Najstarsza w Polsce impreza wystawiennicza branży sportów wodnych i rekreacji.
W dniach 12-15 marca br. w Warszawskim Centrum EXPO XXI tradycyjnie już spotkają się przedstawiciele branży i miłośnicy sportów i rekreacji na wodzie z Polski i z zagranicy. Otwarcie targów – z udziałem przedstawicieli patronów honorowych – odbędzie się w czwartek 12 marca o godz. 12.00.
Targi WIATR i WODA są największą i najstarszą w Polsce imprezą wystawienniczą branży sportów wodnych i rekreacji. Odbywają się od blisko 20 lat a od trzech lat mają swoją nadmorską edycję na wodzie w Gdyni. Targi WIATR i WODA są miejscem spotkań branży i sympatyków żeglarstwa, jachtingu motorowego, kajakarstwa oraz nurkowania z Polski i ze świata. Impreza jest członkiem IFBSO – międzynarodowej organizacji zrzeszającej wiodące na świecie targi żeglarskie.
Rekordowa ekspozycja – ponad 100 łodzi na targach!
The 13 cities are more than twice than the number previously used for the continental championship and shy of only the 1982 FIFA World Cup™ in Spain and the 2002 FIFA World Cup™, which used 10 venues each in Japan and Korea Republic. The 1994 FIFA World Cup™ in the USA was played in nine different venues.
“By expanding the Gold Cup to 13 venues, it will give fans more opportunity to experience the championship in person,” said CONCACAF President Jack Warner.
The Gold Cup will make its first appearance in four cities: Columbus, Ohio; Phoenix; Philadelphia and Washington. A Gold Cup quarterfinal will be the first sporting event to be played at the Dallas Cowboys New Stadium.
Warunki panujące były trudne i bardzo zróżnicowane. Mimo to swoją dominację potwierdził aktualny Mistrz Polski Jarosław Miarczyński z SKŻ Hestia Sopot, który wygrał 6 z ośmiu rozegranych wyścigów. Srebrny medal mistrzostw świata przypadł jak przed rokiem Cezaremu Rośleniowi z KS AZS AWFiS Gdańsk. Na najniższym stopniu podium stanął Jacek Piasecki z SKŻ Hestia Sopot, który zarazem wywalczył złoty medal w klasyfikacji młodzieżowej.
Limited Number to be Auctioned for Cancer Research
Kane, working with designers and developers at Bauer Hockey, designed the skates and stick this past summer for exclusive use during the outdoor game. Only 88 skates and 88 sticks were created for this special event and Kane will personally sign and auction off a portion of the limited edition product to raise money for breast Cancer research in
Chicago and his home town of Buffalo.
“It’s something I’ve been interested in from the beginning – designing your own skates and stick is a pretty unique experience,” Kane said. “It’s really exciting to look at a skate and design it to exactly how you want it to be made. To be able to give back to the community makes the whole experience even more special.” […]
NEW YORK (Dec. 8, 2008) — Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne, Chicago Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews and Ottawa Senators center Jason Spezza have been named the NHL’s ‘Three Stars’ for the week ending Sunday, Dec 7.
FIRST STAR — PEKKA RINNE, G, NASHVILLE PREDATORS
Rinne posted three victories in as many starts last week, earning a pair of shutouts and allowing just two goals — neither of which were at even strength — on 83 shots for a .976 save percentage. He stopped all 30 shots for his first career NHL shutout in a 2-0 victory at Buffalo Dec. 1, made 19 saves in a 3-2 victory over Colorado Dec. 4 and stopped 32 shots in a 1-0 victory over Minnesota Dec. 6. Rinne is a perfect 6-0-0 in eight games this season and has posted a 1.24 goals-against average and .954 save percentage in his past four appearances. Selected 258th overall in the 2004 Entry Draft, the 26-year-old Oulu, Finland native is one of three rookie goaltenders to have won each of his first three decisions in 2008-09, joining Columbus’ Steve Mason and Edmonton’s Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers.
