Marion Bartoli Wants To Go To London 2012

2011-12-10T15:42:00.001-08:00

In conflict with the French Tennis Federation, Marion Bartoli has to appeal to the International Federation (ITF) and / or the Court of Arbitration for Sport to get a wild card for the London Olympics.

According to regulations, it is clear: Marion Bartoli can not hope to compete in the Olympics next summer in London, on the grass of Wimbledon, where she was a finalist in 2007. The eligibility rules of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) lay down that any candidate player to have participated in at least two Fed Cup matches during the Olympics, one in 2011 or 2012. What did not and will not Marion Bartoli, the last selection in the France team was in the final loss against Russia in 2004. Yes but the world number nine has yet to cross the final Olympics. If the idea of playing in Fed Cup is excluded (it requires the presence of his father Walter at his side, denied that the FFT), the native of Le Puy-en-Velay account pass directly by the ITF in calling for a wild -card (in addition to the first 56 players qualify automatically, the ITF gives six places, the IOC Tripartite Commission gives two).

However, the ITF said that any selection must be approved by the National Federation and National Olympic Committee concerned. This is far from won in the "case" Bartoli. The player is therefore considering a further appeal: to plead his case before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, reversing its terms to their account. " The Federation said that it is I who imposes rules unacceptable. But I say they are the ones who ask for conditions that are unacceptable! At present, no player of the Top 10 would agree to come and play for France. The players that are at my level have all got on their team that I request. Petkovic is with his coach in Germany. Same for Goerges, Kvitova, Sharapova and all the Russians ... "says French in L'Equipe . It has already received support from the WTA. Bartoli can also go to the conciliation commission CNOSF or before an administrative tribunal to succeed. In 2000, Nathalie Tauziat, not selected for the Sydney Olympics, had asked the CNOSF but his approach had failed.

Olympian Lindsey Vonn Is Back On The Market

2011-11-28T16:06:00.000-08:00

After four years of marriage, Lindsey Vonn is splitting with Thomas Vonn, who also serves as his principal adviser and helps coach.

The Olympic gold medalist skier on Sunday night confirmed the couple had begun divorce proceedings.

"This is a very difficult time in my personal life and I hope the media and my fans to respect my need for privacy in this matter," he said in a statement to The Associated Press. Thomas Vonn, said in an e-mail to the AP who filed for divorce on Monday.

Lindsey Vonn is known as Lindsey Kildow before getting married September 29, 2007. It is unclear whether to maintain or re-name Kildow. The U.S. Ski Team had no answer and emails to representatives of the left Vonn were not returned.

He added in his statement that will be led by the U.S. team and expected competition from the rest of the season.

He jumped the slalom season-opening World Cup on Sunday after slightly injuring his back during training. She plans to return to the practice courts Tuesday to a downward trend in Lake Louise, Alberta, the site of the next competition.

Vonn became one of the faces of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, winning a gold medal in the downhill and a bronze in the super-G - all in one shin badly wounded.

His moment of Vancouver was years in the making, starting when his father, Alan Kildow, introduced her to skiing. Even the family moved to Colorado to promote the passion for the slopes.

However, the skier of 27 years old, had a confrontation with his father some years. By all accounts, the fight began before the 2006 Turin Olympics. The increase in tension was part of his relationship with Thomas Vonn, a former U.S. Olympic skier is almost nine years of age.

Over the years, Thomas Vonn became his rock of support. He helped coordinate the interviews, provided advice on the course and the tendency to logistics, the release of Lindsey Vonn to concentrate on what you do best - ski fast.

It has become one of the best runners in U.S. history, winning three World Cup titles in general. She also has 42 wins World Cup, tied with Sweden's Anja Paerson for fourth place on the career list.

With the victory last month in Austria, giant slalom, Vonn became the fifth woman skier to win a race in all five alpine disciplines. She is also the second American skier to complete the sweep discipline, joining Bode Miller.

Whenever the back is in shape, Vonn could add to his victory total this week at Lake Louise, on a hill, where usually also the heavens. She has 14 top three finishes in place, including eight victories.

