IOC Executive Board approved 2 +11 +7 athletes’ changes of sporting nationality for the Olympic Games Paris 2024. How does the power of States to grant citizenship matches with the rules governing sport competitions? The practice of athletes “swapping” nationality in order to participate to is not a novelty. The 1934 Italian squad that won the Jules Rimet trophy for the first time had as many as four Argentina-born ‘Oriundi’ — Luis Monti, Orsi, Enrique Guaita and Attilio Demaria. In each Olympic cycle, the controversy over whether athletes should be allowed to compete for a country where they are not from or do not live, resurfaces. The 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang featured 178 athletes competing for a non-native nation, about 6% of the total competing in South Korea. But, how does the power of States to grant citizenship matches with the rules governing sport competitions? https://lnkd.in/gdtNUQrU

It’s time to reflect on the 2024 Paris Olympics and the lessons we can learn from each athlete’s displays of heroism, sportsmanship, grit, and perseverance in the face of loss.

Albanese could of won the next election in a Landslide. How? We have 460 Olympic Athletes. He gave Papua New Guinea ~ $600 million for rugby! Not even our own Country. Singapore is a tiny Island. Australia is a huge Island. Singapore athletes get ~$1 million for Gold. Australian athletes get $20,000. If they got $1,000,000 for the 18 gold, $750,000 for silver and $500,000 for bronze. The total of $40,250,000, would have made Albanese a Legend. Then give the remaining $557,750,000 million to PAPUA NEW Guinea Electric power network. This would of stopped China moving in and taking over Papua New Guinea. Now China is just a little bit away from Albanese’s Welfare Lodge which will be Chinas next move. https://lnkd.in/gXf9j2yV

The performance gap between Ethiopian heritage athletes and their counterparts in Ethiopia highlights the need for a renewed focus on sports development within the country. Investing in state-of-the-art training facilities, enhancing coaching standards, and providing comprehensive support for athletes could help bridge this gap. Moreover, creating more opportunities for international competition and exposure could enable Ethiopian athletes to compete on an equal footing with their peers abroad. https://lnkd.in/euaKBK36

“Who really won the Olympics?” The Times listed the best and worst-performing nations at the Games, with New Zealand coming out on top in the former category. New Zealand has been labelled the “overachievers” of the Paris 2024 Olympics after a record gold-medal haul. “Athletes from New Zealand logged an impressive haul of 20 medals at Paris 2024, despite having a population of just over 5 million. Their rate of one medal per 258,000 people is the best among nations to win at least four this summer,” the article says. New Zealand finished 11th on the medal table with 10 gold, seven silver and three bronze, ahead of the likes of Canada, Spain, Sweden and Brazil. The US edged out China to top the table, with the 40th gold coming in the women’s basketball final in which they edged hosts France 67-66. China also finished with 40 gold medals, but had fewer silver and bronze than the US. Australia, France and Grenada were also picked as overachievers. “New Zealand’s neighbours, Australia, boast the best medal rate by gross domestic product (one per $35 billion) among countries to have a GDP in excess of $1 trillion. This has been their best Olympics in terms of gold medals won (18), going beyond the tally they amassed at their home Games in Sydney in 2000 (16),” the article says. Of the 20 total medals, 14 were won by females or female teams. #Olympics #NewZealand
