Podcast appearances and mentions of Sebastian Coe

This week on the podcast Beards and Dun sit down and have a conversation with Jeff Benjamin. Jeff has written for more than 30 years for American Track and Field magazine along with RunBlogRun.com. He is also a columnist for SILive.com's monthly "On The Run" column. He is also a member of the College of Staten Island Sports Hall Of Fame for cross country and currently teaches a college course in Sports Business Management at the college. A passionate (some would say fanatical) follower of the sport of running, his subjects have included Sebastian Coe, Jim Spivey, Joe Newton, Tom Fleming, Bill Rodgers, Marty Liquori, Rod, Dixon, Jim Ryan, Bob Beamon, Dave Wottle and Abelf Kiviat. In 2023 Benjamin was honored with the Annual James Dunaway Award by the Track and Field Writers Association for journalism excellence.

It's a bumper Spotlight in a bumper week of big sports news. To cover it comprehensively, Ross & Gareth are joined by Sean Ingle of The Guardian to discuss the election of Kirsty Coventry to lead the International Olympic Committee. We explore her path to victory, enabled by Thomas Bach's support, and how she might lead the organization through looming challenges, including the integrity of the IOC's bid/host city selection process, and women's sport. On the subject of women's sport, Sean also chats to us about World Athletics' announcement that it will introduce pre-clearance screening for athletes wishing to be eligible for the women's category. It's a move that forms part of Sebastian Coe's declaration to 'doggedly' defend women's sport. We explore how sex screening works, and issues it may raise, and solve.We then shift to cycling to discuss a remarkable Milan-San Remo performance by Tadej Pogacar, showcasing superiority and versatility not seen in cycling for a very long time. It tees up the compound score, accounting for power output and performance in both absolute and relative terms. A few odds and ends thrown in wrap up a big show.Show notesTo become a member of Discourse and be part of the conversation, including driving the content of these shows, here's your link to Patron (no wait, it's Patreon).

World Athletics has approved the introduction of cheek swabbing to determine if an athlete is biologically female. The global body's president Sebastian Coe says the decision is further evidence his organisation will protect the women's category in competition. The intention is to have the testing in place for September's world championships in Tokyo. Former Olympian and Otago University Emeritus Professor Dave Gerrard says the science behind the proposed tests is solid - and it's a reliable testing method. "It's used in common medical practice for genetic issues - and to determine the sex of individuals. So it's sound, and it is sound science."

Pela primeira vez na história, o Comitê Olímpico Internacional (COI) terá uma mulher no comando da instituição, que tem 130 anos de existência. A ex-nadadora e medalhista olímpica, Kirsty Coventry, do Zimbábue, foi escolhida esta semana para o cargo de presidente em eleição que aconteceu em Costa Navarino, na Grécia. Renan Tolentino, da redação da RFI em ParisAos 41 anos, ela também é a mais jovem e a primeira africana a ocupar a posição, sucedendo o alemão Thomas Bach. Em seu discurso, Kirsty ressaltou o peso da representatividade feminina na liderança do COI e agradeceu a outras mulheres que a inspiraram a lançar sua candidatura.“Em termos da importância de ser a primeira mulher, de ser a primeira africana, devo dizer que houve mulheres incríveis que vieram antes de mim. Uma delas que está sentada na sala hoje, e que talvez me emocione um pouco, é Anita deFrantz, uma grande inspiração para mim e para muitas mulheres. E fiquei muito orgulhosa por poder deixá-la orgulhosa. Ela foi a primeira mulher a concorrer a esse cargo e, como eu disse, ela me inspirou e tem sido uma grande mentora para mim desde que entrei no movimento olímpico em 2013 [...] mulheres como ela abrem caminho para mulheres como eu, e eu quero abrir caminho para a geração mais jovem, especialmente porque tenho duas filhas pequenas”, celebrou a ex-nadadora."Uma boa notícia para o COI"A vitória de Kirsty Coventry foi encarada com certa surpresa no cenário olímpico, não só porque ela não era a favorita entre os sete candidatos, mas também porque ela venceu ainda no primeiro turno, com uma larga margem de 49 votos contra 28 do seu principal rival, Juan Antonio Smaranch Jr. É o que aponta Jean-Loup Chappelet, professor emérito da Universidade de Lausanne, na Suíça, que estuda o movimento olímpico há mais de 50 anos. “Foi uma verdadeira surpresa, pois com sete candidatos, todos esperavam mais turnos de votação, e ela venceu no primeiro turno por maioria absoluta, o que é um feito e tanto. E é uma notícia muito boa para o COI”, avalia Chappelet.“O britânico Sebastian Coe era outro apontado como favorito, principalmente pela imprensa (em geral) e pela imprensa britânica em particular, porque ele fez uma campanha voltada para os meios de comunicação e para as redes sociais. Mas quem vota não são os jornalistas, não são as pessoas que usam as redes sociais. Quem vota são os membros do COI, e a metade é composta por mulheres. Há também uma incontestável força dos atletas entre os membros e de pessoas mais jovens. Acho que a idade teve um papel importante. No passado, para ser jovem no comando do COI, era preciso ter 60 anos mais ou menos, mas hoje Kirsty se elegeu aos 41”, detalha o acadêmico da Universidade de Lausanne.Avanço no cenário olímpicoPara o professor, a eleição de Kirsty e sua representatividade enquanto mulher e africana podem ser consideradas um avanço para o COI, para os próprios atletas e para o movimento olímpico, em geral.“Sim, acredito que depois de muito tempo o COI evolui. Não estamos mais no tempo do Barão de Coubertin, estamos no século XXI, e no século XXI o poder dos atletas é cada vez maior. Kirsty Coventry ganhou sete medalhas (olímpicas), sendo dois ouros. Isso a torna a presidente do COI com mais medalhas”, destaca Chappelet.A vez da África?Ao longo de seus oito anos de mandato, Kirsty Coventry terá pela frente os Jogos de Los Angeles, nos EUA, em 2028 e de Brisbane, na Austrália, em 2032. Já para as Olimpíadas de 2036, a sede ainda não foi escolhida. Com uma presidência do Zimbábue à frente do COI, seria o momento do maior evento esportivo do planeta desembarcar pela primeira vez no continente africano?“Pode acontecer, mas estamos longe de ter uma previsão, já que nenhum país africano lançou sua candidatura até o momento para os Jogos de 2036. Talvez o próximo passo seja justamente termos uma candidatura, por exemplo, da África do Sul, do Marrocos, ou de outros países da África. Mas também temos candidaturas na Ásia. Há uma rotação de continentes, após a Europa, após Paris 2024, será os Estados Unidos com Los Angeles, e depois a Austrália com Brisbane em 2032. Então, depois poderá ser a vez da Ásia ou da África”, avalia o especialista.Neste cenário, será interessante observar a relação dos países africanos com Coventry, que há mais de seis anos ocupa o cargo de Ministra da Juventude, dos Esportes, das Artes e do Lazer do governo do Zimbábue, considerado autoritário.Além das metas de tornar os Jogos mais acessíveis às novas gerações, ela terá grandes desafios pela frente, como a reintegração dos russos e ucranianos às Olimpíadas, questões de transidentidade e transgênero nas modalidades olímpicas e problemas ambientais ligados aos Jogos de Inverno. Temas com os quais ela terá que lidar a partir de junho, quando toma posse na sede do COI, em Lausanne, na Suíça.

