The Discovered Olympics - A Meet The Team Special 🇫🇷 As we countdown to tonight's Olympic opening ceremony, we thought we should reintroduce our very own Talent Olympians!

Here are their answers. ⬇️ Which sport would you like to win one in? #disruptingthefuture #parisolympics #meettheteam #olympics2024

Ice Baths don’t win you Gold Medals! Resources matter, but they aren't everything. The latest gear and facilities can help, but in my journey to gold in 2008 and 2016, it was my mindset and my team that made the real difference. With the Olympics just ended and the Paralympics starting next week, it’s easy for athletes to compare their resources to others. The same applies in business—too often, we focus on things that aren't important. Keep it simple. Focus on what truly matters: your mindset, your team, and the process. The outcomes will follow.

As the Olympic Games are being held this year in Paris, I thought it would be interesting to explore how the Olympians earn their chance at gold, silver, or bronze. It turns out that, just like in the world of finance, the path to the Olympics is paved with strategic planning, diligent effort, and a fair bit of competitive spirit. Paris 2024 Olympic Games Paris 2024 will be held from 26 July to 11 August of this year and will include Aquatics, Athletics, and Boxing. New categories like breaking (as in break-dancing, I kid you not) will grace the games, as over 10,000 athletes from over 200 countries compete in 306 medal events. The Right Stuff? When it comes to qualifying, each sport has a different metric by which they judge. Some are based on individual performances, others on the collective strength of national teams. Sports like shooting and taekwondo offer quotas for places earned by individual athletes, which helps prevent a small number of countries from dominating any event. However, even then, the final say on who fills those quota places lies with the athlete's respective National Olympic Committees (NOCs). Dream Teams In team sports, nations secure their spots through performances in World Championships, continental competitions, or global qualifiers. This rigorous selection process ensures only the highest-performing athletes represent their countries on the international stage, making each event a (hopefully) thrilling spectacle of skill and sportsmanship. Talk about inspiring! The dedication, coordination, and grit needed to arrive at this global stage is just "awesome" in every sense. Olympics.com, 2024

Paris Summer Olympics 2024: Where to Watch the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

Transport - Olympic & Paralympic Games. Planing transportation for any Olympic & Paralympic Games is tough. A ton of moving parts that all have to be in sync for the transport plan to succeed. As the City of Los Angeles gears up for the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic a Summer Games, it's imperative that the United States government lends its support to ensure seamless transport planning and operations. Here's a video of the US Secretary of Transportation explaining to the US Congress Subcommittee on Transportation about the importance of its collaboration with the LA28 Organizing Committee, the City of Los Angeles, and CALDOT which is essential to guaranteeing efficient movement of athletes, spectators, and goods, showcasing the US's commitment to hosting world-class events while enhancing infrastructure and mobility for all. #LA28 #Olympics #Paralympics #TransportPlanning
