Readers of this blog come from all over the world, and
Russians are in the top ten as well as Ukrainians. For the last month we have not had readers
from Russia. My hunch is that we have
been censured (we need help from Snowden). Putin has been stopped
without military threat, it happened just with economic sanctions. He is not a man of this century, he
knows little about economics and effects. We will point out economics
and effects in triathlon analyzing Cape Town Triathlon to show you how it
works:
"Above all, we should acknowledge that the
collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century,”
Putin said in an address to the Russian people. “As for the Russian nation, it
became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots
found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself."
This
speech shows that nearly a decade ago, Putin was planting the seeds of his
current actions in Ukraine by referencing Russians who he claims are stranded
in former Soviet bloc states. Since the invasion of Ukraine, he has repeatedly
said that he would protect the interest of Russians and Russians speaking
people outside of the Soviet Union.
In Cape Town most of the athletes worked together to
their best of their cycling ability in the first pack. Thanks to Brownlee, Gómez and his team mate Schoeman,
who made sure everybody worked to their best of their cycling ability. Mola and
Murray tried their best to make others work for them, but they stayed behind for
more than a minute and fifteen seconds.
They played with the economy of the triathletes and at
the end whoever had the best strategy won. Because of the effort in the first pack just
three were able to run and the rest fated to be passed by Mola and Murray. Mola and Murray saved energy on the bike and
Brownlee, Gómez and Shoeman made sure the members of the first pack used their
energy according to their cycling ability. It was a fair share of the economic burden
by the first pack members. This
is the first time I have seen it.

Triathlon has become more strategic than previous years after the
Brownslees. Simon Lessing started to lose after the new format of racing
–drafting- started in the year 1999. He was one of the best riding the
bicycle but lost all his advantage when drafting format started. His
running form and ability was not at the level of continuing winning. The
game becomes what is called, A WET RUN. In the peloton most of the riders
on the second pack just want to reach the first one and everybody dies after
reaching the first pack where the Brownlees and the Gomez are, except the ones
that stayed sitting in the pack waiting for the wet run. That was the
case in this race.
Outside pressure is also playing a role to make
triathletes work on the bike. GOOD!
This is the only way to improve triathlete’s performance. In London (2012, circuit final), Allister
Brownlee tried hard to make triathletes work on the bike, but he failed. It seems that the triathletes have been
educating themselves. ECONOMIC
SANCTIONS WORK IN THIS GLOBALIZED WORLD.
By the way, the NBA will be losing sponsors if they do not make
Sterling sell the Clippers. Guess what
it would happen.
On April 25, 2014, TMZ Sports released what it said is an April 9, 2014, audio
recording of a conversation between Sterling and V. Stiviano.[27][28] According to TMZ, Sterling and Stiviano argued in
regards to a photo Stiviano posted on Instagram in which she posed with Magic Johnson.[28]
Donald Tokowitz Sterling (born Donald
Tokowitz; April 26, 1934)[2] is an American business magnate and former attorney. He is the owner of the Los
Angeles Clippers
in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Sterling acquired the Clippers in 1981 for
$12.5 million, and as of 2014, the team is valued at $575 million by Forbes magazine,[3]
The Los Angeles chapter of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) cancelled its plans for the following month
to award Sterling for a second time with its lifetime achievement award.[31] President Barack Obama characterized the recording attributed to Sterling as
"incredibly offensive racist statements". Obama then stated, “When
ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don’t really have to do
anything, you just let them talk.”[32] Chumash Casino, the Clippers' most visible sponsor the prior four
seasons, ended their relationship with the team, as did sponsors CarMax and Virgin America. Other sponsors and advertisers suspended their
relationship with the Clippers while continuing to monitor the situation.[33]
I will keep you posted and will relate this matter to
triathlon.
