  • Springreiten
    Springreiten Springreiten ist eine Disziplin des Pferdesports, bei dem Pferd und Reiter einen aus mehreren Hindernissen bestehenden Parcours in einer festgelegten Reihenfolge überwinden. Bei den Hindernissen kann es sich um Steilsprünge, Hochweitsprünge, Geländehindernisse (Gräben, Wassergräben, Wälle, Billiards) handeln. Hindernisse können einzeln, als Distanzen oder als offene/geschlossene Kombinationen mehrerer Einzelhindernisse auftreten. Hindernisse Die Abmessungen der Hindernisse betragen normalerweise bis zu 1,60 m in der Höhe und 2 m in der Tiefe. Wassergräben dürfen maximal 4,50 m weit sein. In Einzelfällen können diese Abmessungen deutlich überschritten werden (Derby, Mächtigkeitspringen). Bei Turnieren sind je nach Klasse verschiedene Mindest- und Höchstmaße zugelassen (nach LPO2004): Animation nach Bildern von Eadweard Muybridge, die die Sprungtechnik im 19. Jahrhundert zeigt. Klasse Höhe Weite Hinderniszahl (Halle) Hinderniszahl (im Freien) E 80-100cm bis 100cm 6 8 A 100-110cm 110-140cm 6 7 L 110-120cm 120-150cm 7 8 M/B 120-130cm 130-160cm 8 9 M/A 130-140cm 140-180cm 9 10 S* 140-150cm 150-200cm 9 10 S** 145-155cm 150-200cm 9 10 S*** 150-160cm 150-200cm 10 11 Arten von Springprüfungen Springprüfung nach Fehler/Zeit Für das Abwerfen von Hindernisteilen (Reißen = 4 Strafpunkte), das Stehenbleiben (Verweigern = 4 Strafpunkte) und das Überschreiten der erlaubten Zeit(= 1/4 Strafpunkt(national)und 1 Strafpunkt -(international) pro angefangene Sekunde) werden Strafpunkte vergeben. Gewonnen hat der Reiter mit der geringsten Fehlerzahl, bei Gleichheit entscheidet die kürzere Zeit oder ein Stechen über einen verkürzten Stechparcours. Stilspringen Beim Stilspringen wird der Reiter mit einer Wertnote von 0 bis 10 beurteilt. Für Hindernissfehler (Abwürfe) gibt es 0,5 Punkte Abzug sowie 1,0 Punkte für die ersten beiden Verweigerungen, die dritte Verweigerung führt zum Ausschluss.

Moses Dr. Brian Frehner ii Name: ROGER D. MOORE Date of Degree: MAY, 2015 Title of Study: THE 1932 LOS ANGELES OLYMPICS: A MODEL FOR A BROKEN SYSTEM Major Field: HISTORY ABSTRACT: In discussion of Olympic Games and Los Angeles, 1984 is often the primary focus; but the Tenth Olympiad hosted by the same city in 1932 provides a more meaningful and lasting legacy within the Olympic narrative. This thesis looks at the stadium construction of Olympic host cities prior to 1932 and investigates the process by which Los Angeles came to host the 1932 Summer Olympics. The significance of the first athletic village and a history of the venues used for the 1932 competition will also be explored. This thesis will show that the depression-era 1932 Los Angeles Olympics provides a model more in line with original Olympic principals opposed to the current economically-driven system. Within that 1932 model is a means by which a host city can incorporate existing facilities adequate for a large festival and also, when and where construction is needed, provide future-use plans that serve a community beyond the duration of an Olympiad.

  • Timeline of the Development of the Horse
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 177 August, 2007 Timeline of the Development of the Horse by Beverley Davis Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies. Sinographs (hanzi, also called tetragraphs [fangkuaizi]) and other unusual symbols should be kept to an absolute minimum. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.
