In the world of sports, competition often drives athletes to push their limits and strive for victory. However, the story of Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy and Mutaz Essa Barshim of Qatar offers a beautiful reminder that generosity and camaraderie can shine even in the heat of competition. At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Tamberi and Barshim both reached an extraordinary height of 2.37 meters in the men's high jump final. Despite multiple attempts, neither could surpass this height, leading to a tie. Rather than continuing in a jump-off to determine a single winner, an unforgettable moment of sportsmanship unfolded. When the officials proposed a jump-off to break the tie, Barshim asked if they could share the gold medal instead. Without hesitation, Tamberi agreed. This unprecedented decision allowed both athletes to stand atop the podium, sharing the glory and joy of their achievement. This act of generosity and mutual respect transcends the competitive nature of sports. It highlights the values of friendship, respect, and the recognition that success is not solely defined by outdoing another but can also be shared. The story of Tamberi and Barshim is a powerful example for athletes and non-athletes alike. It teaches us that in life, as in sports, we can celebrate our achievements while also uplifting others. Their decision to share the gold medal reminds us that true greatness lies not just in winning but in our ability to show kindness and empathy, even in the most competitive environments. In a world often focused on individual success, the generosity shown by these two remarkable athletes offers a profound lesson in the importance of camaraderie and the enduring human spirit. Interesting moment of team spirit captured in the video. #motivation #whatinapiresme #olympicgames

Neeraj Chopra once again proves that a true champion is defined by more than just medals. When Pakistani javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem faced a critical equipment crisis ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics, Neeraj didn't hesitate to offer his support. This gesture showcases the power of sports to transcend borders and foster unity. As Indians, we can take pride in Neeraj not just for his athletic achievements, but for exemplifying the values of friendship and sportsmanship on the global stage. https://lnkd.in/gsZnTzpx

If you need reassurance about the state of humanity this story is for you. For the past two Olympics these two world class competitors have reminded us what it looks like to be a champion before the competition is over. Three years ago, in Tokyo, Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy and Mutaz Essa Barshim of Qatar made the headlines after they were unable to break the tie in the final of the high jump. When an official proposed a “jump-off” to determine the sole gold medalist, Barshim responded with “Can we have two golds?” With that one question, these athletes chose to redefine what it looks like to be at the height of your greatness- not standing above others, but standing beside them. This past week, 4 years later, in Paris, I watched as they showed not just the other athletes but all of us who were watching what true sportsmanship looks like. In the men’s high jump qualification round, Barshim ran towards the jump but pulled away at the last minute hopping in pain on one foot and then eventually going down to the ground. The first person to rush to his side was Tamberi who had just failed at his own jump. He could have chosen to stay focused on himself and what he needed to do for his next jump. Instead he rushed to his competitor’s side, thinking of Barshim’s needs over his own. In fact the first medical team member to arrive was someone from Puerto Rico’s team, a further testament to putting people first. Later, Barshim and Tamberi both completed their jumps making it to the final where Barshim finished with the bronze. In a world saturated with stories of division and headlines of despair, where negativity and hatred often steal the spotlight, we need moments like these. They remind us that we have a choice—a choice in how we carry each moment, in which handle we choose to hold. To not focus on what divides us but in the shared humanity that connects us. #parisolympics #highjump #championmindset #olympians #parisolympics2024 #sportsmanship #humanityfirst #weareallhuman #connectionmatters #goodnews #kindnessmatters #feelgoodstory #goodnewsonly #peoplefirst