Long before they can speak, babies are brilliant communicators and all that those who care for them have to do is to listen to them, to be curious about them and to be ready to discover who they are, and everything else will fall into place. That's what child psychotherapist and mother of four Marie Derome has written about in her book for new parents - What Your Baby Wants You To Know. She joins Nuala McGovern.Kirsty Coventry has been elected as the first female and African president of the International Olympic Committee. She beat six male candidates including Britain's Sebastian Coe. The 41-year-old former swimmer will replace Thomas Bach on the 23 June and will be the youngest president in the organisation's 130-year history. The BBC's Sport Editor Dan Roan tells us more.We're hearing more misogynistic lyrics in music, and some of it is from female artists themselves. Is this a good way to reclaim the language or is it women being derogatory about themselves? India McTaggart, entertainment correspondent at The Telegraph, discusses.Santosh, which was the UK's official entry into the Oscar's International Feature Film category for 2025, is set to be released in UK cinemas on 21 March. The Hindi language film follows the title character who, through a government scheme, takes on her deceased husband's role as a police officer in North India and is quickly embroiled in the murder investigation of a young girl.

Retour sur l'élection hier jeudi de Kirsty Coventry à la tête du Comité international olympique. La double championne olympique de natation zimbabwéenne l'a emporté dès le premier tour (avec un total de 49 voix sur 97 votes exprimés) et s'est imposée face à six autres candidats. Comment a-t-elle été élue, pourquoi, et qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour l'Afrique ? Jean-Loup Chappelet est professeur émérite à l'Université de Lausanne. Grand spécialiste du mouvement olympique, il répond aux questions de Christophe Jousset. RFI : Vous observez la vie du mouvement olympique depuis plus de 50 ans. Quelle a été votre réaction en apprenant la victoire de Kirsty Coventry ? Jean-Loup Chappelet : Ça a été un peu une surprise, effectivement, parce qu'avec sept candidats, tout le monde attendait plusieurs tours de scrutin et elle a gagné au premier tour au-delà de la majorité absolue, c'est quand même un exploit. Et c'est une très bonne nouvelle, je trouve, pour le CIO, pour toutes sortes de raisons.On citait deux favoris supposés Juan Antonio Samaranch Junior, qui obtient 28 voix, Sebastian Coe se contente de huit voix… La surprise est effectivement considérable ?Oui, Sebastian Coe était vu comme un favori surtout par les médias et les médias britanniques, en particulier, parce qu'il a fait une campagne orientée sur les médias et sur les réseaux sociaux. Mais ceux qui votent, ce ne sont pas les journalistes, ce ne sont pas les gens qui regardent les réseaux sociaux, ce sont les membres du CIO. Et il y a la moitié des membres qui sont des femmes aussi. Et il y a une incontestable poussée des athlètes parmi les membres et des personnes assez jeunes aussi. Je pense que l'âge a joué un rôle. Autrefois, pour être président du CIO, il fallait avoir environ 60 ans. Aujourd'hui, Kirsty Coventry a 41 ans.On continue de voir le CIO comme un mouvement plutôt conservateur. On se trompe ? Oui, je pense que depuis longtemps, le CIO a évolué. On n'est plus au temps de Coubertin, on est au XXIᵉ siècle et au XXIᵉ siècle, le pouvoir des athlètes est de plus en plus important. Kirsty Coventry a quand même gagné sept médailles, dont deux d'or, ce qui fait d'elle la première présidente du CIO qui est autant médaillée.Quel a été le poids du soutien du président sortant Thomas Bach dans la victoire de Kirsty Coventry, selon vous ? Je pense qu'il a été essentiel. Je pense qu'il a déjà incité Kirsty Coventry à être candidate, en tant qu'athlète, en tant que présidente de la Commission des athlètes à un moment donné, en tant qu'africaine aussi. Je pense qu'il a favorisé cette candidature parce qu'il y a vu un plus pour le CIO, un coup de jeune, si j'ose dire, pour le CIO.On dit que Kirsty Coventry avait le programme le moins concret des sept candidats, elle a été habile ?Je ne crois pas que ce soit vrai. Il y a des choses très intéressantes dans ces manifestes. C'est sûr que présider le CIO doit tenir compte des évolutions de la société et des changements. Et on ne peut pas prendre de position absolue sans tenir compte de ce qui se passe dans le monde. Par exemple, l'élection de Donald Trump aux États-Unis, parce que le premier défi de la présidente du CIO, ça sera d'avoir des Jeux olympiques en 2028 à Los Angeles et de gérer la question des athlètes féminines. Le président des États-Unis tient à ce que, à juste titre d'ailleurs, des femmes puissent participer à la catégorie féminine.À propos de l'accès des athlètes transgenres aux Jeux olympiques de Los Angeles, Kirsty Coventry a dit « Nous ne dérogerons pas à nos valeurs de solidarité ». C'est un bras de fer qui s'annonce avec Donald Trump ?Je ne pense pas. La solidarité, elle doit être avec les athlètes qui sont femmes, c'est-à-dire qui sont biologiquement avec le chromosome X X. Et ça, c'est quand même la première solidarité pour que ces athlètes puissent concourir de façon sûre et avoir une chance de gagner une médaille.C'est la première fois que l'Afrique se retrouve à la tête du Comité international olympique. Est-ce que pour 2036, qui sont les prochains Jeux d'été à attribuer, ça peut être décisif ? Ça peut être une première pour l'Afrique ?Ça peut l'être, mais c'est loin d'être certain parce qu'il n'y a pas pour l'instant de candidature africaine aux Jeux de 2036. Alors peut être la décision d'aujourd'hui créera des candidatures, par exemple en Afrique du Sud, par exemple au Maroc ou ailleurs en Afrique. Mais il y a aussi des candidatures en Asie et il y a une rotation des continents. Après donc l'Europe avec Paris 2024, les Etats-Unis avec Los Angeles 2028, l'Australie avec Brisbane 2032, ça peut être aussi le tour de l'Asie ou de l'Afrique.À lire aussiKirsty Coventry, une vie consacrée au sport

