  • Grand Slams’ Are Iconic Global Sports Competitions And, As Proven by the 2017 Australian Open, Capable of Drawing Blockbuster Audiences
    The four tennis ‘grand slams’ are iconic global sports competitions and, as proven by the 2017 Australian Open, capable of drawing blockbuster audiences. Roger Federer’s victory over Rafael Nadal brought Eurosport its largest-ever audience for a tennis match with 20.7 million viewers across Europe, while in the host country, the 3.6-million (4.4-million peak) figure was the highest audience for the final in over a decade. The prestige and image attached to grand slam tennis is not lost on the sport’s broadcast partners. For domestic broadcasters this has led to a continuous fee increase for the quartet of slams. Using Sportcal’s Revenue Dashboard – available to subscribers of the Media Intelligence Centre – to analyse the domestic revenue generated, Sportcal Insight examines how the grand slams have enhanced their domestic rights revenues. Currency conversions, where possible, have been done at the time of the deal and modelled data has been used for incremental rises during a rights agreement. All grand slams have long-running domestic deals with established broadcasters. This, it can be argued, limits competition and the potential for mushrooming revenues, resulting in a more modest rise than might otherwise be the case. In Australia, free-to-air network Seven’s most recent deal with Tennis Australia is under investigation by the country’s corporate watchdog because a competitive bidding process wasn’t launched, amid claims that the governing body could have raised an extra A$50 million ($45 million) had the rights been taken to the open market. The 2017 women’s Australian Open final attracted 360,000 more viewers than the final of T20 cricket’s Big Bash League (aired on another free-to-air broadcaster, Network Ten, at the same time).

Le projet comprend : - le noyau Nord, autour du stade de France jusqu’à la porte de la Chapelle ; - le noyau Ouest, autour du bois de Boulogne tout en étant ancré sur les sites sportifs de la porte de Saint Cloud ; - à cela s’ajoutent un nombre limité de sites de compétition « hors noyaux » en région Ile de France et en province, en particulier pour les épreuves de football, ainsi que 2 sites dans le centre de Paris (Tour Eiffel et POPB). Sur chaque site, le projet s’efforce de combiner deux objectifs : permettre aux jeux de se dérouler dans les meilleures conditions pour les sportifs, les visiteurs et les spectateurs ; mais également apporter en héritage le plus de réalisations et d’embellissements pour les sites et leurs habitants.

  • CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL from the Arc De Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens
    CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL From the Arc de Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens Don’t leave Paris without experiencing the avenue des Champs-Elysées (shahnz ay-lee-zay). This is Paris at its most Parisian: monumental side- walks, stylish shops, grand cafés, and glimmering showrooms. This tour covers about three miles. If that seems like too much for you, break it down into several different outings (taxis roll down the Champs-Elysées frequently and Métro stops are located every 3 blocks). Take your time and enjoy. It’s a great roll or stroll day or night. The tour begins at the top of the Champs-Elysées, across a huge traffic circle from the famous Arc de Triomphe. Note that getting to the arch itself, and access within the arch, are extremely challenging for travelers with limited mobility. I suggest simply viewing the arch from across the street (described below). If you are able, and you wish to visit the arch, here’s the informa- tion: The arch is connected to the top of the Champs-Elysées via an underground walkway (twenty-five 6” steps down and thirty 6” steps back up). To reach this passageway, take the Métro to the not-acces- sible Charles de Gaulle Etoile station and follow sortie #1, Champs- Elysées/Arc de Triomphe signs. You can take an elevator only partway up the inside of the arch, to a museum with some city views. To reach the best views at the very top, you must climb the last 46 stairs. For more, see the listing on page *TK.

  • Panthéon Et La Construction D’Un Arc De Triomphe À La E 1810 : À L’Occasion Des Cérémonies De Mariage De Gloire De La Grande Armée
    DOSSIER ENSEIGNANT Arc de triomphe de l’Étoile L’arc de triomphe de l’Étoile, dont la construction fut ordonnée par Napoléon Ier en 1806 en l’honneur des armées impériales, fut achevé sous le règne de Louis-Philippe en 1836. L’architecte Chalgrin s’ins- pira des arcs antiques pour en élaborer les plans. À travers son histoire, son architecture, ses inscriptions, ses sources d’inspiration et ses sculptures, l’élè- ve perçoit la fonction symbolique de l’Arc. S’il célèbre toujours le triomphe des armées françaises de la Révolution à nos jours, sa signification a toutefois évolué depuis le XIXe siècle. Il occupe aujourd’hui une place de premier plan dans la vie civique et civile. Abordant l’histoire des XIXe et XXe siècles, l’ur- banisme, l’éducation civique ou encore les arts plastiques, l’étude du monument répond aux exigences de l’interdisciplinarité. Ce dossier enseignant reprend de manière didactique ces différents axes de travail, précise les objectifs pédagogiques et prépare la visite du monument.

  • Physics of Tennis Lesson 4 Energy
    The Physics of Tennis Lesson 4: Energy changes when a ball interacts with different surfaces Unit Overview: In this unit students continue to develop understanding of what can be at first glance a complicated system, the game of tennis. In this activity we have taken two components of the game of tennis, the ball and court, to see if we can model the interactions between them. This activity focuses on the energy interactions between ball and court. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Describe what forces interact when the ball hits a surface. • Understand what changes occur when potential and kinetic energy conversion is taking place within a system. At the high school level students should include connections to the concept of “work =FxD” and calculations of Ek = ½ 2 mv and Ep =mgh according to the conservation of energy principal. • Identify the types of energy used in this system. (restricted to potential & kinetic energy) • Comparative relative energy losses for typical court compositions. Lesson Time Required: Four class periods Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards: • NGSS: HS-PS3-1.Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. • CCSS.Math. Content: 8.F.B.4 Use functions to model relationships between quantities. • Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph.

By 1941 the organization had over 100 female volunteers. During the terrible years of conflict she fought with the same determination she showed on the tennis court, ending the war with the rank of Captain. She marched down the Champs Elysees alongside de Gaulle when Paris was liberated in August of 1944. After a separation of four years, she was reunited with her family—and with tennis. She served as umpire for the “liberation match” between Henri Cochet and Petra at Stade Roland Garros on September 17th, 1944 wearing her uniform as an officer in the French forces. THE STORY OF HALL OF FAMER YVON PETRA, FROM A POW CAMP TO SW19 COURTS by: PHILIP PETRA AS TOLD TO ED MCGROGAN | Petra was posthumously inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I. His son, Philip, accepted the honor. (International Tennis Hall of Fame) My dad, Yvon, had a very difficult life. He came at the wrong time, frankly. By 1936, my dad was the 17th-ranked player in France. Two years later, just before the beginning of World War II, he was No. 1 in the country. His big victory came not in singles, but in doubles. At Roland Garros in 1938, he and his partner, Bernard Destremau, beat Don Budge and Gene Mako, the No.
