Turns out Japanese baseball games are more spirited than those in the states. We saw the Yakult Swallows play the Hanshin Tigers (who are notorious for their rabid fans). The first sign that this is going to be a different experience is that each team shows up with a band to encourage their fans to cheer the team on.
And cheer they do. They have a different song for each player that comes up to bat along with some kind of catchy rhythm that they rap out by tapping little plastic baseball bats together. This may not be the Yankees, but even A-Rod doesn’t have half a stadium cheering him on in perfect unison every time he comes up to bat. Speaking of cheering:
Little umbrellas you ask? This had to be the most unexpected part of the event. Each time the Swallows scored a run (out of seemingly nowhere) all the fans opened up tiny plastic umbrellas bobbed them in the air and sang a little victory song. Not only was the spectacle delightful but the umbrellas fold up and pack out of sight so it was also totally unexpected since I hadn’t noticed anybody (let alone everybody) carrying one. >
And of course I can’t forget the food. You can buy beers from girls with kegs on their backs, or beers with frozen foam. Oh and the snacks are a little different than what you’d find at american baseball games too ;). | sports |

In January the funding agency said the sport had not done enough to prove it could win a medal at the 2016 or 2020 Olympics and would lose its £8.5m backing, prompting a rearguard action that included public petitions and a letter to David Cameron from the British NBA player Luol Deng.
Double Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah and his wife Tania have criticised the Government over school sport funding cuts and called on the coalition to protect the legacy of the Games.
Mrs Farah, who is helping her husband set up the Mo Farah Foundation, said the cuts, six months after London 2012, were a "huge shame" and "counterproductive".
She criticised cuts to sport at grassroots levels, and said more should be done for sport in state schools, particularly at primary level. | sports |

It must be said, this was a tough day at the office for any athlete with an extremely high standard among the 120 who attended over the course of the weekend. While those who made it through to our Academy should be very proud of all they have achieved, equally, those not as fortunate on the day can hold their heads high as this was by no means an easy task.
To date, forty-six athletes have been named for the U15 group and twenty-two for the U13 group, all split into two sub-groups that will train in the region's north or south. Each athlete is also granted an automatic place on their individual County squads as part of the Rhinos' Pathway programme for Yorkshire and the Humber. More places may become available to regional athletes once the season is underway, with the Rhinos programme a fluid one and coaches continually on the look-out for talent.
Pathway Head Coach, Emily Perry, said:
"We were delighted to receive well over 100 nominations through our hubs and County Academies for trials this year. The quality was high and with a limited number of places available, there were some tough decisions for the selectors to make although we are pleased with the results and can see plenty of opportunity for strength and depth throughout the Pathway.
"We're looking forward to working with the players from September and supporting them with developing the skills and attributes for performance netball, through a programme that combines strength and conditioning, skills coaching, match play opportunities and education."
Athletes who were not successful on this occasion who wish to train with the Rhinos from September, and are in age, are encouraged to try out for one of several hubs running across the region. Full details for next season's hub venues, training dates and eligibility will become available over the coming weeks.
Rhinos will also announce details of its U19 and U17 Elite and Futures Academy trials in September in July. | sports |

Russell Bentley, who relocated to Beddgelert from Kent, recorded an impressive time of 2:35:05 seeing off nearest rival Daniel Jones on 2:36:48.
Bentley showed his supremacy in the early miles setting a steady pace on the climb to Pen Y Pass establishing a lead of 40 seconds. Despite pressure from Jones and third placed Rob Bridges in the middle stages, 35 year-old Bentley held his nerve to be the first to cross the finish line and collect the Snowdonia marathon Eryri trophy.
Mr Bentley said: “I am so pleased. But that was tough. It was the toughest race I have ever done! I’m delighted to win and I wasn’t aware that they were closing in on me at the finish. But hey, I’ve done it. It means so much for me to win this race, I live locally and my children are growing up in Wales, learning Welsh, so today I am very, very proud!”
Joanne Nelson was first place for the women clocking a time of 3:03:59 for Darwen Dashers RC.
Nelson showed her fluidity and strength at mile 24 as she stretched her lead to more than one minute as the finish on Llanberis High Street approached.
Racing to the win in a superb new course record of 3:03:59, Nelson was ecstatic as the realisation of her achievement became reality.
She said: “Wow! It’s an amazing feeling to know that I have won this race. After last year I thought I really wanted to come back to try and win it, and I have! Plus I have taken the course record too. It just feels so good. The race is just fantastic, the course, the weather today was brilliant too and the support all the way around is unbelievable.”
Race organiser Jayne Lloyd thanked all those involved as she looked forward to next year’s event.
She said: ““Every year the support gets better on the route, every year I am astounded by how much effort people put in to make it happen, and every year I think that we have the most awesome bunch of runners in the world taking part. Diolch o galon!” | sports |

The course started in the quaint town of Climbing Hill, Iowa and proceeded west to Old Hwy 141, north to D38, east past Bronson to the Moville Blacktop (K64) and back south to Climbing Hill. The race consisted of two or three 22.7 mile laps which ended on a 200 meter climb to the top of 'Climbing Hill' that overlooks the town. You want hills…they got hills—thirteen rollers to be exact! The A-racers made three laps for 68 miles and the B-racers made two laps for 45 miles—challenging for every rider.
I went along for the adventure, not to ride…but to observe my first USA Cycling sanctioned road race. Tez and Rocket were officiating—Tez ,in the commissioner’s car, watching for rules infractions along the route and Rocket marking times and taking numbers at the finish line.
With nearly one hundred registered participants, it was apparent that most of the racers were suffering from the thirteen-rollers and spring-legs-syndrome. Everyone on the course, including those that rolled into the finish line with only a single lap, declaring their “DNF” status, did better than I could have on that beautiful first full day of Spring.
One racer resplendently stands out in my mind, not because of her impressive elapsed time or even her extraordinary riding skills; rather, her relentless fortitude and determination in completing the race. As she approached the finish line, far behind the main group of cyclists, you could tell that she was on the verge of both physical and mental collapse. I had to cheer her on, as did the few remaining spectators and officials. A riding partner, perhaps her spouse or significant other, had returned from beyond the finish line, where he had moments earlier finished himself, and again rode the last 200 meter climb alongside her. As she passed my position on the sidelines, I observed her pallor complexion, shaking legs, erratic respiration and inability to gracefully “unclip” from her pedals. She was totally expended, yet you could sense her reserved personal celebration. She had “achieved the ultimate physical accomplishment.” I could sense her cathartic revelry; I could feel her victorious spirit. | sports |

After 21 years of playing in St. Louis, the Rams are moving back to Los Angeles — and a new stadium will greet them. Slated to open in 2019, HKS's new LA Stadium will be the largest in the NFL (covering three acres) in addition to the home of the Los Angeles Rams.
After thorough research on the site's climate, the architects created a design that adapts to its surrounding environment and provides a pleasant interior venue. The perforated metal skin that wraps around the stadium includes outdoor rooms and plaza spaces — blurring the line between inside and outside. Additionally, an ETFE (transparent roof skin that protects guests from the outside elements) canopy allows for year-round events.
Furthermore, the venue will provide 70,000 fixed seats, with the option to entertain more than 100,000 fans. It will also host the Super Bowl in 2021. | sports |

Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina has partnered with RS Sailing to provide an extensive range of boats and has secured the renowned RYA accreditation to ensure the highest degree of excellence.
“We have invested in these amazing facilities at The JYC Academy because we are committed to the growth of watersports throughout Saudi Arabia. We have built a world class training center in Jeddah that will inspire people new to the sport to come and try it and will provide elite sailors with the best opportunity to develop their competitive skills. We want as many people as possible to enjoy watersports - young and old, newcomers and elite alike - and we have built a center that is inspirational.”
The opening of The JYC Academy comes ahead of the America’s Cup Preliminary Regatta being hosted at Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina in late November. The world’s best sailors and most advanced AC40 “flying” boats will do battle on the Red Sea for the first time in the history of the world’s oldest sporting trophy, which started in 1851.
Adrian Peet, VP of Marine Development at Sela, is enthusiastic about the new opportunities that the Academy’s facilities open up:
“The eyes of the sailing world will be on Saudi Arabia from 29th November to 2nd December. Launching The JYC Academy now, partnering with RS Boats and gaining RYA accreditation will allow us to capitalise on the increased interest and excitement. It will allow us to get more people out on the water and allow us to provide world-class training facilities all year round."
“We are proud to have secured accreditation from the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and to have the largest range of accredited courses in the Kingdom, from RYA Level One up to Yacht Master Theory. The RYA is the gold standard, so our students will benefit from cutting-edge training methods and internationally recognized certification pathways.”
The RS Sailing fleet at The JYC Academy includes RS Zests for those new to the sport, RS Neos and Quests for beginner training, RS Fevas for ambitious youths and kite work, RS Cat 16, and the RS500 to give advanced sailors the thrill of trapezing.
Dan Jaspers, International Business Developer at RS Sailing, expressed his eagerness to support the Kingdom's rapidly expanding sailing scene:
“The team behind The JYC Academy have the same ethos and same objectives that we have at RS Sailing. They are focusing on the development of the sport and on growing the next generation of sailors in Saudi Arabia. Bringing sailing back to a nation that once relied on water for life and trade, and seeing it come full circle, is incredibly exciting for us.”
Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina and The JYC Academy are run by a highly acclaimed team of marine professionals led by Oliver Rees, General Manager; Colin Ralph, Marina Director, and Louise Ralph, JYC Academy Manager. The team has several decades of combined experience working at the best marinas and sailing clubs around the world.
Sela is the company behind Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina and some of the most ambitious lifestyle development projects in Saudi Arabia. Sela has been at the forefront of the drive to grow watersports in Saudi. Sela’s goal is to bring about a sailing renaissance in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
This year the academy has already had over 1400 adults and children participate in a variety of watersports from 2 hour taster sessions to week long sailing camps. | sports |

How often are you replacing your running shoes? Although there are a lot of factors that go into the life of a pair of shoes (running, walking, cardio machines, dance fitness have different impact levels), the rule of thumb is that your shoes will last between 300-500 miles. But don't forget about the general shelf life of the materials, not that shoes are going to fall apart 9 months to the day after construction, but seams and adhesives do deteriorate with time, something to consider when you are buying an older "model" at a discount. Consider this your reminder to give your workout shoes a checkup!
*I tend to run errands before or after a workout, so I always keep an extra pair of shoes in my car, and dedicate my running shoes to workouts only.
*Whenever I buy a new pair of shoes, I set a reminder on my calendar for 5 months to start paying closer attention to how my shoes (and knees, feet & hips) are feeling. Having suffered plantar fasciitis and stress fractures, paying attention to the condition of my shoes has become a priority.
*When shopping for new shoes, bring your old ones to compare...feel them, bend them, squeeze them...you might be shocked! | sports |

Be good. I mean, play good. Play so good that they can't remember what color you were before the season started.” - Hank Aaron
Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron, the Hall of Fame slugger whose 755 career home runs long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86.
Aaron dominated baseball at a time when part of the nation still upheld Jim Crow, a system of racial apartheid in the American South. He held the most celebrated record in sports for more than 30 years.
Throughout his career, known as “Hammerin’ Hank”, Aaron experienced hate on and off the field for the simple fact that he was an African American.
Despite this and many other obstacles, Aaron endured and on April 8, 1974, before a sellout crowd at Atlanta Stadium and a national television audience, Aaron broke Ruth’s home run record with No. 715 off Al Downing of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"Though he had come to the game seven years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, Aaron was in the first wave of new Black stars, many of them from the Deep South. Like Aaron, Mays, Willie McCovey and Billy Williams all came from Alabama and all broke into the majors in the 1950s. Only Aaron would stay in the South."
Right up to his final days, the Hammer was making a difference.
Just 2 1/2 weeks before his death Friday at age 86, Aaron joined civil rights icons to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. He wanted to spread the word to the Black community that the shots were safe in the midst of a devastating pandemic.
“I feel quite proud of myself for doing something like this,” Aaron said. “It’s just a small thing that can help zillions of people in this country.”
Aaron was born in 1934 and grew up in and around Mobile, Alabama.
Aaron's mother would summon him from the baseball field to come home and hide under the bed because the Ku Klux Klan was riding through the neighborhood, Young said. But he was never deterred, going right back outside to finish playing when the Klan left.
Inspired by his idol Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play Major League Baseball in the modern era, Aaron completed brief stints in the Negro American League and the minor leagues before his success ultimately landed him in his first major league game with the Milwaukee Braves in 1954.
Over the next two decades, he would cement his status as a baseball icon. He was named MVP, received several Gold Glove awards, broke numerous records and led the Braves to win the World Series in 1957.
The hate that came his way only motivated Aaron to work harder toward his goal.
Aaron ended his legendary playing career in 1976 with a total of 755 home runs.
Aaron was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982 his first year of eligibility and just nine votes short of being a unanimous choice.
In 1999, baseball began honouring its top hitter with the Hank Aaron Award, akin to the Cy Young for pitchers.
"Retiring as the last Major League player to have played in the Negro Leagues, Aaron's career can be seen as a symbolic bridge from the dark days of segregation to an era of greater opportunity," National Urban League President and CEO Marc H. Morial said in a statement.
Aaron continued to speak out against racism in the sport after retirement, remaining engaged in community advocacy and the fight for civil rights.
Aaron served on the NAACP board and also founded the Chasing the Dream Foundation, which funded programs that helped underserved youth develop their talents and pursue their dreams.
In 2002, Aaron was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his humanitarian efforts. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund presented him with the Thurgood Marshall Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and established the Hank Aaron Humanitarian in Sports Award in his honor.
"I would hope athletes from all sports will look at his legacy as an example of how to use their platforms for social good and to advance the causes of civil rights," - NAACP President Derrick Johnson
Aaron still has more RBIs (2,297), extra-base hits (1,477) and total bases (6,856) than anyone in baseball history. He ranks second in at-bats (12,354), third in games played (3,298) and hits (3,771), and fourth in runs scored (tied with Ruth at 2,174). | sports |

Fort Collins, Colorado, Aug. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- No Barriers and Paradox Sports announced today the 2019 Grand Teton Expedition team. The two area nonprofits are both dedicated to helping make outdoor adventure more accessible for people with disabilities, teaming up to host adaptive expeditions featuring veteran athletes for the second year in a row. The team will be led by Exum Mountain Guides up the 5,000-foot approach to the Exum Hut, which provides unparalleled views of Idaho and Wyoming. Participation for this program is free for participants thanks to a generous anonymous donor.
Nate Gilette, the No Barriers Warriors Program Manager says of the experience, “This expedition is a perfect vessel to show people how to live a No Barriers Life. From the Vision of conquering adversity and summiting the Grand Teton, to working together to keep each other safe on an actual Rope Team—their outcome will hinge on the team’s ability to prove that what’s within them is stronger than what’s in their way!”
No Barriers, a nonprofit based in Fort Collins, Colorado, focuses on empowering people to break through barriers, find their inner purpose, and contribute their best to the world. Through transformative experiences, tools, and inspiration, No Barriers helps people embark on a quest to fully unleash the potential of the human spirit.

“This partnership is a great opportunity for both organizations to fulfill their missions, respectively, and more importantly to serve the men and women of the military. The program is focused on climbing, but the transformative power of the overall experience is amazing. These veterans are learning new technical skills, but are also testing themselves, pushing their limits and building relationships that transcend the trip,” said Dave Elmore, Interim Executive Director of Paradox Sports.

