Régóta megy a vita arról a Hölgyek -GS sportban- egy vagy kettő súllyal lökjenek-e? Ha az olimpiára ki akar jutni a gs akkor azonos versenyszámoknak kell lenni. Tehát vagy a fiúk is egy bellel löknek vagy a Hölgyek duplával. Tavaly az omszki konferencián állítólag erről is beszélték. A hét elején megjelent kérdőív is erről szól.
Pénteken aztán megjelent az amerikai Orange Kettlebell Club hullámokat keltő nyilatkozata:
THE END OF WOMEN'S ONE ARM LONG CYCLE AND ONE ARM JERK IN OKC!!
At Orange Kettlebell Club we believe that Women are people too. We also believe that our beloved kettlebell sport is always evolving. One of the ever present and unfortunate veins that has run through our sport since the beginning has been the inequality between male and female athletes.
As our sport has progressed it has become more and more clear that the women of kettlebell sport do not need the men in charge to protect them. Through hard work and focus the women of kettlebell sport have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can perform the same lifts as men and that they do not need a handicap.
Ranking tables and rules always need to be monitored and adjusted. In kettlebell sport this has been traditionally done by looking at the numbers produced by athletes over a period of time. If there are too many masters of sport, rank requirements go up. If there are too few, the requirements are adjusted accordingly.
It is in this spirit that we are announcing that The 4th annual Northern California Kettlebell Sport Competition 2015 will be the last domestic competition where the OKC will be running 10 min One Arm Long Cycle and 10 min Biathlon (or Jerk Only) with One Arm Jerk. Our international events will follow in 2016.
Starting on August 9th, 2015 at the OKC “TALC” will simply be called Long Cycle and Biathlon will mean Jerks with 2 bells and Snatch with one. For now, single arm events will still be run in 5 min sets to encourage the growth of the sport.
We have seen enough from the pioneers at the California Open, the Texas Open, several IKFF events and all of the women around the world lifting doubles and we are 100% sure the time is now.
Ranking tables will need to be adjusted and will be released as soon as possible.
To the women who are so close to hitting their rank in our expiring events: Please understand that we know first hand what it feels like to have the goal moved just before you get there. We apologize for any pain this is causing you. We are making this change not because we disrespect your efforts, but because your efforts have not only changed the goal, they have changed the sport.
Congratulations and thank you,
jwb
And the OKC Group
Ady Endre: Akarok
Akarok ! Egy kemény rövidke szó
ebben benne van az egész életem !
E szó mögött sok, nehéz harc rejtőzik,
e szó miatt még sokat könnyezem.
De történjék bármi,
ha az egész világ fog ellenállni,
vagy ha egyedül is maradok
mindent legyőzve mégis AKAROK !
