DHL 2011 Aussies: Beach events to light up the sands of KurrawaArticle | Thu, 24/02/2011 - 11:25
Welcome to our Countdown to the 2011 DHL Aussies, as we preview the major events and look back on past glories. In this edition, Ian Hanson looks at what we can expect in the always exhilarating beach events.

Kiwi Paul flies Kurrawa’s flag on home sand
There’s a saying amongst beach sprinters and flaggers: “If you never win a race until the last race of the year then you’ve still had a good season.”

Currumbin’s former World Champion and two-time Australian open champion Brett Robinson is one who certainly lived by the adage and knows that champions rise to the occasion – especially in the rigors of beach sprinting.

It is a case of survival of the fittest after gruelling rounds of flags, sprints and relays take their toll on surf lifesaving’s sand warriors.

“The Aussies brings out the best in the best,” says Robinson, now putting his efforts into coaching the next crop of “beachies” at the Currumbin Vikings. And he knows that on the beach on finals days at the Australian Championships only the strongest legs and the toughest minds survive.

In casting his expert eyes over the fields for this year’s Aussies, Robinson was quick to point out that Paul Cracroft-Wilson, the man they call “KP” will be putting all of his eggs in one basket, as he chases the men’s open beach flags crown left vacant following the retirement of premier “sand man” Simon Harris.

Last year Harris hung up his final flag after beating Cracroft-Wilson – Kurrawa’s prized New Zealander - to win a record eighth Australian title.

Harris made the beach flags at Aussies compulsory viewing on a Saturday afternoon at Aussies when thousands of spectators packed the beach for the elimination process that has made the beach flags a must watch event.

“KP” – Kiwi Paul to his squad members now has the chance to add his second Australian gold medal after beating Harris only once in his decade of dominance.

“If he never wins a flag race all season he will still be the man to beat on the day at Aussies,” said former training partner, Robinson.

“With Simon watching in the grandstand I’m sure, Paul will be determined to turn around his bridesmaid tag after finishing second to Simon in five of the last six years.

“And that in itself will be an interesting scenario – after being the underdog for so many years behind Simon, now he’s expected to win – will he be able to handle that?”

The beach sprint, won by Robinson as an under 19 in 1998 before graduating to win the open crowns in 2003 and 2006, will see North Cottesloe’s Australian representative Tom Nolan lining up to defend his title. It’s something that has not been done since Kilcare’s Stephen Munnery won back-to-back titles in 2001 and 2002.

But reigning world champion Nolan is primed to join Munnery in a “special club” after emerging as the fastest man on sand last season and the WA flyer will have to keep 2009 Australian champion and Stawell Gift winner Aaron Stubbs at bay.

Stubbs won the under 19 and Open sprint double in 2009 – a feat only achieved once before by Bronte’s David Dworjanyn in 1987. The former Kurrawa champion is expected to line up for Northcliffe in this year’s Aussies as he chases his second National crown. His presence will add another element to a race that is likely to develop into a stouch between Nolan and the Kurrawa and Collaroy connections.

Kurrawa will field under 19 Australian beach sprint champion Ben Mitchell and under 19 Australian beach flags champion and Australian under 21 representative Ben Mispelhorn, who upset the big names, including Nolan in this year’s Trans Tasman Test Series.

Collaroy, from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, will boast 2010 open beach sprint silver medallist Elliott Marynissen and reigning NSW State Champion Michael Kember – fourth in last year’s final.

Others to keep watch on will be 2007 National champion, City of Perth’s Dean Scarff, who was third in last year’s final and Newport young gun Jake Lynch, who has already upset both Marynissen and Kember this season in Sydney.

robbo must not of been at manly or at queenscliff in january to see ayoung south aussie beat nolan and scarf and ben m the u23 aussie rep at the interstates and manly open sprints.....

I agree Birdman, Jordan Caldow will be a certain finalist and should push very hard for the title, the question that needs to be asked is will he be able to cope with all his U19 individual and relay races aswell as a full open card.

I hope he does the South Aussies proud, lets hope he doesn't get too fatigued on finals day because if he does that forwards lean he runs with could cause massive problems nearing the gates.

Good Luck Jordan

This thread is about Stawell, not beach sprinting. Even though beach sprinting is fun to watch!

When are the marks announced?

Cole, Boudrie seem to be in good shape.

Also, will the field be lifted for Collins? He doesn't seem to be quicker than 10.30 or 10.20 shape, so probably comparable to ARS? I say if the guy can win it off scratch, then don't sabotage him by lifting the field. If he's good enough, then credit to him.

