Sevens primed for Olympics

Sevens primed for Olympics

9 Dec 2008

Sevens rugby could be included as an Olympic sport at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

International Rugby Board (IRB) Sevens tournament director, Beth Coalter, said the chairperson of the IRB, Bernard Lapasset, was lobbying the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to have Sevens instated as an Olympic sport.

The IRB expects to have an answer from the International Olympics Committee (IOC) by October 9 2009.

“There’s a possibility that we will be able to take part as early as 2012,” Coalter told Die Burger.

“The winners won’t receive medals though, but will play demonstration matches only. If these trials in London are a success, there is a strong possibility that Sevens rugby would be included in the 2016 Olympic Games as an official Olympic sport.

“With Sevens rugby you have two days of extremely exciting action. The big stadium in Beijing often stood empty during this year’s Games. When Sevens rugby was played at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, spectators filled the seats.

“The profile of Sevens rugby would be raised considerably by being part of the Olympics, meaning that participating countries would also receive the support of their governments,” explained Coalter.

Speaking of the World Cup in Dubai (5-7 March 2009), Coalter said: “After the Dubai tournament, we went back to the drawing board to see how we could improve. One change to be implemented is that we will also have 16 women’s teams to go with the 24 men’s teams at the World Cup tournament.”

    Sjoe!
    Dis erg duur.
    Nee, ken net die ou Menlyn, toe daar nog rooigras om die parkeerplekke was.
    Ek het meesal daar by P+P in Fairie Glen gegaan, of soggens vroeg na die Waverley senrtum of East Lynne anties langs die Spar (jam tertjies en vleispasteitjies, vandaar tennis toe, na die game koue Castle en daai pasteitjies!)
    Lekker dae, toe man nog veilig in Pta kon parkeer.

    Maude and Claude, both 91, lived in a senior citizen’s residence. They met one day in the social center, and discovered over time that they enjoyed each other’s company.

    After several weeks of meeting for coffee, Claude asked Maude out for dinner and she accepted. They had a lovely evening and afterward Claude asked Maude to join him at his place for an after-dinner drink.

    Things continued along a natural course and, age being no inhibitor, Maude soon joined Claude for a most enjoyable roll in the feathers. As they were basking in the glow of the magic moments they’d shared, each was lost for a time in their own thoughts. Claude was thinking: If I’d known she was a virgin, I’d have been more gentle.

    Maude was thinking: If I’d known he could still get it up, I’d have taken off my panty hose!
