    <content type="html"><![CDATA[&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;newsbody&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p class=&amp;quot;subheadline&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Global sport - global cryptocurrency&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;London, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/18/2020 -- Cryptocurrency continues to drive innovation around the world, and not least in sport. The value and availability of these coins is set not by banks and financial institutions but by the computational power required to create it and allows people to make secure and anonymous transactions online, using block-chain technology to record every transaction.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
But in the world of sport, cryptocurrency is being used to create virtual communities with greater interaction between fans and teams. Sites like Socio allow supporters to purchase tokens for their favourite teams in basketball or football, and this gives them privileged access to everything from special memorabilia, both physical and virtual, to votes on the colours of a newly released team jersey.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
When Power Snooker, a more aggressive and dynamic sister sport to traditional Snooker, was created in 2010 its reach was world wide, with millions tuning in to watch the finals in 2010 and 2011 from 193 countries. Costas A Joannou, now the Chairman of Power Snooker Group explained that &amp;quot;For a global sport, we need a global cryptocurrency, so we created PowerSnookerCoin to do just that.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;Amongst many reasons for Power Snooker&amp;#039;s initial failure to continue was the lack of structure supporting the community,&amp;quot; Costas A Joannou said, &amp;quot;there was a failure to innovate and move with the times.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
This global cryptocurrency is more ambitious than similar models adopted in other sports. For fans, purchasing PowerSnookerCoins can offer exclusive access to news, community votes and merchandise, and depending on the tier of membership purchased, access to future clubs, events and tournaments.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The group plans to put the capital raised from the PowerSnookerCoin back into the sport, it&amp;#039;s professional and amateur leagues. &amp;quot;When you buy a PowerSnookerCoin you aren&amp;#039;t just buying a medium of exchange,&amp;quot; Costas A Joannou said, &amp;quot;You are also buying support emanating from the Group&amp;#039;s tangible and intangible assets.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;For more information on this press release visit: &amp;lt;a rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h2&amp;gt;Media Relations Contact&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Olena Ogir&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;CMO&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Power Snooker Group&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Telephone: 504433344&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Email: &amp;lt;a rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/1294207&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Click to Email Olena Ogir&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Web: &amp;lt;a rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.powersnooker.com/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.powersnooker.com/&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=1294207&amp;amp;amp;s=f&amp;amp;amp;v=f&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; alt=&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;]]></content>

USA Cheer created STUNT as an opportunity for universities, high schools and youth-level programs to meet the strict Title IX requirements of a sport.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;When we began the journey over 10 years ago, we brought in key experts and stakeholders to help us design a female sport that was derived from cheer. It was imperative that it satisfy Title IX requirements, was economical for schools to add, fun to play and engaging to watch,&amp;quot; said Bill Seely, President and Chairman of the Board for USA Cheer. &amp;quot;We are thrilled and humbled that the Committee on Women&amp;#039;s Athletics with the NCAA is giving us this tremendous opportunity to advance STUNT.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The Committee on Women&amp;#039;s Athletics identifies sports to be added to the Emerging Sport for Women program, which is a pipeline supporting the advancement of women&amp;#039;s sports to NCAA championship status.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The committee recognized the continued growth in high school STUNT participation, steady increase in the number of NCAA member institutions that sponsor STUNT, and support from the sport&amp;#039;s national governing body as compelling rationale to include STUNT as an emerging sport for women. The committee further noted the relatively low cost of sponsoring the sport and the opportunity for the sports to enrich sponsoring institutions enrollment management strategies. STUNT participation opportunities for female student-athletes of all body types and diverse sport backgrounds, as well as opportunities for female sport administrators, coaches and officials.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
