Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the modern day Olympic Games, once said: "A country can truly call itself sporting when the majority of its people feel a personal need for sport."

Is Canada a sporting nation? It's a fair question to ask ever since Calgarians voted against a plan for the city to bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The lingering effects of a depressed oil market in Alberta, combined with Olympic cynicism and three levels of government taking too long to reach a funding agreement likely contributed to the resounding vote against the bid.

As an Olympian and someone deeply involved in the advancement of sport in Canada, the vote against the bid was difficult for me to reconcile. So if we are not a sporting nation by de Coubertin's definition, should Canada host a Games in the future?

I would argue yes, but many Canadians would argue against me. And those who say we should never host another Olympics like to bring up something from a long time ago — the 1976 Montréal Olympics.

After bidding six times, Montréal became the first Canadian city to host an Olympics and the only city ever to host a Summer Games. The Montréal Olympics cost the Québec government $1.5 billion — 13 times its projected cost — and the deficit took 30 years to pay off.

The '76 Games were held at a tumultuous time in Québec's history — the province was struggling with a cultural war that involved fierce debates over nationalism and language laws. On top of the political turmoil, the Montréal Games had to deal with incredible construction problems with the venues — sky rocketing steel costs and disgruntled workers who walked off the job, less than a year before the Games. This was the making of a perfect storm.

More than 40 years later, the Montréal Games are still cited by many critics as the reason why Canada should never host another Olympics. I take a contrarian view. In many ways, the 1976 Montréal Olympic Games were a success.

The strength of any major Games is measured by its legacy. Holger Preuss, a German professor of sport economics, says sport legacies are the "planned and unplanned, positive and negative intangible and tangible structures created through a sport event that remain after the event."

Tangible legacies are often grouped according to sporting development, economics and infrastructural advancement. Intangible legacies include knowledge and education, emotional and social impact, as well as providing a positive image of the host city and country. The Montréal Olympics delivered both tangible and intangible legacies that are often overlooked, but in fact are still felt today.

While great attendance and incredible performances highlighted these Games — remember gymnast Nadia Comăneci's perfect 10s and decathlete Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner's gold medal performance? — the return on investment of these intangible legacies are difficult to measure.

But the tangible legacy can be found in the lasting impact of the Olympic Park, which consists of the Olympic Stadium, Montréal Tower, the Esplanade and the Sports Centre. More than 100 million people have visited the Park since its opening.

There are many lasting legacies from the Olympic Park.

● Promoting sport development is a primary objective when hosting the Olympics and the Sports Centre is launch pad for the next generation of athletes, while promoting a physically active society by offering various recreational programs. It hosts various events throughout the year, welcoming more than 300,000 visitors, and is the home to the Institut National du Sport du Québec, which serves as a vital training ground for various national teams, athletes and coaches.

● The original Olympic Stadium — despite being given the nickname the Big Owe because of its costs overruns — has also provided the city with a valuable legacy. The domed stadium and its inclined tower has become an iconic symbol of the city. Despite no longer being home to a major sports team, the stadium is used throughout the year for sporting events, exhibitions and concerts. Hosting these large-scale events provide an economic impact to the city, realized by hotels, restaurants, taxes and transportation. Currently, the Olympic Stadium is in contention as a venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. If selected, Montréal could experience an economic impact of $200 million.

● Standing at 165 metres and on a 45-degree angle, Montréal Tower is the world's tallest incline tower. Attached to the stadium, it offers a view of 80 kilometres on a good day and has become a major tourist destination, attracting more than 200,000 visitors per year. The tower is also the new head office of the Québec insurance company Desjardins, which has signed a five-year rental agreement for seven of the tower's 12 floors.

Other tangible legacies of the Montréal Olympics include the athletes' village that was transformed into apartments, expansion of the Métro subway lines and the establishment of Canada's first national lottery, which was instituted to help finance the Games.

