In 2025, the fate of padel in the Olympics should be decided. All fans of padel hope that one day it will become an Olympic sport. It is clear that it will not be at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, but there is hope for its inclusion in the Brisbane 2032 games. Meanwhile, any sport to become an Olympic sport must meet certain criteria (these can be found in International Olympic Committee (IOC) regulations: It must have an international set of rules and a governing organization. The international organization must abide by the IOC rules. Sport must follow and implement the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) system. Sport should not use machines or any devices with motors. It is easy to understand that all of the above criteria are met by Padel. However, there is another requirement that it does not currently fulfill: the sport must be practiced in 75 countries on four continents for men and 40 countries on three continents for women. The official FIP website now lists 71 countries in the list of national federations, with Europe and the Americas in complete dominance. In Africa, there are federations in three countries - Egypt, Senegal and Tunisia, and for the whole of Oceania - only in Australia and New Zealand. This, however, gives hope that somewhere else 4 more federations can be opened in a year.

Team China's performance at the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games was record-breaking. Athletes from the Chinese mainland took home 91 medals, their greatest achievement in an overseas Olympic Games. Global audiences consider this feat a reflection of China's overall progress, showcasing the nation's ability to compete and excel in a highly competitive global arena. The country is no longer just dominant in a few select traditional disciplines such as diving, table tennis and weightlifting. It is becoming a well-rounded athletic powerhouse, staging successful performances across a wide range of sports. Aside from the pride and glory of sporting success, this accomplishment may carry profound economic implications that could shape the future of China's economy and its global standing.

Did you know that Olympic rings are intertwined with each other, showing that the Olympic Games are more about harmony and goodwill bringing together some of the best athletes from each countries and celebrating sports in the biggest way possible.  Olympic values are excellence, respect and friendship are the three core principles and central focus at the Olympic Games. ‘The goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.’   2024 Olympics final medal count: U.S., China make history with 40 gold medals each; Americans earn most medals in 40 years.

From a humble start with just five golds in 1988, China's Olympic journey has been a tale of relentless dedication and progress. Excelling in sports like diving, shooting, gymnastics, table tennis, badminton, and weightlifting, China consistently finished in the top three of the Olympic medal table since Sydney 2000. The 2008 Beijing Olympics saw China top the medal table with 48 golds. In the just concluded Games, China tied with the U.S. on gold medals, showcasing its growing dominance in global sports. Its success can be attributed to the following: 1) Cultural emphasis on discipline and hard work: Chinese culture values discipline, hard work, and perseverance, which are essential qualities for athletes striving for excellence. This cultural background fosters a strong work ethic among Chinese athletes. 2) State-sponsored athletic programs: China's centralized approach to sports development, with early talent identification and specialized sports schools, allows them to systematically cultivate a large pool of elite athletes. 3) Focus on specific sports: China strategically prioritizes sports where they have a competitive advantage or a strong tradition, maximizing their chances of winning medals. These factors, combined with relentless dedication and progress, have contributed to China's impressive Olympic journey from 1988 to 2024.