https://betpuan.bet/what-does-4-5-mean-in-betting/ | 2024-04-15T16:53:04 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817002.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240415142720-20240415172720-00317.warc.gz | 0.953043 | 2,994 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__189171728 | en | What Does 4.5 Mean In Betting?
In the betting world, “4.5” typically refers to the half-goal handicap or spread. This implies that one team participating in a game or event gets an approximate half-goal advantage or disadvantage before the match commences.
Most of the time, the half-goal handicap is employed to reduce the chance of a tie or draw and force bettors to pick between two choices: the team with the best odds to win or the team predicted to lose. The team that has a +4.5 handicap is often referred to as the underdog. The team that has a 4.5 handicap is considered the favorite.
If you choose to bet on a team that has a -4.5 handicap, that is, they must score more than five goals for your bet to succeed, In this scenario, winning by less than four goals will be considered losing. In contrast, when you bet on a team that has a +4.5 handicap, they will either win, draw, or lose by fewer than four goals to win your bet.
It’s crucial to understand that the half-goal handicap is only one of the handicaps that can be used for betting, and the exact rules and odds that go with it can differ depending on the betting or sportsbook platform you choose. It’s a good idea to be aware of the specific rules and conditions for the bet you’re making and to become familiar with the betting terms used for your betting platform.
What Do You Think Of 4.5 To Bet?
Here’s a more in-depth definition of exactly what “4.5” means in betting:
In the field of betting on sports, the handicapping method is used to even the playing field between two teams with different capabilities. The handicap is allocated to each team as goals, points, or some other type of unit based on the game. The aim is to provide better odds and betting choices.
If the handicap is written as “4.5,” it is a ‘half-goal’ handicap. That means half of a goal can be subtracted or added to the score of the particular team after the game to determine the result of the betting.
Positive Handicap (+4.5)
If you spot the team with a “+4.5” handicap, it indicates they are underdogs. Then, half an extra goal is added to the final score. To make a bet successful, this team can have three possible outcomes:
- Win: When the winning team is in the game or the game is drawing, then the wager will be successful.
- A loss of fewer than five goals: Even if you lose the game, the bet has been taken home as long as the margin of loss is not more than five goals.
Negative Handicap (-4.5)
If a team is handicapped with a “-4.5” handicap, they are considered favorites, and half of a goal is deducted from their score. If this is true, there are two possible outcomes that could result:
- Win by five goals or more: For the bet to succeed, the team must beat the opponent by five goals or more.
- Any Other Result: When the side loses by less than five goals, fails to win in the match, or is drawn, the bet is forfeited.
Let’s say there’s a soccer game between Teams A and B. If you place your bet on Team A using an -4.5 handicap and they win the match by 3-0, after subtracting the handicap for half-goals, the adjusted score will be 2.5-0. It’s still a win with more than four goals, and the bet will succeed.
However, it is the case that if you bet Team B with an +4.5 handicap and they lose the match by a score of 2-1 after adding the half-goal handicap, the resulting score is 2.5-1. This means that a margin of less than five goals defeated Team B, and your bet will still be placed.
It’s crucial to be aware that the rules and consequences related to handicaps could differ depending on the sport you play and the betting platform you choose to use. Always check the specific conditions and terms of the bet you’re placing to ensure you know how handicaps will be used.
What Does The Term Over 4.5 Translate To?
In 1xBet and a variety of other betting platforms for sports, “over 4.5” refers to a betting market based on the total amount of points or goals scored during a specific event. Here’s a full description of what “over 4.5” means:
Total Goals/Points Betting
Betting on total goals or points is a well-known method that lets you predict if the total scores of a match or event will exceed or fall below a certain amount set at the discretion of a sportsbook.
“Over 4.5” Bet
If you see the option to bet “Over 4.5” in 1xBet the game, you’re betting on the number of goals or points in a particular event to be greater than 4.5. “.5” is used to ensure a non-push or tie result, meaning there are only two outcomes: either over or below the stated number.
If you decide to place your bets with “Over 4.5,” there are two possibilities for outcomes:
- Over 4.5 points or goals: To win, the sum of the goals or points scored by both teams must be at least five. It doesn’t matter who scored the goals or how many points are accrued; as long as the total exceeds 4.5, your bet is successful.
- Below 4.5 Points or Goals: The bet is forfeited when the sum of goals or points accumulated in the game is less than four. This is the case even if no goals or points are scored or when the total is exactly four.
Let’s look at a soccer match with Team A versus Team B. If you bet “over 4.5” goals and the final score is 3-3, the total number of goals will be five, which is more than 4.5. In this scenario, the bet will be successful.
If, for instance, it is the case that your final score is 2-1 with a total of 3 goals, your bet will be lost since the total is lower than 4.5.
Knowing the rules and results associated with “over 4” is important. “Over 4.5” markets may differ based on the sport and the book you’re betting on. Always check these terms and conditions, as well as the specific rules offered through 1xBet, to ensure you understand how the market is determined and regulated.
What’s In The Lower 4.5 Goals?
“Under 4.5 goals” is an online betting market focused on the number of goals scored during an event. This is a thorough description of what “under 4.5 goals” means:
Total Goal Betting
Betting on total goals is a well-known method of betting that lets you determine whether the score of a game or other event is greater than or below a certain number determined in the betting book.
“Under 4.5 Goals” Bet
When you find the option “Under 4.5 goals” in the context of betting, that means you’re betting on the total amount of goals scored in an event below 4.5. “.5” is included to prevent a push or tie and “.5” to ensure a non-push or tie result, which means there are only two outcomes: either over or below the amount stated.
If you decide to place your bets in the direction of “under 4.5 goals,” there are two outcomes to consider:
- Under 4.5 goals: To win the bet, the sum of the goals that both teams score must be at least four. It doesn’t matter who is scoring goals or how goals are distributed. As the combined total is less than 4.5 and your bet is successful.
- More than 4.5 goals: The bet is deemed lost if the sum of all goals scored during the event surpasses five or more. This applies to situations where the total is 4.5 or greater.
Let’s look at a soccer game with Team A and Team B. If you wager on “under 4.5 goals” and the final score is 2-1, then the total number of goals is 3, which is less than 4.5. If this happens, your bet will be an eventual winner.
In the other case, if it is the case that 3-2 prevails, which results in a 5-goal bet, the bet will be lost as the sum surpasses 4.5.
It’s crucial to remember that the rules and outcomes of “under 4.5 goals” markets are not the same. “Under 4.5 Goals” markets can differ based on the sport and betting platform you’re betting on. Be sure to read the conditions and terms of the bet and the specific rules set out by the betting site to ensure you know how the market is regulated and defined.
What Exactly Do 4.5 Corners Refer To?
“4.5 corners” is a betting market that concentrates on the number of corners awarded during a specific occasion, like soccer games. This article will provide a comprehensive description of what “4.5 corners” means:
Corners betting is one type where you can estimate the total number of corner kicks awarded in a game. Corner kicks are given when the ball reaches the goal line after being struck by a defending player, which results in a restart of the arc that forms the corner.
“4.5 Corners” Bet
If you see the option of “4.5 corners” in a betting context, you are gambling on the entire number of corners granted during a particular occasion to be more than or below 4.5. “.5” is included to prevent a tie or push outcome and ensures that the two possible outcomes over or below the stated number.
If you decide to place your bets with “Over 4.5 corners,” there are two possible outcomes:
- 4.5 Corners: To win this bet, the number of corners granted during the game must be at least five. That means the number of corners must reach a minimum of five to succeed.
- Below 4.5 corners: The bet will be lost if the overall number of corners credited is less than four. This is the case even if the total number of corners is 4.5 or less.
Let’s look at a soccer game involving Team A and Team B. If you bet “over 4.5 corners” and six corners are handed out throughout the game, your bet succeeds. However, if just three corners are awarded throughout the game, your wager is lost because the total is less than 4.5.
It is important to remember that the exact rules and outcomes of the “4.5 corners” market may differ depending on the book and betting site you’re playing with. Be sure to read the conditions and terms of the bet and the specific rules offered by the site to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of how the market is determined and settled.
What does “4.5” represent in decimal odds?
In decimal odds, “4.5” represents the potential payout a bettor can receive for every unit staked. For example, if you bet $10 at odds of 4.5, your potential winnings would be $10 multiplied by 4.5, equaling $45. This includes both your initial stake and the profit you would make if the bet wins.
How does “4.5” translate to fractional odds?
In fractional odds, “4.5” can be expressed as 9/2. This means that for every 2 units you stake, you would potentially win 9 units. Again, this includes both the stake and the profit.
What does it mean if the odds are “4.5”?
When the odds are 4.5, it suggests that the outcome being bet on is less likely to occur compared to lower odds. It implies that the sportsbook or bookmaker sees a lower probability of that outcome happening and therefore offers higher potential returns to bettors if it does occur.
Is “4.5” a favorable or unfavorable odds value?
Whether “4.5” is considered favorable or unfavorable depends on the specific context and the bettor’s perspective. Higher odds generally indicate a higher risk and a lower probability of winning. However, they also offer greater potential profits if the bet turns out successful. It ultimately depends on the bettor’s assessment of the event and their risk appetite.
Can “4.5” be used in other betting formats?
Yes, “4.5” can be used in other odds formats, such as American odds. In American odds, “4.5” is typically written as +350, indicating that a $100 bet would yield a potential profit of $350 if the bet wins.
Are there any variations of “4.5” in betting?
Yes, variations of “4.5” exist in betting. For instance, you might come across odds like 4.50 or 4 1/2. While the exact representation may differ, they generally convey the same concept and offer a similar potential payout for a winning bet. | sports |

Wesleyan College has honored 64 former athletes, administrators, and coaches by enshrining them in its Hall of Fame. These individuals have created a higher standard for Bishop athletics and were selected based on their outstanding accomplishments. This year’s class meets these same standards and will comprise the 18th group of honorees. The North Carolina Wesleyan Department of Athletics is pleased to announce that the 1999 National Champion Baseball Team, along with veteran coaches Charlie Long and Ernie Jones, have been chosen to comprise its 2016 Hall of Fame class.
The 1999 Battling Bishop Baseball Team secured the program’s second Division III National Championship with a thrilling 1-0 win over St. Thomas on June 1, 1999 in Salem, Virginia. The victory remains the only 1-0 championship win in the history of Division III baseball.
Making their 11th overall and 3rd straight World Series appearance, the Bishops put together the most successful NCAA tournament run in school history by winning eight straight games to clinch the title. NCWC opened with wins over Brandeis and Cal-Lutheran, while game three saw NCWC face off against St. Thomas for a chance to play for the title.
St. Thomas jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but Wesleyan’s bats exploded in the bottom of the fifth with six hits in a row to cut the lead to 5-4. Closer Buddy Hernandez entered the game in the bottom of the seventh with runners on second and third with no outs. Hernandez forced a short popup to center, and after an intentional walk to load the bases, he reached back to strike out the next two batters.
The momentum carried over as Jeremy Stewart homered in the bottom of the seventh to complete the comeback. The game remained tied at 5-5 until the bottom of the tenth when Stewart singled and moved to second on a David Capobianco sac-bunt. Barry Blake was intentionally walked to set the stage for Nick Buonocore, whose RBI-single to right scored Stewart and advanced NCWC to the title game.
Wesleyan would again meet St. Thomas the championship. The Bishops scored what turned out to be the lone run of the game in the top of the first. Scott Robeson’s leadoff single was followed by an Andy Jones sac-bunt, and Stewart promptly drove him home with a single up the middle. In an outstanding performance, hurler Sean Fleming made the lone run hold up by allowing just four hits.
In the bottom of the ninth with Hernandez on the mound, St. Thomas loaded the bases with one out. Hernandez proceeded to throw the biggest pitch of his career… a sharp curve that was grounded to Stewart, who started the 5-4-3 double play that ended the game and gave North Carolina Wesleyan its second National Championship and a remarkable 42-9 overall record. The Bishops had previously captured the crown in 1989, with the ’89 team garnering Hall of Fame induction in 2006. With national titles earned exactly ten years apart, it is now fitting that the ’99 team’s induction follows suit a decade later. The entire 1999 North Carolina Wesleyan Battling Bishop baseball roster follows:
David Capobianco Ryan Cramer Jim Faraci Russ Fink Sean Fleming
Buddy Hernandez Chris Johnson Daniel Johnson Andy Jones Steve Kadlick
Jon Markle Jason Maurer Andrew McFarland Kevin McNeil James Pitney
Jon Rardin Scott Robeson Dan Salay Brett Schultz Jayson Sigley
Jed Snead Jeremy Stewart Carl Wheeless Mike Wilchinski Taylor Williams
Brian Woolston Tim Wright Joel Yednock Head Coach Charlie Long Assistant Coach Ernie Jones Assistant Coach Jerry Edwards
Wesleyan’s second 2016 inductee is the head coach of its storied 1999 team, Charlie Long, who recently completed his 25th year with the N.C. Wesleyan Department of Athletics. Entering his 20th season as head baseball coach, Long has racked up 429 career wins, second only to inaugural Hall of Famer Mike Fox.
In the fall of 1991, Long joined the Bishops’ staff as head volleyball coach while serving as the school’s first full-time assistant baseball coach. In 1995, he functioned as the Bishops’ interim head coach and led Wesleyan to the Conference Championship, making it to the title game of the South Regional.
Long took over as full-time head coach for the Bishops in 1999. That championship season saw him named both the Dixie Conference and South Region Coach of the Year, as well as the North Carolina College Coach of the Year and American Baseball Coaches Association National Coach of the Year. Seven years later in 2006, the veteran skipper again earned South Region Coach of the Year honors after leading NCWC to its 12th World Series appearance. The Bishops, who received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament after winning the USA South Tournament, hosted and won the South Regional crown.
The 2009 and 2010 seasons saw Long earn USA South Coach of the Year honors for the second and third times of his career after leading NCWC to back-to-back USA South Regular Season crowns, bringing the program’s all-time total to 17. Wesleyan also secured its 6th Conference Tournament Title in 2009, as well as the program’s 21st appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Overall, Long has captured five USA South (formerly Dixie) Conference Championships, while leading Wesleyan to a 16-9 overall record in NCAA Tournament play. He has also guided four players to All-American honors, while several have gone on to play at the professional level.
The Bishops’ final 2016 inductee, Ernie Jones, served 17 seasons with the North Carolina Wesleyan College baseball program and made his mark as the longest-tenured assistant coach in NCWC history. His #8 jersey, in fact, was retired in the fall of 2015.
Jones transferred to Wesleyan in the fall of 1991 to continue his collegiate playing career with the Bishops. His two-year tenure saw the area native play in two South Regional championships and one College World Series. A first team All-Conference performer at shortstop, he is regarded as one of the best defensive players in program history, turning in an impressive .961 fielding percentage during his career.
A 1993 Wesleyan graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education, Jones made a full-time return to his alma mater in 1999 as assistant to Long, setting the stage for the team’s historic national championship run… a feat that he helped accomplish alongside his brother, Andy, who anchored second base for NCWC.
Jones teamed with Long for 16 more seasons and was a part of over 400 victories. As both a player and coach, he helped NCWC capture ten conference regular season and/or tournament championships, six NCAA Tournament berths, three regional championships, a trio of World Series appearances, and of course, the 1999 Division III National Championship.
The Department of Athletics extends sincere congratulations to each of the 2016 inductees, whose contributions to the overall mission of the college have been exhibited in their accomplishments. To these inductees, the Battling Bishops offer thanks and admiration by bestowing this honor upon them!
An official induction ceremony is will take place the evening of October 15th as part of North Carolina Wesleyan’s 2016 Homecoming festivities. | sports |

https://fedewenzelski.com/advanced-skiing-10-key-tips-to-help-you-achieve-higher-edge-angles/ | 2023-03-25T01:05:38 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945292.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20230325002113-20230325032113-00787.warc.gz | 0.940133 | 9,977 | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-14__0__38801110 | en | Disclaimer: these tips are mainly for on-piste advanced carving skiing. But I honestly think that the best skiers are the most complete ones. I strongly agree with the following:
“The best skiers are the all-around skiers… The guys that are able to rip in the park, rip in the woods, rip powder, rip everything. They are just very good natural skiers”. Paul Epstein – Global Racing Private Ski Team Head Coach
One of the things that expert skiers have in common is that they can create supreme edge angles in the turn (like you see in the World Cup!). Why they would do that? In short, to make the shortest radius carved turn possible. In a carved turn, the more edge angle you produce, the more the ski will bend, and the shorter the radius of the turn will be. Edge angle is the most important factor to determine how much a ski will bend. The load is secondary, and it is created mainly by the skier’s natural weight balancing on the ski. The amount of load depends primarily on the skier’s speed. advanced skiing
But first things first. What is edging? Edging is the ability to tip the ski on edge and adjust the angle between the base of the ski and the snow. In common words, it is tipping and un-tipping the skis. We edge the skis either to turn or to slow down (or both). Most recreational skiers change direction and slow down at the same time (skidded turns), but racers typically change direction without slowing down (carved turns). In a carved turn, the tail of the ski follows the tip in the exact path/groove.
When tipped on edge, the ski bends because of its “hourglass” shape. If you take one ski, lay it over flat, and then tip it, you’ll see that only the tips and tails touch the ground/snow, and the middle part of the ski is “in the air”. With the skier’s weight, the ski bends until the middle part touches the snow too. The higher the edge angle, the higher the amount of ski bending, and the tighter the turn radius.advanced skiing
Generating amazing angles correctly is about keeping always our balance over the outside ski during the turn. Balancing predominantly over the outside ski is the most efficient and stable way to turn. As an example, and to illustrate it, when we are running and want to change direction suddenly, we always lean on the outside leg to change direction.
It is important to note that, in order to generate outside ski pressure, we have to think in terms of BALANCE. We should balance mainly on the outside ski indirectly, that is by unweighting the inside ski. So we don’t push or step with the outside leg, we just balance on it, by flexing/unweighting the inside one.
The five most important elements for achieving that “full range carving turns” correctly (in my humble opinion) are:
1) High speed (and/or steep slopes)
To turn with huge edge angles while keeping balance over the outside ski, high speed (or a steep pitch) is mandatory. We need the strong G-forces (tangential inertia, actually) generated by the high speed that move our balance out, to the outside ski. If you don’t have enough speed, and try to generate those big angles, you will end up with your balance over the inside ski… not good… so practice in a well-groomed not too crowded intermediate run where you feel comfortable with, so you can generate speed safely. advanced skiing
2) Hip-width stance
The stance (how wide the feet are apart) should be “hip-wide”. It is very important not to widen your stance width more than that. During a turn, the skis should have vertical separation, not horizontal… Horizontal separation is how wide the feet are apart. In a good athletic stance on skis, the distance your feet are apart should be no different than that when you’re standing, walking, running, or standing on your skis on a flat hill.
The vertical separation of your feet is the distance in height, one foot to the other. While skiing, vertical separation of the feet is constantly changing and is directly related to edge angles that are developed. Vertical separation is usually the greatest at or just after the apex of a turn when a skier is resisting the combined forces of gravity and centrifugal force. It’s at its least during the transition phase between turns.
A horizontal stance that is too narrow will limit balance, foot independence, and use of the inside ski. A horizontal stance that is too wide will cause a balance shift onto the inside foot and limit inclination.d s
When you shorten your inside leg, you move the skis away from each other, but at a vertical distance. If you make the mistake of separating your skis horizontally (“widen the stance”) and then crouch down to get the angles, you will end up having your balance over your inside ski, and that’s not good at all… in this situation, the inside ski will be right under you and your center of mass also known as the core of the body (which generally lies between the navel and the spine). Also, you will have not parallel shins, with quite less edge angle in the inside ski compared to the outside one. (A.K.A. “A-frame”…) Just to clarify, the outside ski is the ski farthest from the center of the turn. Conversely, the inside ski is the ski closest to the center of the turn.
In addition, the “hip width” stance is the one that allows for faster and simultaneous feet rolling and edge changing during transition.
3) Strong inside inclination / “toppling” at the beginning of the turn
One of the key aspects, in order to get huge angles, is to really “throw” yourself to the inside, at the very beginning of the turn, by extending/pushing with the outside leg. Or in other words, let yourself fall to the inside of the turn by the means of gravity (“toppling“). Toppling at the beginning of the turn means allowing gravity to make us fall to the inside of the turn to get easy and early edges engagement. This way we create ski angles fast, and we move the base of support (the skis) away from our center of mass, in order to allow us to generate an upcoming very high edge angle on the skis. It will be followed by upper body angulation to keep our balance on the outside ski as we progress in the turn. We need to move the skis out and away from our body, in order to develop big edge angles.
This strong and on-purpose movement to the inside needs to be learned, and somewhat feels like moving into an unbalanced lateral position, but believe me, it is really important in order to produce the highest edge angles, later on in the turn.
We can clearly see it in the picture below of “Mr. GS” Ted Ligety:
We need to move the skis out and away from our body, in order to develop big edge angles.
As Ted Ligety himself talked about it in an Instagram Live with Jonny Mosely: “One of the most common novice questions people ask me is regarding how much weight on each ski… And I never think about it but it’s pretty much 100% on the outside foot. The inside foot is kind of just dragging in there. On the flats might be 80/20 because you’re pumping the turns. But you’re never thinking what the percentage is. It is over the outside ski where you want to be!
Jonny Moseley says mogul skiing is just the same, 100% from outside ski to outside ski.
“One of the most common novice questions people ask me is regarding how much weight on each ski… And I never think about it but it’s pretty much 100% on the outside foot. But you’re never thinking what the percentage is. It is over the outside ski where you want to be!“
4) Flexing or shortening of the inside leg/knee
To accomplish those great angles, the key is to shorten/collapse the inside leg by flexing the inside knee, while you are moving to the inside of the turn. Flexing the inside leg drags the hips both down and in. That’s the holy grail, flexing the inside knee deeply (bend it a lot). The more you shorten the inside leg, the more you’re going to “fall” or move to the inside of the turn and the more edge angle you’ll be creating. This “falling to the inside” happens naturally and passively by shortening the inside leg, we don’t push our body at all. It’s like a “free fall” of the body to the inside of the turn. In order to move our center of mass further inside the turn and achieve those angles, we have to deeply flex the inside leg in order to “get it out of the way” as well. If we don’t do that, the inside leg blocks the ability to move further inside.
The highest edge angle is achieved when you have (briefly) your inside hip touching or rubbing the snow. That happens at or after the fall line. This movement of progressively moving to the inside of the turn by shortening the inside leg is similar to what happens if you cut and shorten one leg of a standing ladder. The whole ladder is going to tip/move to that side…
Again, flexing the inside leg throughout the turn in a relatively narrow stance, generates a vertical separation of the skis (not horizontal, so please do not separate your legs). Take a look at the picture below of Ted Ligety (credits to Ron LeMaster). We can note that limbs are close together…
In ski racing nothing happens because it looks good, it’s all about performance…
Skiing is about balancing on one leg, the outside one. That’s the more efficient way of turning. Regarding ski pressure, the inside leg is light and somehow “comes along for the ride”.
Let’s imagine that we are running straight down a flat, empty street and we want to turn or change direction quickly to avoid an obstacle. Which leg do we lean (or balance on) to do it? Right, on the opposite leg to the side we want to go. Or what is the same, on the external leg. That is the most stable and efficient way to change direction. In skiing, it’s just the same.
In addition, it is simply way harder to balance on the outside of your foot (that is balancing over the inside ski) than on the inside of your foot (that is balancing over the outside ski).
In case there are any doubts, let’s look at the image below:
Stefan Rogentin of the Swiss Ski Team arching that outside ski… Look at the flexing pattern, deeply flexed on the shovel, and straighter in the tail of the ski. The majority of the skis are designed to behave like that (softer shovel, harder tail) to facilitate turn initiation.
As well as flexing, the inside leg must tip to the inside of the turn to get the edge angles. The inside ski tipping leads the tipping of the outside ski (and not the other way around!). If you try to tip the skis with the outside ski first, you get the “A-Frame” problem mentioned above, because the inside leg does not follow the outside one. So in order to have similar edge angles on both skis, it is key to have parallel shins. Take a look at Allie Resnick from the US Ski Team demonstrating this beautiful SL turn. Note the similar edge angles on both skis:
Regarding leg activity, in high-level skiing, we focus (or pay attention) more on the inside leg work, than the outside one. While skiing down the slope, we focus mainly on flexing and tipping the inside leg, and that’s how we, indirectly (and almost automatically), get angles and pressure on the outside ski. While skiing, the inside leg is much more active than the outside. Speaking in terms of balance, to go from outside foot to outside foot during the turns, we have to work mainly with each inside leg. So high-level skiing is all about inside leg active performance. advanced skiing
The focus is on the inside half of the body that creates the major movements. This way gives you perfect balance on the outside ski, which is still the dominant balancing foot.
The outside leg is the dominant regarding balance/weight, but not in terms of movement. In skiing, the inside leg does much more active work than the outside one.
Key aspect: In the first third of the turn we move our whole body to the inside, called “inclination” to create edge angles early. This early inclination starts from tipping the feet, ankles, and knees to the inside, and not from the hips! See “park and ride” below…d skiing
“In skiing everything starts from the ground up, from the feet up…”
5) Upper body angulation
Angulation happens mostly in the second part of the turn and involves making angles with the body, created primarily at the hip. In high-level skiing, we need to move the upper body to the outside of the turn, strongly. The more you do this, the more outside ski pressure you’re going to get This is another key aspect. It helps to try to “lift” the inside shoulder up, or even better, try to “lift” the inside hip up (AKA “hip hike“). When you see an advanced skier, it seems that the torso stays “still” from one turn to the other, since the upper body does not appear to move. This can confuse the observer, as it is actually quite the opposite. To generate upper body angulation, you need to actively move your torso to the side, to the outside of the turn. The more you tip your skis inside, the more you have to side crunch with your torso (bring the ribs to the hips). It is crucial to train and strengthen those muscles involved, in the gym.
In the snow, practice it by exaggerating (a whole lot) the exercises that improve that skill specifically. There are a lot, but the “Scholpy Drill” is one of the best. Erik Schlopy former Olympian and actual U.S. Ski Team Coach. advanced skiing
To help develop upper body angulation, you need to counter-rotate with your torso as well. Turn/rotate your torso opposite to the direction of the skis. This allows for better edge hold and greater upper body angulation angles. Start the counter as soon as you start the turn. You’ll note that upper body angulation will be easier to perform. In fact, upper body angulation and counter go always in tandem.dvanced skiing
That being said, it is important to differentiate that short or Slalom turns require a lot of counter-rotation (upper-body always stable facing the valley), but long or Giant Slalom turns require less counter-rotation. advanced skiing
Counter-rotation of the upper body was first developed by the Austrian instructors in the 1930s, as opposed to the “French” school that, at that time, used the rotation of the whole body as a unit or block. This French technique involved starting with a slow counter-rotation of the upper body (as a sort of a wind-up) and followed by a quick rotation of the whole body into the turn. By the way, this technique described in the written ski teaching manual “Ski Français” by Emile Allais in 1936, involved teaching beginner skiers to ski parallel without the use of wedge or stem christie turns.
So in high-level skiing, we look for “UPPER-LOWER BODY SEPARATION“: the legs and feet are tipping and turning one way and the upper body is tipping and turning the other way, for a complete separation (lateral separation + rotational separation).
Key concept: It is very important to note that angulation happens mostly in the second half of the turn, and always after some amount of inclination that needs to happen at the beginning. If we start the turn already “angulated”, we block our hips and limit the amount of edge angle generated, creating the famous and not good “park and ride” style (see at the end of this post).
Take a look at this next image, an excellent photo montage of Ted Ligety on a GS turn. We can see the strong inclination (whole body tipping in) in the first two frames. After that, upper body angulation starts and gets really extreme towards the end of the turn (last frame), as Ted Ligety (AKA “Mr. GS“) has us used to see in his beautiful skiing… This is actually the front cover of one of the best ski technique books ever written. I strongly recommend all passionate skiers to read it. Thanks Ron LeMaster for this masterpiece!!!
In the next picture, Jett Seymour from the US Ski Team is showing extreme counter-rotation of the upper body or typically referred to as just “counter”. Note how the upper body is pointed in a different direction than the legs. advanced skiing
6) Fore-aft aspect
In order to start a turn effectively, we need to move our Center of Mass forward to bend or balance over the shovel of the skis. We must start the turn by engaging the tip of the ski, so we look for “getting to the front of the ski” at the initiation.
That’s key in order to be centered when we arrive to the most important part of the turn: the loading phase. The loading phase is when we apply almost all the pressure and the major ski deflection occurs. In the modern slalom technique (SL turns), the pressure or loading phase is short and abrupt, and it happens all at once at the fall line (i.e. the middle or apex of the turn).
It’s absolutely OK to be in the backseat at transition and initiation, but it is mandatory to move our center of mass forward in order to be centered when we load/pressure the skis (at the fall-line).
Skiing, unlike the majority of sports, is a super counterintuitive activity and you have to work against basic instincts (like self-preservation) to get better at it. In order to get pressure on the front part of the ski (shovel) and successfully initiate a turn, we need to move our Center of Mass forward at the beginning (“high C”) of the turn. This means, for example in the steeps, to “face the danger” and “dive into the abyss”. Leaning downhill goes against all common sense. That’s counterintuitive, but mandatory for good skiing.
So, CONTROL is all about good turn initiation, which is achieved by counter-intuitive movements. Good turn initiation means achieving a “capital C” letter turn shape. Good round turns directly relate to speed control.
If we happen to be in the backseat, and unable to load the shovel at the start of the turn, we end up with Z-shaped turns, with poor speed control. In this wrong type of turn, we do all the edging and pressure all at once and late in the turn. Snow spraying off the skis is directly downhill, and the line of descent is straight down the fall line with almost no lateral offset of the skier. That’s why we look to pressure our shins against the tongue of the boots. But that’s only at the beginning of the turn.
In skiing, fore-aft balance is dynamic, not static. It is in a constant cycle. In normal high-level skiing, skiers always go from being back at the end of one turn to being forward at initiation of the next turn. Again, the key is being centered at the fall-line.
As Mikaela Shiffrin on an interview (here) said: “The key for fore-aft balance, for me, is to try not to stay in one position. Because skiing is such a fluid sport, you’re always moving. And if you become static with your fore-aft balance, the the rest of your turn is going to be static. So, it’s really important to be able to be forward at the top of the turn and then try to use the rear of the skis. Not the tails really, but you know let your skis kind of shoot out from under you a little bit. Just try to play with the entire ski because you have a whole ski for a reason. You want to use the whole thing as a tool. And if you can use the tip-to-tail perfectly and be in balance, then you’re going to have a faster turn.”
In the photo above we can appreciate Mikaela Shiffrin finishing an SL turn. Please note how balance is mainly on the tails of the skis, with the tips actually elevated up in the air. Note as well the amount of counter-rotation of the upper body.
Another excellent tip comes from River Radamus, a U.S. Ski Team GS World Cup athlete: “When I’m entering into a turn all I’m thinking about is pulling my feet behind me. That move really flipped the switch for me in years past. Pulling the feet behind me is such a clear sensation for me and allows me to be at the front of the outside ski, to do the top of the turn right.”

