Shorty Clark opens the door to Taranaki

Posted on by

Shorty Clark knows what it is to travel to destinations throughout New Zealand and indeed the world as he pursues his passion for triathlon. The 60 year old has been competing in the sport since 1995 and has attended 12 ITU World Age Group Championships and hundreds of local and national series events throughout New Zealand.

But on March 23 this year, the triathlon world is set to return to Shortys backyard of the Taranaki for the ITU New Plymouth World Cup Sprint and age group races.

It is no surprise that Shorty is fiercely proud of his home town and province and wants locals and visitors alike to support the event, to reinforce his passion for the event, he works for the naming rights sponsor Port Taranaki and has cheekily asked boss Roy Weaver for a few extra days off to train!

"New Plymouth for me means loyalty to our community, our families and being dedicated to our open, clean and healthy lifestyle. We are also committed to improving our prosperity and that of those who live here in the energy capital of New Zealand.

"I regularly refer to home as having Naki pride and passion. Whether it is triathlon, rugby, netball, cricket or any sporting code, New Plymouth and our people are recognised as being honest, open, genuine and friendly."

Clark is determined to lead the charge when it comes to getting behind the event next month; remembering what is was like when the ITU World Cup left the region back in 2009.

"Its vital and important for the whole community and province to get in behind this race and give it 100% support. Previously we had an ITU World Cup back in 2008 and this generated tons of support, interest, sponsorship and generated spending in the local economy. It was definitely missed when we lost it to an Australian venue.

"The support, vibrancy, crowd interaction and inspiration that is produced from this race is partly what has brought the event back, vindicates the sponsors and makes the complete event viable and attractive to competitors - both the locals and the visitors from outside the province.

"We have the best and most beautiful, natural triathlon playground anywhere in New Zealand right here in New Plymouth, coupled with brilliant training and racing facilities."

Shorty is also an advocate for any newcomers to the sport to give it a go, even as late as now he believes taking part in one of the many age group and corporate events in New Plymouth is realistic.

Brazil World Cup Tours Unveiled by Adventure Life for 2014

Posted on by

Missoula, MT (PRWEB) February 17, 2014

Following the FIFA 2014 lottery for tickets to the 2014 World Cup, Adventure Life designed tour options that allow a combination of soccer viewing and vacation. This World Cup itinerary is designed to be customized according to individual traveler game tickets and personal preferences. Bookings in three star accommodations cannot be made until March 2014 due to FIFAs contract agreement with Brazil hotels. However, Adventure Life will arrange those details as soon as possible. See the details of the tour here: http://www.adventure-life.com/tours/brazilian-world-cup-2014-3877/.

We have been receiving requests for World Cup trips for well over a year now, said general manager Jonathan Brunger. Developing them has proved to be challenging due to the lack of information offered by FIFA regarding the final match locations.

FIFA did finally announce the location for the 64 scheduled matches, which you can see here: http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/index.html. The quarter finals matches will be taking place in Fortaleza, Salvador, Brasilia, and Rio de Janeiro, the semi-finals will be hosted in Belo-Horizante and Sao Paulo, and the final match will be in Rio de Janiero on July 13, 2014.

These packages will include hotel stays, city tours, transfers to and from the stadiums on game days, as well as optional extensions to nearby locations, such as the Pantanal or Amazon rainforest, continued Brunger. However, travelers will need to obtain their match tickets on their own.

For more information on this World Cup tour or other destinations in Brazil, visit http://www.adventure-life.com/brazil or call 800-344-6118.

Axe looms for Socceroos' Cup venue

World Cup travel plans could be in thrown into chaos as the venue for final game is on the cusp of being withdrawn.

Australia's World Cup travel plans could be in thrown into chaos as the venue for their third and final group stage game is on the cusp of being withdrawn as a host city.

The Arena da Baixada in Curitiba is falling well behind the deadline date for completion, originally for December 31, and could be rescinded from the list of venues for the 2014 World Cup by FIFA, who will make a final decision by Wednesday morning.

Reports surfaced on Monday morning that the venue had been already been axed as a host city though the Football Federation of Australia denied that they had received any notice from FIFA.

The game's governing body will assess the renovations of the stadium over the next two days and must be convinced by the local organising committee in the southern city that the venue will be completed in time before announcing their decision to cancel games held there.

Last week, FIFA secretary-general JeromeValcke would not speculate whether Curitiba had been dropped as a World Cup venue but said a decision will be made this week.

"We will communicate the final decision to the teams as promised (next week)," Valcke said.

The venue was one of the newer stadiums in Brazil, originally built in 1999, though endured problems with the upgrade process highlighted by the suspension of all renovation works in October last year due to safety concerns.

The state government of Parana reportedly sought to borrow up to $100 million from a government bank recently in order to fast-track construction and even hire more workers.