It is worth noting the Montréal Games occurred in an era before the Olympic global sponsorship program. After Montréal, the International Olympic Committee brought in a new business model that offered select advertisers exclusive partnerships and as a result, the 1984 L.A. Games generated a profit of approximately $200 million. Comparing current Olympic bids to those prior to 1984 is truly an apple and orange exercise.

While the power of sports is undeniable, it will always be a challenge for Canadian cities to bid for another Olympics. Bid organizers should identify the needs of their city — affordable housing, transportation, road development, for example — and leverage hosting a major Games to accelerate these developments.

Considering the tangible legacies, Montréal gained a lot by hosting the 1976 Olympics.

Following the extraordinary state-sponsored doping scandal of the Russian Olympic team, the international sport's anti-doping regime faces its worst credibility crisis in decades. The latest decision of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to reinstate the Russian Anti Doping Agency and its Moscow laboratory after their multi-year suspension has again focused attention on the viability of the regime to tackle cheating in sport.

The international anti-doping system, recognised as having longstanding inefficiencies, has responded inadequately to the Russian scandal. The sanctioning policy, directed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), remains ad-hoc, as seen in the inconsistent, delayed, and many believe lenient measures against Russian teams in multiple sports. The regime's accountability structure has not changed in a way that would create incentives for the IOC and WADA as the global anti-doping regulator to do better. Under the current structure there is no forum for these organisations to be held accountable for the outcomes of their policies.

The recent establishment of the Independent Testing Authority, intended to take over the role of testing athletes from (conflicted) international sporting federations, national anti-doping organisations and laboratories, is a welcome step. But it was driven by the IOC, and hardly qualifies as revolutionary change. WADA has not been given the tools to effectively combat doping, nor has sanctioning policy been sufficiently tightened to deter future cheating. In fact, despite various reform proposals, the system is steering away from meaningful change towards preserving the status quo.

So it's unlikely that the international anti-doping system will reform from within, and the opportunities for those outside the Olympic institutions are very limited. Even though it is a hybrid regime that features both public and private regulation, the sports governance system is dominated by one private organisation: the IOC. Is the system doomed to stagnate in spite of calls for reform? Not necessarily. One way forward is through greater government involvement.

Reform-minded states lead the way

While not key players in international sports governance, national governments could spur on reform in several ways.

First, in the absence of robust international action to police and sanction cheating, anti-doping measures can be tightened at domestic level. Doping schemes can be criminalised, and international authorities can be assisted to prosecute their perpetrators abroad.

A notable effort is the recently proposed Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act in the US, which would criminalise doping cartels and authorise state authorities to prosecute violations committed overseas, on the grounds that they have harmed US interests. While it is not certain whether this will become law, the more countries that introduce similar measures the greater potential there is for deterring and prosecuting organised doping schemes.

Second, states can enhance anti-doping regulation through international legislation. The current UNESCO International Convention against Doping in Sport harmonises global anti-doping standards, but does not regulate the workings of the anti-doping regime. There is scope for further regulation to strengthen anti-doping tools and to introduce accountability mechanisms for Olympic organisations.

Given the public interest and investment in sport and the need to protect the rights of athletes, using international law to update anti-doping policy could be readily justified. Just as states managed in the late 1990s to mobilise stakeholders to create the anti-doping regime, with a new global regulator, they can similarly spearhead efforts now to break the deadlock.

Governments can also step up their involvement in WADA. Half the seats on WADA's governing bodies are held by state delegates (representing states as co-funders of WADA). Even though these delegates have little power over the anti-doping regime, they can still have a larger impact. For example, the recently announced candidacy for WADA president of Linda Helleland, former Norwegian sports minister and current WADA vice-president, is significant for the 2019 elections. Were Helleland elected she could be the springboard for change for reform-minded governments. While the position lacks direct powers, the WADA presidency is an agenda-setting role that sets the direction of debate. This would add to the pressure on the IOC from within.

