Melbourne determined to ‘safely host’ November Aussie GP

access_timePosted on by BLOGGERPARUNG

Victoria’s Minister of Sport saluted F1’s decision to push the Australian GP back to November, a change that will allow organisers to run their event in a safe environment.

Formula 1 published on Tuesday a revised 2021 calendar that featured several changes. Both Australian and Chinese races are postponed, but Melbourne has been assigned a new date, November 21.

Current travel and mandatory quarantine restrictions in Australia due to the coronavirus pandemic are expected to remain in force for the forthcoming future, rendering F1’s presence in Melbourne and the organization of the opening round of the 2021 season impossible.

“This is the right decision and we thank Formula 1 management for their co-operation in setting a new schedule for the 2021 season,” said Martin Pakula, Victoria’s Minister for Sport.

“The Australian Grand Prix is one of the great events in the world and we’ll make sure it can be run safely and successfully in November.”

Melbourne’s new assigned slot on November 21 means the event could host a championship-decider race.

“As the third-last race of the season, this provides the opportunity to safely host what could be the championship-decider in Melbourne in the lead-in to summer,” said Paul Little, Chairman of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation.

“We’d like to thank our loyal motorsport fans and employees for their understanding in these challenging times.”

Daffney Posts Update On Her Workers' Compensation Claim Against TNA

access_timePosted on by BLOGGERPARUNG

Shannon Spruill (a/k/a Daffney) says she is proceeding with her workers’ compensation claim against TNA Wrestling stemming from injuries she sustained while working for the organization in 2009 and 2010.

“Great day today. Just wanted to let everybody know that the Workers’ Comp Claim is going well. Although it’s been a long road, I continue to keep my head up. Hoping for some good results,” she tweeted Tuesday.

Spruill stated last March immediately following her departure from TNA Wrestling that she had filed a workers’ compensation claim against the organization. There were issues between Spruill and management regarding her medical expenses being covered after she suffered a concussion taking a bump through a board covered with barbed wire at the October 18, 2009 pay-per-view event Bound for Glory.

Creative writer Vince Russo and former Director of Talent Relations Terry Taylor pressured Spruill into performing the spot, reasoning that it was important for the ongoing feud between Abyss and Mick Foley. Spruill, who was hesitant on the idea, was assured that she would be fine. She suffered a concussion taking the maneuver and was taken to an Orlando, Florida area hospital via ambulance. Spike TV wouldn’t allow TNA to air the spot during the following episode of iMPACT! due to their policy on men-on-women violence.

Spruill’s emergency room visit resulted in a substantial medical bill, which Taylor stalled TNA from paying and ultimately was not. She also claimed she was pressured to continue performing after suffering two additional concussions. She suffered a concussion after being hit on the head with a toolbox by Tara following their match on the February 18, 2010 episode of iMPACT!. On April 20, 2010, she was injured in a dark match against an obese inexperienced worker named Miss Betsy and was taken to an Orlando area hospital, where she was diagnosed with a concussion, as well as a deeply bruised sternum and a severe stinger.
