Trivial Tuesday - Horsing Around Did you know… Strap in for a new competitive equestrian sport held in indoor gyms or outdoor arenas. But, in this sport, instead of riding a real horse around, jumping over barriers and doing other horse-y things, grown as$ adults skip around on a hobby horse – you know, a stick with a horse head on it. This sport (and ya'll know I use that term loosely) is called hobby horsing. (We'll take a short break while you go fact check me. That's ok. On the Scale of Unbelievability, this rates a solid WTHuh??? So I'll wait for you.) Ok, now you see that hobby horsing is a thing. And look, I don’t want to be a neighsayer, but this feels like I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole. And crazier yet, this isn't really a "new" sport because as it turns out people have been competitively skipping around on stick horses for over twenty years. 20. Years.    The Olympics kick off Friday, and you may be surprised (maybe not) to learn that hobby horsing was put forward for entry into this year's games, in an attempt to "modernize" the equestrian sport. Not having a horse, as it turns out, is a significant barrier to competing in the equestrian competition at the Olympics. "With a hobbyhorse, the barrier is even lower. Anyone with a stick can conceivably train for the Olympics!"  When asked for comment, horses responded: Haaaaaay! Quit horsing around and leave the professional stuff to us. Happy Tuesday, Jen #Olympics #HobbyHorsingisathing #TrivialTuesday #TT

It's the time of year when trail runners start looking at the events calendar and booking in races (or entering lotteries in some cases) for the upcoming season. This is my 3rd year of competitive trail running, and I got ahead of the game by organising a solid programme taking me from April to September (details of the races below if you're really bored!) I've selected a few "marquee" events like Le Marathon du Mont-Blanc and MCC, part of UTMB® week, plus a selection of new events (for me) in the Haute-Savoie region, including the Trail des Cretes du Brevon, X-Trail Courchevel and the Ultra Trail du Haut Giffre in Sameons. There are also a couple of events where I feel I have unfinished business, particularly the Trail du Tour des Fiz 5 Refuges in which I had a pretty spectacular meltdown in the heat last summer. All the events are between 30km - 70km & 1,700m - 4,100m vertical, so nothing ridiculously long this year. I'm hoping to get my 100km race index in place via the X-Trail, with the current plan to enter the ballot for the UTMB® main race (170km / 10,000m vertical ascent) in 2025 😥 Talking of filling up calendars....... (*cringe*) I noticed that LinkedIn has a new 'Custom Link' feature. I've added my Calendly link in there, so if you want to have a discussion about your Market Intelligence, Competitor Intelligence or Pipeline Generation requirements, please book in some time for a chat (also happy to spend time to discuss all things Trail Running 😁) Check out https://lnkd.in/dTY6zmqQ for services we can provide to our B2B clients.

Olympic Sailing 2024: Shifting Winds and Tight Battles As Medal Race Day Looms for Most https://ift.tt/1iBtvba Penultimate day of Olympic Sailing for the Mixed Multihull and Dinghy fleets lines up tense finals, while Medal Race for Men's and Women's Dinghy cancelled The planned Medal Races for the Women’s and Men’s Dinghy (ILCA 6 and ILCA 7) could not take place due to a lack of wind yesterday, so Wednesday will see four Olympic Sailing events conclude as Medal Racing for these Dinghies takes place in addition to Medal Races for the Olympic Mixed Multihull (Nacra 17) and Olympic Mixed Dinghy (470). Australia’s Matt Wearn, who leads the Men’s Dinghy standings, will have to wait to see if he can secure gold, while Cyprus’ Pavlos Kontides remains his closest challenger. In the Women’s Dinghy, the dominant Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands stands on the brink of becoming the most successful female sailor in Olympic history, with Denmark’s Anne-Marie Rindom poised for silver. For the Mixed Multihull and Mixed Dinghy fleets, the penultimate day of Olympic Sailing in Marseille was marked by light winds and high stakes as competitors completed the final races of the Opening Series. Here’s a roundup of the key events and standings ahead of the decisive Medal Races. Photo: World Sailing / Lloyd Images Mixed Multihull: Tita and Banti Secure Lead Despite Disqualification Italy’s Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti have guaranteed themselves at least a silver medal heading into the Mixed Multihull Medal Race. Despite a disqualification in race ten due to an early start, they bounced back with a strong second-place finish in race eleven, maintaining a 14-point lead. Tita remarked, “There’s not going to be a match race. We are going to try and control the situation based on the points we have. Second, third, and fourth will have a big battle, and we aim to stay out of that and focus on our race.” Argentina’s Mateo Majdalani and Eugenia Bosco sit in second, having delivered a consistent performance with a first and second place in the day’s races. Great Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet, who climbed to third after a race win, are level on points with New Zealand’s Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson. Bosco said, “We had a really good day and we’re really happy. The conditions were tricky and unstable, but we managed well.” Photo: World Sailing / Lloyd Images Mixed Dinghy: Tight Contest Heading into Medal Race Austria’s Lara Vadlau and Lukas Maehr surged to the top of the Mixed Dinghy standings with a fifth and second place in the final races of the Opening Series. They hold a seven-point lead over Spain’s Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman, who remain in second. Japan’s Keiju Okada and Miho Yoshioka are close behind in third. Vadlau emphasised the importance of strategy, “We have to sail smart tomorrow. We have almost no advantage, but we are here to win a medal.” Maehr added, “It’s nice to start with a little bit of a point advantage. We ...

A ver si ahora que viene marcado desde Europa, conseguimos ver como en España, se apoya al 100% esas medidas.

2024 is likely to have the greatest combined prize money in trail running history. Over the holidays both the World Trail Majors and Skyrunning World Series announced their total prize pool for competitors. The World Trail Majors has set their total prize winnings at €47K for the 2024 series. The winnings are spread out across the top 5 positions for men and women, with 1st place receiving €12K and 5th place receiving €1K. This is in addition to any winnings each individual race offers. Additionally, the Skyrunning World Series announced their total pot that is over 4 times larger at €227K across their multiple races. 💶 Grand total - The comparison between race series is made difficult by the different models each is following (e.g. UTMB’s stones system vs WTM’s two race ranking), but according to the announcements of each race series, there is a total €813K in winnings across all major trail running race series. Step back - as the competition for competitors grows and more sponsors begin to commit larger investments, each race series is increasing the size of its prize money in a bid to stay relevant. As trail running begins to attract non-endemic sponsors these prize pools will increase, but to what extent does it benefit the sport?
