When it comes to commitments in sports, should offers once made and accepted be rescinded? The recent development in the International Olympic Committee – IOC #Singapore Swimming Team raises some thought-provoking questions. Should the original team members who qualified for the Olympics be kept, or should one be replaced by a non-original member with an Olympic invitation? How do factors like past Olympic participation or career stage impact such decisions? Encouraging youth to dedicate themselves to sports and excel on a global stage is tough. The case of Quah Ting Wen highlights the challenges athletes face. What are your thoughts on this dilemma? How can we best support and uphold commitments to athletes striving for excellence? Whatever your response, it’s heartbreaking for Ting Wen Quah. The following quote from her probably says it best: “I will say the same thing that I said three years ago: I do not want this to ever have to affect anyone again,” CNA SPH Media The Straits Times #swimming #singapore #olympics #paris Link to the full article: [Read more](https://lnkd.in/gHNPnSbj)

#OlympicGames #GoldMedals #US During the vast majority of the 20th century, the U.S. won 10% of Summer Olympic medals. Among the sports with the highest medal counts are track and field and swimming, with 344 and 257 gold medals, respectively. American swimmer, Michael Phelps, has won more medals than any Olympic athlete ever, with 23 gold medals under his belt. Going further, almost 25% of all U.S. gold medals in Summer Olympic sports are from swimming. Ranking in second is the former Soviet Union, with 395 gold medals. During a period of heightened focus on elite athleticism during the Cold War, the USSR earned more medals than any other country during the 1956-1992 Summer Olympics, with the exception of 1968. It even won the most medals in 1992 after the dissolution of the “Soviet Union”. With 284 Summer Olympic gold medals, Great Britain falls next, thanks to its success in rowing, cycling, and track and field. Between 1984 and 2016, the Great Britain Team won a gold medal in rowing at every Summer Olympics game. Since returning to the Summer Olympics in 1984 after 30-year absence, China ranks fourth worldwide. Approximately 75% of Olympic gold medals have come from six sports, all found in the Summer Olympic Games. These include the undeniable success in table tennis, diving, shooting, weight lifting, and gymnastics. Not only that, two-thirds of China’s Summer and Winter Olympic gold medals are won by women.

Olympic champions - decades in the making Every time the Olympics roll around, I find myself fixed to the TV watching both familiar (track and field, swimming, etc.) and unfamiliar (table tennis, speed climbing, badminton, handball, etc) events. Aside from the fact that all the participants are bona-fide Olympians, they all share one common trait - they have all devoted many many years of preparation and hard work, sometimes through hardships and amid obscurity to get a chance to reach the podium and hear their country's anthem. Is it thrilling or glamourous to get up at dawn to work out and practice every day? No, of course not, but they do it anyway because they know that it's absolutely necessary just to have a shot at making the team, let alone win a gold medal. Does anyone think that any Olympian could possibly have started preparing a month ago, a year ago? No, that would be utter nonsense. At the same time, I'm often contacted by business owners looking to sell their business ASAP, right away, next month, with no preparation or any idea of how buyer will view and value their company. "Well, XYZ sold for 9x Ebitda so I should be able to get that, right?" That's like thinking you can just walk (or more accurately, swim) onto the Olympic water polo team and get yourself a medal. Selling a business takes preparation, analysis, and sometimes changing some things to make the business more valuable to potential buyers. Unless you've made those efforts, as unglamourous as they can be, you might as well be watching from your couch. "The key is not the will to win... everybody has that. It is the will to PREPARE TO WIN that is important." - Bobby Knight

With 42 Olympic champions leading its delegation, China is set to embark on its most ambitious Olympic outing abroad at the upcoming Paris Games. Among the 236 disciplines in which it will compete, Chinese athletes are expected to win multiple golds in traditional sports, particularly athletics, swimming, gymnastics, diving, shooting, boxing, and weightlifting. Yet this year, the game is changing. With the recent introduction of skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing in the last Olympics, and now breakdancing — sports scarcely older in China than the country’s Olympians who will be competing in them in Paris — new disciplines are set to test the boundaries of tradition and talent. With limited experience in these sports, how has China adapted to prepare these young athletes for the biggest sporting stage of all? Read more: https://ow.ly/NSaj50SCWXs