Die Amtszeit von Thomas Bach als Präsident des Internationalen Olympischen Komitees endet. "Es gilt für den neuen Präsidenten oder die Präsidentin, den Weg konsequent fortzusetzen und zu ergänzen", sagt Sportmanager und IOC-Mitglied Michael Mronz. Von WDR 5.

As the International Olympic Committee meets to elect a new president with a mandate to overhaul the Games, the candidates are united on one issue: trans women will be banned from female sporting categories.

Candidate à la présidence du Comité international olympique, à l'occasion de la 144ᵉ session à Costa Navarino (Grèce) le 20 mars, la Zimbabwéenne de 41 ans, double championne olympique du 200 m dos en 2004 et 2008, membre de la Commission exécutive du CIO et ministre des Sports depuis 2018, détaille à RFI ses positions sur les grands enjeux auxquels l'institution est confrontée. RFI : Vous êtes la plus jeune candidate à cette élection, la seule femme et la première représentante d'Afrique à briguer la présidence du CIO. Êtes-vous le meilleur symbole de ce que devrait être le CIO au XXIe siècle ? Kirsty Coventry : J'espère que c'est ce que ressentent les membres du Comité, mais je veux aussi être la meilleure personne pour le poste, pas seulement en raison de mon genre ou de mon origine. Je veux que les membres sentent qu'ils peuvent avoir confiance en moi et qu'ils pensent que je serai la meilleure pour diriger notre incroyable organisation, en particulier dans cet avenir qui change si rapidement.En tant qu'ancienne sportive de haut niveau et ex-présidente de la commission des athlètes du CIO, vous êtes consciente des défis auxquels sont confrontés les athlètes, en particulier en Afrique, pour atteindre le plus haut niveau international. Quelle devrait être la priorité pour accroître leurs chances ?En tant qu'ancienne athlète, la partie la plus difficile de mon parcours a été de devenir championne olympique. C'est là que je pense que nous devrions concentrer un peu plus les programmes dédiés du CIO. Je veux également m'assurer que les voix des athlètes soient toujours entendues, car c'est ainsi que nous savons ce qu'ils attendent de nous, par le biais de la commission des athlètes, en veillant à ce que nous écoutions précisément ce dont les athlètes ont besoin, et comment nous pouvons travailler à leur protection et à leur soutien. En revanche, je ne crois pas aux primes [versées aux médaillés en athlétisme lors des JO de Paris 2024, une mesure annoncée par World Athletics, présidée par Sebastian Coe, autre candidat à la présidence du CIO, NDLR]. Encore une fois, en regardant mon parcours et en parlant aux athlètes autour de moi, la partie la plus difficile, c'est toujours avant de devenir champion olympique ou avant d'être célèbre. Une fois que vous l'êtes ou que vous avez gagné des médailles, beaucoup plus d'opportunités s'offrent à vous. La question est donc de savoir comment nous pouvons aider davantage d'athlètes à devenir champions ou finalistes olympiques. C'est comme ça que nous pourrons concerner davantage d'athlètes.À lire aussiLes sportifs de la solidarité olympique qualifiés pour les JO 2024Vous êtes très sensible à la place du sport féminin et à la représentation des athlètes féminines dans les médias. Quelle serait la première mesure que vous mettriez en œuvre dans ce domaine si vous étiez élue ?Au sein du mouvement olympique, nous avons déjà réussi à faire du bon travail pour la promotion de l'égalité des sexes. Il faut maintenant l'étendre. Nous avons besoin d'une meilleure représentation des femmes dans les fédérations internationales et dans les comités nationaux olympiques. On doit voir davantage d'opportunités pour les femmes entraîneurs et l'entourage des athlètes. Au lancement d'un programme ou lorsqu'on essaie de faire avancer quelque chose, les quotas jouent certainement un rôle parce qu'ils aident à changer la culture. Une fois que les gens ont adhéré à cette culture et qu'ils voient la véritable valeur d'avoir plus de diversité autour de la table, et que cela devient vraiment ancré dans la culture d'une organisation, alors les systèmes de quotas peuvent être supprimés. Donc, je pense vraiment qu'ils servent un objectif au début.La question des athlètes transgenres ou des personnes concernées par une différence de développement sexuel, comme la boxeuse algérienne Imane Khelif, médaillée d'or à Paris 2024, mais visée par des messages haineux sur les réseaux sociaux, reste controversée. Quel est votre avis à ce sujet ?Je veux m'assurer que nous protégeons la catégorie féminine et je crois que nous devons trouver une voie à suivre en le faisant collectivement avec les fédérations internationales. Le CIO doit jouer un rôle de premier plan et nous devons nous assurer, là encore, que nous protégeons et servons les athlètes. Ce que j'entends par « protéger les athlètes », c'est que lorsque l'une d'elles vit quelque chose comme ce qu'il s'est passé à Paris, ou si vous regardez le cas des athlètes à différence de développement sexuel, comme le cas bien connu de Caster Semenya, ça n'est pas géré avec sensibilité. Nous devrions faire beaucoup mieux, nous devons trouver une voie collective qui ne mette pas un athlète en danger.