What will Olympic status do for golf in Brazil?
2011-06-23 15:56:00 August 5th 2011 marks five years to go before Rio de Janeiro hosts South America?s first Olympics and golf returns to sports? biggest stage for the first time since 1904. Tim Maitland looks at how the sport is evolving in Brazil as 2016 inches nearer. From Rio de Janeiro?s perspective, the final piece of the Olympic jigsaw was put into place in June when, during the IOC Coordination Commission?s visit, the decision to build a new course in Barra da Tijuca, rather than to refashion the nearby Itanhanga Golf Club, was made. For the Rio 2016 Organising Committee it meant that the venue master plan was complete. With the five-years-to-go point upon us, it gives golf fans a clearer picture of what golf in the Olympics will be like, with the International Golf Federation still working on the qualification premise it presented to the Olympic family when it successfully made its bid for inclusion in 2009: the top 15 men and women in the world rankings (with a limit of four p...
Golf and Brazil's International Olympic Growth Potential (part 2)
2011-06-23 15:53:00 August 5th 2011 marks five years to go before Rio de Janeiro hosts South America?s first Olympics and golf returns to sports? biggest stage for the first time since 1904. Tim Maitland looks at how the sport is evolving in Brazil as 2016 inches nearer, from building awareness in the sport to golf as an international business. Read the first segment here, What Will Olympic Status do for Golf in Brazil? Building Awareness Typically, tournament golf is one of the biggest drivers of awareness in any emerging golf market, but the days when Gary Player, Ray Floyd, Jerry Pate and Hale Irwin etched their names on the Aberto do Brasil or Brazil Open trophy in the 70s and 80s are a distant memory. And the European Tour?s Brazil Rio de Janeiro 500 Years Open and Brazil Sao Paolo 500 Years Open as part of the celebrations of Pedro Alvaras Cabral?s ?discovery? of the country in 1500 did no more than mark the anniversary and quickly disappeared. For the moment, it?s left t...
HSBC LPGA Golf Stars Issue Olympic Rallying Call
2011-05-30 17:54:00 Two of the world?s leading golfers landed in Rio for the HSBC LPGA Brasil Cup with a simple message for the sport: ?Next Stop: Olympics - Let?s grab this opportunity with both hands?, Tim Maitland reports. World number two Suzann Pettersen and number four Cristie Kerr believe Rio 2016 represents a once in a lifetime chance for the sport to establish itself in a country where less than one in every eight thousand people currently play the game. Less than a week after battling it out in the final of the Sybase Match Play Championship in New Jersey, Pettersen and Kerr sat on lounge chairs sipping glasses of fruit juice on Botafogo Beach, hoping it would be the last occasion they will have time to enjoy Rio de Janeiro?s sun-kissed sand. ?We?ve got five years before we return for the Olympics in Rio and the HSBC LPGA Brasil Cup is the one foundation stone our sport has to build on,? said Pettersen, in the build up to this weekend?s two-day, limited-field event at the Itanhanga Golf Cl...
LPGA Ambassadors on Olympic Golf Mission to Brazil
2011-03-01 19:32:00 Three top golfers on the LPGA Tour have decided to become golf ambassadors in order to gain more interest in the sport and to insure future Olympic success. Cristie Kerr, Suzann Pettersen and Meghan Francella are "on a mission" to Brazil to spread the word about the great golf the LPGA has to offer. The three ladies have committed to play in the HSBC LPGA Brazil Cup at the Itanhanga Golf Club in Rio De Janeiro on May 28/29 partly because golf will be featured in the 2016 Rio Games. The field will be made up of thirty golfers and event purse will be $720,000. Another reason for Suzann's call to action is because Pettersen was part of the official delegation that successfully presented golf?s "case" to the IOC in Copenhagen sixteen months ago. She believes the HSBC LPGA Brazil Cup has a vital role in growing the popularity of golf in South America before it returns to the Olympic family for the first time since 1904. Pettersen further said she wanted, "sports fans in Brazil t...

2008-05-31 06:04:00 "The present era is rampant with the five forms of degeneration, in particular the red ideology (....)"In future, this system will certainly be forced either from within or without on this land that cherished the joint spiritual and temporal system. If in such an event we fail to defend our land, the holy lamas, including the "triumphant father and son" will be eliminated without a trace of their names remaining; the properties of the incarnate lamas and of the monasteries along with the endowments for religious services will all be seized. Moreover, our political system will be reduced to an empty name; my officials, deprived of their patrimony and property, will be subjugated like slaves by the enemy; and my people, subjected to fear and miseries, will be unable to endure day or night. Such an era will certainly come!"These were the words of Thubten Gyatso, the 13th Dalai Lama of Tibet, spoken two years before his death in 1931 (pictured above). With the exception of the demis...

Paris Police Arrest Tibetan Man For Waving His Flag (video)
2008-04-07 19:49:00 It's all about image control-- as the Olympic torch came through Paris today, police were on strict orders to stop anyone interfering with the official coverage of the event.
