Sport races are all about timing, and the clock plays a crucial role in determining the winner. Accurate timing is essential to measure the performance of athletes and determine their rankings. In the world of sports, precision is everything. Without a reliable clock, it would be impossible to determine the winner and compare results across different races. #TimingMatters #SportRaces #greenraceclock #trackandfield #greenledclock

Dyneema® with you when it matters

Race day is fast approaching, two days and counting. How this week has gone: Monday - Track session went much better than expected. We have lowered the gear on the bike, essentially making it easier to get off the start line. We've struggled to hit top speed on the larger gears in recent weeks and we felt this was the right call. With the gear lowered we were about half a second quicker on the opening lap, which is huge. We don't know what impact this will have on the end of the race, but there's only one way to find out. We will now more than likely be racing on Friday on the same gear we won the 2018 World Championships and Commonwealth Games. Tuesday - Nice soft play morning with Fraser followed by a small gym session at home. All has gone to plan despite having a headache all day. My sinuses have been giving me trouble over the past few weeks, hopefully it clears up for Friday. And so the plan for the next couple of days: Wednesday - I'll be looking after Fraser this morning while Lora trains, then we swap roles and I head to the velodrome for our final track session before race day. Some accelerations more than likely to try and tease out a little more power and ultimately speed. Thursday - A pretty quite day with an easy spin on the bike. Otherwise time with Lora and Fraser getting ready for the day ahead. I'll post again on Friday morning ahead of racing. #raceweek #nationalchampionship #cycling #parasport #earnyourstripes

### Zola Budd vs. Mary Decker: A Collision Course Hey everyone, Remember the 1984 LA Olympics? The 3000-meter race was supposed to be epic with South Africa’s Zola Budd, running for Great Britain, going head-to-head with American champ Mary Decker. But it ended up being a total trainwreck. Here’s the lowdown: 1. **The Hype Train**: This race was billed as a clash of titans—Budd’s barefoot style against Decker’s world-class skills. Too bad it didn’t live up to the hype. 2. **Collision Course**: The two runners kept bumping into each other, and it wasn’t long before Decker hit the deck hard after a clash. She had to be carried off, which was a major bummer. 3. **Budd's Struggle**: Budd, who was visibly shaken by the incident, finished a lackluster 7th. Not exactly the performance everyone was expecting. 4. **Blame Game**: The media had a field day, pointing fingers at both runners. Budd took most of the heat, but an investigation later cleared her of blame. The crash wasn’t her fault after all. 5. **Decker’s Take**: Decker still blames her inexperience in pack running for the mishap. Sometimes it’s just one of those things that happen in sports. So there you have it—the race that was supposed to be a showdown ended up being a fiasco. Sometimes, even the most anticipated events can go sideways. #ZolaBudd #MaryDecker #Olympics1984 #RaceCollision #TrackAndField #SportsDrama #BarefootRunner #OlympicFiasco #RunningDrama

#Sprintracing, often referred to simply as "sprints," involves high-speed, short-distance races in various sports. Here are some common types of sprint racing events across different sports: Athletics 100 meters: The shortest sprint race, typically lasting around 10 seconds for elite athletes. 200 meters: Requires a balance of speed and endurance, often run on a curve. 400 meters: One full lap around the standard outdoor track, combining speed with greater endurance than shorter sprints. Cycling #TrackCyclingSprints: Short-distance races held on a velodrome, including individual sprints, team sprints, and keirin events. #RoadCyclingSprints: Often occur at the end of stages in multi-stage races like the Tour de France, where riders sprint to the finish line. #Motorsports Formula 1 #SprintRaces: Introduced to provide additional excitement and points, these races are shorter than the main Grand Prix. These events are characterized by their high intensity and require athletes to exhibit explosive power, speed, and often a strategic approach to pacing and positioning.

### The 2024 Finn European Championship: High Stakes as Fleet Split Looms As the 2024 Finn European Championship heads into its fifth and sixth races, the competition is heating up with the crucial fleet split on the horizon. After six races, the fleet will divide into **Gold** and **Silver** fleets, with the top sailors in the Gold Fleet battling for the title. With the discard rule allowing each sailor to drop their worst result after Race 5, these next two races are pivotal for the overall standings. Italy’s **Alessandro Marega** leads the fleet with just 7 points after four races, having showcased remarkable consistency. His strategy will focus on staying steady, securing top-5 finishes to ensure he remains at the top. However, France’s **Laurent Haÿ** (9 points) and **Valérian Lebrun** (11 points) are in hot pursuit. The French duo must push hard in the next two races to close the gap and pressure Marega, knowing that after Race 5, they can discard any poor results. In fourth place with 15 points, **Nick Craig** from Great Britain will rely on his tactical experience. With the discard rule in mind, Craig will likely aim for safe finishes in Race 5 before taking more risks in Race 6 to climb up the leaderboard. The mid-fleet battle is intense, with **Filipe Silva** (18 points), **Christoph Burger** (21 points), and **Kristóf Kaiser** (21 points) fighting for spots in the top five. All sailors are balancing the need for consistent results with the pressure of qualifying for the Gold Fleet. As the fleet split approaches, every decision counts. The next two races will determine who stays in the hunt for the title and who gets left behind in the Silver Fleet. --- **Source: High-Performance Regatta Analyser GPT** Well done Christoph Burger!

The 2024 short track and road racing season is underway as the drive to the Paris Olympics is now underway. World Athletics has taken a new ranking approach as they have merged the the short track (formerly indoor track), long track (formerly outdoor track) and road racing into one list with World Athletics integrated ranking points. The following lists include short track results produced in December 2023. Canada has had the good fortune in the last decade to enjoy a gradual increase in both the medal count and top 8 performances at both the Olympic and World Championships. The upcoming Olympics and subsequent World Championships may see some of “The Post Pandemics Generation” who fall into the U23 category move closer to the top 8 spots in Paris. Think of University of Georgia sophomore, Chris Morales-Williams of Toronto who just broke the Canadian record in the short track 300m with his 32.47 performance. This converts very close to the Olympic stand of 45.00 in the 400m. Will Floyd, a freshman at Stanford University recorded 33.14 over the same distance. He set the Canadian U20 record of 45.31 in Langley, BC last summer. Matti Erickson of Nelson, BC started the 2024 season with a personal best of 2:20.96 in the 1000m, following his personal best in 2023 of 1:46.84 in 800m as a sophomore at the University of Oregon. Clearly the challenges of the Covid pandemic affected the development of others like Domenic Barresi of Cornell and Max Davies of the University of Guelph who in this early season rank in Canada’s top twenty list.