À lire aussiLa boxeuse algérienne Imane Khelif dénonce l'offensive judiciaire de la Fédération internationale de boxeLes Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024 ont été un grand succès populaire et financier pour le CIO. Est-ce désormais le modèle à suivre et comment ce succès peut-il être mis à profit pour engager la jeune génération dans un paysage médiatique en constante évolution ?Paris 2024 était exactement ce dont le monde avait besoin, surtout après le COVID. C'étaient des Jeux incroyables et extrêmement réussis, et nous devons utiliser cette plateforme en ce moment où tout le monde en parle encore. Le Comité d'organisation de Paris 2024 et Tony Estanguet ont fait un travail incroyable à travers le pays en engageant les jeunes, les écoliers, et en les impliquant dans le sport, et c'est la mission du CIO de construire un monde meilleur grâce au sport. Donc, la question est de savoir comment on peut utiliser ce qui a été fait à Paris 2024 et le répandre à travers le monde.Les JO devraient-ils être diffusés sur des plateformes telles que Netflix ?À mesure que nous allons vers l'avenir, Netflix, Apple TV, YouTube, ces entreprises de streaming en ligne, ne font que se renforcer. Et quand on regarde l'Afrique par exemple, dans quelques années, vous aurez plus d'un demi-milliard de jeunes de moins de 35 ans et la plupart d'entre eux auront des smartphones. Donc, si nous ne trouvons pas des moyens créatifs de nous connecter avec eux sur ces plateformes en ligne, ça sera vraiment une occasion manquée.Êtes-vous favorable au retour des athlètes russes et biélorusses aux Jeux olympiques, à commencer par Milan Cortina l'année prochaine, et sous quelles conditions ?Malheureusement, dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, nous allons surtout devoir faire face à la question de savoir comment protéger et soutenir les athlètes dans toutes les zones de conflit. Nous constatons de plus en plus de conflits en Afrique, vous en avez en Europe et au Moyen-Orient. Pour moi, nous devons créer un groupe de travail qui élaborera un cadre qui permettra de protéger et de soutenir les athlètes de toutes ces zones de conflit afin de les aider à participer aux Jeux. Au bout du compte, nous devons également nous assurer que tous les athlètes présents aux Jeux seront protégés. Donc, il pourrait être nécessaire de mettre en place différentes réglementations pour garantir que tous les athlètes sont soutenus et qu'il n'y en ait pas qui soient davantage protégés que d'autres.À lire aussiJO 2024: les Russes et Biélorusses ne défileront pas à la cérémonie d'ouverture à ParisVous êtes actuellement la présidente de la commission de coordination des Jeux olympiques de la jeunesse de Dakar 2026. Le succès de ces Jeux sera-t-il crucial pour la crédibilité de l'Afrique à accueillir un jour les Jeux olympiques ?Oui, à 100 %. C'est la première fois que le mouvement olympique vient en Afrique et peut découvrir notre enthousiasme, notre énergie, notre culture, et cette opportunité nous excite. Mais cela s'accompagne de beaucoup de responsabilités. Nous travaillons en étroite collaboration avec Dakar 2026 pour nous assurer de donner cette tribune au Sénégal, mais aussi à l'Afrique, pour montrer au monde ce que nous pouvons faire.En général, pensez-vous que les intérêts du sport africain sont suffisamment représentés au sommet du mouvement olympique et que feriez-vous pour améliorer les choses ?Il y a toujours des points que nous pouvons améliorer pour nous en assurer. L'une des grandes choses dont j'ai parlé aux membres du CIO serait d'essayer de trouver des moyens innovants de combler le fossé entre les comités nationaux olympiques qui sont très bien soutenus et bien gérés et ceux qui ont besoin de beaucoup plus de soutien, car encore en développement. L'utilisation de la technologie et de l'intelligence artificielle en particulier sera très importante pour combler ce fossé, car une fois qu'il sera un peu comblé, les pays en développement pourront consacrer plus de temps et d'argent à soutenir leurs athlètes, et nous pourrons alors voir plus de médailles gagnées dans le monde entier.Apprendrez-vous le français si vous êtes élue au CIO ?Oui (elle le dit en français, et en riant)… C'est une promesse que j'ai faite aux membres du CIO. C'est quelque chose que je prendrai très au sérieux. Nous avons une école française au Zimbabwe et j'ai déjà fait quelques démarches (rires). Ce serait certainement un grand honneur pour moi de pouvoir parler la langue de notre fondateur, Pierre de Coubertin !À lire aussiSur les traces des Jeux olympiques de 1924, à Paris et ailleurs