7) Foot pressure goes from front to back, during the turn advanced king
While the turn develops, the norm is that our CM moves backward and we end up finishing the turn with our balance over our heels and tails of the skis. At the feet level, the balance point moves from the ball of the foot at the beginning of the turn, back to the heels, at the end. That’s what happens naturally, even on short turns. In order to start a new turn again, we have to move our CM forward again, and so on.
One study published in 2010 by T. Keränen et all., compared two groups of FIS-Ranked athletes, group 1 ranked higher than group 2. This study demonstrated that both groups had the same kind of center of plantar pressure fore/backward movement, which is associated with the ski’s bending during the turn. But the higher-ranked athletes were able to produce more force through the frontal part of the foot to the ski and their center of pressure trajectory had larger mediolateral movement than the lower-ranked group.
Thus, the better the skier, the more pressure on the ball of the foot is able to generate, and the more edge angle they produce as well.
The better the skier, the more pressure on the ball of the foot is able to generate at the begining of the turn.
Skiing is all about balancing while in motion. Skiing is the ultimate balancing act. The focus in skiing is to stay in balance into the future! In order to keep fore-aft balance, we need to have our center of mass over the base of support (our feet).
8) “Aggressive” mindset
High-level skiing requires a lot of attitude and self-confidence. That “aggressive” mindset (and eventually, aggressive skiing) is absolutely necessary to be able to “get to the front of the skis” on the steep pitches. To “move forward into the abyss”, in order to load/bend the shovel of the new outside ski and make good turns. Both intensity and “aggressiveness” while skiing are very important, and sometimes it’s what it takes for a seasoned skier to reach the next level. So go for it! Like in almost all aspects of life, attitude is everything!
9) Surface and equipment
As well, it is important to mention that we need a hard surface (hard-packed snow), sharp edges, and relatively stiff skis to be able to “hold an edge” while performing those angles. Tuning the skis to keep them sharp is very important. Sharp edges help you carve better. Those big angles do require sharp skis in order to prevent the sudden loss of grip during that high-performance type of turn.
Binding riser plates (AKA “lifters“) help a lot in developing high edge angles because they create more leverage. These lifters are pieces of material between skis and bindings that elevate boots farther off the skis and snow. They also allow the skier to hold a steeper edge angle without encountering “boot out“. Boot out occurs when the side of the boot hits the snow, causing the ski to get knocked off edge.
Regarding the base surface If the snow is soft, we could end up disengaging the outside ski off the snow during the turn (“to lose the outside ski”, particularly in the second part). If we lose the support of the outside ski, what happens is that all the balance (or pressure) moves strongly and abruptly to the (otherwise unloaded) inside ski. It then makes the inside ski bend violently and carve a very short radius path. Next, it is usual that we get thrown away with a 180 degrees air twist and fall over our backs, with the associated dangerous whiplash. That’s a pretty common way of crashing for advanced skiers. advanced skiing
This video is an example of this type of crash experienced by French World Cup racer Thomas Fanara during a race:
In the proper turn (figure 1), the skis (i.e. my base of support) are relatively far from my center of mass… and both shins are parallel, with similar edge angles in both skis. The inside boot is almost touching the outside leg (knee)… so my stance is actually narrow (“hip width”). The separation of one ski over the other is only vertical. Yet, because both legs are tipped to the inside, it “looks” like I would be using a wide stance, but that’s not true. It’s the exact opposite. You can see the strong upper body angulation as well. Also, we can say that my balance is predominantly over my outside ski because it is much more bent than the inside ski. advanced skiing
Figure 1 – Skier: Federico Wenzel
P.S. you can also see my face with tightly clenched teeth because of the strong G-forces I’m experiencing (and trying to withstand) in that high-speed high edge angle carved turn.
Generating those amazing angles while keeping dominant outside ski pressure is a very advanced skill. That’s why the River Radamus (a young US Ski Team athlete) #hipdragchallenge he did on Instagram was so successful and a beauty to watch… advanced skiing
10) Gradualness & progressiveness
The edge angle develops progressively, increasing continuously from the edge change until 3/4 (three quarters) of the turn, where it is the highest. Then starts to decrease for transitioning to the next turn. So edge angle is not static throughout the turn. That’s a typical error among intermediate skiers, that develop all the edge angles at once at the beginning of the turn, and then remain static the rest of it. They create angles by actively pushing themselves to the inside of the turn (instead of the correct way which is “free falling” of the body to the inside by shortening the inside leg). It’s called “hip dumping” or “park and ride” style:
-Hip dumping: is when the hip puts the ski on edge rather than foot tipping. They just throw the hips in to create edge angles.
-Park and ride: when the skier builds all angles, in the lower and upper body, at the beginning of the turn and just rides the skis statically around the rest of the turn. Take a look at the next picture… advanced skiing
“Hip dumping” error
Here is is another mistake, trying to generate big angles by crouching down over the inside ski:
Observe that his balance is mainly on the inside ski, which is right under his center of mass. His base of support (skis) is too close to the center of mass. He has different edge angles on both skis, and the stance is too wide (legs are too far apart). Look at the horizontal separation of both legs. The inside boot is quite far from the outside leg. Although funny, not good at all… advanced skiing
Give it a try to the tips we discussed in this post, so you can break off the plateau and get to that next level…

Fantastic article! One area I struggle the most is applying enough pressure to the front of the foot at the initiation of the turn. I am using the Carv app and I get notification that I am applying more pressure on the hill. I am using the booster strap and keep them pretty tight. When I try to apply pressure to the front of my leg I feel like the strap is getting the pressure. I may be indirectly applying front pressure through booster strap but not directly with my feet. would love any advice
Hello Seckin, and thank you for your comment. Flexing the ankle/driving the outside knee forward in order to apply pressure to the front part of the outside leg and ball of the foot at turn initiation, remains the holy grail of advanced skiing. There are a lot of considerations regarding the equipment and/or technique in order to achieve this consistently. Regarding ski boots, adjusting the ramp angle in order to have pressure evenly over the whole front part of the cuff is key (and not only on the upper part, like you are experiencing). The order thing I would like to point out is that if the ski boot’s flex is too high for your ski level/weight, or if the booster is too stiff, you are not going to be able to flex the boot properly and transmit that load to the shovel of the ski adequately. So try to soften a bit and test too.
If you have a video of your skiing, I strongly suggest doing a video-analysis session with me or another professional in order to check on your skiing. Thanks a lot, and cheers from St. Moritz!
Great article from one of the best in the world. Fede, as an intermediate skier, I’m trying to understand ski carving biomechanics,
some instructors emphasize on “femur rotation” as main move, and effective skiing team on “ankle” rotation, as primary for edging, or is it a combination of them? Thanks
Thank you for your comments, Tito, I really appreciate them. Regarding your question, a very interesting topic by the way: what I think is that femur rotation is the main movement in order to move the knees in, into the turn. Because the knee joint cannot actually flex laterally. It is all made by femur rotation. But, having said that, the edging of the skis should always start from the feet and ankles, by tipping them in (supination of the unweighted inside foot is key). That is, for me, the first and foremost movement we should look for carving (and skidded turns as well). So to achieve edge angles we use a combination of whole body inclination, tipping of the feet and ankles, and moving the knees in by femur rotation. Hope that answers your question, and cheers from St. Mortiz #topoftheworld :-).
Excellent article, at age 75 skiing in Colorado I have been able to get edge angles above 50-55, and will keep trying all that you recommend. But remain puzzled still by the exact sequence of steps for turn initiation, apparently some of your suggestions are done simultaneously and others are sequenced. Have looked at a slow motion of turn initiation w commentary done by others but wondered if you could post a video about initiation with your excellent commentary.
Thank you for your comment Robert. And congratulations for keeping pushing it! I don’t really think it is a “sequence” of steps for turn initiation, I think it happens more fluidly and more less at the same time. But if I had to pick a sequence of movements, I would say that flexing to release the old outside leg, stepping on the old inside/new outside ski, changing edges, pulling both feet back, and toppling to the inside of the new turn by extending that new outside leg. Hope it helps! Cheers from St. Moritz!
This is an excellent article, one of the best pieces on ski technique I’ve read. Thanks Fede!
Thank you very much Kenny! Cheers from St. Moritz, Switzerland!
Wow, excellent description of just about everything that is involved in the turns pictured. Your entire library of articles is just like that – clear and comprehensive.
Have you thought about addressing the use of the arms at initiation in these highly dynamic turns? I’ve been working on lifting that new outside shoulder and arm at the top of the turn … at the same time as I flex the new inside leg. Moving that arm up in the air and tilting the shoulders into the turn moves my CoM over the skis faster and more dramatically. Theoretically this move should get my body entering the turn inclined as the WC skiers do in GS turns, but I haven’t yet had the gumption to let that arm raising produce that effect.
But the little “oomph” it gives me does get my CoM over the skis fast. Afterwards I progressively add the counter and angulation necessary to direct pressure to the outside ski. So far I haven’t felt the new inside leg supporting my weight, so I must be doing something right…..
And then there’s Ted’s swimming arms. I’d enjoy hearing you analyze that particular version of this arm raising.
Hello LiquidFeet, thanks for your much-appreciated feedback. Ted Ligety’s “pumping with the arms” technique is something remarkable, but as he said in an interview, he goes forward with the outside arm mainly for timing purposes. But only way after the apex of the turn, in order to not lean or rotate inside (what happens if you do it too early in a turn). Done correctly at the end of the turn, quote-unquote sets up your body to be in alignment for the top of the next turn and gets your hips through. Alice Robinson does something similar by the way. She had one of Ted’s coaches actually… cheers from Argentina!
Best post on how to be active with inside leg I have ever read. Thank you. Older skier that was coached heavily when younger on extending the outside leg and “throwing” cm into new turn but active inside leg was ignored resulting in ridiculous hip angles at top of turn that is neither efficient or particularly effective. Not trying to throw shade but dang PSIA seems to still have trouble getting hands around idea of active inside leg and vertical separation. This post combined with some Harb stuff and deb Armstrong stuff is getting this skiers hip to the snow. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for your accurate and thorough feedback, Bob. I do agree. The thing is once you hip-drag, you never go back! 🙂 Cheers from Switzerland
Good for old dogs attempting new tricks. I’m 82 year old hip dumping park and rider
Thanks Gary. Keep it up, and come skiing Argentina!
Nice write up. Clear, comprehensive.
Thanks Ed, hope it helps! Cheers from Argentina
very well written article, the only thing I would expand on is that you state in section 10 that maximum edge angle occurs at 3/4 point of the turn but dont explain why this happens. Given the article is all about achieving maximum angle why does maximum edge angle occur at the 3/4 point of the turn as opposed to the apex.
Great work !!
Thanks for your feedback Scott! Because three-quarters of the turn is where upper body angulation is at its peak, allowing for maximum edge angle while maintaining balance on the outside ski. Cheers from Argentina!
I think Fede is answering a slightly different question, “Why is it possible to achieve the highest edge angle…(at the 3/4 point)” rather than what I think might Scott’s true underlying question “Why is it necessary to achieve the highest edge angle…”
If so, my answer would be that at the 1/4 point, the force of the turn is partly offset by the force of gravity. At the 1/2 way point, the force you are trying to resist is entirely due to centrifugal force generated by the turn. At the 3/4 point the centrifugal force is augmented by gravity trying to pull you downhill.
By the 4/4 point your turn radius is increasing to infinity in preparation for tightening in the opposite direction, so there is no longer any centrifugal force. While the gravity force is now at a maximum, it is only 1G, whereas a tight turn could generate a further 2G or more.
Really good article.
yes…. this was truly helpful. Clear. Concise. Logical. Complete and thorough. Accurate. Myth-busting (eg. love the “wide stance” vs. “vertical separation” clarity)! Great videos and photo examples as well.
A fantastic piece for anybody to simply learn from and/or – for very advanced skiers and “skiing thinkers” – to confirm and better explain known coaching points.
Keep up the fabulous content!
Thanks a lot Kip for your thorough review of the post. Your feedback is very much appreciated. New posts are on the way! Cheers from Argentina!
Great insights/instruction Fede.
Thank you Frank, I’m glad you’ve found it useful. A considerable amount of time goes into writing this kind of post, so feedback is really appreciated. Cheers from Argentina!
As far as feedback, I had someone present the “leg shortening” advice during a level 3 alpine exam. That has never made a lot of sense to me. I’ve always thought that if you angulate, you’re inside leg must be shorter, or flexed. I got a lot more out of your explanation that your shins are parallel or how close your outside knee is to your inside shin, or even inside boot. I also took notice of how close your inside knee is to your chest. That alignment is important.
One other comment; I sent some bitcoin but not all readers have the capability to send crypto (at least here in the US). A paypal or venmo address might generate more payments?
Thanks Frank, that’s great feedback! Thank you very much for your donation. Yes, there is actually a PayPal donation button before the bitcoin donation QR. Maybe it is not clearly visible. I’ll work on that, thanks!
That’s totally my fault. I didn’t see it. Thanks for the content. When you get to Beaver Creek I’d like to see you ski!
Thanks Frank! It’s a true possibility to be in the Rockies next season for me. But come to ski Argentina in August. You won’t regret it!
Wanted to thank you for helping me get to the next level in my ski technique.
My pleasure S White! That’s my main goal. Help skiers get to that next level of enjoyment. Cheers from Argentina!
Absolutely fantastic article! The most comprehensive breakdown of advanced carving technique I’ve seen. I immediately had to share it with my online ski group. Thank you!
Thanks John! yes please, feel free to share it with your friends and family. We should help every intermediate skier to get to the level of enjoyment that only carving “arc to arc” turns can give you. That’s one of my main goals as a ski instructor!
Cheers from Argentina!
Indeed probably the best article i read so far on advance carving (quite comprehensive and with very useful examples …). Maybe there is one area to develop further around not letting the inside leg moving forward during the turn but overall awesome content !! Please continue to post new articles 😉
Thanks a lot Michael! for sure that’s a very interesting aspect of high level skiing! I will definitely add it to the article, in the near future. Thanks for pointing that out.
Cheers from Argentina!
Excellent article! One area that could be developed further is when and how to pressure the ski. It can be confusing to hear that the skier should NOT push out(and hip dump) but rather tip the ski on edge. So when the skier does pressure the edge where does this force come from in the body, what counters that force to keep balance, and when should it be done?
Thanks for your contribution Jason! In my humble opinion, how much a ski bends, depends much more on the amount of tipping (edge angle), and very little on the amount of pressure applied. Very little pressure is needed to bend the ski when it is tipped on edge.
So to carve a closer path, we need to strongly tip the skis on edge.
The tangential inertia is very much responsible for pressuring the skis during the turn.
Cheers from Argentina!
By far the best and. Most precise description I have ever encountered 😎👌
Thank you Henrik! I’m glad it was useful for you. Mote content is comming! Cheers!
Superb description in detail that makes sense. Given me some great tips can’t wait to put them into practice on my next trip to the home of skiing (Val d’Isere)! Cheers
Thanks Darren! I’m glad it was helpful, and I agree Val d’Isere is one of those places you should definitely go and ski, for at least 10 days!
I’m ski coaching in the Italian Dolomites now (Madonna di Campiglio area).
Cheers from the Dolomiti di Brenta!
At least from where I am at in my edge angles, this is perhaps the best, easy to understand description yet. I feel my muscle memory is so entrenched that it is hard to get past a certain angle. Going to focus more on inside leg and see what I can get.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, it really encourages me to keep writing new blog posts. I’m glad it makes sense. I must confess that while the inside leg activity is the key aspect in high-level skiing, in order to get more edge angle you need to “fall” to the inside of the turn more. Keep in mind that in order to keep outside ski balance, you will need to counterbalance your upper body to the outside of the turn.
The more you shorten (flex) the inside leg, the more you are going to “fall” to the inside of the turn, and the bigger the angles you generate.
Please try it, and don’t be afraid of going outside your comfort zone… that’s the way we improve and learn new movements and feel new sensations.
Cheers from Argentina! See you on the slopes!
I have been skiing for five decades, and yet it was only earlier this season that I worked out for myself that the inside leg is all I need to think about. *
It felt like such an important discovery, and yet no instructor had ever told me that (and I myself qualified as an instructor four decades ago).
And now that I no longer need the advice, here you are giving it to me. It feels like wonderful (and welcome) confirmation that I’m onto something important. Thanks so much!
*Actually not quite true. It is entirely true, for me at least, in relation to edge angle, though. For reasons I won’t go into, I still need to remember to slide my outside foot forward progressively and powerfully throughout the turn.
And to keep pressure on the ball of my outside foot’s big toe. I always knew I *should* do that, but (again) I only just worked out *why* : it’s for the benefit of the inside (medial) leg muscles of my outside leg. By firing them, my knee is stabilised to the point where it feels thirty years old (better actually, because I had weak medial quads at thirty, having been walking “flat footed” all my life)
Andrew, what I think is that progressive flex of the inside leg builds up progressively higher pressure over the outside foot. Cheers from Argentina!
Indeed, but what I had not realised until I worked it out earlier this year was that by concentrating on edging the inside ski, the outside leg would automatically follow, instad of being blocked by the inside knee being in the way.
I agree 100% with that. The edging needs to come from the inside foot and leg. The outside one will follow automatically and the shins will be parallel. If we look for edging with the outside foot/leg, the inside ones will not copy the outside one, and A-Framing will happen, with that blockage in edging capabilities. Thanks for your great insights! When are you coming to ski Southamerica? Cheers!
One of the best if not the best description of high performance basics! Thanks?
Thanks a lot! It took a considerable amount of time to write it. But it has everything I humbly and strongly believe of what “high-level skiing” is about… cheers from Argentina!
Excellent description of efficient skiing and easy to understand and spot on !
Thanks a lot for the feedback, Richard. I’m glad it was useful. New posts are coming soon. Stay tuned! Best regards… | sports |

