The need for national sportsmen in Singapore to serve national service has long been debated and discussed, and an optimal solution requires all stakeholders to lean in and work together. The latest long-term disruption for kitefoiler Max Maeder is a positive step forward. My thoughts in a commentary with CNA here: https://lnkd.in/g6NSwFxi.

Council of Europe is for #FairSport = #FairSocieties Today in Porto, at their 18th Conference, Council of Europe Sports Ministers adopted a resolution, underlining that in light of the societal benefits of sport, it has to be promoted as a common resource, fostering its social, health and educational role and preserving it for future generations. 🔗Text of the resolution: https://lnkd.in/d6hi6kam Ministers commit, and call for a fresh approach to #CollaborativeGoverning and #GoodGovernanceInSport. This notably implies for states and sport organisations to sustain a continuous dialogue with athletes, local clubs, concerned youth representatives and civil society, recognising them as instrumental partners in promoting values-based sport. The 19th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for Sport will be hosted by the Principality of Monaco in 2026. 👉 Deepend your knowledge about the Council of Europe and sport here:

Great to meet the awesome ActiveXchange APAC team and (re)connect with new & past industry leaders in person at the National Sports & Physical Activity Convention. it was a great opportunity to chat about common challenges & opportunities, and the scope for sports & leisure data-intelligence to be deployed to improve outcomes across the industry. 'Working together' was one of the common themes & key learnings from the conference, echoed in case studies from Australia and abroad. A number of use-cases helped to highlight the positive results or immediate need for organisations to consider new approaches and or collaborations for long term benefit. The better organisations can 'join the dots', (and the data!) in a cohesive way, especially in the changing landscape with economic headwinds, the better the industry can meet consumer expectations and the better the results.  

Olympics estimated to have average overspend of 156% of what has initially been budgeted, it's enough to make Olympics the most expensive sports organisation. And this raises questions like, Is it really profitable for countries to host such mega-projects? There are a lot to consider about, especially for developing countries.

The Paris 2024 Olympics takes place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 in France, featuring 329 events in 32 sports. But what does this have to do with accreditation? Like any large-scale event, the Summer Olympics requires rigorous standards for quality assurance and compliance. Accreditation plays a crucial role in ensuring that everything from testing laboratories to sports equipment meets high standards. These include, but are not limited to: 1) Testing equipment - Equipment used in various sports must be tested and certified for accuracy and safety. Accreditation ensures that this equipment meets the necessary standards. 2) Athlete management - Laboratories that perform testing on athletes must be accredited to ensure their results are reliable and internationally recognised. This helps maintain the integrity of the competition and ensures a level playing field. 3) Event management - Accreditation also extends to the management of the event itself, including facilities and procedures, to ensure that they meet international standards for safety, security, and fairness. IANZ wishes the New Zealand athletes competing in the Paris 2024 Games the best of luck.

Happy to share my latest paper on the widespread practices of clientelism, nepotism, and corruption (as part of institutional memory and continuity) within the Montenegrin Olympic Committee representing a key barrier in reforming the sports ecosystem in Montenegro. The paper confirms that so so-called “specificity of sports autonomy” has been largely misused through bureaucratization of relations, as it rests on a clientelist structure, from setting up closed policy networks to discretionary power exercised especially for transferring public funds to private sports organizations. Consequently, this undermines democratization efforts towards EU integration. As for the global sports movement, it is timely for the IOC to rethink the self-assessment of NOCs governance. 🔗⤵️ https://lnkd.in/d9gVS6xi Molde University College cc Managing Sport and Leisure ENGSO Youth ENGSO International Olympic Committee – IOC European Olympic Committees - EOC Play the Game Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH UNESCO Chair on Governance & Social Responsibility in Sport European Platform for Sport Innovation (EPSI) Council of Europe World Anti-Doping Agency European Sport Congress #sport #sports #Olympics #IOC #corruption #clientelism #nepotism #governance #public #administration #reform #doping
