Lapel pins have become a significant part of Olympic history, serving as cherished memorabilia and symbols of unity, pride, and international camaraderie. These small yet impactful accessories are often designed with the iconic Olympic rings, the host country's emblem, and symbols representing the spirit of the Games. Athletes, officials, and fans alike exchange these pins as tokens of goodwill, making them valuable collectibles. The tradition of trading Olympic lapel pins dates back to the early 20th century, with its popularity surging in the 1980s. Collectors and enthusiasts eagerly seek rare and unique designs, some of which become prized possessions. Each pin represents a specific Olympic event, team, or milestone, encapsulating memories and experiences. Beyond their collectible appeal, lapel pins also play a role in fostering global connections. They serve as icebreakers, encouraging interactions between people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. The exchange of pins has become a ritual that embodies the Olympic values of friendship and respect. In essence, Olympic lapel pins are more than just decorative items; they are symbols of the shared human experience, bringing together individuals from around the world in celebration of athletic achievement and international unity. #lapelpins #Olympic

Delightful example of design for this round of Olympics with the use of Pictograms. Each sport has its own coat of arms that must have each of three criteria: a depiction of the action, a depiction of the playing field, and an axis of symmetry. These three elements then combine to create a unique symbol for each event. https://lnkd.in/eQbbrejN

When I tell people I work at Derrick, the follow-up is often, "What does Derrick do?" Depending on how much time I think they have, I go into one of my canned spiels because the truth is we do a whole lot. For instance, today, I can say we engineered and manufactured the equipment used to process and separate the sand used on the Beach Volleyball courts in the Champs-de-Mars at the 2024 Paris Olympics. That's what happens when you're a global leader in fine separation technologies for numerous industries and commodities. #DerrickCorporation #Paris2024 #Olympics
The best athletes deserve the best conditions to compete. If you've watched any of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, you may have noticed a new feature in Champ-de-Mars Park at the foot of the Eiffel Tower: a beach volleyball court. Believe it or not, that wasn't there before the games began. Our partners at Sibelco Group used Derrick's Stack Sizer® technology to process high-quality sand that met the stringent standards required for Olympic play. Nearly 2000 tons of naturally weathered sand is spread across the competition and warm-up courts. It's rewarding to know that our equipment was trusted to deliver such a critical component of this year's games in a location as iconic as the Eiffel Tower.

D Phil Oxford University Rhodes Scholar & Nurturing a Sporting Dream
Indian shooting’s upward trajectory raises medal hopes for Paris 2024 The 21 medals at the Asian Games last year, including seven golds, were a sign that Indian shooting was on a steep upward climb after a lull of a few years. And it wasn’t a one-off. As many as 21 Olympic quotas, the highest that India has managed, has raised hopes. With the shooters doing consistently well in international competitions, the optimism isn’t unfounded. Yes, many will say shooting was built up in a big way ahead of Rio and Tokyo, and it all came crashing down as the pressure mounted on the young shooters. They are right to be a touch apprehensive. And yet, things are different. Mentally, the shooters are in a very good space, and with the introduction of sports science, things seem very different this time round. Pressure situations are being simulated in back rooms, and there is every reason to believe the team will be ready. Hopes have soared and the country is now expecting a really good showing at the Olympics in Paris in July. And if the shooters are mentored and nurtured well, there is no reason why this hope will remain unfulfilled. From not winning a medal at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to winning 21 medals at the Asian Games, the transformation in Indian shooting has been a fascinating story. While much can still be done, it is now a structured system, which has its heart in the right place. It allows for an able mix of experience and youth, and hence, a Manu Bhaker or an Esha Singh is accompanied by a team of coaches, sports-science and mental-health experts and other support staff. While the system isn’t perfect yet, it is good enough to empower India’s shooters to try and be perfect on an imperfect day, as Abhinav Bindra had always aspired to be. As part of our Paris 2024 build-up, we spoke to Esha Singh, one of the brightest shooters on the horizon. We talked to her and to Ronak Pandit, her coach, in our endeavour to understand how the preparations are going on. It is part of a series of exclusive interviews supported by Tata Steel, and plenty more such shows will follow in the coming weeks. The show will be aired on all RevSportz platforms at 12 noon.

Director of AK Tennis / Providing Tennis Coaching for Strive Tennis & Skipton Tennis Centre / Specialising in VI Tennis
The use of tactile branding on clothing is so important for visually impaired tennis players as explained by Megan Hastings who competes regularly in the B1 category. "I'm really pleased with my Yonex t-shirt. It's a perfect fit, and I like its tactile branding. As I don't have any useful vision, being able to identify it by touch is important to me, and means I can easily find the t-shirt I want to wear on court. Most clothing brands don't think about tactile branding but it's actually really useful." #tennis #vitennis #visuallyimpaired #InclusiveSports #LetsTalkVISport #inclusivesport #blindawareness #lta #yonex #yonextennis #yonexuk