Birgit Fischer Getting Serious About 2012 Olympics

2011-08-23T06:53:00.001-07:00

Women get in the canoe world championships in Olympic boat classes, one gold and two silver medals

The bad news reached them during the anticipated finals of the women with special power over 500 meters. Her older brother would not do it well, he was admitted to the hospital, let the caller know Birgit Fischer on Saturday afternoon from the home through the Brandenburg phone. Actually wanted to leave the Grande Dame of canoe racing until Sunday after the last World Cup race in Szeged / Hungary with her van. But they learned nothing more about the health of her brother, she packed her bags and went then to the 1200 km long journey home.

The outcome in individual races on the artificial waterway, fishermen, however, looked at yet. Finally, the route is one of four options in order to qualify for the 2012 Olympics in London. For this purpose the 49-year-old has recently launched her comeback as a paddler now fourth.

So far their resignations from the resignations were always rewarded with an Olympic gold. Their unprecedented success story, of course they want next year to add another glorious chapter. The world championships, however, showed that it is damn hard to even paddle once to the national team.

The German four-kayak with Carolin Leonhardt (Mannheim), Silke Hormann (Karlsruhe), Franziska Weber (Potsdam) and Tina Dietze (Leipzig) won silver over 500 meters. The latter two were in a double over the same distance also second. And Nicole Reinhardt (Lampertheim) could repeat their triumph in the one of 2005. Only 200 meters remained on the German fleet woman without a medal. The quota place is secured for the premiere Olympic distance.

"What the girls have shown was really strong. You have honestly earned their congratulations," Fischer acknowledged honestly. The World Cup would have been no need for it but to recognize that they will get at her "crazy projects" nothing for free. "I was already aware," she said, "that it is hard as ever to join the team. But I decided to comeback and pull through this too."

National coach Reiner Kießler finds pleasure in it, that the 27-times former world champion will again. "Competition is good for business. Our team can be stronger." At the same time he also hopes to return by Katrin Wagner-Augustin. The four-time Olympic medalist from Potsdam had taken a few days ago her son Emil for the world and expressed the distance the thumb.

Scheduled is the comeback of Birgit Fischer's niece, Fanny. The four-time Olympic medalist from the 2008 pause motivations. How long, did not reveal the 25-year-olds.

Maybe now she feels encouraged by her aunt to start anew. In an article for the "Welt am Sonntag" said Birgit Fischer: "I'd love to go with Fanny again two together we could tackle it.."

Jana Koehler Waits For The Olympics

2011-07-31T08:09:00.000-07:00

When Jana Koehler, 25, and Julia Sude, 23, yesterday evening abklatschten after their match, they had tears in their eyes. The German beach volleyball champions from Hamburger SV had the Grand Slam tournament in Poland Stare Jablonki missed the second round just - and just in 1:2 sets against Stuttgart's Karla Borger and Britta Büthe, two national rivals on the way to the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Them that at least $ 5,100 prize money, about € 3560, remained was a small consolation at this moment. Nevertheless: 38,000 € Köhler / brews have earned this year on the international tour already, and so they have recorded their expected total cost of 55,000 € in 2011 to two thirds. "Things are going better this summer than in 2010," says Kohler.

When top athletes as they call their financial situation as fairly relaxed, they're talking about a black zero, that at the end of the year the expenditures not exceed revenues. Koehler's case is typical of the needs of many members of the Olympic team in Hamburg / London 2012, while having their livelihoods, can pay rent and meals, on the other hand, have to constantly worry if one of their column breaks away livelihoods. And, every lengthy injury could mean from her career.

"The problem of beach volleyball," says Kohler, "that the prize money normally take months to land on our accounts. We still have outstanding debts from 2010." The costs fall again at an early stage. Flights to tournaments and training camps must be booked early enough to get hold of reasonably priced tickets. Koehler: "This means we must enter into financial template."

It's hard when your own savings account is empty, the current account in the red and the stock portfolio is not even created. So Koehler decided last September to go wait tables a week after the surprising win the German championship in Timmendorf. Tim said that the employer maltster, the TV chef, who in the camp street near the subway station operates Sternschanze his "Bullerei" was "was a coincidence. I applied to a display back." Served four months the trainee teacher, subjects: mathematics, biology, food and drink, sometimes lunch, sometimes dinner. Training and university in between - a 60-hour week. "The fact that I play beach volleyball semi-successfully, I have not shouted from the rooftops," says Kohler. The use between kitchen and customer, but worth it. The hoped-for 10,000 euro starting capital for the new season came together until this January, the tournament schedule was implemented and the corresponding (global) travel is purchased.

