History of Women in Sport in Australia National Policy History Sporting Attire Osteoporosis ... Links Australia was founded on pioneering spirit that encouraged a flourishing masculine culture while social etiquette supposedly restricted women to parlour games.

The Sportswoman , was published. World War II signalled the end of many of these dedicated publications and columns. Women did not truly re-enter sports journalism in any numbers until the 1980s ushered in anti-discrimination legislation. In the late 1980s Government moves helped open the door for more women to participate. In 1984 the Commonwealth Sex Discrimination Act was passed followed by several state equal opportunity acts. It made it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the grounds of sex, marital status or pregnancy. Sporting clubs were forced to open an option of full membership to women. A major initiative came the following year with the establishment of the federal government working group on women in sport whose report in 1985 titled Women, Sport and the Media

My parents, Alistair and Pat have retired and now live at Coffs Harbour on the NSW north coast. Dad enjoys fishing and lawn bowls, whilst mum keeps busy with her regular craft markets and line dancing. My Family - Jarrod, Dad, Susan, Magnus, Robbo, Mum, Kristian, Kerrie and Jane Early sporting days In my younger years I enjoyed many sports, cricket, AFL football, squash, tennis, golf and ran competitively at high school (but, only because they made me!) I quickly became bored with just running. My first Triathlon in 1992 The multi-sport of triathlon was very appealing and it quickly became my passion. Success came with a variety of wins at junior level, including the National Tour. After completing secondary school at Mazenod College (1993), I worked as an apprentice electrician for 2 years. It wasn't until I won both the Australian Sprint and Olympic Distance Titles (as a junior) that I decided that I had what it would take to turn professional. I left my apprenticeship and decided to train full-time.

Click below for reg. form Word Doc. .PDF File History The San Francisco Olympic Club is the oldest athletic Club in the United States. It was founded on May 6, 1860 in a firehouse downtown in the still-new city by 23 young men whose number included artists, writers, lawyers, businessmen, working men, firemen, miners, immigrants and adventurers. This diversity did then and continues now to give this extraordinary institution a special egalitarian character. But for all of the variety, Club members hold in common a single consuming passion for athletic excellence. And few organizations the world over have sent forth so many stellar athletes or so many who have registered "firsts" in their sports. The earliest of these innovators was James J. Corbett, who as boxing's "Gentleman Jim" dethroned as World Heavyweight Champion the Great John L. Sullivan. In doing so he revolutionized his sport by demonstrating that a "scientific boxer" could whip a slugger. The Olympic Club also spawned in J. Scott Leary the first American to swim (in 1905) one hundred yards in 60 seconds flat and in Ralph rose the first shot putter (in 1909) to exceed 50 feet. The Club's Maurice McLoughlin was the first successful practitioner of the "Big Game" of serve and volley in tennis, and he won the U.S. Singles Championship in 1912 and 1913. He was succeeded by his Clubmate, William "Little bill" Johnston, who won the title in 1915 and '19, as well as Wimbledon in 1923. The Olympic Club's Cornelius Warmendam in 1942 became the first pole vaulter to clear 15 feet. Its Hank Luisetti changed basketball for all time by pioneering the one-hand shot in the 1930s.

Contact WSF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY OF SQUASH WORLD SQUASH FEDERATION ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS OF SQUASH Early Days Squash in America 123 Other Nations Pakistan ... Also available as a pdf document Squash was invented in Harrow school around 1830, when the pupils discovered that a punctured Rackets ball, which "squashed" on impact with the wall, produced a game with a greater variety of shots and required much more effort on the part of the players, who could not simply wait for the ball to bounce back to them as with Rackets. The variant proved popular and in 1864 the first four Squash courts were constructed at the school and Squash was officially founded as a sport in its own right. In those early days Squash, as with all other sports, was without any form of international standardisation and it was inevitable that slight variations in the way it was played, and the equipment used, would occur. Luckily only two main streams of activity followed, one in England with its 21 feet wide courts and “soft” ball and the other in North America, with its 18½ feet wide courts and “hard” ball and with both courts having the same length of 32 feet the universality of Squash was not seriously challenged. We will look at these two branches separately and also at the way in which Squash spread to almost every nation in the world.

Squash miracles light up the Pyramids Nagy Thabet Middle East Times Staff Only great events can change world history, and Egypt successfully changed the annals of squash on 2 October. When the winner of the $170,000 prize of the third Al Ahram International Squash Championship was announced, many shed tears of joy that the winner was an Egyptian, Ahmed Barada. The tournament had lit the desert surrounding the Pyramids from 26 September to 2 October. More than 100 of the world's top squash players battled it out at the Pyramids open-air glass court, enjoying the cool weather and the panorama of the Pyramids. The star of the event was Egypt's golden boy Ahmed Barada, who beat all challengers to take the title. Barada declared the challenge when he spectacularly beat his arch rival, Australian Rodney Eyles, ranked number three in the world, in a quarterfinal game that was as exciting as any final. Although it was a close game Barada did not allow the Australian to take the lead, beating him in a game that was described as the best in the tournament. Barada's dreams were close to coming true when world number one Peter Nicol was knocked out of the tournament in straight games by unseeded Martin Heath.

Students at Harvard A Harvard Yearbook Seven U.S. Presidents Financial Aid and Tuition ... Safety at Harvard After a hard-fought football game in 1968, a now-famous headline appeared in The Harvard Crimson: "Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29." As an alternative to "unwholesome" student activities, the first college clubs began to form in 1719. An unnamed "Society of Young Students" organized itself in that year "to meet together for the worship of God" on "Saturday and Sabbath-Day Evenings." Fifteen of its 26 members later became clergymen. The Harvard women's lacrosse team A Winning Tradition Highlights Harvard's Athletic Excellence The Harvard-Yale crew race held on Aug. 3, 1852, on Lake Winnepesaukee in New Hampshire was the first college sporting event in America. Harvard won the competition, besting the Yalies by two lengths. Ever since, Harvard athletes have distinguished themselves in international, national, and conference contests. A Harvard athlete won the first first-place medal of the modern Olympic Games. The Class of 1898's James B. Connolly of South Boston was victorious in the hop, skip, and jump (now known as the triple jump), the first event of the 1896 Games in Athens. Overall, Harvard won five top medals at the 1896 Olympics. One hundred years later, at the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Harvard Athletic Director Bill Cleary '56 (a hockey star and two-time Olympic medal winner) was recognized as one of America's 100 greatest living gold medal winners along with athletes such as Mark Spitz and Bruce Jenner - and two other Harvard athletes/gold medal winners, Tenley Albright Blakeley '53-55, and Dick Button '52.

Contact Us History of Squash Rackets Association of Malaysia The game Of Squash in Malaysia can be traced back to the colonial days when the British Armed Forces introduced it in the Military Camps and private members-only clubs scattered around the country. At that time it was a game enjoyed mainly by the Armed Forces Officers, the British Civil Service expatriates, planters, miners and a handful of locals who had experienced playing the game abroad. The first organised squash Competition was held in 1939 at the Malay College in the Royal town of Kuala Kangsar. Two great leaders of this country were featured in the finals of that event where the former King of Malaysia His Royal Highness Tuanku Jaafar beat former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Abdul Razak in the finals. It is no coincidence that their off springs will later be heavily involved in Malaysian sports.
