I love the Olympics because they open our views to new cultures, countries, and sports. Who knew that my kids could develop an overnight passion for gymnastics, synchronized diving, swimming, skateboarding, etc? The games also have deeper significance for me now that I work at a company that is tied to the Olympics in such a unique way. Read below to learn more about O.C. Tanner's involvement in recognizing Olympic athletes... #Recognition #Olympics

The Commonwealth Games are one of earth’s great, and indeed most storied, sporting spectacles. Thousands compete for millions in-person and dozens of millions across the world in an event which, at first glance inexplicably, is on its last legs after 2026 host Victoria, Australia pulled out and sole prospective 2030 host Alberta, Canada followed suit. Luke Goddard impresses on us first and foremost, via an elaboration of the Games’ history and enduring socio-cultural salience, why the Commonwealth Games deserve their place in the pantheon of great global sporting events, before outlining the financial and other challenges threatening to wipe the Games out just before their centenary. Stressing how cutting edge they are from inclusivity to funding, Goddard contends that the Games are of unavoidably paramount importance to the world’s sporting communities, in particular for those countries and sports sidelined by the Olympics. Goddard’s intimate portrayal of the Games as a cultural landmark, and impassioned call to protect them, ultimately reduces the purportedly insurmountable challenges of hosting to the petty and the banal. #Olympics #CommonwealthGames #Sports #Culture https://lnkd.in/ejVSVmiX

America's strength in sports reflects its global position. Losing ground in E sports or traditional sports sends a powerful message to the world.

There is nothing modern about the modern pentathlon, but can the new 'modern' sports drive community participation? The #Brisbane2032 Games Legacy Strategy believes that "Hosting the Games will contribute to: Higher levels of physical activity leading to a healthier general population." They won't alone. To do so we need strategic legacy development that connects our children and youth with modern games/sports to local opportunities.

Every four years, the world gathers to witness the Olympics—a magnificent display of athletic prowess, determination, and the human spirit. Beyond the medals and record-breaking performances, the Olympics stands as a powerful testament to the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). **Diversity**: The Olympics brings together athletes from every corner of the globe, representing a myriad of cultures, languages, and backgrounds. Each athlete's unique story and journey remind us that our differences are our strength. **Equity**: The Olympics provides a platform where athletes, regardless of their socioeconomic background, gender, or nationality, have the opportunity to compete on an equal footing. Through initiatives that support underrepresented groups, the Olympics strives to level the playing field, ensuring that everyone has the chance to shine. **Inclusion**: The spirit of the Olympics is one of unity and solidarity. It’s about bringing people together, breaking down barriers, and fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. The inclusion of the Paralympics is a shining example of this commitment, showcasing the incredible abilities of athletes with disabilities and promoting a message of acceptance and belonging. As we watch the athletes compete and achieve their dreams, let us be inspired to bring the same principles of DEI into our workplaces and communities. #representation #access #inclusionandbelonging #unity #olympics #inspiration
