You're Athletes, Not Journalists







You're Athletes, Not Journalists

You're Athletes, Not Journalists 08/21/2004 05:52 AM

Olympians can do media interviews but they'd better not blog. The International Olympic Committee, interested in protecting lucrative broadcasting contracts, forbids any activity that might upset the networks.

For all you hip-pained athletes


For all you hip-pained athletes 12/19/2004 03:21 PM
From the American Academy of Family Physicians comes this detailed publication on Hip Pain in Athletes. While it's obviously written for medical professionals (ones who recognize words like 'acetabulum' and 'femoral head'), I found it useful in preparing for my trip to the orthopedic specialist. I've had a nagging pain since before the marathon, nothing too severe so I just ran through it. Now that I've been back in NYC and sitting much more than before, the pain's gotten worse. So I finally broke down and went to the doctor. I've been laying off the running, except for my races, and hopefully today will get to the bottom of the issue. I think (hope) it's just inflammation that will pass with ice, rest, and NSAIDs.

Olympic athletes banned from bl0gging 08/21/2004 01:09 AM

The AP reports that the IOC bars athletes, coaches from writing first-hand accounts This reminds me of the (now defunct) rule that companies couldn't report earnings and other reports on the Internet until after newspapers had time to print. This was supposed prevent an "unfair advantage" for people who use the Internet. Protecting traditional journalists by muzzling first-hand reports from athletes and coaches is so wrong and stupid.

Birmingham, England, home town to many Neowinians, is also a site of support for the British Olypmic hopes. For the next few days, Microsoft will be offering passers by to write messages of congratulations, commiseration and support to British Athletes competing in at the 2004 Olympics, in Greece.

Microsoft, an Olympic sponsor, is in the centre of Birmingham with the British Olympic Association drawing attention to lesser supported sports, such as fencing. These sports have traditionally received less coverage in comparison to the likes of swimming; the same applies in terms of funding. The event is designed to increase funding and interest in these sports, and ultimately raise British medal hopes.

Microsoft are also using the event to show off their Tablet PC, and it's new technologies. Combined with its integrated hand writing software, people can literally use these devices as portable notepads. Fun, undoubtedly, but questionably useful; this issue is perhaps on of the reasons for their low uptake in the main stream market.

Asides from sponsoring British athletes, Microsoft are also managing the British Olympic Associations IT needs (more info via the link below). If you wish to send a message to the British team in Athens, you can do so here.
