  • Study on High Jumpers on the Word
    Ovidius University Annals, Series Physical Education and Sport / SCIENCE, MOVEMENT AND HEALTH Vol. XII, ISSUE 2 Supplement 2012, Romania The journal is indexed in: Ebsco, SPORTDiscus, INDEX COPERNICUS JOURNAL MASTER LIST, DOAJ DIRECTORY OF OPEN ACCES JOURNALS, Caby, Gale Cengace Learning STUDY ON HIGH JUMPERS ON THE WORD GHEORGHE DANIEL1 Abstract Purpose. This work has proposed that purpose, to separate the essential data for selection and training high performance athletes in the perspective of major international competition. Methods. As research methods I used the case study, observation and statistics. Results. For the final selection to the Olympics, to accede to one of the medals, the athlete’s performance should be over 2.30 m. If we have several athletes with special performances, we should focus primarily on those with a richer experience, with several international competitions, so a little older. Conclusions. In 2 of the 5 Olympics, the performance for the first place is equal to the average top, which confirms first hypothesis. The top average age is 24 years and 7 months which confirms the second hypothesis. The third hypothesis is confirmed with the observation that for the Olympics the performance is the supreme criterion, the height isn’t a decisive criterion (there are medalists with height below top average). The hypothesis of the athlete’s weight isn’t confirmed, recording an average of 77,36 kg. We only have significant correlation between athlete’s height and weight. Key words: athletes, performance, statistics. Introduction the essential data for selection and training high The present study is an analysis of the finalists performance athletes in the perspective of major from the last two Olympics and the first three of the international competition.

Dear Lord Coe You may remember that we, as a representative group of athletes and coaches with a background in the throws events, sent you a letter dated October 1st 2019 about the proposals for the Diamond League for 2020 season and beyond. Within this letter we presented a number of proposals and ideas of what the IAAF could do to allow all events to remain a part and thrive within the Diamond League circuit. Among those proposals were: Alternate years Javelin and Discus. Maximum of eight competitors so no need for reduction of field after 3 attempts. Computer led scoring which decreases the time taken to complete the event. Four attempts rather than the normal six. Warm Up outside the arena. Two events taking place at the same time! Long Jump/Triple Jump and Discus/Javelin. We even showed possibilities of moving the discus outside the stadiums to parks specifically to overcome the issues of the Diamond League final.

  • Impossiblegames Program A5
    Impossible Games The Corona pandemic stopped the Wanda Diamond League at Bislett in its traditional form, but not meet director Steinar Hoen. The Bislett Alliance decided early on to launch an alternative meeting called Impossible Games, and Impossible Games will also be the launch of the Wanda Diamond League Exhibition Event, which is the alternative to the normal series in this very special year. From day one everything has been organized to be within and according to the Norwegian Corona Regulations. Steinar Hoen and Henrik Ingebrigtsen. Photo: Eirik Førde. - We had two options. We could resign or we could look at the possibilities. The idea was born just a few weeks after the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world. Together with rest of the staff Hoen flipped around and build a unique creative concept that could be staged on the same day as the traditional meeting was scheduled. - The athletes wanted to compete; the fans were hungry for live sport, but distancing rules made it impossible to have any spectators in the stadium. Based on this we decided from day one to build the Impossible Games purely as a TV-product. The focus has been on head-to-heads, team matches and record-breaking possibilities in all events. - From the beginning the athletes supported the concept. They are the reason making this possible, Hoen says. World Athletics President and Chair of the Diamond League Board, Sebastian Coe commented early on: - This is really positive for athletes and fans and promises to be another great night of athletics from the Bislett stadium.