"I could also add a credit, but I felt too young. The waiter gave me a lot of fun. I'd do it next time as well." They probably do not need. Köhler and brews, the daughter of the volleyball legend Burkhard Sude from Friedrichshafen, have struck in recent months in the advanced world class. In June they were in Rome at the World Championships as the best German women duo fifth. Their greatest success.

Wealth is not yet in sight. "Every cent we earn extra money we put back into the sport," says Kohler. Coaches must be paid, massages and physiotherapy on the road. "We want to go to London, and it is worth the effort." The goal is still some way off. At the national qualification for 2012, it ranked behind the European champions Sara Goller / Laura Ludwig from Hamburg and Katrin Holtwick / Ilka Semmler of food. The best eight tournaments between April 2011 and July 2012 are among the best two fly to the Olympics. "We do not have enough options to improve ourselves," says Kohler. And if it was not enough for London, "we are young enough to take the next Games in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro in attack."

At 18 she moved to France and still win all the titles in the Formula Windsurfing (big board without drift) and windsurf slalom and speed (small board without drift).

Then everything changed in 2006. "I did a stress test, 15 days at the world championships. I made a ventricular tachycardia. The cardiologist told me stop you + all the competition, every effort +".

Unable to give up, she decides to be implanted defibrillator to prevent any risk of cardiac arrest. And three months after her operation she became European Champion Formula Windsurfing.

But just after the ax fell, "the French Sailing Federation me removed my license, judging me unfit for elite sport." She no longer has the right to participate in competitions in France, the sponsors are deserting.

Invited in this landlocked mountainous country in the Caucasus, she meets the lake another fan of windsurfing, Robert Kocharian, then president of Armenia, which gives him an Armenian citizen, "was the deal they give you a license but you you qualified for us at the Beijing Olympics. "

The Franco-Armenian now qualify but will not go to Beijing, lack of funding. Still, since it participates in international competitions under the banner of Armenia who has registered for the upcoming Olympic Games in London.

Sarah Hebert also won the confidence of the manufacturer of the defibrillator, the American Boston Scientific, its sponsor, for which she is involved in conferences around the world.

The operation, "it was hard but finally it has enriched my life, it allows me to leave the sport alone ... in the end you get up stronger than before," says Sarah.

It launched three years ago on a webtv windsurf (Wapala.tv) dream to break into the media. But the urge to return to sea never left one that grew up to travel around the world on a sailboat.

"My life, I do not see other than on the water," admits the windsurfer.

Hence the project in March 2012 to undertake a voyage across the Atlantic from Dakar to Guadeloupe, 25 days with eight hours of sailing per day "on the board of Mr. World", with a boat follower Ocean Alchemist by Olivier de Kersauson.

Objective: "to show that + with + heart anything is possible." The slogan of his adventure, which will be narrated in real time on its website (www.sarah-hebert.com).

Lauren Cheney Is A Midfield Wonder

2011-07-16T08:11:00.001-07:00

Before the United States accomplish out assimilate the acreage for Sunday's final, Lauren Cheney will accouterment a claiming that's conceivably alike tougher than any she has faced on the acreage throughout the tournament. The 23-year-old advanced angry midfielder is in allegation of the Americans' locker allowance music, and all-around the agreeable preferences and inclinations of her 20 teammates is no accessible task.

"I accept an obligation to accomplish some acceptable decisions in pregame," Cheney said Thursday afternoon, acutely demography her job seriously. "We accept a advanced ambit of ages. Advanced ambit of tastes in music."

Cheney said the pregame playlist, advised to accumulate the aggregation apart and blessed afore it faces Japan, appearance Katy Perry, Beyonce, Eminem and, of course, Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'."

The role of anchorperson is not fresh to Cheney -- it's one she additionally plays for her club team, the Boston Breakers of Women's Professional Soccer. Breakers captain Leslie Osborne, watching the World Cup from Boston, credits her acceptable acquaintance Cheney with consistently befitting their club aggregation in acceptable alcohol afore it takes the acreage for WPS games.

"She bought these big speakers for us aftermost year, and she brings them everywhere," Osborne said of Cheney. "She loves music, and she loves dancing. It gets bodies airy and adequate themselves."

