Sporting chance

Article Abstract:

Australian athletes who don't make their country's Olympic team are joining foreign teams in order to participate in the 2000 Sydney games. Sailors are choosing to compete for countries like Britain, which funds their sport better than Australia does. Australia has some of the world's top triathletes, but must narrow its team down to three competitors, leaving some triathletes to compete for other nations.

Corporate triers

Article Abstract:

Australian executives are participating in corporate triathlon events, in which a 3-person team does a relay of swimming, cycling and running. Every two weeks a triathlon is held somewhere in the country. Parallels between the business world and the world of sport are goal setting, challenging oneself, and team effort. For training, experts recommend sprinting, and practicing transitions between events.

Tee and sponsorship

Article Abstract:

The 1999 Australian Ladies Masters golf tournament enjoyed its best press coverage and television ratings to date, but women's sports in Australia struggle to receive sponsorship funds and corporate backing. In contrast, there are 4 new women's golf tournaments in the US in 1999, and 19 out of the 43 professional women's tournaments have increased their prize money.
