**UPDATE** I got them. 4 tickets for the #redroses opening match at Stadium of Light. Bring it on ?? ?? ——————————————————————- I've just registered for something I love. Rugby (tickets). Specifically, for this month's ticket sale for next year's Women's Rugby World Cup 2025. On home soil. I cannot wait. I need to be involved in it. Somehow. I am of the generation who wasn't offered rugby at school (?hockey and??netball for the girls; ?football and ??rugby for the boys). And yet, (men's) rugby was on our TV every weekend (or much as the 4 TV channels we had back then would allow for it), my cousin was in the England team, and I could watch and talk about rugby with the best of them. And boy did I love watching the 7's at the Olympic Games, and Red Roses defeat the world champions (Black Ferns) at the weekend. It's amazing to see women's rugby accelerate in every way. Taking my 3 year old (dressed in her Irish Rugby Union kit and standout unicorn headband) to #moortownrufc Acorns on Sunday reignited my love for this time of year as we move into the internationals and the #6nations. And how physically separated I've always felt from a sport I love. And how excited I am that my kids have loved their rugby sessions so far. But how will my 3 year old experience rugby in the future? All sports leaders, bodies, and organisations we spoke to through our #FutureofSport?publication are debating how to respond to the next generation of fan, player, workforce. Our newly launched our 2024 Future of Sport publication takes a look at the macro future trends shaping the industry. Three key trends analysed in last year’s report – Evolving Market, Next Generation and Pace of Digital – have been updated with some additional predictions on how sports organisations are reacting to these, with a fourth trend ‘Trust’ added to this year’s analysis. Take a flick through it. I'm looking forward to immersing myself in sport through my 3 year old girl's eyes as she grows, in a way I never could. And being part of the community at our newly adopted rugby club #moortownrufc. Thanks for having us. #bootsongirls ?#FutureofSport?#DeloitteinSports?#SportsBusiness

100 days to go until the Paralympic Games at #Paris2024 ?????? Events like the #Paralympics can be powerful tools to promote inclusion and inclusion can and should be built into the fabric of events like Paris 2024.

The principles of excellence, friendship, and respect encourage us to use sports as a powerful tool for positive impact, especially among underprivileged youth. Engaging in sports promotes inclusivity and social cohesion, helping young people develop important life skills while fostering emotional and social growth. This experience has shown me how transformative sports can be in building confidence and creating supportive communities.

Reflecting on the recent Olympic Games, I found myself inspired by the incredible athletic achievements I witnessed—but also surprised and shocked when I heard about the financial inequalities that persist across different countries and sports. The announcement that athletes competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics would receive $50,000 for winning a gold medal was a significant step forward, yet it also highlighted a broader issue: not all athletes are recognised or rewarded equally for their hard work and dedication. For example, while gold medalists in the United States receive $37,500, athletes in Hong Kong are awarded a staggering $768,000 for the same achievement. Meanwhile, in the UK, athletes rely on grants and support for training, with no direct cash bonuses for medals. This disparity raises important questions about how we value athletic achievement and, more broadly, how we approach equity in all areas of life. Shouldn't all athletes, regardless of their sport or country, be given the same opportunity to thrive both on and off the field? I believe it's crucial that we address these inequalities to foster a spirit of unity and support across the global sporting community. Equity isn't just about fairness in sport—it's about ensuring that everyone has the resources and recognition they deserve, no matter where they come from. Paris put on a great show, but as we look ahead to future Games, I hope we see a more equitable approach that truly values the contributions of all athletes and make the Olympic experience—and all areas of life—fairer for everyone involved ?? ?? ?? #Equity #Olympics #Fairness #PeopleProfitPlanet #Inclusion #GlobalSportingCommunity #ESG

Breaking into the #Olympics: A New Era for Culture and Events #Breaking (breakdancing) make its Olympic debut at #Paris 2024. This moment marks a significant shift, bringing street culture to the global sports arena, blending creativity with athleticism. Breaking’s Journey: Originating in the New York (Bronx) during the 1970s, breaking quickly spread worldwide, with millions now practicing in over 100 countries. Its inclusion in the Olympics is part of the International Olympic Committee – IOC’s strategy to modernize the Games and attract younger audiences. In the 2018 Youth Olympics, where breaking first appeared, 60% of the viewers were under 34, proving its appeal. Impact on Music and Events: Breaking’s Olympic spotlight will likely boost the global hip-hop market, already valued at over $10 billion. Event organizers can tap into this momentum to create innovative experiences, aligning with Party Hunt’s mission to promote cultural events. The success seen in the Youth Olympics highlights breaking’s potential to drive sponsorships and media attention. Looking Ahead: Breaking’s Olympic journey from the Bronx to Paris is a testament to the power of cultural expression. At Party Hunt, we’re excited to support and celebrate this new era of creativity and innovation in global events. Let’s break new ground together!