So, not only has the anti-doping regime been exposed as dysfunctional, but there seems little appetite for change. Despite the role of the state in the Russian doping scandal, we would argue that more, rather than less, state involvement could be a promising way to break the deadlock. It might seem paradoxical that the anti-doping system, having been "hacked" by those within governments, might also find that governments are their saviour. But the collaborative efforts of many states is the best way to address the disruptive role of a few and "keep them honest". The alternative – that the same governing bodies that have failed sports so far will reinvent themselves without further oversight – seems vanishingly unlikely.

Violence is often accepted as a intrinsic part of sports. Shutterstock

If you were a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would you allow professional video gaming (also known as eSports) as a new Olympic Games event? That's exactly what the committee is considering right now.

You might think that the IOC's hesitancy to include eSports is associated with the lack of physical movement it involves. But instead their concern is related to the violence that is embedded in many video games. IOC president Thomas Bach said:

…the red line would be eGames which are killer games, where you have the promotion of violence or any kind of discrimination as a content. They can never be recognised as a part of the Olympic movement because they would be contrary to our values and principles.

But on-field sport also has a long history of violence – it is often accepted as a intrinsic part of the contest and game. As George Orwell once claimed, sport involves "…sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting".

Rather than pitting one against the other, however, let's consider the messages around violence and aggression that sports collectively give children and young people – and devise strategies to lessen their impact.

Violence in video games

With titles such as "Counter-Strike", "Call of Duty: Infinite warfare" and "Streetfighter", it's no wonder that violence is frequently singled out as a defining and negative feature of video games.

About 90% of children younger than 12 years, and 95% of children aged 12 and older, play video games. More than 85% of video games on the market contain some form of violence.

Video game violence is often based on hyper-realistic bloody battles and shootouts. Players (generally children and young people) commonly select from an arsenal of weapons to kill first-person style, in war or street-crime related narratives. Most violent video games include justifications of the portrayed violence, a distorted portrayal of consequences, and dehumanisation of opponents.

Community and parental concerns centre on whether playing online battles and first-person shooter games will encourage real-life aggressive behaviour and desensitise children to violent acts.

Violence on the sporting field

However, others may argue that watching a real boxing match or taekwondo fight – two sports that allow acts that would be deemed illegal if they were committed on the street – would have the same effect on a child. It's a valid point.

At the forefront of the on-field sport violence conversation is the number of injuries – estimated at more than 600,000 per year in US sports. Concussions, which are a serious form of head trauma, are not just being seen among professional athletes but among school-aged children too.

For spectators, the majority of on-field professional sport is watched on a screen. At the same time, professional sport has become increasingly commodified and detached from everyday life.

The celebrity lifestyles of many leading athletes (and their the wives and girlfriends) can "dehumanise" athletes to the point where they seem like characters in a game. Watching professional sport often provides a sense of freedom and escape from modern life and, in this manner, can be viewed as being somehow less "real".

This is apparent in the fact that fighting is "considered by many as an integral part of playing hockey in the National Hockey League (NHL)". Ice hockey fights are so popular with fans that a dedicated Twitter account has been established.

Similarly, the movie Green Street Hooligans depicts football "firms" (violent football fans who induce street fights against supporters of other teams), who rank the achievements of their firm as well as that of their team on the pitch.

It is now generally accepted in the academic community that violent acts on the sporting field often work as a catalyst for violent behaviour. This is often exacerbated by poorly designed stadiums and excessive alcohol consumption by spectators. This context sends a powerful message about violence to children who attend professional sporting events.

What the research says about the impact of violence in sports

While US President Donald Trump is among those who are adamant that violent video games lead to aggressive behaviour – such as school shootings – the evidence is less clear.

Research is often based on laboratory experiments in which researchers randomly assign participants to play a violent or non-violent game. In the short term, the findings paint a patchy picture.

In some studies, violent game play was found to have no effect, while other research has suggested that it increased aggressive behaviour and reduced prosocial behaviour, empathy and moral engagement.