Shownotes: Olympische Sportfreak: De strijd tussen Sebastian Coe en Steve Ovett in Moskou (Rolf Bos, voormalig sportjournalist De Volkskrant) Auteur van o.a. de sportboeken "Een Duitse Zomer" en "Russische Spelen"

L'heure est déjà au cocorico, avec les premières médailles françaises, dont la première médaille d'or, décrochée par l'équipe de France de Rugby à 7, une équipe qui fait la Une de tous les journaux ce dimanche. « Dupont première star », titre Aujourd'hui en France Dimanche, « le demi de mêlée des Bleus a survolé la finale de Rugby à 7, hier soir à Saint-Denis, en balayant les Fidjiens ». « La France l'adore », surenchérit l'Équipe, alors que la Tribune Dimanche salut « la France qui brille », et le Journal du Dimanche, « une moisson de médailles », car grâce au rugby, au judo et à l'escrime, les Français ont déjà 4 médailles autour du cou.Démonstration d'humanitéDes JO dont l'ambition ne s'arrête pas aux performances sportives. « Le sport est un précieux outil de soft power », affirme ainsi l'Express, qui a interviewé l'Ambassadeur pour le Sport au ministère des Affaires étrangères, Samuel Ducroquet. À ses yeux, « le sport est un outil extrêmement précieux pour rapprocher les peuples, à commencer par les plus jeunes générations. C'est le cas en Afrique », ajoute-t-il, évoquant par exemple, « un partage d'expertise entre la France et le Sénégal autour de l'organisation des Jeux olympiques de la Jeunesse à Dakar, en 2026 ».L'Express a aussi interrogé Sebastian Coe, ancien champion de 1 500 mètres, organisateur des JO de Londres en 2012, auxquels « ceux de Paris sont », nous dit-on, « souvent comparés ». Qu'observe-t-il ? Que « le mouvement olympique est l'une des plus grandes démonstrations d'humanité, qui incarne par essence la condition humaine, la nature compétitive des individus et même des nations ». Pour Sebastian Coe, il faut « comprendre que les Jeux sont bien plus vastes que toutes les questions d'organisation ou même que les résultats. L'ambition globale doit être de créer des Jeux qui engagent, enthousiasment et même rassemblent le pays ».L'espoir des DémocratesÀ la Une des hebdomadaires également cette semaine : une femme, Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris ou « l'espoir anti-Trump », s'exclame le Nouvel Obs. La vice-présidente et désormais candidate à la Maison Blanche, « a démarré sur les chapeaux de roue, avec une énergie qui place soudain le vétéran Donald Trump dans le rôle du candidat âgé, rassis et grincheux ». « Le fait de voir les Républicains paniquer nous dit tout ce qu'on a besoin de savoir », ironise un député démocrate.De son côté le Point, nous propose le portrait d'une vice-présidente qu'il juge « effacée », mais à laquelle il s'intéresse de près, album photos à l'appui. On y voit, en noir et blanc, la petite Kamala Harris manger une glace en 1966, l'étudiante souriante en 1986, ou encore la femme de pouvoir, à son bureau de procureure générale de la Californie en 2012. « À quoi ressemblera la guerre éclair de la candidate ? » interroge le Nouvel Obs, qui répond ainsi : « À une offensive tous azimuts contre Trump ». Kamala Harris affiche, nous dit l'hebdomadaire, « un parcours de vie impressionnant. Elle racontera comment la fille d'une chercheuse indienne en cancérologie et d'un économiste jamaïcain est devenue procureure, puis procureure générale, sénatrice et enfin vice-présidente ». Et peut-être, dans quatre mois, présidente des États-Unis...CompromisLa France, elle, se cherche toujours un Premier ministre. Marianne a choisi de résumer la situation dans un dessin. Un dessin de Jiho qui nous montre des hommes et des femmes se battre, bras et jambes entremêlés, avec au-dessus de ce croquis, une question : « Un futur Premier ministre se cache dans cette image. Sauras-tu le retrouver ? ».Trêve de plaisanterie, il faut tout de même dire que le Nouveau Front populaire a fini par se mettre d'accord sur un nom, après de longues semaines de tractations. Son choix s'est porté sur Lucie Castets, une haute fonctionnaire, que la Tribune Dimanche a interrogée chez elle à Paris. Elle se présente comme « une femme de gauche, avec des convictions féministes et écologistes ». Mais elle affirme « n'appartenir à aucun courant ».Toutefois, il y a pour le moment un obstacle de taille à sa nomination, la Tribune Dimanche le lui rappelle : « Emmanuel Macron considère que vous n'avez pas la capacité de gouverner, faute de majorité suffisamment solide ». Ce à quoi Lucie Castets répond : « Le président doit prendre au sérieux le résultat des élections législatives et mettre au gouvernement la formation politique qui est arrivée en tête, le Nouveau Front populaire ». Un rien langue de bois, Lucie Castets est plus claire lorsqu'il s'agit de parvenir à une majorité, elle se dit « prête à chercher des compromis avec les autres groupes, à l'exception du Rassemblement national ». 

Sebastian Coe looks back on his days as an Olympian, including his rivalry with Steve Ovett and training on Christmas Day. He talks about his role at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the pleasure in awarding Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill her heptathlon gold medal. Also, as the current president of World Athletics, he discusses the biggest challenges ahead for the sport.

