peloton broke into pieces and a few crashes, none serious, eliminated some of the riders. In the local laps Daniek Hengeveld took a 1’20” lead but in the final lap the peloton quickly approached. Also the Italian Letizia Borghesi made an effort to break away from the pack but it all came together and a sprint would need to decide on a winner. It was the fast Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes who became the first female winner of the new Scheldeprijs.