USA Cheer and the College STUNT Association salutes the hard work of the administrators, coaches and student athletes of all the STUNT programs who have contributed to this historic moment.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;On behalf of USA Cheer and STUNT, we are beyond thrilled for what this means to female athletes from the youth level all the way up to college,&amp;quot; said Lauri Harris, Executive Director of USA Cheer. &amp;quot;The opportunity to now be able to compete in a sport that&amp;#039;s based on the skills that they love and enjoy competing in at the college level is truly a monumental moment. The dedication of the student-athletes, coaches and administrators across the country has paved the way for this landmark achievement&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;The sport of STUNT has provided another unique avenue for women to pursue their athletic and academic careers and add to their collegiate experience,&amp;quot; said Marcus Manning, Athletic Director at Centenary College. &amp;quot;The Committee on Women&amp;#039;s Athletics recommendation to be an NCAA emerging sport is a transformative step for the future of STUNT. I want to commend the leadership at USA Cheer for putting STUNT in a position to be recognized as an opportunity for women, sport-sponsorship opportunity for member institutions, and for achieving NCAA championship status in the future.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;The CWA&amp;#039;s endorsement of STUNT today is a victory for Title IX and female athletes everywhere. STUNT will provide thousands of new athletic opportunities for women and girls at all level of sport,&amp;quot; said Terri Lakowski, Title IX consultant and sport advocate with Active Policy Solutions.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
STUNT&amp;#039;s next step is to continue its growth of the sport at all levels across the country, as we prepare for the next phase of working with each division in the emerging sport process.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;newsbody&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p class=&amp;quot;subheadline&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The all-time Williams Grove Speedway victory leader, Lance Dewease, passed Brock Zearfoss on lap 24 and never looked back to win the $56,000 Champion Racing Oil National Open Saturday night.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Clinton, MO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/01/2018 -- Dewease, who runs Champion Racing Oil, dedicated his 15thWorld of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series triumph to the late Greg Hodnett, who was killed in a sprint car crash nine days earlier.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Zearfoss won the first of two Sears Craftsman Dashes to earn the pole for the 40-Lap feature alongside Dewease, who won the second dash. Zearfoss got a strong start and led the opening lap.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Dewease didn&amp;#039;t let Zearfoss out of his sights, as Montieth passed Brian Brown for third on lap seven Zearfoss reached the back of field on Lap 8 and began to maneuver through traffic before the caution flew Brad Sweet and Donny Schatz, as the top two in World of Outlaws in points sat atop turn two, with 12 laps complete. Schatz returned, but Sweet was done for the evening.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The double-file restart saw Zearfoss maintain control and turn under a Dewease slide job on lap 15 to retain the lead. Dewease was determined and not going away, chipping away on the bottom at Zearfoss&amp;#039; lead.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
As Zearfoss once again reached traffic, Dewease got a huge run through the middle of turn one to pull even with Zearfoss down the backstretch and take command of the field to lead lap 24.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
At lap 25, World of Outlaws and Williams Grove officials made the decision to throw the caution flag to prevent a majority of teams from running out of fuel.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
At this point, Dewease had established he was the class of the field and powered away from the field, navigating traffic with ease. Pittman was formidable and quick, but never got within striking distance of Dewease as the Hall of Famer went on to win his 92nd feature at Williams Grove and fourth National Open.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;This is for Greg Hodnett. This whole week is about Greg. Everyone that knew him knows how great of a racer is, but he was an even better person,&amp;quot; Dewease said. &amp;quot;No one understands how difficult this week has been. I wanted this one bad for this team.  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The Champion Racing Oil National Open at Williams Grove Speedway for sprint cars sanctioned by the World of Outlaws Craftsman Series was held September  28th &amp;amp; 29th. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The Champion Racing Oil National Open is an event with more than 50 years of history that includes the biggest names in motorsports competing at half-mile Williams Grove Speedway, one of dirt racing&amp;#039;s legendary venues. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Champion Racing Oils are built specifically to meet the lubrication demands of race car engines, especially those using flat tappet and roller cams operating at high RPMs and that require high-pressure valve springs. To meet these demands, Champion utilizes its premium ZDDP anti-wear protection package, which contains a unique balance of chemistry that includes high levels of zinc and phosphorus. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
