OPLC believed the name after Queen Elizabeth reflected a real tangible legacy from the 2012 Games, and reflects their plans for making the Park one of Europe’s premier visitor destinations and a new thriving community with family homes, jobs, sports and leisure activities at its heart.

Oz track and field athletes focus the ‘first title’ at Delhi CWG

Filed under: athletic gear,Athletic store,athletics equipment,athletics shop,sports equipments — Tags: , , , — tracknfield @ 7:09 am

Australian track and field athlete Sally Pearson reckons that the withdrawal of some of the best racers from the Delhi Commonwealth Games is disappointing, but feels that it is also an opportunity for her to claim her first major title.

Canadians Priscilla Lopes-Schliep and Perdita Felicien have pulled out of October 3-14 Games, robbing the 100 metres hurdles’ of its appeal.

“It is quite disappointing that the best aren’t here because it would have been like a world championships final. But you can only beat who is in the race, and that’s all I can do really,” The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Pearson, as saying.

“I don’t really know why the other athletes have dropped out. It is really late in the season, but it’s a Commonwealth Games, it’s an Australian team, you’re running for your country, and that’s why I am here. And, being a bit selfish, I want my first title,” she added.

Pearson further said that her experience at the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games would prove to be vital.

“It was more of an eye-opener of what you have to do to be able to be an elite athlete. It was a really good building block, and I saw how much I wanted to be a world champion and an Olympic champion,” she said. (ANI)

Filed under: athletic gear,Athletic store,athletic supply,athletics equipment,athletics shop,sports equipments — Tags: , , , — tracknfield @ 7:43 am

It can be very beneficial to workout with kettlebells. They are different from traditional weight-lifting. They look similar like balls along with a handle attached. You may feel that they are looking odd but if you use them correctly then they can deliver a great workout.

Let us have a look on the following points to find out how to obtain a great workout with kettlebells:

The first thing you should do is to find a weight that you are comfy with.  Generally, men will make use of heavy weights merely for muscle building, whereas women will use less weight simply for toning and slim muscle building. There are some exercises which might require little increment or reduction in weights.

You just need to hold the handle of the kettlebells and then start exercising. Most of the weight lifters put on gloves so that kettlebell will not slip from their hands while they become sweaty. In order to avoid injury it is a good to have a workout partner when you are lifting heavy weights.

Commonwealth Games an exposure to Olympics

SOUTH Africa’s chances of winning more medals at the 2012 London Olympics are slim after a small team was named for the Commonwealth Games in October.

This is according to athletics great Sam Mlangeni, speaking after the SA Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee president Gideon Sam named the team yesterday.

Sascoc are sending a team of 11 track and field athletes, with no room for the marathoners, including top runners like Hendrick Ramaala. Mlangeni said he could not believe that potential medallists like Rene Kalmer, Lebo and Lebohang Phalula are not in the team.

“I still can’t believe we are sending such a small team to the Commonwealth Games, I thought we were going to send just over 20,” Mlangeni said. “Most of the countries are using the Commonwealth Games to expose their athletes to int

ernational competition and prepare them for the Olympics.”

Sam said they were confident that the athletes and swimmers would continue taking the lead in terms of winning medals.

Events were divided into an A and a B pool.

Dale Garland took the 400m hurdles A title, while Peter Irving took the B. Glenn Etherington and Leo Rice did the same in the 110m hurdles.

Yet another mile stone by ‘Blade Runner’

Filed under: athletic gear,athletic goods,athletics equipment,athletics shop — Tags: , , , , , , — tracknfield @ 1:44 am

"A world record is always a good thing to finish the season off on," Pistorius told AFP.

The 23-year-old clocked 47.04 seconds improving his global best by 0.45 seconds.

Pistorius, known as “The Blade Runner” because of the prosthetics he uses for running, set the previous record in Beijing in 2008.

Pistorius set a 46.02 personal best in Italy last month and 46.93 in the B-race in London on Friday night, both against able bodied competition.

But his performance on Saturday easily bettered his previous T44 standard as he continues to stretch the gap between himself and the rest of the world in his class.

“A world record is always a good thing to finish the season off on,” Pistorius told AFP.

“I learned a lot from Friday’s race where the rainy conditions were not what I am used to.”

World Championships 1500m semifinalist Peter van der Westhuizen, 25, fell more than 10 seconds short of his personal best in the men’s mile on Saturday to finish last in 4:05.52.

Commonwealth 400m hurdles champion LJ van Zyl was below his best on Friday when he finished, also last, in 50.64 seconds for his event. This was almost three seconds slower than his career record.

The next Diamond League meeting, the penultimate of 14 this season, will be on August 19 in Zurich.