Similarly, on-field sports can negatively effect children who participate. A recent study found that 38% of children experience violence in sport – including psychological and sexual violence. Results showed that this had a significant negative impact on psychopathology and quality of life in adulthood.

How to educate kids about sporting violence

Many children today participate in and/or watch both on field sport and video gaming. No single risk factor consistently leads a person to act aggressively or violently, rather, it is the accumulation of risk factors that tends to lead to aggressive or violent behaviour.

Children are influenced by what they observe. Coaches and players across all sports should be encouraged to promote anti-violence messages rather than pushing players to "win at all costs". Pre- and post-game rituals for all sports that highlight connections between opponents, such as handshakes, can make spectators aware of anti-violence norms and promote civility towards others.

Meanwhile, critical conversations with kids about rules embedded in on field and eSports games could potentially lead them to deconstruct the violence they are seeing. Additionally, we need greater acknowledgement of violence in established games and a balance of non-violent games across all sports.

While on-field sport and eSport have many benefits, including team work and problem-solving, sport of all kinds is rife with aggression that impacts kids physically, emotionally and mentally. Instead of asking which is worse, let's consider the collective effect they have on kids, and what we need to change to improve it.

In sport, movement is based on physical ability, which is not necessarily linked to sex. EPA, CC BY-ND

In many areas, gender equality has been improving gradually. But this is not the case in sport, where women continue to be banned for being insufficiently feminine to be permitted to compete.

In our research we argue that one way to move beyond problematic gender barriers is to eradicate sex segregation completely and replace it with a system similar to that used in Paralympic sport.

A history of discrimination against female athletes

Historically, women have been required to undergo humiliating sex testing procedures in order to compete in sport. More recently, such testing has been suspended owing to the lack of consensus about which traits make someone male or female.

   Read more: Fair play at the Olympics: testosterone and female athletes

This issue reached public consciousness through the case of Caster Semenya, the 2008 800m world champion who was banned from competition for two years on the grounds of appearing masculine and having high levels of testosterone.

In 2012, several women underwent surgery in order to meet the requirements to compete in the women's events at the Olympic Games, even though they had always identified as women and externally appeared to be women.

Women are not the only group who receive a poor deal in sport. While weight classes in some sports allow smaller athletes a chance at success, there is no such consideration for other traits, such as height. This means that shorter athletes never have a chance in events such as high jump, volleyball and basketball.

Other athletes are lucky enough to have advantageous traits that do not lead to a ban. For example, they have greater aerobic capacity or stronger fast-twitch fibres (which contract quickly, but get tired fast). But it is not considered unfair for other athletes to compete against them, as it would be if their weight were too high or they were men rather than women.

It's been solved in the Paralympics

Paralympic sport has been forced to deal much more closely with the issue of classification owing to the range of bodies that compete.

In the 1990s, the classification system changed to one that was based on functional ability rather than on medical conditions. It continues today, where rather than labelling athletes as having a particular medical condition, they are placed in a racing category based on the movements their body can perform, related to the sport they compete in.

We suggest that in able-bodied sport, it would similarly make sense to remove the label of male or female and replace it with categories based on the ability of bodies to move in that particular sport. This is a confronting notion, as we are not used to thinking about sex and gender as based on particular traits.

In sport, movement is based on physical ability, which is not necessarily linked to sex. In each sport, it would be possible to identify the characteristics which make up a successful athletes and create categories based on those rather than on sex.

For example, for a 100m sprinter, the ideal athlete would perhaps be made up of muscle mass and fast-twitch fibres. Therefore, rather than classifying by sex, sprinters could be classified by their level of muscle mass and fast-twitch fibres.

In another example, in sports such as high jump, volleyball and basketball, athletes could be classified according to muscle mass and height.

Finally, in an endurance sport, athletes could be classified according to muscle mass and lung capacity. An example of categories under our alternative model is presented below.

Given society is structured so strongly along gendered lines, the public would be unlikely to find this idea easy to accept. We are not used to men competing against women.

However, several studies have found that the more men play against women, the more they come to accept that women can be good athletes, which suggests it is worth pursuing.

