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.

Uniting the World - The Olympic Games are a global stage for athletic excellence, but beyond this, the Olympic Games have shown us that they're a powerful force for unity, connecting people from every corner of the world. The 2024 Olympics broke records and barriers alike, while the spirit of togetherness was at the heart of the Games. From gender parity to sustainability, from packed venues to fans lining the streets, Paris became a beacon of global community. Yet none of this would have been possible without the vital role played by the air transport industry. The Olympics bring together athletes, fans, and cultures from 206 National Olympic Committees and beyond, and it is air travel that makes this incredible convergence possible. The 8.8% surge in flights between Paris and the United States during August 2024 is a demonstration of how aviation connects the world, enabling millions to share in the joy and excitement of the Games. The Olympic Games remind us that when we come together, we can achieve greatness. A robust air transport industry ensures these connections are not just dreams, but seamless reality. #airtransport #olympicgames #paris2024 #technology #airconnectivity