EIGHT years ago, Franck Ribery was a fan in the streets of the port city of Boulogne, watching France’s 1998 World Cup campaign unfold as a schoolboy. Zinedine Zidane was a hero and dreams of a professional career, let alone a World Cup final, did not even register on his radar.
On Sunday (4am Monday, Sydney time), having made his full debut for France just eight weeks ago, Ribery will not only line up alongside Zidane and play in a World Cup final but be one of coach Raymo nd Domen against Italy.
“I was watching the 1998 games with my friends, and then going out into the street to celebrate,” Ribery said of France’s winning campaign. “I must have been about 15 at the time and the only thing on my mind was to scream, ‘Allez les Bleus!’ louder and louder each time we won.”
At 23, Ribery is the youngest member of Domenech’s squad but he has fitted into an often complex French jigsaw with ease and confidence. Far from the glamorous superstar, Ribery carries a scar on his face from a car accident when he was two, making him appear more legionnaire than movie star.
But the Marseilles midfielder has attracted attention for his football rather than looks and is now being chased by several big clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Yet just two years ago, Ribery was playing in France’s third division after being kicked out of Lille’s youth academy and before converting to Islam. It is not for show. He is a regular attendee of mosques near Marseilles, where he lives with his Moroccan-born wife Wahiba.
“Islam is my source of strength either in or outside the playground,” he said. “I led a difficult career, I was determined to find peace of mind and I finally found Islam.”
Ribery is France’s new kid on the block but he has been welcomed into the squad.
“Every one of my teammates gives me a little something because they’re all more experienced than me,” Ribery said. “Even though I can imagine it couldn’t have been easy seeing this young guy show up, something I totally understand, I’ve been extremely well-received.
“I feel really at ease in this team. The atmosphere is excellent and that shows on the pitch. Without doubt, the players I’m closest to are Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry. I listen to advice from Zizou [Zidane] all the time. Basically, I just try and share my joie de vivre and fit in with the squad.”

Sportsbooks are betting sites where you can place bets on sports games. They usually offer different types of bets such as totals, props, and odds. Some also offer virtual sports sections. When you are looking for a sportsbook, you want to ensure that it has a reliable reputation, competitive odds, and offers a variety of sports and wagering options.
The best sportsbook offers a variety of bets, which means you will not have to pick between sports like football, baseball, basketball, and soccer. You will also find a number of promotions and bets. This is especially important if you are a first time bettor. It is also a good idea to research the legality of betting online in your jurisdiction, and you should look for a site that offers a variety of promotions and payment methods.
If you are not sure about the legality of online sports betting, you can find out by reading the terms of service. If you are planning to place a large bet, you may have to present proof of identification before you can make a withdrawal. Also, check to see if the sportsbook is legally registered in your jurisdiction.
When you are choosing a sportsbook, you should also take into account the reputation of the website. Some have a reputation for being unsafe, and you might want to avoid them. In addition, look for a site with a high payout percentage.
Another factor to consider when deciding on a sportsbook is the number of events it offers. If you are a serious bettor, you should look for one that has hundreds of sporting events offered each week. Smaller sportsbooks will usually only offer a few sporting events. However, if you are a casual bettor, you might not have a problem with a smaller sportsbook.
Most sportsbooks will allow you to bet on the other team in a game. You might also have the option of betting on the number of points the opposing team will score. There are also a number of exotic bets that you can place. These include Asian Handicaps, and Esports bets.
If you are a first time bettor, you should do some research on the legality of sportsbooks in your state. You should also ensure that the sportsbook offers a variety of bets and that it has a good payout percentage.
When you are trying to choose the best sportsbook for your needs, consider a few things: the amount of bet types offered, the payout percentage, the security of the site, and the popularity of the site. A good sportsbook should have a good reputation, provide a wide range of bets, offer competitive odds, and have a variety of payment methods.
You can also take advantage of the latest in gaming technology when you choose a sportsbook. Some sites have mobile applications for your smartphone. Many websites have live streaming options so you can watch the game as it happens. SBOBet is an excellent example of a sportbook that offers both. | sports |

Participating in some form of sport has physical and psychological benefits. Physical activity can increase coordination, improve self-esteem, and teach important lessons about teamwork and self-discipline.
Participating in sports can also result in injury if not careful. Whether you’re a parent, player, or coach, it’s important to be aware of sports safety tips to help keep everyone safe. Below are a few sports safety tips to keep in mind:
Warm Up. Warming up before playing gradually increases the heart rate and blood circulation. This helps loosen the joints and increase blood flow to the muscles. Warming up is also a great opportunity to prepare mentally for the game ahead and for a team to work together before the start of the game or practice.
Wear the proper equipment. The proper use of protective equipment is a crucial part of injury prevention in sports and should be worn regardless of whether it is a game, practice, or just fun. This includes things like a mouthguard, helmet, protective pads, etc.
Follow the rules of the game. Rules provide an agreement of understanding to competition. In sports, rules define what is allowed or not allowed to occur during situations on and off the court. Following the rules ensures that everyone is playing safely and ultimately reduces the risk of injury.
Listen to your body. Soreness and pain are not synonymous. One is the good kind of hurt, the other indicates harm. If your muscles feel sore, this is an indication that your muscles are growing. After a hard workout, they may be tight, heavy, or sensitive to the touch. If the discomfort continues for multiple days or pain can be pinpointed to a joint, bone, or tendon, you may be experiencing an injury. If this is the case, take a few days off and rest. If pain continues, you may need to visit an Orthopedic specialist.
Be aware of your surroundings. This means knowing where the other players are, being aware of obstacles on the field, and knowing the layout of the playing area. Knowing where things are located helps to avoid collisions and potential falls.
Drink plenty of water. Sweat lost during sports must be replaced with equal amounts of fluids each hour of intense sports activity. Water should be consumed before, during, and after each practice or game. To avoid stomach cramps from drinking large amounts of fluids at once, drink about 1 cup of water (or a type of sports drink) every 15 to 20 minutes.
When participating appropriately, sports can offer plenty of benefits and be a great way to stay physically active. If you’ve experienced a sports-related injury, give Santiam Orthopedic Group a call at 503-769-8470. | sports |

Football is neither better nor worse than the societies that host it. It reflects their values, their outlooks and their prejudices.
Football feeds the passions of millions of young people, it occupies their dreams and it often embodies their hopes.
With popularity comes also responsibility. UEFA believes that football has the opportunity to improve the society in which it thrives. We believe that it is our duty as football administrators to fight the evils that society produces. And because football is a prime example of society’s diversity, it stands also in a unique position to fight against all forms of discrimination.
Over the past decade and thanks to its partnership with FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) UEFA has led the fight against prejudice and hate in European football. Zero tolerance for racism and discrimination has been and is our policy. Under that policy, we have singled out and sanctioned behaviours that we deemed inappropriate in a football stadium and we are proud of it. Racism, anti-Semitism, gender discrimination, homophobia are just as unacceptable on a football pitch as they are in society at large.
The fight against discrimination is unfortunately not over. Society keeps on distilling its poison and we must remain alert to its multifaceted aspects.
We have a solemn duty to ensure that the human dignity of both players and fans is thoroughly protected in a football stadium.
We are confident that good behaviour is indeed habit forming. Diversity is rife on a pitch and in the stands. Diversity is a tremendously valuable asset for our societies and football must play a part in protecting it. Talent knows no colour; it knows no creed, gender or sexual preference. Let us always keep this essential fact in mind and let us make sure that those who might want to use our sports and our events as a conduit for spreading their hateful ideas are properly handled and punished. | sports |

5onFive Recreation League: 5 out of 5 stars
5onFive Club ball: 5 out of 5 stars
It is disappointing to read the negative review that was posted by OCPapa1. I can fully understand if the program didn't work out for him. However, the attack is unnecessary. 5onFive basketball is not a "scam". It is the best developmental league in Orange County. We have three children (two boys and a girl) who played basketball here in OC and they all played for a variety of recreational leagues, developmental leagues, and club teams including 5onFive.
The 5onFive program is geared toward developing young boys and girls into the best players they can be. Much like any other developmental league it requires the players to step up, work hard and execute. In the recreational league they will all play an even amount. However in the club program, they need to contribute to the team and show that they are giving 100%. If they do, they will gain playing time. If they don't, they won't. Our oldest son was a marginal basketball player when he started with June Banks. June challenged him and over the period of a few years, he developed into a starter on the club team. By the time he started high school, he was strong enough to play high school basketball. This would not have happened without a strong commitment on my son's part and the skills June instilled in him.
It is no accident that the majority of the varsity players at Santa Margarita Catholic High School and many of the other top tier high school basketball programs in OC grew up within the 5onFive program.
Yes, as OCPapa1 stated, club ball is expensive. Yes, you will need to drive your child all over southern California. Welcome to club ball. No, June will not play every child in every game. No, June will not play the second string when the game is on the line. These are life lessons that are all part of playing club ball. They are important lessons to learn. If you are looking to get even playing time for all players, then you should play in the recreational league offered by 5onFive or many other basketball programs. These leagues will guarantee that every player gets an even amount of playing time. However, this is not the real world and isn't doing your child any benefit. The 5onFive recreational league is coached by parents and some parents feel that they don't get the quality of coaching that they would like. However, these are the same parents that don't bring their child to the 5onFive academy on the weekends. If you really want your child to excel, make sure he or she attends every academy.
June is nothing if not honest with the parents. Between our three children I have sat through probably 30+ orientation meetings led by June Banks. He spells out the league and club programs extremely well. There should be no surprises to anyone in the program.
I for one want to say that June Banks and the 5onFive program were an extremely positive experience for our three children, each of which played for June in both recreation league and club ball over a 10 year period. I would highly recommend the 5onFive program to any family.
Reason of review: Good customer service. | sports |

Sunday 18 December 2011
DUSHANBE (Tehran Times) – The first edition of the Asian Junior Zurkhaneh Sports Championships and Parazurkhaneh Sports Championships kicked off in Dushanbe, Tajikistan on Friday.
The events, which are underway at the Ferdowsi Hall, will run until Monday. Some 70 athletes from nine countries namely, Tajikistan, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei and South Korea are participating in the competitions.
In the opening ceremony held at the hall, Amir Hosseini, secretary general of the International Zurkhaneh Sports Federation (IZSF) said the ancient Zurkhaneh (زورخانه) sports are the ancestors’ legacy, which has been confirmed by UNESCO.
The head of Iran’s National Olympic Committee, M. Aliabadi, also attended the ceremony.
A. Sajjadi, head of the IZSF technical committee, said: “Our objective is to introduce Zurkhaneh sports as an Olympic event. Everyone can enjoy it anywhere and anytime. We have worked to develop the sport around the world during the past years. At the moments, as you see in the Asian Junior Championship, the athletes from Nepal and India have improved their skills and become an integral part of the federation.”
Zurkhaneh (Zorkhana or Zourkhaneh, literally “house of force”) is a traditional gymnasium of urban Greater Iran (including Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, Caucasus and Central Asia). The Iranian national sport, called Varzesh-e Pahlavani (ورزش پهلوانی) or Varzesh-e Bastani (ورزش باستانی), is practiced in Zurkhaneh. The arena of the Zurkhaneh is an octagonal pit about 1 m deep with a floor of clay soil in which athletes train for Pahlevan (پهلوان). In contrast to gymnastics practiced in the West, the exercises consist of team sports that combine tests of physical strength and flexibility, specific rituals, and respect for traditional moral and ethical rules. The game of Pahlevan changes to keep pace with the sound of a drum played by the morshed (“guide”), who is typically seated in an elevated position within the hall.
The zurkhaneh is more than just a place dedicated to physical exercise. The zurkhaneh and Varzesh-e Pahlavani have their roots in pre-Islamic Iranian culture. After the Arab conquest, its practice became illegal for a time, and was seen as representing a form of cultural resistance. There has been renewed interest in the Zurkhaneh starting in the early 20th century, and it is now associated with nationalism. | sports |

A great day of celebration has been planned to mark the arrival of the iconic Olympic Torch in Portadown on Tuesday 5th June 2012. The Torch Relay, which begins on 19th May, at Lands End in Cornwall, makes its epic 70-day journey around the UK, covering approximately 8,000 miles, before it arrives in London at the Olympic Stadium. The flame will light the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony on 27th July, to signify the Games.
The flame arrives in Portadown’s Armagh Road at 4.39pm before travelling along Church Street and on to Market Street. It’s carried through Portadown Town Centre along High Street, on to Castle Street across the River Bann, before travelling along Bridge Street, Carrickblacker Road and finally on to the Gilford Road before making its way to the scheduled visit in Gilford.
Craigavon has a wealth of sports clubs from the area who inspire young people to get involved in sport and make participation in sport a vital part of their lives. Sports clubs are celebrating the arrival of the Olympic Torch through a variety of sporting events and encouraging everyone to gather along the route to take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Sports (PlayOn) today announce the official launch of the NFHS Network, an all-digital network that will expand coverage of high school sports and performing arts events through the Internet at NFHSnetwork.com
With coverage of boys and girls sports and activities initially in at least 28 states during the 2013-14 school year, the NFHS Network becomes the largest aggregated destination for coverage of high school sports in the country. Through a subscription-based digital service available at NFHSnetwork.com, more students, parents and fans will be able to watch high school sports than ever before.
NFHS member associations in the following states have finalized agreements and will be a part of the NFHS Network as the 2013-14 season begins: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
In addition, member associations in a number of other states are close to completing agreements and are expected to join the NFHS Network soon. “We believe this is one of the greatest opportunities in the 94-year history of the NFHS as we are able to take advantage of new technology and showcase high school sports and performing arts on a national scale,” said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director. “We are excited to provide viewership opportunities for fans of high school sports that have never existed before. The NFHS Network will help showcase our primary mission of expanding participation and opportunities for involvement in education-based interscholastic sports and performing arts activities.”
Postseason games in all sports sponsored by states in the NFHS Network will be available online on the Network, except for select championship events for which state associations have existing television contracts with other media partners. Viewing opportunities for NFHS Network events will be posted in the coming months at NFHSnetwork.com
The NFHS Network will build on the past success of PlayOn’s high-quality coverage of high school sports at the state level. PlayOn currently streams nearly 30,000 events per school year and has worked with 32 state associations and sections in 26 states.
“Teaming up with the NFHS is a natural progression to build a truly national high school sports platform while honoring the local communities that support them,” said David Rudolph, PlayOn! Sports chief executive officer. “Our mission is to serve the current and future generations of student-athletes, support and encourage their participation and make their performances accessible to their friends, family and fans on every media platform they use.”
The NFHS Network is a joint venture between the NFHS and PlayOn! Sports and will be governed and overseen by a combination of NFHS and PlayOn executives. “Ultimately, we want to make the NFHS Network the most treasured and trusted source for high school athletics,” Gardner said.
The NFHS, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, is the national leadership organization for high school sports and performing arts activities. Since 1920, the NFHS has led the development of education-based interscholastic sports and performing arts activities that help students succeed in their lives. The NFHS sets direction for the future by building awareness and support, improving the participation experience, establishing consistent standards and rules for competition, and helping those who oversee high school sports and activities.