Hey, my name is Justin Passaro and I am a Junior majoring in Labor and Employment Relations. I am from Greensburg, Pennsylvania (about 45 min outside Pittsburgh). Prior to coming to Penn State, I played ice hockey for 16 years. Even though concussions have hindered my ability to play competitively, I still enjoy playing in "pick-up" games and adult leagues. During my last 3 years of playing hockey, I played what is called "Juniors", a developmental league for players who hope to play NCAA. It was an experience of a lifetime on and off the ice. I was able to meet so many different people from playing all over the East Coast and living in three different states.
So why did I choose to take SC 200? Well, to be honest, I didn't know very much about the class at all. I needed another science, so I started reading through descriptions of various courses that would fulfill my needs. SC 200 stuck out as a class that I thought I might have more interest in. I also will admit to checking out Rate My Professor and seeing that Andrew had very positive ratings. I can say without hesitation, after the first class meeting, I made the right choice. In regards to how most of us were taught in junior and high school, what Andrew said the first day of class that has really had me thinking. Have I been taught wrong? I never really thought science was boring but I never really found it super interesting. Prior to this course, I was taught that science is just science and it is not something that anyone outside the various fields should question. After attending Andrew's first couple lectures, my curiosity wheels are turning! I want to avert more away from my traditional microanalytic science brain to a more macro and "big picture" way of viewing. For example, I know that hockey is a game built on physics. You have men and women standing on two inch blades of steal trying to accelerate and decelerate, slapping a little hard disk of vulcanized rubber with such velocity that it can fly past the goaltender and into the twine that makes up the 6'x4′ goal (all while trying to balance on ice). What I want to know are questions such as, "Why are people like myself so attracted to the game?", "What about the game helps us form these certain stereotypes of hockey players?" or "Do we all internally share something in common?". I don't believe that I will know exact answers to these types of questions at the end of the 16 weeks, but I do believe that I will learn and acquire certain tools that can help me approach and think about them in a better way.
The reason why I am not a science major kind of goes back to my high school days. As I said earlier, it was never boring for me, but never super interesting. I was always a decent science student in high school, but nothing crazy. I will say, I feel that this class is going to be different. I don't believe this will be just any old conventional science class, but one that can have a positive impact on how we think and solve problems. I am excited!

Kabras, KCB maintain perfect Kenya Cup starts
Kabras Sugar will head into the Kenya Cup festive break heads held high as they trounced Mombasa RFC 77-3 on Saturday to claim a fourth win in as many matches this season.
The Sugar Millers who are bidding to wrestle the Kenya Cup title back off KCB RFC had vowed to show no mercy to the newly promoted side and kept their word with a dominant display at the Mombasa Sports Club.
Mombasa, who were seeking a first win in the top flight will have more soul searching to do over the recess and will hope to usher in the New Year with better luck.
Kabras powerhouse Max Adaka led from the front after running over a few Mombasa defenders before diving over the whitewash to open the rout.
Hillary Odhiambo, Dominic Osino and Coleman added a try each with former Kenya Harlequins star Kevin Keegan adding the extras for the Charles Cardovillis-coached side.
Felix Ayange was not going to be left behind as he showed a clean pair of heels to score at the far corner while Coleman completed his brace with his try that converted by Keegan for 40-0 lead at halftime.
Also Read:
Kabras were not yet done even with their key flanker sent to the bin for a dangerous tackle as they scored six more tries with Keegan's boots adding the extras for a massive 77-3 win.
Mombasa got on the score sheet with a penalty after a breakdown forcing Kabras to give away an easy penalty that Benjamin Asiyo converted.
In other games played across the country, defending champions KCB won 27-12 to hand Top fry Nakuru their third consecutive loss of the season.
KCB ran in four tries to bag a bonus and remain top in the Kenya Cup with Nick Ongeri bagged a brace with Jacob Ojee and Rocky Aguko crossing over as Darwin Mukidza converted the tries and slotted in a penalty.
Nakuru remains winless as the league takes Christmas break leaving them at a lowly 10th position of the 12 team Kenya cup log.
KCB and Kabras who registered a 100 percent first four rounds are currently tied at the top with 15 points each accumulated after four games.
Menengai Homeboyz who are in an equally fine form had to toil hard for a to hammer unrelenting and determined hosts Resolution Kisii RFC 27-21 in a tightly contested Kenya Cup encounter staged at Gusii Stadium.
Homeboyz managed four tries with Kenya international Leonard Mugaisi the chief tormenter as clinical Kisii showed great resilience and determination to scored three converted tries and consequently earned them their first point of the season.
Strathmore Leos bagged their first win of the season as they beat visiting Mwamba RFC 28-17 in the fourth round of the Kenya Cup.
Both teams had not won any game after losing crucial key points in their opening games at the beginning of the Kenya cup season.
Mwamba despite fielding legendary Humphrey Khayange had no option but to give in to the Leos demands as the 14 man hosts earned a well deserved victory.
Timothy Makiya bagged a brace of tries to guide Impala Saracens to a 17-12 win over Nondescripts in their Kenya Cup clash.
Nondies charged as they seemed stage a comeback but the strong Impala Saracens made sure they were not on the receiving end again to end the year with a victory.