Collins is in super shape. The field need a minimum of 1.5 lift and he will still have 99% of the field covered. They probably need 2.5 lift.

I tend to agree Youngy, although that is assuming the fields in those finals were all going flat chat.

smokie
I tend to agree Youngy, although that is assuming the fields in those finals were all going flat chat.

nobody was flat chat. some could have easily run the time but chose not to win or go fast.

KC don't need no lift, history shows that 10.10-20 will run 12.30.
perfect for him to go well. id much prefer him up in it that cole, britain, dunbar, taylor, tu, all those that ran pulling up.

Agreed with the last point. So many guys pulling up at those races!

Stawell Gift: Collins joins elite
Ballarat Courier
08 Apr, 2011

FORMER 100m world champion Kim Collins is in the hunt for Stawell Gift glory this Easter.

The St Kitts and Nevis speedster, who claimed the global sprint crown in 2003, has been confirmed for the heats of the 120m gift, to be run on Saturday, April 23.

The 35-year-old, who won gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, joins a bumper field of runners chasing the $40,000 winner’s purse.

Reigning Australian 100m champion Aaron Rouge-Serret and 2009 Gift finalist Matt Davies are set for a return to Central Park, while three of the nation’s top one-lappers – reigning national 400m champion Ben Offereins, Commonwealth Games relay gold medallist Kevin Moore and Australian 400m hurdles champion Brendan Cole – will also compete.

Rouge-Serret was excited by the prospect of Collins starting in the Gift.

“Having Kim race at Stawell this year is going to benefit everyone,” Rouge-Serret said.

“He’s currently in great form and he’s going to be one of the ones to watch out for, one of the ones to beat. He’s going to be in racing shape and definitely going to come home strong in the last 20m.”

Rouge-Serret, a regular at the Stawell carnival, expected to be in good form for a tilt at this year’s crown.

“I’ll be going up to Stawell a week after nationals so I’ll be in pretty quick shape and can hopefully be up there with some of the boys in the Gift,” he said.

The elite male sprinters add their name to a long list of Australian athletics stars who will make the trip to Stawell, joining Tamsyn Lewis, Mel Breen, Lauren Boden, Linda Allen, Simon Patmore and distance star Craig Mottram, who will take on the African runners over the much-anticipated two-mile event.

The 130th Stawell Gift will be staged over the Anzac Day long weekend.

Shouldn't that be the Easter/Anzac Day long weekend??

153 entries in the gift, and 134 or 144 in the 200. is there usually that many entries for the 200?

I was looking through the 1990 programme last night. The gift had 39 heats with 304 runners entered. Of those 304 , there is still 21 entered in races for this years Stawell.

Rouge-Serret chases Stawell Gift purse

STAWELL - The lure of a $40,000 winner's cheque, the unique atmosphere and the chance to make their mark in history has attracted a talented posse of the nation's best male sprinters to Central Park this Easter to compete in the 130th edition of Australia's richest and most famous footrace.

Reigning Australian 100m champion Aaron Rouge-Serret and 2009 Gift finalist Matt Davies are set to return to Central Park to try their luck in the Gift, while three of the nation's top one-lappers, reigning national 400m champion Ben Offereins, Commonwealth Games relay gold medallist Kevin Moore and Australian 400m hurdles champion Brendan Cole will also compete.

They will vie for Australia Post Stawell Gift glory alongside 2003 world 100m champion Kim Collins from St Kitts and Nevis, in the heats of the Gift to be staged on Easter Saturday and the semis and final on Easter Tuesday.

The elite male sprinters add their name to a long list of Australian athletics stars who will make the trip up the highway to Stawell, joining the previously announced Tamsyn Lewis, Mel Breen, Lauren Boden, Linda Allen, Simon Patmore and distance star Craig Mottram who will take on the African runners over the much-anticipated two mile event.

For Perth-based Offereins, a member of the 2009 world championships bronze medal-winning 4x400m relay team, the opportunity to run in the Gift brings to fruition a childhood dream to compete at Central Park.

"I've watched the Stawell Gift on TV every year since I was a kid and growing up it's something I've always wanted to do, so it will be great to come along and finally have a run," Offereins said.

"It's always exciting watching these sorts of races and not knowing who's going to win.

"I've run in one handicap event previously in Western Australia and I actually pulled my hamstring, so my coach (Lyn Foreman) doesn't usually let me run in these types of events. However I pleaded and now I can't wait.

"Everyone I've spoken to in past years says it's one of the best weekends to have. There's a lot of hype so I'm expecting it be a very good weekend."