The rule is based on the definition of “illegal batter”. A batter that is batting out of turn is not “illegal” until they reach base. A batter that is not batting in their correct place in the lineup is “improper”. An “improper batter” may be replaced at any time during their at bat by the “proper” batter and the count remains the same. If an “improper batter” reaches base, then he becomes an “illegal batter” and the umpire, upon an appeal, shall 1) call the “proper batter” out, 2) nullify the result of the play, and 3) place the “proper batter” at the plate.
The following is a more complete version of this rule:
(a) A batter shall be called out, on appeal, when he fails to bat in his proper turn, and another batter completes a time at bat in his place. The proper batter may take his place in the batter’s box at any time before the improper batter becomes a runner or is put out, and any balls and strikes shall be counted in the proper batter’s time at bat.
(b) When an improper batter becomes a runner or is put out, and the defensive team appeals to the umpire before the first pitch to the next batter of either team, or before any play or attempted play (such as a pickoff attempt), the umpire shall (1) declare the proper batter out; and (2) nullify any advance or score made because of a ball batted by the improper batter or because of the improper batter’s advance to first base on a hit, an error, a base on balls, a hit batter or otherwise. NOTE: If a runner advances, while the improper batter is at bat, on a stolen base, balk, wild pitch or passed ball, such advance is legal.
(c) When an improper batter becomes a runner or is put out, and a pitch is made to the next batter of either team before an appeal is made, the improper batter thereby becomes the proper batter, and the results of his time at bat become legal.
(d) (1) When the proper batter is called out because he has failed to bat in turn, the next batter shall be the batter whose name follows that of the proper batter thus called out; (2) When an improper batter becomes a proper batter because no appeal is made before the next pitch, the next batter shall be the batter whose name follows that of such legalized improper batter. The instant an improper batter’s actions are legalized, the batting order picks up with the name following that of the legalized improper batter.
The umpire shall not direct the attention of any person to the presence in the batter’s box of an improper batter. This rule is designed to require constant vigilance by the players and managers of both teams. There are two fundamentals to keep in mind: When a player bats out of turn, the proper batter is the player called out. If an improper batter bats and reaches base or is out and no appeal is made before a pitch to the next batter, or before any play or attempted play, that improper batter is considered to have batted in proper turn and established the order that is to follow.
To illustrate various
situations arising from batting out of turn, assume a first-inning batting
order as follows: Player #1-#
PLAY (1). #2 bats. With the count 2 balls and 1 strike, (a) the offensive team discovers the error or (b) the defensive team appeals. Ruling: In either case, #1 replaces #2, with the count on him 2 balls and 1 strike.
PLAY (2). #2 bats and doubles. The defensive team appeals (a) immediately or (b) after a pitch to #3. Ruling: (a) #1 is called out and #2 is the proper batter; (b) #2 stays on second and #3 is the proper batter.
PLAY (3). #1 walks. #2 walks. #3 forces #2. #5 bats in #4’s turn. While #5 is at bat, #1 scores and #3 goes to second on a wild pitch. #5 grounds out, sending #3 to third. The defensive team appeals (a) immediately or (b) after a pitch to #4. Ruling: (a) #1’s run counts and #3 is entitled to second base since these advances were not made because of the improper batter batting a ball or advancing to first base. #3 must return to second base because his advance to third resulted from the improper batter batting a ball. #4 is called out, and #5 is the proper batter; (b) #1’s run counts and #3 stays on third. The proper batter is #6.
PLAY (4). With the bases full and two out. #8 bats in #6’s turn, and triples, scoring three runs. The defensive team appeals (a) immediately, or (b) after a pitch to #7. Ruling: (a) #6 is called out and no runs score. #7 is the proper batter to lead off the second inning; (b) @8 stays on third and three runs score. #9 is the proper batter.
PLAY (5). After Play (4) (b) above, #7 continues to bat. (a) #8 is picked off third base for the third out, or (b) #7 flies out, and no appeal is made. Who is the proper leadoff batter in the second inning? Ruling: (a) #9. He became the proper batter as soon as the first pitch to #7 legalized #8’s triple; (b) #8. When no appeal was made, the first pitch to the leadoff batter of the opposing team legalized #7’s at bat.
PLAY (6). #4 walks and #1 comes to bat. #4 was an improper batter, and if an appeal is made before the first pitch to #1, #1 is out, #4 is removed from base, and #2 is the proper batter. There is no appeal, and a pitch is made to #1. #4’s walk is now legalized, and #5 thereby becomes the proper batter. #5 can replace #1 at any time before #1 is put out or becomes a runner. He does not do so. #1 flies out, and #2 comes to bat. #1 was an improper batter, and if an appeal is made before the first pitch to #2, #5 is out, and the proper batter is #6. There is no appeal, and a pitch is made to #2. #1’s out is now legalized, and the proper batter is #2. #2 walks. #3 is the proper batter. #3 flies out. Now #4 is the proper batter, but he is on second base. Who is the proper batter? Ruling: The proper batter is #5. When the proper batter is on base, he is passed over, and the following batter becomes the proper batter. | sports |

Across sports and competition levels, playing surfaces have been switching from natural grass to artificial turf. This has several health ramifications. Some researchers have speculated that the rubber polymers used in artificial turf cause cancer. Although turf’s carcinogenic properties have not been proven, a recent study of NFL players showed that the incidence of knee and ankle injuries is significantly higher in games played on turf.
The first NFL stadium to use an artificial playing surface was the Houston Astrodome in 1966. The surface, called AstroTurf, was manufactured by Monsanto and consisted of a padded-carpet over asphalt. In the 1990’s infill surfaces became popular and are widespread today. Infill surfaces consist of an interwoven mat of polyethylene fibers filled with rubber particles. The frequency of NFL games played on turf has been increasing over the years as more NFL stadiums adopt turf. The figure below demonstrates this trend over the previous decade.
Several studies have looked at injury rates in football players based on field surface. A study done in the early 2000s found that ACL injury rates of high school players are higher in games played on turf. However, the same study found college players were more likely to sustain an injury on grass than turf. A recent study looked at several different lower leg injuries in NFL players using extensive data collected by the injury surveillance system maintained by NFL trainers (An Analysis of Specific Lower Extremity Injury Rates on Grass and FieldTurf Playing Surfaces in National Football League Games : 2000-2009 Seasons; 2012. Elliot B. Hershman, et al.). The study used data from NFL seasons from 2000 to 2009.
The aforementioned study looked at several different lower leg injuries in NFL players: knee sprains, MCL and ACL injuries, ankle sprains, inversions and eversions. Although all injury categories demonstrated a higher frequency in turf than grass, MCL (median collateral ligament) injuries and inversions (an ankle sprain where the ankle is twisted inwards) both did not show significance. The injuries that did show significantly higher prevalence on turf were knee sprains, ACL injuries, ankle sprains and eversions. The figure below shows the injury rates in NFL players based on a density ratio of turf over grass injury rates.
ACL sprains occurred at a rate 67% higher on turf than grass. Eversion ankle sprains occurred at a rate 31% higher on turf than grass. Despite the significantly higher rates of injury on turf, this study was limited because it did not suggest any mechanisms by which turf causes higher lower-leg injury rates nor a means to make artificial surfaces safer. | sports |

CLASS OF 2023 RANKINGS: Rivals100
RIVALS CAMP SERIES: Info/coverage on 2021 camp series
1. Jeremiah Alexander will end up back in Alabama’s class.
Spiegelman’s take: FACT. This is a two-team race with Alabama and Clemson leading the way. After making his way to Clemson at the beginning of June, Alexander named the Tigers as the team to beat and their ascension was noteworthy. However, since then Alexander has been back to Tuscaloosa on three occasions, and the one-time Alabama pledge is a priority for Saban on defense. Entering Thursday’s decision, the Tide feel like the team to beat.
2. After the Elite 11, Devin Brown is the quarterback most worthy of a rankings bump.
Young’s take: FACT. No quarterback exceeded expectations more at Elite 11 than Brown. Part of that is he simply didn’t have the national profile of many of the other QBs entering the event, so when he came out and consistently looked like one of the top-five passers there through each day, each drill, each competition, it was frankly eye-opening. The comments from other players at the tournament reinforced that as well. It’s not as if Brown was totally off the radar or anything – we have him ranked inside the top-200 and he is committed to USC – but he simply wasn’t previously in any conversations about the top QBs in this class. Now, he needs to be. And this fits the narrative of his football trajectory as a late-bloomer who sprouted up through a significant growth spurt between his freshman and junior years, who didn’t really play in an offense geared toward putting up huge passing numbers at Queen Creek in Arizona and who is now seeing his physical tools refine and sharpen just as he’s about to take the reins of that high-scoring Corner Canyon offense in Utah this fall. Those that didn’t take notice of Brown’s Elite 11 performance will get another chance to evaluate his surging stock this fall as he plays in the same offense that positioned Jaxson Dart to set state records last year. But yes, Brown showed at Elite 11 that he is better than his current ranking as the No. 9 pro-style QB in this class. A few years after finding a hidden gem out of Arizona in Kedon Slovis, the Trojans look to have done it again with Brown.
3. Florida has a real shot to land four-star defensive end Quency Wiggins.
Bender’s take: FACT. Although he resides in LSU’s backyard, Florida is definitely a legitimate contender for Wiggins after hosting him for an unofficial visit last month. Overall, you can say Wiggins’ time in Gainesville was an eye-opening experience, as the Rivals100 defensive lineman says it was the most love a school has shown to him on any visit. He “can’t wait” to return for his official visit as well. Head coach Dan Mullen and defensive line coach David Turner are leading UF’s pursuit of the 6-foot-6, 264-pound defender, while fellow Louisiana native and UF defensive tackle Jalen Lee pushed all the right buttons during the visit as well. Wiggins is well aware of the program’s success between the white lines, but it’s the home-like feel in Gainesville that boosted UF’s standing in his recruitment. LSU is going to be difficult to edge out, while Alabama is heavily in the mix as well, but Florida solidified its standing last month. I would say Florida’s in that top 2-3 range.” | sports |

Starting in the late 1800s, the sport has developed from being in murky waters with a poorly constructed ball to the Olympic sport it is today. Water polo was among the first team sports to join the Olympic games back in Paris, 1900. Though it has grown into a popular sport, some people don’t understand the basics of water polo.
Water polo players work as a team to move the ball through the water into the opposing net. Like many other sports, the objective is to score against the opposing team. Scores in games can vary from low to high. The highest scoring game was recorded in 2008 with 27 goals. A team can only hold the ball for 30 seconds before having to take a shot. A goal counts when the ball completely crosses the goal posts and below the crossbar. The shot clock will reset after a shot is taken and the ball is rebounded. Teams have four quarters that last eight minutes to score on their opponents.
A team consists of seven players in the pool at once, but the entire team usually consists of 13 players. One being the goalie and the rest being in the outfield. Players are able to move about the pool as needed during the game. There are no specific positions that players have to keep, unlike soccer or hockey teams. The players are required to wear swimsuits or trunks, swim caps and goggles.
If the game is tied at the end of the match, a penalty shootout will take place. Five players from each team will have a chance to take a shot from the 5m line. The shootout continues until one team misses and the opposing team scores.
Rules of the Game:
- The field is 30 meters by 20 meters, and the depth is a minimum of 2 meters
- Players can only carry the ball with one hand, excluding the goalie who can use two hands
- Players are not able to touch the bottom of the pool and must tread water or swim the entire duration of the match
- Penalties include major fouls and ordinary fouls. Players may obtain three major fouls before they are removed from the match

Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or just looking for new ways to get moving, incorporating activities with friends can make exercise more enjoyable and motivating. From team sports to outdoor adventures, there are numerous fun ways to stay active with friends that can help you stay fit and strengthen your social bonds.
Who says you need to hit the club to dance the night away? Organizing a dance party with your friends is a fun and energetic way to stay active. Pick a playlist of your favorite songs, clear out some space in your living room, and let loose. Not only is dancing a great cardio workout, but it also releases endorphins, making you feel happier and more connected to your friends.
**Group Fitness Classes**
Group fitness classes offer a great opportunity to work out with friends while trying something new. From Zumba to spin classes, there are plenty of options to choose from based on your interests and fitness level. Exercising in a group setting can be motivating and inspiring, pushing you to challenge yourself and stay committed to your fitness goals.
Exploring the great outdoors with your friends is a fantastic way to stay active and enjoy nature. Whether it’s hiking through a scenic trail, biking along a picturesque route, or kayaking in a nearby lake, outdoor adventures provide a refreshing break from your usual routine. Plus, being surrounded by nature can help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.
Joining a sports league with your friends can add a competitive edge to your workouts while fostering teamwork and camaraderie. Whether you opt for basketball, soccer, volleyball, or any other team sport, playing in a league can help improve your athletic skills and keep you accountable to your fitness routine. Plus, the friendly competition and social aspect make it a fun way to bond with your friends.
Setting fitness challenges with your friends can add an element of excitement and motivation to your workouts. Whether it’s a step challenge, a plank challenge, or a virtual race, competing against each other can push you to work harder and reach new fitness milestones. Plus, celebrating your achievements together can strengthen your friendship and create lasting memories.
If you or your friends have furry companions, organizing doggie playdates can be a fun way to stay active while bonding with your pets. Taking your dogs for a walk, playing fetch in the park, or going for a hike together can provide a double dose of exercise and companionship. Not only will you and your friends benefit from the physical activity, but your four-legged friends will also appreciate the extra playtime.
Combine physical activity with a healthy meal by organizing a healthy potluck with your friends. Each person can prepare a nutritious dish, and you can enjoy a delicious and wholesome meal together after a workout or outdoor activity. Sharing healthy recipes and meal ideas can inspire you and your friends to make better food choices and support each other in leading a healthy lifestyle.
Stay Active, Stay Connected
Finding fun ways to stay active with friends not only benefits your physical health but also enhances your social connections and overall well-being. Whether you prefer high-energy dance parties, outdoor adventures, or friendly sports competitions, there are plenty of options to choose from based on your interests and fitness level. By incorporating activities with friends into your routine, you can make exercise more enjoyable, stay motivated, and create lasting memories with the people you care about. So grab your friends, lace up your sneakers, and get moving together for a healthier and happier lifestyle. | sports |

When it comes to skiing, safety should always be a top priority. Accidents happen, but with the right precautions, you can minimize the risks and have a worry-free experience on the slopes. It’s crucial to be aware of the potential dangers and adhere to safety guidelines to protect yourself and others around you. Let’s explore the essential safety measures and gear you need to ski confidently in Drayton Valley.
Essential Safety Gear for Skiing in Drayton Valley
Before you hit the slopes, make sure you have the necessary safety gear. A well-fitted helmet is a must-have to protect your head from any potential impact. Additionally, goggles, gloves, and layers of clothing are essential to keep you warm and shielded from the elements. Don’t forget about proper ski bindings and boots that provide stability and support. With the right equipment, you’ll be well-prepared to tackle the slopes with confidence.
Preparing Your Body for a Safe Skiing Experience
Physical preparation is key to ensuring a safe skiing adventure. Engage in regular exercise routines that target your core, legs, and balance. Strengthening these areas will enhance your stability and reduce the risk of injuries. Incorporate exercises such as squats, lunges, and balance training into your fitness regimen. Remember, a well-prepared body is less prone to accidents on the slopes.
Knowing Your Limits: Skiing within Your Skill Level
While the thrill of conquering challenging slopes can be tempting, it’s important to know your limits and ski within your skill level. Pushing yourself beyond your abilities can lead to accidents and injuries. Start with easier slopes and gradually progress to more difficult ones as you gain confidence and improve your skiing techniques. Always listen to your body and never hesitate to take a break if needed.

Staying Safe in Different Weather Conditions
Drayton Valley’s weather can be unpredictable, so it’s crucial to be prepared for different conditions. Check the weather forecast before heading out and dress accordingly. In icy or snowy conditions, adjust your skiing technique to maintain control. Avoid skiing during extreme weather conditions such as heavy snowstorms or strong winds.

For families planning a skiing trip in Drayton Valley, it’s essential to prioritize the safety of your children. Supervision is key, especially for younger or less experienced skiers.

Clear Fork is located on a semicircle of scenic hills in North Central Ohio, close to the Mohican State Forest. Clear Fork is known for its skiing terrain and wide open slopes that are serviced by six lifts. The slopes and trails were designed for variety and uncrowded conditions. Clear Fork has something for everyone! Their Beginners’ area is recommended for beginning and intermediate skiers. The Beginners’ area is designed for easy learning and is separate from the main slopes. It is serviced by an easy to use J-Bar and a Handle Bar lift. When you’re ready for more challenging terrain, you can join the intermediate and advanced skiers on the other slopes. The Quad chair lift services both Main Street and Logan’s Run, two of the most difficult runs. For more skiing variety, ride the Triple chair lift which not only services Main Street and Outer Rim but the very popular Bowl Area. The scenic Bowl Area is nestled in the hills and is a great intermediate run. From the Bowl you can easily access the Upper Area Double chair lift and enjoy the natural setting as you ride to the top where you may choose to ski either the Back Chute, rated most difficult or Whitetail that runs under the double chair and is rated more difficult. When Mother Nature cooperates with natural snow, try skiing Route 66. Whatever your skiing ability may be, Clear Fork can offer you not only variety and challenge but also a spacious, natural, scenic atmosphere.

These two powerhouse exercises work together to build functional strength and muscle mass, offering benefits that extend far beyond the gym. But when it comes to maximizing your performance and minimizing injury risk, your choice of footwear can be a game-changer.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the world of shoes specifically designed for squats and deadlifts, exploring the top options on the market and offering expert advice on how to select the perfect pair for your needs. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned powerlifter, strap in and prepare to elevate your training to new heights with the ultimate footwear for squats and deadlifts.
Why Specialized Shoe Matter
You might wonder, “Why can’t I just wear my regular sneakers or cross-trainers for squats and deadlifts?” The answer lies in the unique demands these exercises place on your body. Squats and deadlifts require a high degree of stability, balance, and proper biomechanics to execute with optimal power and safety.
Standard athletic shoes often have cushioned soles, which can be detrimental to your performance during these lifts. Cushioning can cause instability and rob you of the force you need to generate to lift heavy loads. Specialized shoes for squats and deadlifts are designed to provide a stable, non-compressible platform for your feet, ensuring that every ounce of energy you put into your lifts is maximized.
Stepping Up Your Game with These Picks
1. Adidas Powerlift 4
Designed specifically for weightlifting, the Adidas Powerlift 4 boasts a solid, non-compressible sole and a moderate heel height, making it an excellent choice for squats. The shoe’s upper is constructed from durable synthetic materials, ensuring long-lasting performance. The Velcro strap provides additional ankle support and a secure fit, while the grippy outsole ensures excellent traction during your lifts.
2. Reebok Legacy Lifter II

With a raised heel and a sturdy TPU sole, this shoe provides a stable platform for squats, while still being suitable for deadlifts. The breathable mesh upper and dual straps offer a comfortable, secure fit. Its durable construction ensures that the Legacy Lifter II can withstand the rigors of heavy lifting.
3. Sabo Deadlift Shoes

These shoes feature a flat, non-compressible sole, allowing for maximum power transfer and stability during your lifts. The high-top design and Velcro straps offer excellent ankle support, while the side support helps keep your foot locked in place. The durable, non-slip outsole ensures you stay grounded throughout your lifts.
4. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Tops
While not explicitly designed for lifting, the classic Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Tops have long been a favorite among powerlifters for their flat, non-compressible sole and minimalistic design. The high-top version provides additional ankle support, while the canvas upper offers breathability and durability. For those on a budget or seeking a versatile shoe for both lifting and casual wear, the Converse Chuck Taylors are a solid choice.
5. Nike Romaleos 4
The Nike Romaleos 4 is a top-tier weightlifting shoe that excels in both squats and deadlifts. With a raised heel and a rigid, non-compressible sole, these shoes provide a stable platform for heavy lifting.

Built to last, the Romaleos 4 is a premium option for serious lifters.

The shoe features a raised heel and a rigid, non-compressible sole, providing a solid platform for lifting. The innovative BOA closure system ensures a secure, customized fit, while the breathable mesh upper keeps your feet comfortable during intense workouts. The sticky rubber outsole offers superior traction to keep you grounded during your lifts.