Drake Cancels Miami Concerts Over Mystery 'Serious Illness'
Drake has revealed that he has had to postpone some of his tour dates in Miami due to being seriously ill.
The rapper posted a statement on Instagram, telling fans that he 'got ill so fast', and had to receive round the clock care.
Drake and Migos were supposed to perform on the 21st and 22nd September, however fans were told that the shows would be postponed to the 13th and 14th November.
Posting on Instagram, Drake wrote: "I just wanted to say how sorry I am about these two Miami shows.
"I got so ill so fast and I had never experienced anything like that in my life. Unlike other show cancellations or date adjustments due to production issues this one fell on me and I just want to apologize because I hate letting down anyone who come to 2share these moments with us.
"Thank you to the two doctors and nurse that helped me with round the clock care. Miami deserves 100 percent and I promise that experience when we return.
"Thank you god for allowing me to recover and continue on we go!"
Before Drake released his statement, fans were understandably upset after only finding out about the cancellations on the day of the show.
The cancellation was rumoured to be due to 'production issues' after previous problems saw the tour postponed from July to September due to the its ambitious stage design.
One Twitter user wrote: "I can't decide if I'm extremely annoyed that I have to pay to come back to Miami because the Drake/Migos concert was postponed.. or if im excited that I'll be back in miami in a month & a half [sic]."
Another added: "Drake and the Migos tour has to be one of the worst run recent history. They never need to hit the road together again [sic]."
A third wrote: "I'm not in Miami but I'm pissed they postponed Drake and Migos. Smh [sic]."
The postponing of the tour comes after Kanye West called Drake out on social media after a conspiracy theory went viral about Kim Kardashian being Drake's Kiki.
Kim laughed off the rumours and Drake stayed completely silent, with Nick Cannon later joking that the whole thing could be true.
But Kanye took to Instagram to share a string of explicit videos telling them to stop talking about his marriage.