In addition, all Champion Racing motor oils contain our exclusive TVS&amp;reg; (Thermal Viscosity Stabilizer) technology.  This proprietary technology delivers unmatched film strength at high temperature, better piston ring seal for maximum compression, and increases the foot-pounds of torque in most engines.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;newsbody&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p class=&amp;quot;subheadline&amp;quot;&amp;gt;There was plenty of action during Wednesday night&amp;rsquo;s preliminary feature that opened the 58th annual 5-hour Energy Knoxville Nationals, but not much of it was at the front of the field as Greg Hodnett sponsored by Champion Racing Oil led all 25 laps of historic Knoxville Raceway.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Clinton, MO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/09/2018 -- Driving the familiar Heffner No. 27, the Central Pennsylvania regular grabbed the lead from pole sitter Brock Zearfoss on the opening lap and was up to the task on three-single file restarts, holding back 2010 Knoxville Nationals winner Tim Shaffer&amp;#039;s last-lap charge for his second career victory at the half-mile track.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;I had no idea, I was holding on for dear life and trying not to make any mistakes,&amp;quot; Hodnett said. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t know anybody was there, I was just driving the wheels off of it.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Hodnett, who in recent years has only raced at Knoxville during the Nationals, said the track fits his driving style.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;I really like Knoxville. I like the way it races,&amp;quot; said Hodnett, who was runner-up in the Knoxville Nationals in 1997. &amp;quot;You can drive pretty straight and drive pretty hard. It lends itself to my driving style. I always felt comfortable here and I love the atmosphere. It gets me, I won&amp;#039;t say excited, but up in the seat.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;newsbody&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p class=&amp;quot;subheadline&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Champion Oil, a recognized leader in racing lubricants, congratulates Trey Starks for his USCS Series doubleheader wins last weekend when he made his debut racing in Georgia.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Clinton, MO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/20/2018 -- &amp;quot;I got a call on Tuesday to go out there so it was last minute,&amp;quot; said Starks. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve been searching a bit on our cars. Last weekend was a big test session. We were trying a bunch of things. The car seemed to respond well to everything we did. It was pretty much the best-case scenario. We learned a lot and we won two races so it was a really good weekend.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Starks won both a heat race and the main event after starting on the front row in both races on Friday at Lavonia Speedway in Lavonia. However, it was anything but a given as Starks ran second for the first eight laps before making his move for the top spot. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;We basically followed on the leader&amp;#039;s bumper,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I felt like if I was patient I could get through traffic better. I made the right decisions in traffic. I tried to keep my nose clean and pick through traffic as best as I could. You can get ancy in traffic, but if you slow down and wait for a little bit it can go your way. Traffic got really thick at the end. It was a fun race.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The strong results continued on Saturday at Blue Ridge Motorsports Park. He placed fourth in the dash before charging from seventh to second place in a heat race. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;We were the high-points driver and they rolled a zero for the feature inversion so that put us on the front row,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;There are some good drivers there who I knew would be up on the wheel. I had to get out to a good lead early. It&amp;#039;s all about traffic when you&amp;#039;re leading. You have to be careful and get through them quick.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Starks led the distance to capture his third triumph of the year. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s a big confidence boost for our team and the direction we&amp;#039;re headed,&amp;quot; added Starks. &amp;quot;Special thanks to Champion Racing Oil. Champion is a great company with great people that is synonymous with racing. We use Champion Racing Oil and other Champion products and we are proud to be supported by such an esteemed company.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

These multi-viscosity motor oils contain high zinc and phosphorous formulas designed to deliver the correct balance of chemistry to protect high performance engines, especially those using flat tappet roller cams operating at high RPMs and requiring high-pressure valve springs. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
These &amp;quot;purpose-built&amp;quot; lubricant products contain Champion&amp;#039;s proprietary TVS&amp;reg; (Thermal Viscosity Stabilizer) which extends oil film capacity for better protection at high temperatures. The Champion oils also contain special lubricity modifiers to reduce friction and unlock the full potential of any engine by providing increased compression, horsepower and torque. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