The shoe features a flat, non-compressible sole, making it suitable for both squats and deadlifts. The lightweight, breathable mesh upper ensures a comfortable fit, while the external heel counter provides additional stability and support. The Vibram outsole offers excellent traction and durability, making the Minimus Prevail a great choice for lifters who prefer a more minimalist approach.
9. Do-Win Classic Lifter
The Do-Win Classic Lifter is a tried-and-true weightlifting shoe that has gained a loyal following among powerlifters and Olympic weightlifters alike. The shoe features a raised heel and a non-compressible sole, providing a stable platform for squats. The leather and mesh upper offers a comfortable, breathable fit, while the double straps ensure a secure, customized feel. The Do-Win Classic Lifter’s outsole is made from a high-traction rubber compound, allowing for optimal grip during your lifts.
How to Choose the Ideal Shoes for Squats and Deadlifts
Heel Height: The Great Debate
One of the primary factors to consider when choosing shoes for squats and deadlifts is heel height. A raised heel can help improve the squat depth and ankle mobility, making it a popular choice for Olympic weightlifters and individuals with limited ankle flexibility. However, a flat sole is generally preferred for deadlifts, as it allows for better power transfer and a more natural lifting position. It’s essential to find a shoe with a heel height that aligns with your specific lifting goals and biomechanics.
Ankle Support and Stability
Proper ankle support can make a significant difference in your lifting performance, particularly when it comes to stability during heavy lifts. Look for shoes that offer adequate support without being overly restrictive or uncomfortable. High-top shoes and those with adjustable straps can provide a secure, customized fit, ensuring that your feet and ankles are well-supported throughout your lifts.
Material and Durability
The rigors of heavy lifting demand a shoe that can withstand the test of time. Opt for shoes constructed from high-quality, durable materials, such as synthetic leather or robust canvas. Keep in mind that breathability is also important, particularly during long training sessions. Shoes with mesh or perforated uppers can help keep your feet cool and comfortable.
Traction: Staying Grounded
A shoe with a grippy outsole is crucial for maintaining proper form and technique during squats and deadlifts. Slipping during a heavy lift can lead to injury and compromised performance. Look for shoes with non-slip outsoles made from materials such as rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which offer excellent traction and stability.
Fit and Comfort: The Foundations of Success
Last but not least, prioritize finding a shoe that fits well and feels comfortable on your feet. A poorly-fitting shoe can cause discomfort, limit performance, and even lead to injuries. Consider factors such as the width and shape of your feet, as well as any specific fit preferences you may have. Don’t hesitate to try on multiple sizes and styles to find the perfect fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I wear the same shoes for both squats and deadlifts?
While some lifters prefer specialized shoes for each exercise, many opt for a hybrid shoe that can be used for both. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and performance goals.
2. Can I use weightlifting shoes for other exercises?
Weightlifting shoes are specifically designed for stability and power transfer during heavy lifts. They may not be ideal for activities that require more flexibility and cushioning, such as running or plyometrics.
3. How often should I replace my squat and deadlift shoes?
The lifespan of your shoes depends on factors such as frequency of use, the intensity of your workouts, and the quality of the shoes. Generally, it’s a good idea to replace your lifting shoes when they show signs of excessive wear, such as a worn-out sole or compromised support.
Investing in a quality pair of shoes for squats and deadlifts can dramatically improve your performance, comfort, and safety during your workouts. By understanding the key features of a good squat and deadlift shoe and exploring the top options available, you can make an informed decision and find the perfect pair to suit your needs. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a versatile option or a seasoned lifter seeking specialized footwear, the right shoes can make all the difference in your training journey. | sports |

Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund: TV Info, Preview, Team News and Prediction
Manchester City welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad on Tuesday night for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Pep Guardiola’s men go into the clash as strong favourites, having won 25 of their last 26 matches in all competitions, while Dortmund are struggling to make top four in Germany.
However, the visitors have Champions League goal machine Erling Haaland in their ranks, as rumours continue to swirl about a potential Premier League move this summer.
England fans will also have their eye on Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, although former City star Jadon Sancho is out through injury.
The match will take place at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, April 6 – with kick-off at 8pm.
Dom McGuiness will bring you updates from the match on talkSPORT alongside our full coverage of Real Madrid vs Liverpool.
Man City vs Borussia Dortmund: TV channel and live stream
The game will be shown live on BT Sport 3, with coverage underway from 7:15pm.
BT Sport subscribers can live stream this match via the app on their computer, mobile and tablet devices.
The quadruple-chasing Premier League leaders have no fresh fitness concerns following Saturday’s victory at Leicester.
Dortmund star Sancho will not face his former club due to a thigh problem, while Dan-Axel Zagadou and Axel Witsel are also out for the visitors.
Man City vs Borussia Dortmund: What’s been said
City boss Guardiola: “The only thing I can say is that, with his age, he [Haaland] is an exceptional striker. The numbers speak for themselves and he’s a fantastic player – that’s all.
To score that number of goals at his age is not easy to find. When that happens it’s because he can score with the right, the left, the counter-attacks, in the box.
He’s a fantastic striker, everyone knows it. A blind guy would realise he’s a good striker. It’s not necessary to be a manager to realise it.”
Dortmund manager Edin Terzic: “We need to be at the top of our game in both legs; on it from the first second to the last, and maybe for extra time too.
“To overcome Manchester City would be something special. Guardiola is undoubtedly one of the best coaches in the world.
Paramount+Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund meet at Etihad Stadium in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday with Pep Guardiola's men heavy favorites to progress. The Germans are struggling in the Bundesliga while City are running away with the Premier League and UCL qualification is far from guaranteed for Edin Terzic's side. Making matters harder for Dortmund is the fact that star man Erling Haaland is suffering from an uncharacteristic dry spell of late and is now without a goal in four games. Can BVB get the Norwegian firing again and put in a strong performance to keep this alive for leg two?
Manchester City vs. Dortmund and every Champions League match is streaming on Paramount+. Here is how you can watch the match and what to know:
Man City: On a run of five consecutive victories since they lost to bitter rivals United, the Cityzens have disposed of Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League and opened up a provisional 14-point advantage in the Premier League. Guardiola's men are overwhelming favorites to advance to the semifinals but have had setbacks in the past when in a similarly favorable scenario. The winner will face defending champions Bayern Munich or last season's runners-up Paris Saint-Germain and that should, logically, be City.
Dortmund: The Germans have won just one of their last five and are seven points off the top four in the Bundesliga after a 2-1 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt over the weekend. With Haaland off the boil and UCL qualification hopes fading fast, Terzic and his players have no choice but to throw everything at City. BVB did unexpectedly hit form away at Sevilla earlier in the year and are capable of hurting even the best sides on the continent. However, this feels like a tall order on paper.
City to win but Dortmund to give it everything they have to keep it alive ahead of the return leg. Pick: City 2-1 Dortmund.
Having made light work of Leicester at the weekend, Manchester City turn their attention to the Champions League and the first leg of their quarter-final versus Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
The Premier League leaders faced Bundesliga opponents in the last round - cruising past Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 over the two legs. This time, they'll be facing Erling Haaland, one of the hottest strikers in world football and a player they've been heavily linked with.
While Pep Guardiola's side are hoping to secure what would be an incredible quadruple, make no mistake about it - this is the trophy that would crown all of their achievements to date under the Catalan's leadership.
Dortmund have struggled in the German top flight this season and find themselves in fifth place. However, they have plenty of exciting talent at their disposal and are capable of causing anybody problems.
The Premier League champions-elect have a fully fit squad to select from. However, there are a couple of players who are one yellow card away from a suspension that would rule them out of the second leg - namely Joao Cancelo and Fernandinho.
City are expected to make changes from the side that won at the weekend. Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and John Stones were all left on the bench and could come into the starting XI.
Borussia Dortmund team news
Sancho will miss the first leg against his former club through injury | Lars Baron/Getty Images
Jadon Sancho has been ruled out of the first leg with a thigh injury, but Dortmund are hopeful he'll be available for the second half of the tie. Dan-Axel Zagadou and Axel Witsel are also injured.
Haaland is just a booking away from suspension but will start regardless. Jude Bellingham and Emre Can are also in contention.
Manchester City: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Mendy; Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Silva, Sterling, Foden.
Borussia Dortmund: Hitz; Can, Akanji, Hummels, Guerreiro; Delaney, Bellingham, Dahoud; Hazard, Haaland, Reus.
anchester City tonight renew their bid to win a first ever Champions League crown against a Borussia Dortmund side struggling for form, despite Erling Haaland in their forward line.
City have won 26 of their last 27 games in all competitions and remain on course to win an unprecedented quadruple, though there will be interest in Pep Guardiola’s tactics after past accusations of overthinking his approach in the biggest games.
And the Champions League will be the main focus for Guardiola & Co. in the remaining weeks of the season, with the Premier League all but wrapped up and a League Cup Final already secured.
Dortmund, meanwhile, may not even be in next season’s Champions League, with Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt leaving them seven points behind fourth-place Frankfurt.
Speculation over Haaland’s future cannot be helping, with City just one of a number of club’s keen to sign the striker, who is the Champions League’s top scorer this season with 10 goals.
Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Tuesday, April 6, 2021.
The match will be held behind closed doors at Etihad Stadium.
Live stream: BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch the match online via the website or BT Sport app.
Pep Guardiola has a fully fit squad to choose from. John Stones, Joao Cancelo, Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden and Ilkay Gundogan should all come in after being rested against Leicester City.
Cancelo and Fernandinho are one booking away from missing the second leg through suspension.
There will be no reunion for Jadon Sancho, with the Dortmund forward out with a thigh injury. Axel Witsel is also sidelined.
Jude Bellingham will be hoping to start, while Erling Haaland is also one booking away from suspension.
Manchester City predicted XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Mendy; Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Silva, Sterling, Foden
Borussia Dortmund predicted XI: Hitz; Can, Akanji, Hummels, Guerreiro; Delaney, Bellingham, Dahoud; Hazard, Haaland, Reus
Manchester City are probably the last team, across Europe, you want to face when in need of a win and struggling for confidence. But that’s where Dortmund stand at the moment. I can’t see past a City win, though never rule out some Haaland magic.
City have enjoyed a successful Champions League campaign, having won seven and drawn one of our eight games in Europe this season.
We head into the quarter-final having not conceded a Champions League goal in 11 hours and 35 minutes of football - the second longest run in the competition's history.
We booked our place in the quarter-final thanks to a 4-0 aggregate win over Borussia Monchengladbach in the Round of 16.
Our win at Leicester on Saturday means we have won 26 of our last 27 matches in all competitions.
The German side have also enjoyed a fruitful Champions League season, having lost just one of their eight games in this season's competition.
They come into the quarter-final having defeated Spanish outfit Sevilla, 5-4 on aggregate in the Round of 16.
On Saturday, they were beaten at home by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
Meanwhile, former Blue Jadon Sancho is unavailable for Dortmund with a muscle injury, and Dan-Axel Zagadou (knee) and Youssoufa Moukoko (foot) are also sidelined.
Interestingly, on Borussia’s official website, they have a 'how they might line up...' feature. Here's what they've gone for:
Manchester City's pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple continues on Tuesday when they welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad Stadium for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
Pep Guardiola's side easily overcame Borussia Monchengladbach to advance to the last eight, while Dortmund made hard work of their battle with Sevilla, but they eventually got over the line to set up a tie with City.
Benjamin Mendy celebrates scoring for Manchester City against Leicester City in the Premier League on April 3, 2021
Pep Guardiola has downplayed Man City's chances of securing a quartet of trophies this season, but the Premier League leaders are inching ever closer to their first crown of the season after a dominant 2-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday evening.
City could not make their dominance count in the first 45 minutes, but second-half strikes from Benjamin Mendy and Gabriel Jesus saw the runaway leaders move 17 points clear at the top of the rankings, and another four wins from their remaining seven matches would see them wrestle the crown off Liverpool after a phenomenal campaign.
Guardiola's dominance of the Premier League has been evident for the past few years, but the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss is still waiting for that elusive first Champions League crown at the Etihad, and the Manchester giants have seen their European journeys end in the quarter-finals three seasons in a row.
However, a routine 4-0 aggregate win over Monchengladbach saw City ease into the last eight of the tournament before the international break, and Guardiola's side have now kept seven Champions League clean sheets in succession.
Only Arsenal in the 2005-06 season have enjoyed a longer run without their defence being breached in the competition, and City enjoy playing Bundesliga sides too, as they have come up trumps in 10 of their last 11 meetings with German teams in the Champions League, but Dortmund and their much-coveted centre-forward are intent on upsetting the apple cart this week.
Erling Braut Haaland is gearing up to visit one of his many admirers this week, as the Norway international steps out onto the turf where the man he could very well be replacing - Sergio Aguero - has starred for the past 10 years.
Haaland has already broken the record for the quickest time to hit 20 goals in the Champions League, and having netted in his last six continental appearances for Dortmund, he could follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, Edinson Cavani and Ruud van Nistelrooy if he scores for the seventh game running at the Etihad.
That will be easier said than done against City's resilient rearguard, and Dortmund also go into this game following a worrying result in the Bundesliga, as Haaland drew a blank while Andre Silva popped up with a late winner for Eintracht Frankfurt in a 2-1 win for Adi Hutter's side on Saturday.
With a top-four finish looking increasingly unlikely for Edin Terzic's men, they must somehow attempt to go all the way in this season's Champions League, but the Black and Yellow have not advanced past the quarter-final stage since the 2012-13 season, where Bayern Munich beat them in the final.
Furthermore, Terzic's side have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four Champions League battles and only just scraped past Sevilla in the last-16 stage, as a 3-2 away triumph preceded a 2-2 draw in the second leg to see Dortmund progress 5-4 on aggregate.
Dortmund do travel to England unbeaten in seven in the Champions League, though, and the two sides have locked horns twice before in the 2012-13 group stage, where Man City held Dortmund to a 1-1 draw at home before losing 1-0 in Germany. | sports |

Fantasy Football is a highly popular online game in which you can create your own virtual team of real-life football players. These players play in real matches and earn points for your team. Your team competes against other fantasy football teams in online contests. The team with the maximum points wins the game. From the comfort of your home, you can play the online fantasy contests for major Football leagues such as FIFA, UEFA, NBA, EPL, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, NFL, etc on your web browser and win fabulous prizes.

You can even create your own private league to play with your family members or friends.
How to play fantasy football
To play, first of all, you need to create an account on a fantasy football app or website. Once joined, you can easily select a football match to participate in fantasy contests. As a fantasy team owner/manager, you can choose to play in a paid or practice contest.
Under the budget of 100 points, you need to build your football team of 15 players. Every player has a pre-determined point value based on his popularity and past performances. You have to recruit 5 defenders, 3 forwarders, 5 midfielders, and 2 goalkeepers to play the game.
Although it is quite simple to play a fantasy game, it is important to gain knowledge of the rules of football and the scoring system of the fantasy league before joining the contests.
How does your team earn points?
Your team scores points on the basis of the statistical performance of the players. When your selected player scores a goal, saves a penalty, intercepts a goal, etc on the field of play, your team earns points. If your players concede a penalty, miss a penalty, make a mistake that leads to a goal by the opponent, shoot off-target, or receive a red/yellow card, your team loses points.

By checking the past records of the player you want to add to your team, you can determine how he can help your team in defeating your opponents. As your budget is limited, along with the star players, you need to pay attention to those less-experienced but talented players who can score the highest points for your team.

Am 25. Juli 2010 hat er seinen ersten Ironman bestritten. Hier ist sein Erlebnisbericht:
I have just completed our first long distance triathlon, Ironman Switzerland. In recognition of the unique experience, here my somewhat lengthy race report. Sort of a small story about a perfect training PLAN that never quite worked out…
Well, we had quite some time for preparation. Given how quickly IM events sell out, you have to sign up as early as possible. The obvious choice with all the logistics involved is a race just steps away from your house. Why not Ironman Switzerland in Zurich? Oleksiy managed to convince me that after our first Olympic in 2008, and our first 70.3 in 2009, we should tackle the long distance in 2010. In Zurich. No matter what! Little later, we learnt that Abby, Becky and Fi had also signed up. Yeah.
Things started off promising: a nice training plan was put in place, I went riding to Lanzarote and Tenerife over the winter. - And then an endless series of unplanned mishaps set in: injuries (3 months no running due to muscle fibre rupture), family issues causing loads of travel, loads of business travel across Europe and to the US, eventually even my relocation to California, and finally a badly sprained foot and a broken baby toe just days before the big race. All in all much less training than planned, particularly on the swimming (no training for the last 2 or 3 months) and running side.
So what? Good thing is I had no illusions (but heaps of worries to disappoint my “fans”) – my plan was to take it easy and enjoy the whole thing no matter what. No pushing. Making sure my foot would survive with no massive extra damage. No time target (Ok, I did not want to go beyond 12 hours).
My broken toe would be a problem, for sure. Just days ago during a quick swim in the lake I had kicked into Fi – and almost blacked out due to the pain. Therefore, I decided to let the crowd go ahead during the swim. At the start signal I was still waiting at the beach, when everyone else had already swum to the starting line 50m into the lake.
Bad decision though! Despite my lack of training I was still much faster than a lot of the other folks. Which meant already at the first buoy 600m from the start I found myself in the middle of the crowd, with all the things I had wanted to avoid: breast strokers, punching, kicking. Same at the next buoys and the short walk before the second loop.
Out of the water after 1:15 h.
Transition. Bummer – not many bikes left in the transition area. I ripped off my wetsuit, put on my cycling gear, walked to the bike start (remember the toe!). Started cycling – learnt that I should have done a test ride in the morning before the start. Something was wrong – my bike computer’s speed pod was banging against the spokes! Only for 100 meters, though – then it fell off with a last huge bang. Which made me notice one more thing: my left ankle was blank. Where was my chip? Ah, that’s why it had taken so much energy to get out of my wetsuit? – No time to think. Go, go, go!
I know we all had told each other over and over again not to go to fast, to take it easy during the ride to avoid exhaustion. But I felt good. Why was everyone else so much slower? No time to think – go, go, go! Cycling was a pleasure. First loop finished after 2:36h. Quick stop at Penalty Box to tell the folks I had lost my chip and just completed my first round. (My biggest worry was they would tell me after the race they had no evidence I had done the cycling).
Back on the route for loop 2. Still feeling amazingly good. No problems, even on the climbs. Second stop at penalty box (to tell them I had completed my second round). Off the bike: 5:15 hours for the 180km. Yeah. And my toe was not hurting at all!
Changed to running gear, put on my chip. Quickly iced my toe. Someone was calling me from the fence – Andy was there with a huge poster saying “Go get them Stormy Normy”. It’s these moments when I love my friends the most. Thanks all for your support ;-) And my toe was not hurting at all. Hold on, first step of the run – and there it was immediately, the bad pain of the broken toe - Ouch! After 100 meters I noticed another thing: As usual, I had forgotten my hat. Must be a routine by now!
Pushed by my many (amazing!) friends along the track the first half of the Marathon went well, nonetheless. Then, the last 15km became a torture. A combination of toe pain, lack of training and exhaustion set in and I had to walk every now and again. However, giving up was never an option! Last few meters. Finish. 10 hours 47 with loads of potential to improve.
1) Would I recommend doing it with a broken toe? Been there, done that. Next time I try the version without the bit of extra pain.
2) Never count on the next year looking like the last one. A plan never works out the way it should.
3) Stay determined. There is always an indefinite number of reasons for not completing a mission, but achieving the goal nonetheless is a reward in itself. This weak body of ours is capable of achieving incredible things.
4) Be relaxed. Take your time during transition (chip, hat, etc).
5) Food. I definitely learnt a lot! On the bike, I need to eat more bars. Gels don’t provide enough energy and seem to screw up my stomach for the run. Taking a salt tablet every two hours was the right thing to do. Drinking too much coke/isotonic drinks during the run was not. Fruits and nuts are a no go in the future!
6) Heat. I am not a warm weather person. My ideal race temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, especially during the run. Not a lot I can change here – except for carefully choosing my races. Constantly cooling my body with water during ride and run helped a lot, too.
7) Know your gear. "Fortunately", I had a puncture just on the day before the race. Why fortunately? Well, I had forgotten I had tubulars rather than clinchers on my race wheels!
I have never had the feeling that I did not want to do another one. In fact, particularly during the run I constantly imagined how many minutes I could save during my next race. Next year – after I have learnt to walk again ;-)
Day of Pain, Day of Glory. – What’s next?

