ThinkSport at SportAccord Convention 2016

Guardar

Dear friends of sport,

We are pleased to announce that ThinkSport, an exciting new initiative, and the first network that brings together the wealth of sport-related expertise and excellence in the region, is officially launching at this year’s SportAccord Convention, which will take place from 17 to 22 April 2016 at the SwissTech Convention Centre in Lausanne.

We are proud to be sharing a stand in the convention’s exhibition area with three of our founding members – the City of Lausanne, the Canton de Vaud, and the Swiss Confederation. It would be our pleasure to welcome you at our stand, discuss our plans for the future and how we might engage with your organisation. Through a series of press events and presentations scheduled to take place during the week, we will also introduce ThinkSport to the wider sporting community

For those unaware of the annual gathering of SportAccord Convention: this 6-day event attracts up to 2,000 delegates including rights holders, organising committees, cities, media, businesses and other organisations involved in the development of sport. Held in a different country each year, the convention also brings together representatives from more than 100 International Sports Federations and enjoys the participation of one of our own founding members, the International Olympic Committee.

SportAccord Convention hasn’t visited Lausanne since 2004, and if you are interested in meeting and learning more about the international sports scene, this would be a great opportunity for your organisation to connect with the key decision-makers in sport - all in one place. We are happy to talk to you about what we will be doing there during the week and help you meet key people.

More information on the convention and what it has to offer anyone interested in the sports movement, can be found in the SportAccord Convention brochure, or on the SAC website at http://www.sportaccordconvention.com/.

Best regards,

Anna Hellman

Director

Sinner-Alcaraz, the duel that came to succeed the three phenomenons

Beyond the final result, Roland Garros left the feeling that the Italian and the Spaniard will shape the great duel that came to help us through the duel for the end of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic era.

Table tennis: Brazil’s Bruna Costa Alexandre will be Olympic and Paralympic in Paris 2024

She is the third in her sport and the seventh athlete to achieve it in the same edition; in Santiago 2023 she was the first athlete with disabilities to compete at the Pan American level and won a medal.

Rugby 7s: the best player of 2023 would only play the medal match in Paris

Argentinian Rodrigo Isgró received a five-game suspension for an indiscipline in the circuit’s decisive clash that would exclude him until the final or the bronze match; the Federation will seek to make the appeal successful.

Rhonex Kipruto, owner of the world record for the 10000 meters on the road, was suspended for six years

The Kenyan received the maximum sanction for irregularities in his biological passport and the Court considered that he was part of a system of “deliberate and sophisticated doping” to improve his performance. He will lose his record and the bronze medal at the Doha World Cup.

Katie Ledecky spoke about doping Chinese swimmers: “It’s difficult to go to Paris knowing that we’re going to compete with some of these athletes”

The American, a seven-time Olympic champion, referred to the case of the 23 positive controls before the Tokyo Games that were announced a few weeks ago and shook the swimming world. “I think our faith in some of the systems is at an all-time low,” he said.