When you&amp;#039;re in the hunt every night you can try little things. This weekend we had another good, solid night. Our car worked flawlessly. We&amp;#039;re proud to be partners with Champion Oil.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Brown opened the event by qualifying fourth quickest. He then advanced from fifth to third place in a heat race, which lined him up on the inside of the second row for the 20-lap A Main. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;quot;We got through traffic well and took the lead on Lap 7&amp;quot;, added Brown. The win was the fifth triumph of the season in the 410ci winged sprint car division at Knoxville Raceway. He has also been victorious in 360ci winged sprint car competition to give him a half dozen wins this season, which ties his personal record of victories in a season at Knoxville Raceway. He also won six times at the half-mile oval in 2010. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Brown will continue to ride his momentum into his debut at Farley Speedway in Farley, Iowa, on Friday with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series before he returns to Knoxville Raceway on Saturday. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;newsbody&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p class=&amp;quot;subheadline&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Matt McCurdy returns to the Ironman to help fund United Against Human Trafficking&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/15/2018 -- After a 10-year hiatus from triathlons, Houston native Dr. Matt McCurdy will compete in the Ironman North American Championship held in The Woodlands, Texas. McCurdy has two goals for his return to the triathlon. He wants to qualify for the Ironman World Championship and his wants to raise money to help fight human trafficking.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
McCurdy is a holistic cancer doctor and radiation oncologist in Austin (&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.mccurdymd.com/&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://www.mccurdymd.com/&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;mccurdymd.com&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;).  As a holistic practitioner, he encourages his patients to use physical activity as a tool to lessen side effects of cancer treatment and even to prevent recurrence.  &amp;quot;I hope to inspire patients to incorporate physical activity into life; even a little bit helps &amp;ndash; a walk with friends, a swim at the pool.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
During the last decade, Dr. McCurdy has continued to run competitively while helping raise his young children. Now that they are older, he has recommitted to the Ironman, &amp;quot;Distance adds purpose to my life. It demands physical and psychological endurance and gives me a platform to raise money and awareness for causes I support.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
McCurdy is indeed using the upcoming competition to focus attention on an issue critical to Texas: human trafficking. He is working through United Against Human Trafficking, a non-profit established in 2005. UAHT leads a coalition of Houston-area non-profits, faith-based organizations, government agencies/entities, and others working to end human trafficking.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
As the fourth largest city in the country, Houston&amp;#039;s air and sea ports, major freeways, rail systems, and its proximity to Mexico make it a &amp;quot;popular point of entry&amp;quot; for traffickers. According to the UAHT website, trafficking victims include young children, teenagers, men and women, U.S. citizens, and foreign immigrants who are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for exploitation or forced labor. UAHT works to end human trafficking through awareness, education, and outreach.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
To prepare for the upcoming Ironman, McCurdy trains with &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://thirdcoasttraining.com/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Third Coast Training&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, one of five USA Triathlon Certified Performance Centers. &amp;quot;Matt is an elite athlete training for the toughest of all triathlons,&amp;quot; says Johnny Shelby, Third Coast Training coach. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Shelby knows. He trained McCurdy for the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii in 2006. At Third Coach Training, they support their athletes by taking the guess work out of training with performance testing in their training lab. &amp;quot;We look for fatigue markers and make sure athletes are building endurance and not being counter-productive,&amp;quot; Shelby explained.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Dr. McCurdy understands the value of training. In 2018 alone, he has been a high-performance competitor, taking Overall Masters Champ in the Austin 3M Half Marathon in January, the Austin Marathon in February, and the Capital 10,000 10K in March. McCurdy says he chose Third Coast Training to get him ready for the Ironman because &amp;quot;they will get me to the start line injury-free as fast as possible. Training with Third Coast is efficient and enjoyable.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Anyone interested in supporting McCurdy&amp;#039;s fundraising efforts should visit the UAHT website at &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://uaht.org/donate/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;uaht.org/donate&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. He asks that all donations be sent directly to the charity. Donors can choose to designate his charity drive. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