But awards and statistics tell only a portion of this NBA Hall of Famer, who died peacefully Sunday, according to a statement from his family. He was 88.
One line in the statement from his family spoke volumes about his achievements: he was the most prolific winner in American sports history. They were making reference to Russell’s incomparable 11 NBA titles with the Boston Celtics, eight of them consecutively, thereby surpassing the New York Yankees’ five straight World Series championships; and the Montreal Canadiens’ five straight Stanley Cup titles.
Few could speak with absolute authority of Russell’s prowess like Red Auerbach, his coach and mentor. For him Russell was “the single most devastating force in the history of the game.” There is a long list of numbers to back up this comment, including five-time NBA MVP and 12-time All-Star. He wasn’t much of a scorer but his athleticism, his speed and vertical extension made him an impregnable defensive player. And his being left handed gave him an added advantage against the majority of right handed players, such as Wilt Chamberlain, and their battles were classic.
Add the number of rebounds, assists, and blocked shots, which were not tabulated during his career, and you have a formidable team player, to say nothing of his savvy and understanding of how to run the court, set up a pick and roll, and hustle back down the court. In his 1979 book “Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man,” with Taylor Branch, he wrote this about his defense of the almost unstoppable Oscar Robertson. “When he hesitated near the foul line for the jump shot, I would take a step toward him, faking a move to block his shot or steal the ball. But what I really wanted him to do was to take the opening to drive by me for a lay-up, and I’d be able to recover in time to black the shot.”
He was even more successful at University of San Francisco, where he captained the team and led them to back-to-back NCAA championships. His teammate was K.C. Jones, who would later join him on the Celtics. The two inseparable players would also lead the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in Melbourne in 1956.
A most impressive pattern was established and it would continue for them right into the green uniforms in Boston. And the rest of the league soon learned what a lethal combination they were, and near the end of their remarkable streak of victories, Russell became the coach, the first Black coach or manager in any major sports team in the nation.
Upon hearing of Russell’s death, Michael Jordan, widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time, said, “Bill Russell was a pioneer—as a player, as a champion, as the NBA’s first Black head coach, and as an activist. He paved the way and set an example for every Black player who came to the league after him, including me. The world has lost a legend. My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.”
Similar sentiments were expressed by former president Barack Obama, who awarded Russell the Medal of Freedom in 2011. “Today we lost a giant,” Obama tweeted. “As tall as Bill Russell stood, his legacy rises far higher—both as a player and as a person. Perhaps more than anyone else, Bill knew what it took to win and what it took to lead.
On the court, he was the greatest champion in basketball history. Off of it, he was a civil rights trailblazer—marching with Dr. King and standing with Muhammad Ali.” And there is a photo that has Russell seated with Ali, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Jim Brown, in support of Ali’s refusal to serve in the military.Russell possessed an infectious laugh, a delightful sense of humor, and always carried himself with dignity and respect for others, at the same time totally in control of his own inadequacies and his ego, as he wrote in “Second Wind.” “I’ve tried to handle my ego the way I would any other part of my character: to acknowledge it but not to let it control me or make me into something I don’t like,” he wrote. “All of us have prejudices that grow out of our egos, but that’s natural. Show me a person with no prejudice and I’ll show you a person with no taste. The struggle is to keep prejudice from turning into bigotry and hatred.” | sports |

Let’s relive how the daring move unfolded, its impact on the MotoGP championship fight, rider reaction, and why it represents a career-defining moment for Martin.
Building to a Last-Lap Showdown
Heading into the final lap at the picturesque Phillip Island circuit, the stage was set for a duel for the ages between pole-sitter Jorge Martin on the Prima Pramac Racing Ducati and Francesco Bagnaia on the official Factory Ducati bike.
From the start, Martin and Bagnaia broke away from the pack as the race’s dominant riders, trading the lead multiple times across 27 laps. But Bagnaia maintained the upper hand, rebuffing each of Martin’s challenges.
Entering the final lap, Bagnaia led by just 0.224 seconds, with Martin glued to his rear wheel. To have any hopes of victory, Martin would need to make a decisive move fast. The battle was poised for a heart-stopping climax.
Analyzing the Chess Match for Position
Throughout the MotoGP race, Martin strategically positioned himself to launch his final strike. Here is how he gained the advantage:
- Strong start – Martin immediately passed Jack Miller and sloted behind Bagnaia in 2nd off the line. This allowed stalking his rival.
- Mirroring strategy – Each time Bagnaia pitted, Martin followed into the pits the very next lap, never allowing the gap to extend.
- Finding pace – Midway through the race, Martin dug deep and lapped faster than Bagnaia, signaling he had speed to make a move.
- Psychological pressure – Martin’s constant presence in Bagnaia’s mirrors played mind games, forcing concentration.
- Tire management – Martin conserved his soft rear tire early on, so it had life left for a final attack at full power.
These calculated decisions put Martin in the perfect spot to pounce heading into the Australian GP’s final lap.
Executing an All-Time Overtaking Maneuver
Having set the stage, Jorge Martin still needed to pull off the most difficult part – actually making the winning pass. Here is how he delivered:
- Closing in out of Turn 10 – Martin matched Bagnaia’s speed onto the Gardner Straight, pulling directly behind.
- Riding the limit into Turn 11 – Approaching the high-speed corner, Martin braked brutally late, his tires at the very edge of grip.
- Committing down the inside – Martin dove his bike hard down the inside as Bagnaia took the normal racing line.
- Leaning at extreme angles – Martin and Bagnaia leaned their bikes up to 64 degrees, almost scraping elbows at 180+ mph.
- Making the pass stick – Martin slid his rear tire sideways and edged just past Bagnaia’s front wheel to grab the lead!
It was an overtake executed with absolute inch-perfect precision at death-defying speed. Only elite MotoGP riders possess the skill and bravery to attempt such a high-risk move – and Martin succeeded with masterful elegance.
Bagnaia’s Failed Last-Ditch Response
As Martin careened past heading into Turn 11, Francesco Bagnaia made a gallant attempt to reclaim the lead by turning hard inside.
But at such extreme lean angles, Bagnaia could not make his bike stick or drive the necessary acceleration to fight back past Martin’s Ducati. Within the next two turns, Martin had opened up just enough of a gap to make the pass definitive.
Still, Bagnaia’s desperate counter demonstrated his refusal to surrender and determination to contend for the victory until the absolute last moment. On another day, the battle may have ended differently. But in Australia, the win belonged to Martin.
Analyzing the Championship Implications
While Martin’s victory showcased his phenomenal talent, it also may have decided the overall 2022 MotoGP title in favor of Bagnaia.
By minimizing his losing margin, Bagnaia extended his lead to 14 points over Fabio Quartararo with just two races remaining. Without those 2 critical points, his buffer would sit at 12.
Since neither Quartararo nor Aleix Espargaro finished on the Australia podium, Martin’s pass ironically benefited Bagnaia in the big picture by limiting lost ground. This makes Bagnaia the clear favorite to clinch the 2022 MotoGP championship.
Glimpsing the Mindset Behind Martin’s Legendary Overtake
In interviews afterwards, Jorge Martin provided fascinating insights into his mindset and whether he had any hesitation before making the hair-raising pass:
“You don’t think too much about the risk at that moment. Just focus and believe in yourself.”
This quote sums up the laser mental focus of elite racers – once committed to an overtake, all concentration narrows to flawless execution. Doubt must disappear.
“I knew it would be the only possibility I would have to overtake Pecco [Bagnaia], into Turn 11 braking super late. I just went all in.”
Here, Martin confirms he knew taking an aggressive line into Turn 11 gave his only chance at victory. It was all-or-nothing.
“You have to be fully committed and not think of the risks.”
As stated here clearly, victory demands total commitment to the moment. Martin explains there is no time for hesitation. Being a champion means embracing risk.
These insights only amplify the respect earned by MotoGP riders who constantly balance extreme speed and danger. It takes uncommon mental strength.
Bagnaia’s Response Demonstrates MotoGP’s Spirit
In the aftermath, runner-up Francesco Bagnaia was full of praise and respect for Martin’s courage:
“Jorge did an incredible maneuver, going on the limit at Turn 11. When someone does an overtake like this, you have to say chapeau [hats off], because it was perfect.”
This gracious reaction demonstrates the tremendous sportsmanship and camaraderie within the MotoGP paddock. Bagnaia acknowledged he could not have defended any better against Martin’s flawless pass.
Jorge Martin’s daring last-lap overtake will be etched in MotoGP’s history books as an iconic example of brave, split-second judgment succeeding at extreme speed. It proved a satisfying victory for an ascendant talent.
Why Jorge Martin’s 2022 Comeback Has Been Inspirational
While Martin’s win came as no shock given his immense talent, the victory carries extra significance based on his 2022 season narrative.
Earlier in the season, Martin endured frightening crashes resulting from a condition called diplopia, which causes double vision.
After extensive treatment and recovery, Martin stormed back in September to earn pole position at the San Marino MotoGP. However, he crashed again during the race itself from the lead.
In the following months, Martin slowly rebuilt his confidence. His Australia win represents the full comeback completion, proving he can compete for championships again. It is a profound personal triumph over adversity.
Martin called the victory “the most special and emotional win” of his career. After his journey this year, that symbolism makes his achievement resonate so powerfully.
The Lasting Historical Significance of Martin’s Overtake
Looking back decades from now, Jorge Martin’s final lap maneuver in Australia will remain entrenched as one of MotoGP’s most iconic moments. It demonstrated the absolute pinnacle of skill and bravery that makes motorcycle grand prix racing beloved worldwide.
In a championship battle, Martin could have settled for second. Instead, he risked everything to seize greatness. This will be Jorge Martin’s enduring legacy.
The move sets a new benchmark that future young MotoGP riders will dissect and attempt to emulate. But only a handful in history possess both the technical ability and steely mindset to replicate Martin’s split-second mastery.
When remembering the legendary last lap in Australia 2022, we witnessed the evolution of motorcycle racing itself. Jorge Martin embodies the relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries further. That makes this triumph timeless.
Jorge Martin’s charge into MotoGP legend with his extraordinary Turn 11 overtake caps a comeback story for the ages. It also may have tipped the championship balance irreversibly.
But more significantly, Martin’s victory represents a landmark triumph of human skill and willpower. Under immense pressure, he executed flawlessly.
Simply put, this pass symbolizes what makes racing the breathtaking spectacle it remains today. Moments like this are why we never look away. Jorge Martin’s legend will only grow from here.

https://keepitmovingproject.com/2022/04/02/training-while-injured-whether-to-run-or-rest/ | 2023-05-28T02:01:13 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224643462.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20230528015553-20230528045553-00628.warc.gz | 0.97335 | 892 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__75186786 | en | Part of my impetus to get “back” in shape – what initiated this Keep it Moving Project – was the fact that I was dealing with both illness and injury. I had surgery for an umbilical hernia (my second surgery) in October 2019, and I also have a chronic knee injury (related to running, but now turning into arthritis).
Besides injury and illness, I was in my mid- 50s – a time of life when it is both increasingly difficult to stay fit and strong (it takes more and more effort, and you are no longer actually likely to improve at much!) and increasingly difficult to heal from injury. So you must be much more cautious in your training!
Should I even be running with my knee injury?
Deciding whether or not to run with an injury will be different for every person. Everyone’s injury is unique.
Also, each person’s goals, and their acceptance of risk, will be different. An elite athlete may consider the risk of further injury worthwhile if they know they have the chance of winning gold, and train through an injury in the hope it will be OK. Whereas someone like me, who is not in the running to win anything, and who values having a healthy and active outdoor lifestyle for a few more decades, probably doesn’t want to risk much at all.
First of all, you need to listen to your own body. You can probably tell (even if you don’t want to admit it!) whether your training is aggravating your injury or not.
Then, also, listen to your doctor, and to any other medical professionals who are treating you. If they recommend time off, they probably have good reason to advise that, and you should listen.
Training with a chronic injury
In the case of my knee injury, it has been on-going for over ten years now. It started as classical “runner’s knee” (properly known as patellofemoral pain syndrome, or PFP), and then into a rare injury called popliteal tendinitis (both of these ultimately from me pushing too hard – oops).
Now it is probably mainly arthritis caused by those old injuries.
So I know my knee injury well. It is old, it is chronic, and I know what aggravates it. Luckily for me, the main thing that aggravates it is NOT exercising. This is the case for a lot of chronic injuries! Sedentary living makes things worse.
So I know that if I keep my muscles working – both strong and balanced – through regular exercise, my knee actually works great! (And – with age comes wisdom – I also know not to push it TOO hard).
Training with an acute injury
An acute injury is a completely different story. An acute injury is one that is new and recent. (What is recent? It could be something you did yesterday, or a few weeks ago – but not on-going and chronic).
In most cases, an acute injury needs rest – at very least for a few days and, depending on the injury, maybe for a few weeks. If you start using the injured joint or muscle too soon, you risk (at best) slowing the healing process down, and possibly even turning that acute injury into a lifelong, chronic injury.
That’s why I am not running this week. My training has gone well so far. I am feeling fit and strong, and I have been pushing to run some of my regular trail loops a bit faster. But now my ankles are hurting!
I don’t know what’s up with my ankles, but that’s an example of an acute injury. So I am taking a little break from the running, to make sure that they don’t get any worse – and so this issue does not become chronic. Instead of running, I am continuing my training by doing some fast walks on the trails with the dog (always fun!) and then coming home to do some squats, to keep building my muscle without causing impact on my ankles.

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
By Louise Browne
FINGLAS SWAGGER TO INTERMEDIATE GLORY
Finglas retained the Intermediate Rounders title after beating their school colleagues Coláiste Eoin in an all Dublin 11 affair in Wednesday’s SCC Rounders finals held in Plunket College on the Swords Road.
Needing six runs to win going into the third and final innings Finglas were quick off the mark through Michael Chabaski, Captain Sean Pouche, Seamus Doyle and Toby Chabaski.
Anthony Philips levelled the game at 15-15 a piece before Doyle stepped up to bat. The Finglas student’s low drive brought home their captain Pouche to record a Finglas 16-15 victory.
In the red corner Finglas were pitted against Coláiste Eoin in the blue corner with their coach Ciara Smart, who won the MVP, keeping tabs on both teams throughout a tightly contested final.
Coláiste Eoin were first to bat in the three innings three out final and put a healthy six points on the score board before being run out, the best coming from James Kearns who scored a home run.
Finglas responded well and despite losing their first batsman Seamus Doyle before Stephen Gerathy’s high hit was plucked out of the sky by out fielder Jason Deegan and Anthony Philips being run out, they took a 9-6 lead into the second innings.
Eoin where put on the back foot when Deegan, Oskar Pietarzak and Michael Brady where quickly run out to finish their innings with a narrow 10-9 advantage. Finglas could only muster up a single score leaving the side’s tied 10-10 heading into the final phase.
Coláiste Eoin found their feet again with a home run from Pietarzak, following a wonderful out field hit from the Finglas student, to finish 15-10 to the good before their opponents saw out the game.
SWEET SUCCESS FOR DHULAIGH
In the junior final Coláiste Dhulaigh got the better of Cabra’s Coláiste Eanna 6-5 in an engaging final under blue skies while it wasn’t all disappointment for Cabra as Gerard O’Doherty was awarded the junior MVP.
Dhulaigh stepped up to bat knowing three runs would seal the win but Cabra had other ideas taking out John Darling and Mark Browne to hold their 5-3 advantage.
Moments later Cabra had a wonderful opportunity to win the game but Peter Walsh dropped a high ball before Dhulaigh’s captain Glen McCabe added a run.
With the game tied at 5-5 and two players out tensions were high before the smallest player on the Dhulaigh team Shelly Maughan stepped up to bat.
With Darren Cahalin on third base Maughan’s hit did just enough to see Cahalin home for the all important run to seal a one point victory for the Coolock School. Cabra were first to bat in the two innings final but failed to register any runs thanks to fine pitching and out field play from Dhulaigh, particularly McCabe and Jamie Andrews.
Dhulaigh scored three runs in their first innings thank to runs from Andrews, Mark Browne and McCabe.
Cabra found their feet in the second innings putting five runs on the score board; the pick of them was O’Doherty’s home run on the back of an excellent out field hit. But it was Dhulaigh who had the last say in an exciting junior final.
DOUBLE DELIGHT FOR COLAISTE EOIN
Coláiste Eoin won their second piece of silverware when their minor team led by David Keenan along with a fantastic performance from MVP David Robinson overcame Coláiste Dhulaigh 8-6 in the minor rounders final.
The Finglas School held an 8-4 lead after their two innings while Dhulaigh knew five runs of their final innings would hand them the title. Eoin got off to the perfect start with pitcher Keenan catching Michaela O’Brien’s hit.
Moments later Dhulaigh’s captain Paul Duffy followed O’Brien into the dugout before Michaela McCarthy was brought home by an excellent hit and home run from Andrew McCabe leaving just two runs between the sides.
With two players out and trailing 8-6 Dhulaigh were living on the edge and were given a second lifeline when Eoin’s Daniel Cirpaci failed to hold Shannon Duffy’s high hit.
But there was nothing Dhulaigh could do when fine base play from Coláiste Eoin saw the Finglas School get their third player out, game over, minor title in the bag.
Eoin had put six runs on the score board in their first innings with Keenan, Robinson, Michaela Gaffney and Kelly Geoghegan leading the charge.
Dhulaigh cut the deficit to 6-4 through Duffy, Eric Meehan, Shannon Duffy and O’Brien prior to Harry Pike and Cirpaci runs in their second innings gave Coláiste Eoin an 8-4 lead.

Within the past decade and a half, a total of 1,800 events took place here, attracting about 1 million visitors every year.
Besides concerts and shows, mainly major sporting events take place in both locations. The two halls were originally built as part of Berlin's application for the 2000 Olympic Games. Today, the Max-Schmeling-Halle is home to not one but two successful national league teams: the handball team of Füchse Berlin and the current German national volleyball champions Berlin Recycling Volleys. Both teams see a strong connection between their own success stories and the home advantage which comes about because of the arena's bowl type atmosphere. The Velodrom, on the other hand, is the stage for the famous Berlin 6-day race. To date, 19 World Championships and five European Championships in many sports have taken place at the two venues.
Thanks to their functional flexibility and modern architecture, both halls can meet the needs of the most extraordinary event concepts. The unique selling point of the Velodrom is its futuristic design and its unsupported steel roof.
Events taking place in the Max-Schmeling-Halle also do their bit to save the environment, because due to sustainable management, the hall enables an environmentally friendly way of running events. In 2011, the hall by the Mauerpark was awarded the Green Globe certification for the second year in a row. | sports |

This team has never been an easy opponent even for the strongest teams in the world. Many fans who understand and place bets in mostbet-apk-uz.club also evaluate Uruguay as a dark horse that can “shoot” at the upcoming World Cup. Consider the chances of the national team at the 2022 World Cup.
- First, let’s introduce you to this team a little:
- Uruguay qualified for the World Cup for the 14th time.
- In Qatar and in the group stage will play with South Korea, Portugal and Ghana.
- The Uruguay national football team became the first world football champion.
- In total, she has reached the top of the podium twice at the World Cup and 30 times at the Continental America’s Cup.
- The team has extensive experience of participating in international competitions.
- For the first time in 15 years, Uruguay will play in the World Cup not under the leadership of Oscar Tabares.
Uruguay’s path to the 2022 World Cup
Uruguay started the qualifying round in the CONMEBOL zone. All South American teams were in the same group. A total of 10 teams took part in the competition. In the group, the national team of Brazil and Argentina secured access to the world championship a little earlier than the rest of the rivals. The players of “La Celeste Olímpica” took 3rd place. They lost to Brazil and Argentina, and one game to Bolivia, after which there was a change of coach in the national team. Oscar Tabares was replaced by Diego Alonso. Under the guidance of the new coach, the Uruguayans won matches against Paraguay, Venezuela, Peru and Chile and received 12 points out of 12 possible. Thus, it was Diego Alonso who ensured that the Uruguayans entered Qatar.

