?? Guess which Olympic team this Ryan Giggs jersey belongs to? ?? Spoiler: It's not Wales. ?? Tonight marks the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, although some sports, like football, have already kicked off. Among the teams, there's one with a particularly fascinating and unique Olympic history: Great Britain ???? Comprised of talents from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, Team GB represents a rare example of unity in football, a sport where they usually compete separately. With ?????? Olympic gold medals (1900, 1908, and 1912), Great Britain stands as the most successful football team in Olympic history, alongside Hungary. ??? Here's a historical tidbit: In 1900, football made its Olympic debut right here in Paris, and Great Britain won the tournament, represented by Upton Park FC. This pioneering event marked the beginning of a long tradition of Olympic football. ?? However, after their participation in 1960, the team was absent from the Olympics for 52 years due to political and administrative complications between the football associations of the four nations. It wasn't until the 2012 London Olympics that the team made a comeback, motivated by the opportunity to compete on home soil. ?? The British team remains one of the most decorated in Olympic football history and will continue to hold this distinction at least until the next Olympics, as Hungary will not be competing in Paris either. ?? So, you've guessed it right—the jersey in the photo is from the London 2012 Olympics, representing the last British football team to compete internationally so far... As we await the potential reformation of this winning team, embodying Olympic ideals of sportsmanship, unity, and fair play, we wish all Olympic fans an exciting and inspiring Games! ?? #Paris2024 #Olympics #Football #Sportsmanship #Unity #FairPlay #Olympicgames

I hope you are all enjoying the Olympics. With the blue-riband event of the 100m final yesterday, it truly highlights the relevance of fine margins in elite sports. The difference between triumph and defeat can come down to mere milliseconds, underscoring the importance of every detail. This serves as a powerful reminder that in both sports and life, precision and dedication to the smallest factors can make all the difference. https://lnkd.in/eXv8wcwn

?? We have a long way to go before we can dream of winning few gold medals consistently in every olympics. ?? Same old rotten reasons - facilities, support, infrastructure and finally lack of player mindset to seal the medal in final critical moments. ?? Continued political interference and lack of transparency in way sports events are conducted in the country. No single national level authority governing all sports nationally. ?? Regional favouritism, corruption and lack of accountability. ?? Poor funding - peanuts compared to top sporting nations like China & US. ?? The reality is that we are not a sporting nation. There is a huge difference between being a sporting nation and playing sports for the sake of passion. The former is well oiled machine manufacturing champions while latter is triumph of individual over system and intense competition. Unless we take things seriously and make drastic changes to the way we operate we can continue dreaming olympic after olympic. Nothing is going to change.

Emma Hayes dives into USWNT’s latest Olympic journey Sports News, Emma Hayes, Olympic journey, USWNT

As I watch the Olympics unfold, I’m struck by the powerful connection between the pursuit of athletic greatness and the relentless drive we apply to our personal and professional goals. The men’s 400m finals at the Paris 2024 Olympics served as a perfect example. Quincy Hall, a top contender, found himself trailing behind. Yet, instead of succumbing to the pressure, he honed in on his race, drawing from the depths of his training, skill, and unwavering resolve. With every stride, he remained laser-focused, shutting out distractions and trusting in the countless hours he had dedicated to preparing for this moment. Quincy pushed himself to the limit, crossing the finish line as a true Olympic champion. This performance highlighted an essential truth: greatness isn’t achieved in isolation. It’s shaped by the company you keep, the rivals you face, and the challenges you overcome. While individual practice sharpens your skills, it’s the competition against high-caliber athletes that pushes you to break through your own boundaries. To reach the pinnacle of success, you must compete with the best, as this will ignite the drive to surpass your own perceived limits. Run your race with unwavering focus. Master the fundamentals. Dig deeper than you ever thought possible, and strive to outwork everyone around you. In doing so, you’ll not only achieve your own greatness but inspire others to rise to the occasion as well. Congratulations, Quincy—your triumph is a testament to the power of dedication, and today, you stand as an Olympic champion! Watch the video!

