서핑, 오리엔티어링, 2024년 AIMS 게임즈 참가

Share:

올해 레코드 출품작을 발표한 제스프리 AIMS Games는 2024년에 서핑과 오리엔티어링이 추가되면서 더욱 확장될 예정입니다.

매년 개최되는 이 중급 스포츠 토너먼트는 2023년 대회에 약 12,000개의 출품작을 모았으며, 서핑과 오리엔티어링의 급격한 성장세를 인정받아 서핑과 오리엔티어링이 수많은 다른 스포츠에서 서로 보완적인 역할을 하고 있음을 인정받았습니다.

오리엔티어링 베이 오브 플렌티 회장 에린 스완슨 (Erin Swanson) 은 “학교와 전국적으로 오리엔티어링이 크게 성장하고 있기 때문에 제스프리 AIMS 게임에 참가하여 주류 스포츠로 인정받고 축하받는 것은 대단한 일”이라고 말합니다.

또한 이번 주 엘살바도르에서 열리는 파리 올림픽 출전 자격을 획득한 키위 선수인 빌리 스테어맨드와 사페 베테의 활약 덕분에 서핑에 한층 더 활기를 불어넣고 있습니다.베이 보드라이더스 회장 제임스 제이콥스 (James Jacobs) 는 타우랑가에서 열리는 제스프리 AIMS Games에서 서핑을 포함시키는 것이 합리적이라고 말합니다.

3×3 농구, 암벽 등반, 산악 자전거와 같은 스포츠가 번창하면서 AIMS Games의 관심을 반영하여 최근 몇 년 동안 비전통적인 스포츠의 인기가 폭발적으로 증가했습니다.11살의 마운트 마운트마웅가누이 중급 서퍼 하루 마스덴 (Haru Marsden) 과 같은 선수들에게는 정말 신나는 경험입니다. Haru Marsden은 올해 축구로 AIMS 데뷔를 하고 내년에는 다른 스포츠 애호가로 초점을 맞출 예정입니다.12살의 로토루아 중급 학생인 라이언 레이 (Ryan Lei) 에게는 조금 다른 이야기일 것이다. 라이언 레이 (Ryan Lei) 는 9월 2일부터 8일까지 열리는 올해 토너먼트에서 2년 연속 풋살에 출전한다.

AIMS Games Trust의 회장 헨크 포핑 (Henk Popping) 은 서핑과 오리엔티어링이 모두 포함되어야 한다는 설득력 있는 사례를 제시했으며 토너먼트는 내년부터 이를 포함하게 되어 기뻤다고 말합니다.