The first open Indoor triathlon takes place in Tashkent
10/07/2019 09:08
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 7 July 2019 with the support of the Federation of Uzbekistan triathlon in the BeFit Fitness and Wellness club for the first time held an amateur triathlon competition in the Indoor format.
The competition "BEFIT INDOOR TRIATHLON" was organized in order to popularize and further develop triathlon in Uzbekistan, promote healthy lifestyle among the population, identify the strongest participants who showed the best result in the competition, as well as create an atmosphere of a sports festival.
In contrast to the classic triathlon, in the indoor-triathlon all stages take place indoors: the water stage is in the pool, the cycle step is on the exercise bike, and the run is on the treadmill. In this competition, a certain time was allotted for passing the stages: 10 minutes swimming, 30 minutes a bicycle, 20 minutes running and 5 minutes each for passing (changing clothes) of transit zones. In this format, the winners among men and women are determined by the sum of the distances covered by the three stages.
The competition was attended by 30 amateur triathletes, among whom are well-known top managers of local and international companies. The competition also included demonstrations by members of the junior national team of Uzbekistan in triathlon.
Guests and spectators became participants of a rich program, where they had the opportunity to try themselves in triathlon with the help of special simulators. Interactive sports games for children have become one of the most striking features of this triathlon holiday. In addition, the event was broadcast live on the territory of 3 large parks in Tashkent:
- Central ecopark named after Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur;
- Central Park named after Mirzo Ulugbek;
-Park of culture and rest named after Gafur Gulam.
A special entertainment program in a sporting atmosphere was prepared for the audience. Visitors and guests supported the triathletes, watching the competition live. This is the first triathlon event in Uzbekistan, which covers such a wide scale.
The competition was organized by the fitness club BeFit with the support of the Federation of Triathlon of Uzbekistan and a number of partners. The general sponsor of the event is Orient Finans Bank. Official partners: Coca-Cola Uzbekistan, Wellness Point, Garmin Uzbekistan, Nutrend, Green Point, Arena Markaz. The event was supported by the Hokimiyat of the city of Tashkent, the administration of parks and the National Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan.
Triathlon is one of the fastest growing mass sports. Around the world, more and more people are starting to engage in triathlon. Combining three separate cyclical sports, triathlon reflects such characteristics as agility, endurance and courage.
Amateurs and professionals argue that this sport favorably affects not only physical health, but also transforms the way of thinking - it makes a person more confident, purposeful, and stress-resistant. He teaches not to stop at what has been achieved, to set new goals all the time - to constantly become an improved version of himself.
BEFIT INDOOR TRIATHLON also became an excellent opportunity for participants to prepare for the upcoming competitions. Exactly one week later, on 14 July 2019, more than 20 amateur athletes from Uzbekistan will take part in the ripping of IRONMAN 70.3 Astana (Kazakhstan), where they will overcome the Half Ironman distance, which includes a swim (1.9 km), a bicycle race (90 km) and a run (21 km).

I am not sure about you, but there are times when I feel my anxiety levels rise as I face the challenges of the day. The world we live in, no longer offers the peace and security we once knew and most of us have some form of anxiety about the future. However, Jesus said in John 14: 27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Ponder those verses for a few short moments with me before you begin this new day.
· Jesus has promised us peace despite the circumstances: Here is an incredible truth for us to grasp. Jesus has offered us His peace even in the midst of trying and difficult situations. His peace is not dependent upon what is happening around us, His peace is secure because it is found in Him.
· Jesus peace is different from any other kind of peace: When a worldly leader tries to assure us of peace it is based upon a number of human factors. Humans are fallible and so their promise of peace is not guaranteed. Jesus' peace however is a different kind of peace; it is a peace that can invade your heart and still your mind like nothing else can. You can try sedatives; they will not have the same impact. Alcohol will not do it for you! In fact, no substance, no human can ever offer the kind of peace that Jesus offers here.
· Jesus peace dispels fear and anxiety: It is only Jesus' peace that will bring lasting satisfaction to the human heart. He said; "Do not let your hearts be troubled." Why? Because although you think your circumstances are in your control, and the events of the world are in the hands of arrogant politicians – they are not! 'He holds all things together.' It is Jesus alone who holds the events of your life together. It is Jesus who controls the world. And because of this we do not have to be afraid.
Take courage today my friend. Jesus offers you His peace. It is yours for the taking. Place your confidence in Him. He holds the world safely in His Hands. And more importantly, He holds the situations of your life and the lives of those you love so dearly in His safe Hands. You can rest assured your day will be good if you place it in the Hands of Jesus.
I am and always will be,
Recklessly abandoned, ruthlessly committed and in relentless pursuit of Jesus,