Thanks for all of you who read my post about my new book, The Best and Worst of the Olympics, special thanks to those who reposted and extra special thanks to those who actually bought it and reviewed it! For the book I picked 25 great moments from the history of the Games, then ranked them in rough order of priority. Here's what I selected as my three greatest moments: 1) 'The clash of the titans' - When Seb Coe met Steve Ovett in Moscow 1980. GB men once ruled middle distance running, and the meeting of these two all-time greats was the most eagerly awaited clash in modern Olympic history. The two races did not disappoint. 2) 'The Bolt of lightning' - Usain Bolt is arguably the greatest and most popular athlete of all-time winning three gold medals in three successive Games*. He announced himself in Beijing 2008 in the most stunning and memorable fashion with his wins in the 100m and 200m. 3) 'The kick in the ball' - The 1936 Games should never have been held in Nazi Germany but they went ahead nevertheless. Jesse Owens won four gold medals in front of Hitler to show that his ideas of Aryan supremacy were ridiculous and pathetic. Do you agree with this selection? What are your greatest moments? I know that LinkedIn is a business forum, but surely there's no harm in a little discussion amongst ourselves. If I missed them from this book perhaps I can include them in the sequel. There are, of course, still copies of the book available for those who haven't yet ordered. https://lnkd.in/e9M7ZijC. All of my royalties will go to charity.

Gold medalists in track and field at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris will receive $50,000 from World Athletics. World Athletics announced on Wednesday morning that there is a $2.4m prize pot on offer across 48 events in track and field, making it the first ever sport to introduce prize money at the Olympics. Relay teams who win will have to split $50,000 between their members, with money also going to the winners of race walking, the women’s heptathlon and the men’s decathlon. The governing body are also looking to exetend the prize money to silver and bronze medalists when the games go to Los Angeles in 2028. World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said, “While it is impossible to put a marketable value on winning an Olympic medal, or on the commitment and focus it takes to even represent your country at an Olympic Games, I think it is important we start somewhere…” In response to this decision by World Athletics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have stated: “The IOC redistributes 90 per cent of all its income, in particular to the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and International Federations (IFs). “This means that, evey day, the equivalent of $4.2m goes to help athletes and sports organisations at all levels around the world. It is up to each IF and NOC to determine how to best serve their athletes and the global development of their sport.” #olympics #paris2024 #olympicgames #parisolympics #prizemoney #worldathletic #athletics #trackandfield

I've been enjoying the Olympics this year more than any in decades. Super impressive efforts, a lot of great stories, and plethora of good role models from around the world. I suppose for me personally it's a combination of factors that has peaked my interest again, not least 6 days a week exercising -- just enough to appreciate what the best in the world do, and the challenges with KYield as we strive to be the best we can be. It feels a bit like it must feel for Julien Alfred from Saint Lucia -- a tiny island nation with scant resources, up against massive populations and budgets like the U.S. Yet she pulled off a stunning upset and won the gold in the 100 meter dash -- as have others in similar circumstances. Another reason is probably due to spending a year living in Paris in my youth. I didn't really give it much thought in advance, but this is one I would have liked to attend in person. Most of us have our favorite athletes -- certainly no shortage to choose from. One athlete I've followed for a few years at or near the top of my list is Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone who is amazingly undefeated in the 400 women's hurdles since 2019, and today crushed both the field and her previous world records with a new world record of 50.37 seconds to win the gold medal. Her previous world record was 50.65 seconds set in June at the U.S. Olympic trials (race video is in the LAT link below). It's incredible but she doesn't even seem tired. That's 6 world records for the event she's set. Had to feel for Femke Bol, who is also a great runner (Dutch) and thought to have the best chance of beating McLaughlin-Levrone, but she fell behind and finished third -- very upset after the race. Although there is no question that massive financial support and talent provides an advantage -- U.S. leading that list, unlike in our industry in the U.S. these days, the Olympics have rules that they enforce, so when it comes down to it those who make it to the arena have a much fairer playing field than in AI. Yes, the financial advantage helps, but as has been proven many times, it's motivation and training that (sometimes) makes the difference. No charades to keep athletes from competing, no anticompetitive behavior, no predatory pricing, no illegal strategic deal making or buying entire teams from other nations.... No attempt to keep better methods from competing. Let Big Tech and LLM firms try to compete with KYield on our resources. Go ahead -- give it a try. We'd crush them. They wouldn't have a chance. That's obviously the point of all the shenanigans and tsunami of predatory capital. Anticompetitive behavior helps win against some competitors -- particularly those of similar cultures and training, but it just motivates others.