Der er kastet grus i det olympiske maskineri, og skurken er Sebastian Coe, præsident i Det Internationale Atletikforbund (IAAF). Forbrydelsen? Han har lovet guldmedaljevindere i atletik til sommerens OL i Paris 350.000 kroner oven i hatten. Historisk har atleter aldrig fået en økonomisk bonus fra officiel hånd for at vise sig frem til OL. Det vil IAAF nu lave om på. Beslutningen har pustet til en gammel flamme. For ødelægger den her slags nye tiltag selve den olympiske hånd og truer legenes fremtid? Vært: Emil Schiønning

World Athletics has become the latest sporting body to issue a blanket ban on transgender women competing in track and field events, despite a lack of conclusive evidence they have an advantage. Under pressure from political groups and some current and former athletes, the World Athletics president, Sebastian Coe, said the decision was made in the name of fairness. Worldwatch's Max Towle has this report.

Los Angeles, 6 de agosto de 1984. Em plena segunda-feira, os 8 atletas que disputariam a final dos 800 metros rasos daquela edição dos jogos Olímpicos estão na pista se aquecendo e se preparando mentalmente para a prova, que aconteceria às 17 horas e 50 minutos. Donato Sabia, da Itália, os quenianos Edwin Koech e Billy Konchellah, Johnny Gray e Earl Jones dos Estados Unidos, e as três estrelas, os ingleses Steve Ovett, campeão olímpico em 1980 na Rússia, e Sebastian Coe, recordista mundial do momento, além do nosso Joaquim Cruz, que vinha de grandes resultados, como o terceiro lugar no mundial de atletismo realizado um ano antes, em Helsinque, Finlândia. Minutos antes da largada, Joaquim Cruz pensou em tudo pelo qual teve que passar para estar ali. Uma longa jornada que havia começado em outro esporte, em outro país. Nesta edição do Pelo RETROvisor, nós vamos relembrar a trajetória de Joaquim Cruz, que saiu de Taguatinga, a primeira cidade-satélite de Brasília, para brilhar nas provas de 800 e 1500 metros nas Olimpíadas.

Have you ever heard of high intensity interval training? That's quite a mouthful, isn't it? Luckily, we usually just call this type of workout HIIT. It's a training style that has recently gained a lot of popularity. In this Chatterbox episode, hosts Andrew and Anna explain the entire concept of HIIT and share their stories related to it. Chatterbox is a Culips series where two native English speakers have a quick and natural conversation about interesting topics. This series is designed to be beneficial for intermediate and advanced English language learners. Fun facts Although HIIT has been gaining in popularity recently, the concept has been around for a long time. Famously, British athletics coach Peter Coe used the principles of HIIT to help train his son, Sebastian Coe, who would later go on to win several Olympic medals as a middle distance runners!

From Danny Boyle's opening ceremony, through Super Saturday and a record-breaking Paralympics, 2012 was a golden summer of national pride and sporting success. But to what end? A decade on from London 2012 – with nearly a third of UK adults and children classed as inactive – we explore whether the Olympics and Paralympics really delivered a sporting legacy for our country. We hear from sprinter Desiree Henry, rowing legend Dame Katherine Grainger, London 2012 chief Sebastian Coe, Sport England chair Chris Boardman and Paralympic icon Tanni Grey-Thompson as we assess why it takes more than magic moments and star athletes to get people into sport and exercise. Panel: Delyth Lloyd, Dan Roan, Dame Katherine Grainger and Matt Rogan. Producer: Sam Sheringham

