SYNERGIE Czechia&Slovakia’s Post

In a world often focused on winning at all costs, this story of true integrity stands out. During the Burlada Cross Country race in Spain on December 2, 2012, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was leading the race when he mistakenly stopped short of the finish line, thinking he had already crossed it. Spanish runner Iván Fernández, who was right behind Mutai, saw what had happened. Instead of seizing the opportunity to take first place, Iván chose to do something extraordinary. He shouted at Mutai to keep going, but Mutai didn’t understand Spanish. Realizing this, Iván gently guided Mutai to the finish line, ensuring he secured the victory he rightfully earned. When asked why he didn’t take advantage of the situation, Iván replied, “He was going to win. The race was his.” He added, “What would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal?” Iván Fernández’s actions remind us that true victory isn’t just about crossing the finish line first. It’s about integrity, respect, and helping others to achieve their best. This story teaches us that the values we pass on—honesty, ethics, and compassion—are far more important than the accolades we might gain. As the world turns its attention to the Olympics and sports are a hot topic, let’s remember and share stories like these that highlight the essence of true character. This isn’t just about sportsmanship; it’s about the values that define us as human beings. Let’s inspire each other to build a community where we push and help each other to succeed. Because in the end, true winning is about lifting others up. #Olympics #Compassion #Integrity #Inspiration #Values #Running #Kindness #TrueCharacter

How do you beat $400m with $40m? With the America's Cup now in full swing in Barcelona, we thought we'd share the story of one of the greatest innovation triumphs—how Team New Zealand earned their maverick legacy by pioneering the 'cyclor' system in 2017. To unpack the true genius behind their performance, we've analysed the innovation through a systems thinking lens with Kumu—a powerful tool for mapping complexity.  Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eUFAjVS4 (Viewing on a larger screen is recommended) #Innovation #SystemsThinking #TeamNewZealand #AmericasCup #Cyclor #StrategicInnovation #Kumu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ♻ Please share if you've found this interesting and follow us for insights on systems thinking and how it applies to experience design

🏅 It's not just preparation and luck that determine how many medals we win at the Olympics. 🏅 We had a fascinating discussion with Gergely Csurilla, a researcher at the HUN-REN Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, Institute of Economics (HUN-REN KRTK Institute of Economics), about the factors influencing Olympic success. From a nation's past performance and economic investment in elite sports to analysing massive #data sets tracking athletes' profiles and achievements, predicting Olympic outcomes is a complex science. 🏊♂️ 🏃♀️ #Sports like #swimming and #athletics, which are performance-based, allow for more consistent success. However, sports with higher luck factors, like fencing and water polo, can still see extraordinary achievements. 🤽♂️ Some countries strategically focus on sports with fewer competitors and lower luck factors to maximize their gold medal chances. For example, after 2004, the U.S. ramped up support for water polo, leading to a remarkable Olympic final in 2008. Similarly, China reorganized its sports system to excel at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They identified events with fewer participating countries, thus reducing competition and the luck factor, making it more likely to win medals. This significantly reshaped the Olympic medal table. One thing is sure: all the hard work that goes into every Olympic medal deserves great appreciation! 🥇 🥈 🥉 Learn more about this complex science from our interview! #HUNREN #Research #Innovation #Impact #OlympicGames #OlympicGames2024 #Olympics #OlympicMedals #SportsScience #HUNRENKRTK #KRTK #GoldMedal #StrategicPlanning

Reflecting on a profound conversation with Mister Enkhamgalan Dorjsuren, I’m compelled to share our exchange that not only touched on the essence of humanity but also planted the seeds for a new chapter in the world of Padel, specifically in Mongolia. "Drink water and respect its source," he urged. This simple act is a reminder to appreciate the fundamental elements that sustain us. "We have all forgotten what it means to be truly human," Enkh-Amgalan observed. In a system driven mad by its own complexities, he proposes a return to the natural order, one where kinship and family reign supreme. "We are not defined by gender, although we possess it. We must recognize that fear is but a fleeting thought," he continued, articulating a vision of existence where labels and constraints are shed in favor of a more liberated state of being. He sees us all as Earthlings, integral parts of the living world, with life being the symphony of experiences, and death, merely the cessation of these melodies. Interestingly, Enkh-Amgalan pointed out a fun fact: Padel is played within enclosures that resemble cages. Yet, his vision for Padel in Mongolia is anything but confined. He imagines a holistic approach to the sport, one that aligns with the rhythms of nature, embodying the balance and harmony we often seek. Through this exchange, we touched on the philosophy of life, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the simple truths that bind us. With his insight and our shared ambitions, we stand on the cusp of introducing Padel to Mongolia—not just as a sport but as a conduit for the values we cherish. As we embark on this endeavor, I am excited to share our vision with my network on LinkedIn. Here's to a new era in Padel, one that celebrates our natural roots and fosters a community that is both inclusive and respectful of the environment—a testament to the essence of the great Mongolian spirit. #Humanity #Nature #Padel #Innovation #CommunityBuilding #MATCHi #TPCMatchpoint #Mongolia #Sportsmanship #EnvironmentalRespect #BraekiePadelSolutions
