Last week, the Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics & Paralympics released a report titled "Passing the Torch - Modernizing Olympic, Paralympic, & Grassroots Sports in America." The report touches on a wide range of topics, from support for grassroots initiatives, to the Olympic bid process to the role and independence of the Athletes' Commission. Several findings focus on the state of the American Safe Sport system and the challenges faced by the U.S. Center for SafeSport since it was established in 2017. While still in the process of a detailed consideration of the 277 page report, an initial review highlights numerous lessons learned and parallels that are applicable within the Canadian context, particularly as we continue to navigate the Abuse-Free Sport structure. Notably, a key recommendation highlights that the American system has a structural weakness in their governance model and funding mechanism, with a reliance on user fees paid by national sport governing bodies to support the SafeSport operations, resulting in potential incentives for organizations to deter participants from coming forward with complaints of misconduct. This structure undermines the trust in the independence and accountability of the entire system. In recommending that the U.S. Center be structured as an independent agency which is directly (and fully) funded by the federal government, the Commission notes that “...if athletes’ safety is as much a public value as fair competition, SafeSport needs to have public support.” More to come. https://www.csusop.org/ #safeguarding #safesport #linkedinsports

Transport - Olympic & Paralympic Games. Planing transportation for any Olympic & Paralympic Games is tough. A ton of moving parts that all have to be in sync for the transport plan to succeed. As the City of Los Angeles gears up for the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic a Summer Games, it's imperative that the United States government lends its support to ensure seamless transport planning and operations. Here's a video of the US Secretary of Transportation explaining to the US Congress Subcommittee on Transportation about the importance of its collaboration with the LA28 Organizing Committee, the City of Los Angeles, and CALDOT which is essential to guaranteeing efficient movement of athletes, spectators, and goods, showcasing the US's commitment to hosting world-class events while enhancing infrastructure and mobility for all. #LA28 #Olympics #Paralympics #TransportPlanning

Wondering who to root for at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics? My New Favorite Olympian and My New Favorite Paralympian will immerse you in the stories of seven Team USA athletes outside their sport. The first episode will be released June 12.

Do you know what #Paralympics stands for? I can tell you it 100% is NOT a shortened term for "paraplegic" Olympics. It derives from the Greek preposition “para” (beside or alongside), in other words a parallel #Olympics for people with disabilities. So why the break between the Olympics and the Paralympics?... Why not run it all at once? Fundamentally, it takes a significant amount of logistics to bump out Olympic athletes from 329 events in 32 sports from the village only for Paralympic athletes competing in a staggering 549 events in 22 sports to arrive and get setup! We're only at half time. Let the Games begin! #ImagineWhatWeCanDo