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7062NO AI TRANS NELLE GARE FEMMINILI DI NUOTO E DI RUGBY (PRESTO NEMMENO CALCIO E ATLETICA?) da Provita & FamigliaNegli ultimi mesi si erano moltiplicate le polemiche e le proteste per la partecipazione di atleti maschi transgender alle gare di nuoto femminili e in molti avevano chiesto di porre fine a questo fenomeno che discrimina e penalizza le atlete.Alla fine la FINA (Federazione internazionale di nuoto) ha ascoltato le voci di protesta e ha deciso di impedire agli atleti transgender di competere nelle gare ufficiali femminili se hanno attraversato qualsiasi fase della pubertà maschile. La nuova policy richiede che i concorrenti transgender abbiano completato la transizione di sesso all'età di 12 anni per poter competere nelle competizioni femminili.La Federazione ha anche annunciato che verrà creata una categoria "aperta" nelle competizioni riservata a tutti i nuotatori la cui identità di genere è diversa dal sesso di nascita.Brent Nowicki, direttore esecutivo della Federazione, ha affermato che il loro approccio nella stesura di questa policy è stato completo, inclusivo, basato sulla scienza e, soprattutto, sull'equità competitiva.Nota di BastaBugie: ecco altre notizie sul "gaio" mondo gay... sempre meno gaio.ANCHE NEL RUGBY BANDITI GLI ATLETI TRANSLa questione dell'invasione di maschi trans nello sport femminile sembra fortunatamente essersi avviata verso la soluzione più ragionevole e diversi organi internazionali hanno iniziato a muoversi per proteggere i diritti delle atlete.Ora anche l'International Rugby League (IRL) ha infatti deciso di vietare agli atleti maschi transgender di partecipare a eventi sportivi femminili. L'annuncio dell'IRL è arrivato appena poche ore quello della Federazione internazionale di nuoto (FINA), che lunedì ha istituito un divieto simile per i nuotatori transgender.I membri della federazione hanno comunicato che "nel raggiungere questa posizione, l'IRL, che ha esaminato per l'ultima volta la questione della partecipazione degli atleti transgender alla lega internazionale di rugby nel gennaio-febbraio 2021, ha preso in considerazione diversi sviluppi rilevanti nello sport mondiale, tra cui la pubblicazione da parte del CIO del suo Framework del novembre 2021 sull'equità, la non discriminazione e l'inclusione sulla base dell'identità di genere e delle variazioni di sesso.L'IRL ha affermato che era una sua responsabilità bilanciare il diritto dell'individuo a partecipare con il rischio percepito per gli altri partecipanti e garantire che tutti ricevano un'equa udienza.(Provita & Famiglia, 23 giugno 2022)ANCHE CALCIO E ATLETICA VOGLIONO PROTEGGERE LE DONNE DAI TRANSLa FIFA, ovvero l'organo di governo del calcio mondiale e la Federazione internazionale dell'Atletica Leggera stanno rivedendo le loro politiche pro-transgender dopo la svolta di qualche giorno fa da parte della FINA, la federazione internazionale di nuoto.La Fina, infatti, cambiando finalmente e fortunatamente rotta, ha deciso di limitare la partecipazione degli atleti transgender alle competizioni femminili, per non discriminare le donne. Sebastian Coe, presidente di World Athletics, ha detto alla BBC che il consiglio dell'organizzazione ha discusso i regolamenti a fine dell'anno e ha elogiato il suo collega della Fina per la decisione presa.Un atteggiamento simile sembra stia prendendo la Fifa. Un portavoce, infatti, avrebbe dichiarato che c'è un cambiamento "in corso". Non ha rivelato dettagli o particolari, ma è emerso che la Fifa sta prendendo in esame le indicazioni di esperti medici, legali, scientifici, delle prestazioni e dei diritti umani e anche della posizione del Comitato olimpico internazionale (CIO) proprio per rivedere le politiche pro-transgender al fine di evitare qualsiasi discriminazioni per le donne.Il vento sta, finalmente, cambiando? C'è da augurarselo.(Provita & Famiglia, 26 giugno 2022)COSA C'È DI INSOPPORTABILE NEL ''MATRIMONIO'' TRA PAOLA TURCI E FRANCESCA PASCALE?C'è qualcosa di insopportabile intorno a quelle che tutti chiamano le "nozze" della cantante Paola Turci e di Francesca Pascale, l'ex "fidanzata" di Silvio Berlusconi. Qualcosa di ancora più insopportabile della morbosa copertura dell'evento da parte di giornali e tv, che per settimane ci hanno scassato l'anima su tutti i dettagli di questa "splendida storia d'amore", e poi sulla cerimonia e su quanta gioia si riversa sull'umanità intera a causa di questo "matrimonio".Matrimonio? Ecco la cosa ancora più insopportabile: quelli che si preoccupano solo di precisare che non di matrimonio si tratta, ma di unione civile. E ti spiegano che la legge italiana non permette di chiamare matrimonio (che è solo fra uomo e donna) quella che è una semplice unione fra persone dello stesso sesso. E chiedono quindi alla stampa di usare la terminologia corretta. Sono magari gli stessi, soprattutto cattolici, che hanno sempre sostenuto il sì alle unioni civili "basta che non si confondano con il matrimonio e la famiglia".Al che ti chiedi se costoro siano più ingenui o ipocriti. Perché è vero: tecnicamente in Italia c'è una differenza tra matrimonio e unione civile, ma nella sostanza? L'unica vera differenza concreta sta nel divieto - per i civiluniti - di adottare bambini, divieto peraltro aggirabile. Per il resto diritti e doveri sono gli stessi (anzi, tra civiluniti non c'è l'obbligo di fedeltà come nel matrimonio). E allora a cosa serve mettersi a discutere se il riferimento è all'articolo 29 della Costituzione o all'articolo 2?La realtà è che è solo una questione di tappe. Introdurre subito il matrimonio omosessuale - o egualitario - sarebbe stato un boccone troppo difficile da digerire in una sola volta. Così, come è stato per altri paesi prima dell'Italia, si comincia con l'approvazione di una legge sull'unione civile: nel linguaggio comune, dei media, si comincia però a chiamarlo matrimonio, "civiluniti" sparisce dal linguaggio comune per lasciare spazio a "sposi", e nel frattempo il concetto di "famiglia arcobaleno" si è già affermato; infine si arriva all'approvazione di una legge che prende atto della realtà e cambia anche la terminologia, matrimonio e basta. Senza che nessuno obietti perché tanto ci si è già abituati a considerarlo tale e anzi, ci si chiederà stupiti e scandalizzati come mai prima si chiamava unione civile.Tutto il can can pubblicitario intorno alla coppia Turci-Pascale - uno spazio che neanche per Diana e Carlo d'Inghilterra - proprio a questo serve: a far entrare nella testa la parola matrimonio riferita a una unione omosessuale (magari ricordando che c'è ancora un passo da fare per arrivare alla piena uguaglianza). Così come era stato poche settimane prima per l'altra coppia omo molto celebrata: il giornalista Alberto Matano con il "suo" Riccardo Mannino.Era una strada segnata fin dall'inizio, e a questa deriva hanno pesantemente concorso politici cattolici e persino pastori (non dimenticheremo i fantastici editoriali di Avvenire sul grande contributo che unioni omosessuali stabili danno alla società), che hanno giustificato e valorizzato le unioni civili, facendo credere che basti giocare sui termini per salvare l'unicità della famiglia.Costoro, invece di fare equilibrismi impossibili sull'uso delle parole, avrebbero dovuto e dovrebbero ora rileggersi quanto il Magistero (e sottolineo Magistero, non l'opinione personale di questo o quel vescovo) ha chiaramente affermato sul tema delle unioni fra persone dello stesso sesso, e troviamo sintetizzato nel documento della Congregazione per la Dottrina della Fede del 2003, "Considerazioni circa i progetti di riconoscimento legale delle unioni tra persone omosessuali".Citiamo solo la conclusione: «La Chiesa insegna che il rispetto verso le persone omosessuali non può portare in nessun modo all'approvazione del comportamento omosessuale oppure al riconoscimento legale delle unioni omosessuali. Il bene comune esige che le leggi riconoscano, favoriscano e proteggano l'unione matrimoniale come base della famiglia, cellula primaria della società. Riconoscere legalmente le unioni omosessuali oppure equipararle al matrimonio, significherebbe non soltanto approvare un comportamento deviante, con la conseguenza di renderlo un modello nella società attuale, ma anche offuscare valori fondamentali che appartengono al patrimonio comune dell'umanità. La Chiesa non può non difendere tali valori, per il bene degli uomini e di tutta la società».Il giudizio della Chiesa è sempre stato chiaro, stare oggi a disquisire su quale parola usare è solo patetico. E, appunto, insopportabile.(Riccardo Cascioli, La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, 4 luglio 2022)

