On this day (04/08/2024) 90 years ago, the British Empire Games opened in London. The week-long event was the second iteration of what is now called the Commonwealth Games, following its inauguration in Canada in 1930. The 1934 Games hosted 500 athletes from 16 nations, all of which were British colonies or Dominions. Events included athletics, swimming, cycling, and boxing, as well as the less familiar (to contemporary international multi-sport events, at least) lawn bowls competition. Come the end of the games, England topped the medals table with 29 gold medals, 20 silver, and 24 bronze; India brought up the rear with one bronze medal, just behind Southern Rhodesia on two. The British Empire Games were part of a tapestry of public events that encouraged British people to invest in, and engage with, the empire, with sports events in particular being able to “sports wash the British Empire’s reputation”. In fact, the forerunner of the British Empire Games, the Inter-Empire Championships, was a key component of the programme of the 1911 Festival of Empire. This meant that the events of boxing, swimming, and wrestling were part of a platter of entertainment that included tours of replica Jamaican sugar plantations, Māori villages, and Malay houses on stilts, as well as miniatures of iconic colonial buildings and an Indian pavilion. As Jeffrey Auerbach has put it, these exhibits “bolstered Britain’s sense of superiority . . . [and] encapsulate British efforts to control and contain the Empire”.

Countdown to the Olympics: Just 89 Days Left! The Olympics: a stage where triumph meets tribulation, and controversies intertwine with moments of sheer brilliance. From political tensions to stirring boycotts, from statements echoing global sentiments to the drama of drug bans (or reversals), every edition of the Games carries its unique blend of highs and lows. We all rejoice for the glorious moments coming from the winners, but what about those moments that do not make it to the podium but do make it to our hearts and minds forever. Among the plethora of such unforgettable instances, GQ Magazine's compilation of the top 10 moments stands out for me. Whether it's the emotional finish by Derek and his father, a scene that always makes me cry, or the unbelievable saga of the Stolen medal episode between the USSR and the US basketball teams or the Black Power Salute, each moment is so powerful! As we count down to the upcoming Games, let's cherish not only the victories but also the stories that define the true spirit of the Olympics – tales of resilience, unity, and the human spirit's triumph against all odds. Let the anticipation build as we prepare to witness history unfold once again. https://lnkd.in/eMJFS8dB

This is SO important. As fans, we revere and celebrate athletes across all sports. We recognise the dedication and sacrifice it takes to become an elite athlete. But when the time comes to retire from sport, often that’s when the real challenge begins for them. Many athletes face varied vocational, emotional and practical barriers when transitioning into work and life beyond sport. These interventions are extraordinarily valuable for elite athletes, but we also need more support from the private sector, for example by: funding more 1:1 help, supporting training and work experience, creating jobs, adjusting recruitment processes, and making reasonable adjustments to allow athletes to adapt and achieve their potential.