Uruguay’s opponents at the 2022 World Cup in Group H
The Uruguayans are in Group H, where the teams of Portugal, Ghana and South Korea will become opponents. The schedule looks like this:
- November 24th. Uruguay-South Korea.
- November 28. Uruguay-Portugal.
- December 2nd. Uruguay-Ghana.
As you can see, there are two clear favorites and 2 outsiders in this group. The Uruguayans will start from the match with South Korea, where Diego Alonso’s team has every chance to get 3 points and gain a foothold in the group of leaders. It is possible that the fate of the second place will be decided in the last match between Uruguay and Ghana.
Bets and odds
According to the quotes of the bookmakers, it becomes clear that the Uruguay national team has excellent chances of qualifying from the group for the 2022 World Cup. The probability of reaching the playoffs is estimated at about 68% (odds 1.45), while the
Portuguese national team has an 85% chance of the same success (odds 1.17).
If we talk about the chances of “La Celeste Olímpica” in the first place, then judging by the quotes of bookmakers, they are few. The probability of winning in the group is estimated at only 28%, with a coefficient of 3.2.
The national team of Uruguay will play in the final stage of the World Cup for 4 times in a row. And 3 times in a row, the team goes to the 1/8 finals. At the 2010 World Cup, the Uruguayans took 4th place, at the 2014 World Cup they lost in the 1/8 finals, at the 2018 World Cup they reached the quarterfinals. Given the current strength of the team, it is highly likely that the Uruguayans will be able to qualify from the group and do it quite easily. Still, the national teams of South Korea and Ghana are far from the teams that can cause problems for the strong Uruguayan team.
In the fight for 1st place in the group, it will be very difficult for Uruguay against the Portuguese, and the fate of leadership will most likely be decided in a face-to-face meeting. The way forward for the Uruguay national team will not be so easy, as the second-placed team in Group H will most likely face Brazil in the 1/8 finals. Thus, suppose that Uruguay will not go beyond the 1/8 finals at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. | sports |

The MODe team is thrilled to announce the addition of Ashlee Evans-Smith, also known as "Rebel Girl" among the MMA crowd. Ashlee is a professional UFC fighter, passionate vegan, and now MODe enthusiast. She was introduced to MODe through a friend, tried the products and recently reached out to us to learn more. As a devout vegan, she has struggled to find the right performance nutrition that meets all of her needs. Well, until MODe. She loves the convenience, great taste, and training benefits (increased energy, no cramping and faster recovery time). "MODE is the perfect addition to my diet and lifestyle. I am using this amazing system of product to get the best version of me," said Ashlee.
This 5'8" 135-pound powerhouse has a pro record of 5-2 and is currently ranked #15 in the world in WMMA. In short, she's badass.
Ashlee began her career as the only girl on her high school's wrestling team. She credits some of her success to having to train and beat the boys on a regular basis over the course of her three years on the team. She won three State Champ titles (2002-2005) and was named Girl's Tri-State Champion (California, Washington, and Oregon).
Ashlee wrestled at the collegiate level for Menlo College from 2005-2009, was team captain, and a 4 time All-American, reaching 4th in the nation. Ashlee earned her degree in Communications and began to search for her next athletic chapter. She dabbled in rugby, but it wasn't until she met strength and conditioning coach, Eugene "The Wolf" Jackson. that she was introduced to MMA and she found her passion. Ashlee trained and fought under Jackson in 7 amateur fights. Ashlee relocated to Southern California and began training under UFC fighter, Mark Munoz at Reign Training Center in Lake Forest. She won her first 2 amateur fights in the 140lb belt category, including Tuff n Uff. After 9 amateur fights, Ashlee turned pro and signed with Miami-based Championship Fighting Alliance (CFA) and picked up her first two professional wins in the 145lb belt category.
Today, she fights for Team Oyama, under coach Colin Oyama, training alongside such athletes as UFC's Maron "Chito" Vera, Diego Rivas, Claudio Puelles and her bestie, Carla Esparza. She is surrounded by so much talent on the daily that her success is inevitable.
Ashlee is currently 2-2 in the UFC and is looking to make it 3-2 after her next fight on September 9th in Alberta, Canada against Sara "Cheesecake" Moras. We have no doubt that Ashlee will reach her full potential and become the "bantamweight champion of the world". Join us in cheering Ashlee on-- she gives our motto "kick butt" a whole new meaning. | sports |

Soccer Stats Tracker offers you that and then more – match and team statistics of 845 teams, from the 51 top leagues in the world, all the way since the 2000-2001 season.
England, Argentina, Italy, Spain, France, Germany… you name it. All the big soccer leagues, all the teams, all the results, at half time, at full time… All the data is there – all you have to do is query this massive database, analyze the results, and then make your informed decisions.

Soccer Stats Tracker includes information of all the matches played and their results in all the main soccer leagues in the world for the last twenty years. Note, however, that results, standings, and statistics from the current season are not always as up to date as one would wish, so you’ll have to rely on how the team you’re interested in performed in previous seasons.
You will find three main tabs in the program’s interface – Betting Statistics-Query, Betting Statistics-Tree, and Current Sequences. You’ll also find buttons for H2H Fixed, H2H Asian, Home/Away matches, and Standings, which you can access at any time from any of those tabs. You can also select the league, the season, home and away matches, number of matches, etc. The program will display all the results in colorful and easy-to-read tables. Besides these basic queries, you can make use of the program’s set of tools to check league and team tendencies, the latest results, and all the coming fixtures, as well as to access your Windows calculator directly or to get a list all possible betting combinations.
Soccer Stats Tracker requires no installation, which makes it a perfect portable tool that you can carry with you on a USB memory and use it anywhere anytime. It is totally free, and requires no learning curve, other than the time it may take you to familiarize with certain soccer terms. If you happen to be a soccer fan, or if you enjoy betting, I cannot but recommend you too highly to download this excellent piece of software and try it for yourself. | sports |

As diverse formats like Tests, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and T20s capture the imaginations of millions, cricket emerges not only as a source of passion but also as a promising avenue for sports betting. Navigating this complex realm requires more than mere luck; it demands a meticulously crafted playbook to augment the cricket betting IQ.
Understanding the Cricketing Landscape
Before delving into the nuances of cricket betting, it is imperative to acquire a profound understanding of the game itself. Cricket, with its various formats, demands distinct skill sets and strategies. Familiarity with the strengths and weaknesses of teams in different formats serves as the foundation for a successful betting strategy.
Factors Influencing Cricket Betting
Pitch conditions, team composition, player form, and head-to-head records are pivotal factors. Understanding these influences aids punters in making informed predictions, enhancing their cricket betting strategy.
Pitch and Conditions:
The playing surface, or pitch, significantly affects match outcomes. Grass-covered pitches aid fast bowlers, while dry and dusty ones favour spinners. Additionally, weather conditions influence ball movement and overall gameplay. Understanding the pitch conditions and how they align with a team’s strengths can offer valuable insights. For instance, a team with potent spinners may have an advantage on a dry, turning pitch.
Scrutinising team composition is crucial. Teams with a balanced mix of batsmen, bowlers, and all-rounders tend to perform well. Player injuries or substitutions can alter a team’s dynamics, necessitating up-to-date team news. Analyzing the team composition involves considering the recent performances of players in different roles. For instance, a team with a strong batting lineup but a weak bowling attack may struggle in high-scoring matches.
Player Form and Fitness:
Monitoring players’ recent performances and fitness levels is paramount. A batsman in good form or a bowler with a successful track record on a particular ground can tip the scales in their team’s favour. Punters need to delve into player statistics, looking not just at overall averages but also at recent performances. A player’s track record on specific grounds and against certain opponents provides valuable insights into their potential impact on a match.
Analysing historical team performances against each other provides valuable insights. Certain teams may hold a psychological edge over others, impacting their likelihood of success. Understanding the historical context of matchups is crucial. Some teams may consistently perform better against specific opponents due to factors like playing styles, team dynamics, or historical rivalries.
Cricket Betting Markets
Cricket presents a myriad of betting markets, offering punters numerous avenues for exploration. From conventional match-winner bets to more nuanced options, a deep understanding of these markets is fundamental for astute decision-making.
Popular Betting Markets
Match winners, top batsman/bowler, total runs/wickets, and in-play betting are popular markets. Each offers a unique betting experience, requiring astute analysis and a comprehensive understanding of cricket dynamics.
The simplest bet is where punters predict the team that will emerge victorious. Despite its simplicity, this market can offer value, particularly in closely contested matches. While straightforward, match-winner bets require an in-depth analysis of team form, player strengths, and match conditions. Close attention to recent performances and head-to-head records can aid in making informed predictions.
Top Batsman/Top Bowler:
Punters can bet on the player they believe will score the most runs or take the most wickets in a match. Informed choices are based on analysing players’ recent form and performance on specific grounds. This market involves a thorough analysis of individual player statistics, including recent form, historical performances, and their adaptability to the playing conditions of the particular match.
Total Runs/Total Wickets:
Predicting the total number of runs scored or wickets taken in a match adds an extra layer of excitement. Pitch conditions and team strengths play pivotal roles in these markets. Understanding the playing conditions and the strengths of the batting and bowling line-ups can help in making accurate predictions regarding the total runs or wickets in a match.
With technological advancements, in-play or live betting has gained popularity. Punters can place bets while the match is in progress, adjusting strategies based on real-time developments. In-play betting requires quick decision-making based on the ongoing match dynamics. Factors such as momentum shifts, player form during the match, and real-time conditions become crucial in this dynamic market.
Statistical Analysis and Research
In the realm of cricket betting, knowledge reigns supreme. Punters can significantly enhance their cricket betting IQ by incorporating statistical analysis and comprehensive research into their strategies.
Key Statistical Metrics
Player averages, team records, ground/pitch analysis, and weather conditions are key metrics. Punters leverage these statistics for insightful predictions, ensuring a data-driven approach to cricket betting.
Understanding batting and bowling averages provides insights into players’ consistency and effectiveness in various conditions. Player averages offer a quantitative measure of a player’s performance. It is essential to consider both home and away averages, as players may exhibit variations in their performances based on the playing conditions.
Delving into team statistics, including win-loss records in specific formats and against particular opponents, helps identify trends and patterns. Understanding a team’s historical performance provides context for its current form. Analyzing trends, such as consistent success against specific opponents or struggles in certain conditions, can inform betting decisions.
Ground and Pitch Analysis:
Different grounds possess unique characteristics that can impact match outcomes. Analysing past performances at a specific venue and the nature of the pitch provides a competitive edge. An in-depth analysis of historical performances at a particular ground helps in understanding the dynamics of that venue. Pitches with characteristics favouring either batsmen or bowlers can influence betting strategies accordingly.
Weather plays a pivotal role in cricket. Rain interruptions or windy conditions can alter match dynamics. Regularly checking weather forecasts is vital, especially for outdoor matches. Weather conditions can significantly affect the outcome of a cricket match. Monitoring forecasts ensures punters are aware of potential disruptions, helping them make informed decisions, especially in markets like total runs or player performance bets.
Bankroll Management and Responsible Betting
In the pursuit of enhancing cricket betting IQ, it is imperative not to overlook responsible betting practices and effective bankroll management.
Guidelines for Bankroll Management
Setting realistic budgets, diversifying bets, avoiding chasing losses, and staying informed is vital. Responsible bankroll management safeguards punters from financial risks, ensuring a sustainable and enjoyable betting experience.
Rather than concentrating all bets in one market, diversify across different markets. This approach helps mitigate risks and maximise potential returns. Diversification spreads the risk, reducing the impact of losses in any single market. Punters can explore different betting options based on their analysis, enhancing the overall risk-reward balance.
Avoid Chasing Losses:
Losses are part and parcel of betting. However, the key is not to impulsively increase bet sizes to recover losses. Stick to a predetermined strategy. Chasing losses often leads to irrational decision-making. Having a disciplined approach, where bet sizes are determined by a predefined strategy, prevents emotional reactions to losses and ensures consistent, logical betting.
In the ever-evolving landscape of cricket betting, punters armed with a comprehensive playbook and a profound understanding of the game’s dynamics stand a better chance of success. From grasping the cricketing landscape to delving into statistical analysis and practising responsible betting, every facet contributes to elevating one’s cricket betting experience from mere chance to calculated strategy. By amalgamating knowledge, research, and prudent decision-making, punters can transform the game into a more thrilling and rewarding experience. | sports |

However, these indicators alone cannot validate if a person is healthy and physically fit – or not. A critical process in the assessment of physical fitness levels is measuring body composition stats for muscle mass, fat mass, and water. The state of these bodily components aggregately draws a complete picture of fitness and health. If you want to measure and keep track of these vital indicators, body composition machines are available to provide accurate readings. You can even use the results to assess the progress of a workout program.
Photo by Pink Sherbet Photography
Consequently, Fun with Printer Crafts came up with a body composition monitor sheet. The form is intended as a weekly log of standard body composition data and is organized in a monthly tabular format that should allow the direct comparison of results through the Weekly Results Monitorcolumn. Separate columns are provided for the jot down of ideal results and the current status of indicators, whether it’s normal, above normal or below normal.
Measuring body composition stats on a weekly basis can be jointly pursued with the upkeep of printable workout logs. Results generated from body composition machines will serve as an effective measure of the efficiency of a cardio and workout program. Moreover, obtained body composition monitor data can help in the assessment of fitness programs and how these may be modified to satisfy body composition indicators.
Below is an overview of body composition components and its significance to an individual’s fitness and health standing.
Body Weight: Pertains to the aggregate measurement of fat and muscle mass in the body. Body weight is considered a simplistic indicator of fitness and health.
Body Fat Percentage: Refers to the percentage of weight that is made up of fat. Rating categorized as healthy, underfat, overfat or obese is dependent on sex, age and level of physical activity. See chart.
Leam Muscle Mass: This component covers the aggregate weight of skeletal muscles, muscle tissues and water in the body. Building healthy muscle mass is vital to metabolic functions and weight management.
Water Percentage: Muscle is composed of approximately 75% water. In order to build lean muscle mass, the body needs to be adequately hydrated. Healthy water percentage rates for men and women are 50 to 65% and 45 to 60% respectively.
Bone Mass: Bone mass percentage is the indicator of overall bone health. A low bone mass may mean that particular nutrients vital to bone health are amiss from the diet. See Bone Mass Reading chart.
Muscle Index: This component compares muscle mass to body fat. Maintaining healthy levels of muscle and fat, where muscle exceeds fat mass, is ideal. Find below the muscle index and determine muscle rating.
|Below Normal(Fat Exceeds Muscle)||Normal / Healthy||Above Normal / Excellent(Muscle Exceeds Fat)|
|Obese ( 1- 2)||Standard (5 )||Thin, Thin Muscular [7 to 8]|
|Solid, Untrained (3 – 4)||Standard Muscular (6)||Muscular (9)|
Basal Metabolic Rate: Indicates the caloric requirements of the body during periods of rest.
Metabolic Age: Reveals the age of your body in relation to overall health. A 30 year old male may get a metabolic age of say 26 or 27 while someone in his middle 20s could have a metabolic age of 45. The key to health is maintaining a metabolic age below the biological age.
Visceral Fat: Refers to the fat that surrounds the stomach area. Below is the index for this indicator.
|Normal (Excellent to Normal Levels)||1 to 8|
|Excess (Bad to Alarming Levels)||9 to over 12|

So, while fitness wearable trackers are continuing to add value to our fitness measures they are still not perfect in every regards. But barring a few aspects, wearable fitness bands really proved to be an invincible for modern fitness freaks. Let us explain here how wearable technology can help reducing weight and creating more value for the fitness minded individuals.
Accelerometers Getting Better
Accelerometers are being used to study physical activities by researchers for years, long before they have been adopted by mobile devices. But earlier they used to collect only limited information. Now thanks to advanced technology they can grab a wide spectrum of physical information. With the help of microprocessors this data can be stored and processed further. Thanks to this enhanced capability you can keep tap on the physical activities and related information more accurately than ever before. From distinguishing different activities and measuring them accurately, in all respects accelerometers are continuing to add value for fitness tracking.
Physical Activity Guidelines
With precision driven wearable fitness bands continuing to unleash their goodness for measuring activity and workouts, the guidelines for such activities is also on the verge of experiencing a bigger change. For instance, as per present day U.S. guidelines for physical activity an adult should at least have weekly 150 minutes of physical activity with an moderate level of intensity. The same measure translates to 75 minutes of activities with vigorous intensity. But this guideline lack any mention of light activities. Now with the new and enhanced measuring capabilities of accelerometers we can expect a renewed stress on light day to day activities as part of physical workout plan.
Let’s Look At Some Apps
Finally, how these new breed of fitness bands coupled up with plethora of connected mobile apps are changing the way we conceive fitness, we can see by looking at few applications.
You can determine the accuracy of yoga postures and measure the pressure on your muscles with an app like Smartmat which accomplishes this by using pressure sensors. Gymwatch is a kind of band that by being attacked to the leg or forearm of the weightlifter and being in sync with the connected mobile app can guide you on all aspects of weightlifting.
Back is another fitness tracker with sensor to track your waist and back movement in relation to the doctor recommended exercises.
BSX Insight lactate threshold sensor can conduct blood-lactate test while you are running, cycling and engaging in other activities.
Dexcom is another wonder wearable tracker that can accurately calculate blood sugar levels by drawing interstitial fluid from the body by inserting an imperceptible needle. The blood sugar data can be viewed on the connected iPhone app.
Sensoria is a Fitness Sock that by using textile pressure sensors offers real-time data and insights about your cadence and landing while running.
Lechal running shoe comes with insoles that can count burnt out calories, steps, distance, elevation, etc. while running. | sports |

The sport of surfing can be equally enjoyed by watching them and trying it yourself. Learn more about where to catch the best waves and where to take surf lessons in Maui, plus the best spots to see surfers in action with our Maui Surf Report.
Ride the waves here
For those of you want to test the waters with your surfing skills, we’ve gathered up some of the best places to surf in Maui for beginners.
Maui boasts more beginner surfing spots than any other Hawaiian Island. A good rule of thumb for beginners is to find a spot that is easily accessible and don’t try to surf waves any higher than three feet. Try one of these top 5 beginner surf breaks in Maui:
Beginner surf breaks
- The Cove at Kalama Beach – known as Maui’s little Waikiki
- Launiupoko – a family-friendly beginner surf spot in West Maui
- Breakwall –
- Kaanapali Beach – ranked as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, it is also a great way for a beginner surfer get started.
- Puamana Beach Park – just south of Lahaina, this break spot offers a short paddle out, allowing for many opportunities to ride the waves.
- Paia Bay – rarely surfable in the summer, Paia Bay is idyllic for beginner surfers looking to catch their first wave in the winter.
- Olowalu – located in West Maui, Olowalu might be one of the best surf spots for beginners. This is spot borders on an intermediate level so don’t make this your first time out.
Learn how to surf like a pro
Before you head out for your first time it might be wise to take a few surf lessons with a professional to learn the dos and don’ts of the sport.

Watch the pros
For professional surfers, winter is the optimal season to catch that perfect wave, boasting some of the biggest swells of the year. To watch pro surfers in action, head out to one of these legendary spots on Maui.
Often making the top 5 waves in the world list, Honolua Bay is one of the best places to watch pro surfers fight for bragging rights at this notorious spot.
Known for nothing short of fantastic waves, Hookpia Beach is a great place to get front row seats to some of the best surfers in the area. And because of the beach’s strong headwinds, it also makes a great spot for kite surfers and windsurfers.
Wherever there is a list of where you can find the biggest waves, Peahi will without a doubt be listed. Located on the north end of Maui, Peahi’s surf break comes with it a nickname of JAWS. Witness this notorious surf break for a show you will never forget.
Stay at Kahana Sunset
No matter where you are planning to ride the wave or watch those ride in on the next big one, make Kahana Sunset your home base for your next Maui vacation. Located on Maui’s blue shores of Keoni Nu’i Bay, our oceanfront condos offer amazing views, spacious living areas, and affordable rates. It truly doesn’t get any better than Kahana Sunset! | sports |
