London Paralympian excited about IPC Athletics World Champs

Holly Robinson competes for New Zealand at the forthcoming IPC World Championships in Lyon, France this week (July 22). Athletics New Zealand?s Steve Landells chats to the teenage javelin thrower about the enormity of competing at the London Paralympics and her hopes for the biggest competition of her year.

If there is one subject that javelin thrower Holly Robinson never tires of talking about, it is the London Paralympics. There, last year, the Hokitika teenager enjoyed the experience of a lifetime, placing seventh in the F46 classification and competing in front of 80,000 fans at the Olympics Stadium.

"It was really cool, I?ve never competed in front of so many people before," explains the 18-year-old excitedly. "It was a completely different experience. It was amazing. The biggest crowd I?d ever competed in before was a few thousand people at the QEII Stadium (in Christchurch). I was so nervous."

Yet after performing with distinction in the cauldron of the Olympic Stadium, she admits in the month following her maiden Paralympic experience "I took a big drop back down to earth."

In short, the 18-year-old, who started a Bachelor of Applied Science (physical activity in health and wellness) at Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin earlier this year, needed to re-focus.

"It was not really a lack of motivation, but there was a lack of focus," explains Holly, who has a missing arm below the elbow, honestly. "I?d come back from London and thought it was just another New Zealand season and it is not that big compared to the London Paralympics."

Yet after a ?reflections session? with her long-time coach Raylene Bates towards the end of the summer season, she rediscovered her focus and her performances improved.

"It wasn?t a terrible season, but it wasn?t great," admits Holly. "I got on top of it, in the end."

One area the Taieri thrower has worked hard on in recent months has been improving her strength in the gym, but she has also benefited from more throws sessions with the help of the state-of-the-art Forsythe Barr Stadium in Dunedin.

Her regular training venue at the Caledonian ground was unavailable because of the wet conditions and switching the 30,000 capacity indoor stadium, where she threw on a concrete slab rather than the grass, was invaluable.

"Getting in some more throws has been beneficial to both Rory (McSweeney, her training partner and fellow IPC World Championships performer) and myself."

Hailing from Hokitika, Holly, played representative netball for the West Coast and was a useful basketball player as a youngster, but after starting athletics as a runner she "was drawn" to the throws, initially starting out in discus and shot before switching to the javelin.

Sylvia's WaterColorBot takes to Kickstarter for the usual reason (video)

Fresh from impressing President Obama, Bill Nye and LeVar Burton, WaterColorBot -- sorry, Super Awesome Sylvia's WaterColorBot -- is ready for prime time. The makers are taking to Kickstarter in order to sell the robot, which transfers vector art and trackpad daubs to paper without the mess of doing it yourself. The team needs to scrounge together $50,000, and a pledge of $295 will get you an unassembled, DIY kit. If you want to see the unit in action (hosted by Super Awesome Sylvia herself,) then head past the break.

Football club offered bailout bid despite £15m arrears

A firm controlled by a City council has made a bid to buy a football club, currently in administration and with arrears of over ?15 million, the BBC reports.

Coventry City FC has been made an offer to play rent-free at the Ricoh Arena by its stadium?s owner, Arena Coventry Limited (ACL), which is part owned by Coventry City Council.

Any agreement made between ACL and the former Premier League side would be ?free of any rental fee?, according to a statement made by the firm.

This reportedly includes ignoring ?1.3 million worth of rent still unpaid by the club to the owners of its stadium, the Ricoh Arena.

Coventry City Football Club (CCFC) Ltd, the firm controlling the League One side which is currently in administration, is the subject of bids from six potential buyers, including ACL and American property tycoon, Preston Haskell IV.

It is still unclear whether ACL?s bid ? or any others ? will be accepted by the Club?s administrator, Paul Appleton, once Thursday?s deadline has passed or whether the club will escape administration.

Any successful bid, however, will aim to take control of all of CCFC?s assets, including the Football League?s ?golden share?, which grants the club a license to play in the league.

Any successful bidder would also have to hold discussions with Sisu ? the club?s former owners ? and Coventry FC?s Holdings company, which owns the players? contracts.

Tim Fisher, Chief Executive of Coventry City FC Holdings (Ltd), maintains that ?the club is not for sale.?

In January, Coventry?s City Councillors agreed in private to use ?14 million of taxpayer ?cash balances? to bail out the Ricoh company?s mortgage, with ACL under financial pressure from lost football-related sponsorship and the club?s refusal to pay rent.

The council and ACL have been locked in a legal battle and financial dispute with Sisu over stadium rent, ownership and revenues.

Coventry City Football Club Holdings (Limited) ? owned by Sisu ? has continued to operate the club throughout its administration and has threatened to build a new stadium within three years, taking the club out of Coventry in the meantime, lest a suitable bidder be found.

According to the title, ACL?s statement read: "We have today notified the Football League of a proposed solution for the coming season to enable the football club to fulfil its commitments under Football League regulations, and to provide stability whilst Coventry City Football Club Limited, which owns the League Share, remains in administration.

"All charges incurred on matchday as a consequence of staging a match will be passed through at cost.?

It went on to say: "Whilst these sums may vary depending on attendances, it should be noted that policing, stewarding and pitch maintenance have historically been directly managed and paid for by the club.

"Given ACL wishes to ensure it provides the best playing surface possible, it will now take direct responsibility for future management and maintenance of the pitch.?