Our Great Coach on this episode is Frank Dick. Frank Dick is the current President of the European Athletics Coaches Association. From 1970 until 1979 he was Scottish National Athletics Coach. Then in 1979 he was appointed as the British Athletics Federation's Director of Coaching. In this position Frank led the British Athletics team into its "golden era" with Olympic gold medalists such as Daley Thompson, Steve Ovett and Sebastian Coe. And ultimately victory in the European Cup in 1989. His contribution to sport and coaching was recognized with the awarding of an OBE in 1989 and an induction to the UK Coaches Hall of Fame in 1999. He has also coached athletes from other sports such as F1 driver Gerhard Berger, Ice Skater Katarina Witt, Tennis player Boris Becker and Golfer Justin Rose. Amongst the many other successes on his impressive resume are a Fulbright Scholarship in 1965, the publication of 4 books, stints as chair of the British Association of National Coaches, and British Institute of Sports Coaches , the appointment as High Performance Director for the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee, and strategic planning consultant for the England Rugby Leadership Team under Eddie Jones. Frank is a master coach, and a fabulous story teller and some of the key parts of this interview for me were His view that the great coaches have curiosity and try to look at the world differently to learn new things. They are also challenging and do this through asking good questions. His thoughts on learning faster than the competition, and holding your self to the same expectations around learning that you have for your athletes. And that Teams are selected for their diversity, and from that you must create harmony and so your job as a coach is often as the conductor of the orchestra. This was a great conversation, I left feeling inspired and educated. And I hope you enjoy it as much as Jim and I did.

Paul goes solo on this special supplemental episode to discuss college football S&C, what Torre Becton brings to Texas (spoiler: Paul doesn't know), and many of the fallacies and dichotomies that define the conversation around training for speed, power, strength, and agility. What can we learn from Ben Johnson, Sebastian Coe, and Barry Sanders with respect to the value of strength training? Is being strong ever a weakness? Why is improving force production the best way to improve power and why does rate of force training have inherent diminishing returns? If this topic intrigues you, give it a listen. But listen to it all. ** The time is now for your new mortgage or refi with Gabe Winslow at 832-557-1095 or MortgagesbyGabe.

Lunch Talk Live with Mike Tirico for Friday 5/15

Heute in den 99 Sekunden Sportbusiness kompakt von und mit Prof. Dr. Gerhard Nowak von der IST-Hochschule für Management: Der deutsche Sport darf sich im kommenden Jahr auf eine erneute Aufstockung seiner Fördergelder durch das Bundesinnenministerium (BMI) freuen. Das berichtet der Sport-Informations-Dienst. Im Jahr 2020 soll der Sportetat des BMI laut Haushaltsentwurf auf 245,135 Millionen Euro anwachsen. Bislang gab es 234 Millionen Euro. Über sämtliche Bundesministerien verteilt betragen die Bundesmittel samt mittelbarer und unmittelbarer Maßnahmen für 2020 insgesamt 526,1 Millionen Euro. Der Leichtathletik-Weltverband IAAF hat den größten Sponsoren-Deal in seiner Geschichte an Land vereinbart. Der chinesische Multi-Konzern Wanda Group wird ab 2020 für zehn Jahre Titelsponsor der Diamond League. Wanda-Tochter Infront erhält im Zuge der Vereinbarung weitgehende Medienrechte an der wichtigsten Wettkampfserie ab 2025. Dies gab IAAF-Präsident Sebastian Coe in Doha bekannt. Hinzu kommt künftig ein jährlicher internationaler Wettkampf in China. Auf den asiatischen Markt legt die IAAF, die künftig unter dem Namen "World Atheltics" firmiert, in den kommenden Jahren einen Schwerpunkt. Die Arbeiten am größten Cricket-Stadion der Welt in Indien sind zu 90 Prozent abgeschlossen. Im Januar 2020 soll gespielt werden. Das Motera Cricket Stadium soll Platz für rund 110.000 Zuschauer bieten und rund 89 Millionen Euro kosten. Das Stadion entsteht auf dem Grundstück des ehemaligen Stadions. Dieses bot einst Platz für 49.000Zuschauer, wurde jedoch im Jahr 2015 abgerissen, um Platz für das neue Stadion zu schaffen. Das Gelände ist direkt an die Metro angeschlossen und beheimatet zwei weitere Cricket-Spielflächen.

The sporting world has been tainted by the constant drip of doping allegations, bribery and corruption - does it need a 'Mr. Clean' to fix it? Hardtalk speaks to Sebastian Coe – former British Olympic champion. He set 12 world records during his athletics career on the track and went on to hold many roles in various sporting organisations. Now he wants to become the president of the International Association of Athletics Federations, the IAAF. What more can be done to help clean up sport?(Photo: Lord Sebastian Coe addresses the media as he unveils his IAAF presidential campaign manifesto. Credit: Andrew Redington/Getty Images)

Kirsty Young's castaway is Sebastian Coe.It is more than a quarter of a century since his rivalry with fellow middle-distance runner Steve Ovett enraptured the nation. After retiring from the racetrack, he enjoyed a career in politics. Now, though, his focus is on the Olympics once again - not on individual medals this time, but ensuring the 2012 games in London are a success.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Record: The Closest Thing to Crazy, Katie Melua Book: Such Sweet Thunder: Benny Green on Jazz Luxury: A piano and guide to playing it.
