Pan Zhanle's interview before he left for Paris is finally being broadcasted. He requested for it not to be released during the interview. He had his reason. But since he has won, there is no reason for it not to be broadcasted anymore. Good tactic! He broke 46 seconds by swimming 45.92 seconds in the 4x100m relay! It's almost impossible for anyone to break 45 seconds in the next few decades anymore. That would be really "not humanly possible" unless of course, you are Pan Zhanle! Now if you want to look as athletic as Pan Zhanle or King Arthur, you need to swim like Pan Zhanle or King Arthur. It is humanly possible to do it. The question is whether it is also humanely possible? If you think that it is neither humanly possible nor humanely possible to swim like Pan Zhanle or King Arthur, then the second-best option is to get liposuction done by King Arthur! Get your liposuction done at special "Not humanly possible?" price! Offer only valid till the closing ceremony of Paris Summer Olympics.

🌊 Breaking news from the City of Light: Mayor Anne Hidalgo just swam in the Seine River! This isn't just any swim—it's a $1.5 billion statement. After a century-long ban, the Seine is open for Olympic business. Picture this: Olympic athletes racing where countless baguettes once floated. It's not just about sports; it's a complete urban metamorphosis.🥖 As we watch the Seine transform, let's consider: How do global events reshape our cities? What's the ripple effect on local economies? Food for thought as we witness history in the making. The world stage isn't just for athletes but also for visionary civic planning! #Paris2024 #UrbanDevelopment #EconomicImpact Source: https://lnkd.in/gSZHBxyS

Later this week, my home country of France will host an estimated 15 million visitors and millions more viewers of the Olympics (July 26 - August 11) and Paralympics (August 28 - September 8). This will be France's sixth occasion hosting the Olympics and I will be proudly present in Paris to admire the tennis players smashing yellow balls. 🎾 Whether you admire the Games for their athleticism or national pride, they deliver a spectacular experience. People generally perceive winning the bid to host the Olympics as an honor. However, there is growing concern about the negative financial, environmental, and social impacts. The Olympics is a complex catalyst for urban redevelopment.

As a big track & field (a.k.a. athletics) fan, I often get frustrated when people who don’t understand the sport put their ignornance on display. I saw so many comments on social media about Kishane Thompson getting robbed in the 100. That Noah Lyles did not deserve to win. But track has clear rules. The winner of a race is the one whose torso crosses the line first. Not the foot. Not the hand. Not the head. Only the torso counts. And photo-finish technology makes it impossible to make an error. This technology tells you the place and time of every runner in the race. In this video, Ato Boldon, who I think is the best track & field commentator and analyst, does an excellent job of explaining the race.

Tomorrow is the start of the Paris Olympic Games! The United Kingdom is the only nation that has been represented at every modern Olympic Games and Team GB have won a gold medal at every summer Olympics since 1896! The modern Olympic Games were inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. The modern Games were revived in the late 19th century by Baron Pierre de Coubertin and have been held every four years since 1896, with the exception of interruptions due to World War I and World War II. Clearly this needs a new mug of history @teamGB @Paris2024 #Olympics #TeamGB #Paris #TheBest https://lnkd.in/evTzsDJM https://lnkd.in/dxreBMic

At Blue Peak Strategies, we dearly hold the ethos and pathos that define the Olympic spirit—an ethos of respect, unity, and global camaraderie. We are profoundly dismayed by the recent actions of the Paris International Olympic Committee (IOC) organizers in allowing the portrayal of the Last Supper with drag queens, which was acknowledged only after significant public backlash. This decision not only contradicts the Olympic spirit but has also deeply offended our associates from diverse backgrounds and faiths. We stand with them in condemning this portrayal, which shows a troubling insensitivity to the sacred symbols and traditions that many hold dear. Such actions undermine the very foundations of respect and understanding that should be at the heart of the Olympics and all its associated cultural exhibitions. We urge the organizers to not only address this lapse in judgment but also to take definitive steps to ensure that future exhibitions fully respect and reflect the diverse tapestry of global cultures and beliefs. The Olympics should be a time for bringing people together, not dividing them through insensitive portrayals. #RespectOurFaiths #GlobalRespect #StandWithBelievers #Olympics2024
