🏟️Above and beyond… The 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games will shortly be underway, but for many, the preparations started a long time ago, with the investment of their time, commitment, and winning mindset. The mission of the International Olympic Committee – IOC is “to unite the world in peaceful competition and foster an atmosphere of peace, development, resilience, tolerance and understanding.” The Olympics present us with an opportunity to display all of these values in everything we do and are striving to become. In four years, save for exceptional circumstances, our athletes will repeat it all again at the 2028 Olympics, but imagine having to wait four years to have your day in court, to give testimony, to recall events, and to have your life put on hold because of the continued delays in our court system. Imagine being caught up in a system that is so backlogged that some victims are giving up and withdrawing their support for prosecutions, resulting in some cases collapsing. Imagine being a victim, witness, or defendant and having your case listed four years or more after the alleged crime. The point I am making is to highlight the stark contrast between the efficiency and dedication we celebrate in sports and the inefficiencies of our justice system. Just as we invest in the Olympic Games, we must invest in our justice system to ensure timely and fair access to justice for all. #SocialJustice #OlympicGames #CourtBacklogs #AccesstoJustice

The Commonwealth Games are one of earth’s great, and indeed most storied, sporting spectacles. Thousands compete for millions in-person and dozens of millions across the world in an event which, at first glance inexplicably, is on its last legs after 2026 host Victoria, Australia pulled out and sole prospective 2030 host Alberta, Canada followed suit. Luke Goddard impresses on us first and foremost, via an elaboration of the Games’ history and enduring socio-cultural salience, why the Commonwealth Games deserve their place in the pantheon of great global sporting events, before outlining the financial and other challenges threatening to wipe the Games out just before their centenary. Stressing how cutting edge they are from inclusivity to funding, Goddard contends that the Games are of unavoidably paramount importance to the world’s sporting communities, in particular for those countries and sports sidelined by the Olympics. Goddard’s intimate portrayal of the Games as a cultural landmark, and impassioned call to protect them, ultimately reduces the purportedly insurmountable challenges of hosting to the petty and the banal. #Olympics #CommonwealthGames #Sports #Culture https://lnkd.in/ejVSVmiX

Do we really need the Olympic Games? What do you think? The Statista chart "The Huge Costs Behind The Olympic Games" displays the estimated costs of hosting the Olympics since 1988, in billion U.S. dollars. Notable figures include Barcelona (1992) at $11.6 billion, London (2012) at $16.8 billion, and Sochi (2014) at $28.9 billion. The chart highlights significant cost overruns, with Lillehammer (1994) at 277% and Rio de Janeiro (2016) at 352%. While the Olympics showcase the incredible dedication and training of athletes, the enormous financial burden and frequent budget overruns raise questions about the necessity of such events. #Olympics #CostOverruns #OlympicGames #FinancialBurden #Statista #SportsEconomics #EventManagement #AthleteDedication #PublicSpending #SportsFunding