Why is the nation celebrating Arshad Nadeem's gold medal? It's not just a gold medal; it's a monumental achievement. Arshad has surpassed all Olympians who have participated in the javelin throw since the inception of the modern Olympics, setting a new milestone with the longest javelin throw in history, 92.97 meters. What's even more remarkable is that he achieved this feat with no support from the government, no proper sponsorship, and inadequate facilities. Pakistan sent a small group of just 7 athletes to the 2024 Olympics, and winning a gold medal with an all-time Olympic record is nothing short of miraculous. 1) Imagine if the Pakistani government had properly invested in creating facilities for athletes instead of allowing financial leakages through corruption and misallocated spending. What's the point of having a sports ministry and a whole government staff if they can't even generate a team of 100 Olympians? Now, they are making generous prize announcements, which I simply call 'fiscal irresponsibility.' 2) To all the companies and business personalities who now want to associate themselves with Arshad Nadeem's victory, where were you when he and other athletes like him were looking for sponsorships? This behavior reflects the Pakistani corporate sector's reluctance to invest in future potential, preferring instead to spend their marketing budgets on trending Olympic stars. This is why South Asian countries struggle to perform well in the Olympics, it's a common story across the region. Let's celebrate Arshad's victory and reflect on how we can better support our athletes in the future. 🏅🇵🇰 #ArshadNadeem #OlympicGold #JavelinThrow #Pakistan #Sports #Athletics #SupportOurAthletes #FutureChampions #Olympics2024 #Inspiration #SportsMinistry #CorporateResponsibility

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐎𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 💥 The Paris Olympics will go down in history, but not for the reasons anyone would hope. From a gender crisis in female boxing to inadequate facilities, the event has been marred by a series of unacceptable failures.👎🏻 🥊 Gender Crisis in Female Boxing: The Paris Olympics witnessed a gender crisis in female boxing that deeply affected the competition. This led to a significant uproar, with many athletes and fans questioning the fairness and transparency of the sport at the event. 🍲 Bad Food Quality: The food served at the Paris Olympics was another major disappointment. The food was so bad that Indian boxer Nikhat Zareen did not eat food for 2 days. The lack of proper diet affected her performance, and she was visibly frustrated during interviews when she highlighted how the poor food quality directly impacted her strength and stamina in the ring. 🔥 No AC and Electricity Issues: The sweltering heat of Paris was made worse by a lack of air conditioning and constant electricity outages. The absence of basic amenities like air conditioning was inexcusable, especially for athletes who rely on optimal conditions to perform at their best. 🇮🇳 Discrimination Against Indian Athletes: The discrimination faced by Indian athletes was perhaps the most disheartening aspect of the Paris Olympics. Hockey team lost a crucial opportunity for a medal due to an alleged biased decision. This sparked outrage among Indian fans and athletes alike, who felt that such biases were blatantly unfair and tarnished the spirit of the Olympics. The Paris Olympics, once a beacon of hope for many, turned into a nightmare for Indian athletes. The combination of poor facilities, biased judging, and discrimination left a bitter taste, one that the world won't soon forget. It’s high time the IOC takes responsibility and ensures that such failures are never repeated.😔 How do you feel about the way the Paris Olympics unfolded? 💬 Share it with your network ✨ #ParisOlympics #SportsEquality #OlympicGames #IndianAthletes #GenderEquality #FairPlay #SportsNews

"As passionate Indians, we often find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of emotions when it comes to our athletes. However, it's crucial to approach these moments with a balanced perspective. Vinesh Phogat's disqualification at the Olympics, while undoubtedly disappointing, was a result of a technical violation. The rules governing these competitions are established for a reason, and it's essential to acknowledge their importance. While our hearts may ache for Vinesh and her team, it's equally important to recognize the efforts of other wrestlers, especially those who may have faced similar challenges but have not garnered as much attention. These wrestlers have sacrificed a lot and when a management failed to keep Vinesh’s weight under 50kgs, the management of other wrestlers did it with professionalism and awareness. It's a mistake to place the blame on the Olympic Committee. Why do we need to blame the Olympic Committee when there is a rule already set out? Vinesh's management and the athlete herself must bear responsibility for the situation. A more humble approach, acknowledging both Vinesh's contributions and the need to adhere to the rules, would be more constructive. Imagine a scenario where Vinesh had been disqualified by an opponent who weighed slightly more. Would we not have been equally vocal in protesting the decision? Our passion should extend to all athletes, regardless of their weight or nationality. As we await the outcome of the CAS hearing, let's approach the situation with patience and respect for the process. While we hope for a favorable result, it's essential to remember that sportsmanship and fair play are equally important." I am shocked to know that we are still waiting for the CAS hearing which might be in our favour. #ioc #ioa #parisolympics #india #cas #courtofarbitration #indianolympicassociation