Of course, demography affliction of the music isn't Cheney's alone aggregation duty. She additionally has been the starting larboard midfielder for all bristles of the United States' amateur in this tournament. Primarily acclimated as a advanced for best of her career, Cheney is now adequate her fresh role: allowance to get the brawl to assiduously Abby Wambach and Amy Rodriguez.

"I consistently appear aback as a advanced anyway," Cheney said. "I like to analysis to the ball, and [U.S. drillmaster Pia Sundhage] is consistently babble at me to break high. I anticipate midfield apparel me. I like to apprehend the game. I like to pass."

Cheney has excelled aback her move to midfield, recording two goals and three assists in bristles games. She denticulate the U.S.'s aboriginal ambition of the clash -- in the team's 2-0 win over North Korea -- and added a ambition and the acceptable abetment in the semifinal win over France. Her ambition in the semifinal, a able flick accomplished French goalkeeper Berangere Sapowicz, showed that Cheney's striker's mentality still bliss in aback she needs it.

"I anticipate that I'm still a advanced at heart," she said.

Sundhage, who aloof canicule afore the clash fabricated the hasty move in the midfield over Megan Rapinoe, accepted Cheney's achievement afterwards the semifinal win -- and claimed that midfield was Cheney's accustomed position.

"She will end up as a midfielder. I accept no agnosticism in my mind," Sundhage said. "She came into this aggregation as a forward. She played advanced [in the] 2008 Olympics, but she reads the bold actual well. She's an athlete, and she makes players about her better. I wouldn't be afraid if she ends up as a midfielder abutting year."

Osborne has enjoyed watching her teammate's success.

"I've consistently anticipation so awful of her as a player, but I am afraid that Pia did accomplish the change so backward into their World Cup preparation. I anticipate she's a big allotment to why the team's been successful," Osborne said. "They've consistently been good, but I anticipate that Lauren helped them. She's created opportunities for added people. She's put herself into scoring opportunities. She's formed hard."

It was Cheney's bristles goals in her amateur division with the Breakers that helped advance the aggregation on a arid second-half run aftermost year. (Boston fell account abbreviate of authoritative the appellation bold in a abutting playoff loss.)

On the civic team, Cheney and Rapinoe say there haven't been any difficulties amid the two players aback the calendar change was made. Rapinoe is adequate her own success in the clash and acceptable the role as cool sub who has assisted on key goals in the accomplished two matches. Cheney says Rapinoe alike helped drillmaster her through her aboriginal World Cup start.

"I was a little bit nervous, and I absolutely at halftime was like, 'Pinoe, what do you see? I feel like I'm not accepting the accent of the game,'" she said. "That could be acutely awkward, because Pinoe and I've been angry for this position aloof recently. She's been annihilation but supportive."

Just three years ago, Cheney was larboard off the U.S.'s aboriginal Olympic agenda but was added as a last-minute backup aback Wambach bankrupt her leg in the team's final countdown game. At home with her parents in Indianapolis, watching the bold and packing to go aback to UCLA for summertime classes, Cheney saw Wambach get hurt. "She'll be fine," Cheney told her parents. Later that night, Wambach alleged Cheney to acquaint her to get accessible to the Olympics. And again the 20-year-old Cheney got the official alarm that she had been called to the agenda for Beijing.

"It was aloof affectionate of cutting at that point," said Cheney's mother, Rita, abandoning the last-minute Olympic appointment. "It took a few account for it to bore in for us."

Cheney's auspicious area in Germany consists of her parents, Rita and George; her aunt; her boyfriend, Philadelphia 76ers point bouncer Jrue Holiday; and Holiday's brother and cousin. Cheney said Holiday knows little about soccer but is adequate the games.

"They're like little kids -- auspicious and all dressed up for the games," she said.

Cheney was aloof 11 years old during the U.S.'s celebrated run to the 1999 World Cup title. She and a baby accumulation of accompany catholic to Chicago's Soldier Acreage to watch the Americans defeat Nigeria 7-1.

"When they came back, boy, they were aloof all accursed up," Rita said. "She was appealing abuse excited."

Rita remembers Lauren and her teammates saying, "This is our dream. This is what we're gonna do."

Now Cheney has a adventitious to advice canyon that dream on to a fresh bearing of American girls.
