But behind every record-breaking performance lies a science that is often overlooked—ergonomics. By understanding and applying ergonomic principles, athletes in various disciplines can optimize their movements, reduce the risk of injury, and maximize their performance. Let’s explore how ergonomics is crucial in sports like Pole Vault, Gymnastics, Air Pistol, and Fencing. Ergonomics is the unsung hero behind many Olympic victories. Whether it's the explosive power required in pole vaulting, the precision needed in gymnastics and air pistol shooting, or the agility demanded in fencing, ergonomic principles ensure that athletes can perform at their best while minimizing the risk of injury. By understanding and applying ergonomics, Olympic athletes can push their limits safely, achieving the extraordinary feats that captivate the world.

Paris 2024: The incredible story behind the Olympic and Paralympic medals The athletes who will compete at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 now have an extra motivation to reach the podium: in addition to bringing home a gold, silver or bronze medal, they will also take a small piece of Paris with them, materialised by a section of the Eiffel Tower integrated in each one. It all began with a rather special brief. Bring creativity and poignancy to a classic yet essential object symbolising the Olympic and Paralympic Games. But how can the medal be even more special? Is it possible to go beyond the traditional with something as classic and long-established as the medals? The answer: yes. By including a piece of France inside – literally. Chaumet, the French jewellery house, used its world-recognised expertise to take the concept to another level in order to magnify the idea, make it shine and give life to something that could have been ridiculous, but turned out to be quite special. This time, the designers didn’t have to deal with a timeless diamond or a ruby, but a material that had aged. They decided to think of it and work with it: the Eiffel Tower, at the centre of an exceptional jewel. Each medal made for Paris 2024, revealed on Thursday 8 February, has an original piece of the Eiffel Tower in it, and it comes with a supporting certificate of authenticity.

The name of the Paris 2024 mascot is Olympic Phryge, based on the traditional small Phrygian hats that the mascots are shaped after. The name and design were chosen as symbols of freedom and to represent allegorical figures of the French republic. As Paris 2024’s vision is to demonstrate that sport can change lives, the mascots will be playing a major role by leading a revolution through sport. The Olympic Phryge is decked out in blue, white and red - the colours of France’s famed tricolor flag - with the golden Paris 2024 logo emblazoned across its chest. Phrygian caps can be seen sat atop the head of the iconic figure Marianne in every town hall and even feature on everyday objects in France such as coins and stamps. They are also an international symbol of liberty worn by freed slaves in Roman times and appearing on different emblems in North and South America. Also known as the liberty cap, the Phrygian cap has become one of the symbols of the French Republic. The motto of the Olympic Phryge and Paralympic Phryge is: “Alone we go faster, but together we go further,” representing the ways in which the mascots, and the people of the world, can make each other better by working side-by-side. https://lnkd.in/gUgkVGcF

As the Paris 2024 Olympics kick off tomorrow and then the Paralympics, the world gathers to celebrate athleticism, unity, and excellence. Whether you’re a sports enthusiast or just love the spectacle, these games promise unforgettable moments as the world unites. For those of us as armchair athletes, there's a lot we can take away from what we are about to witness to apply to our own roles. So if the below aren't ticking your boxes, run, throw or swim me a message: Commitment: Athletes exemplify unwavering commitment. Whether it’s early morning training sessions, late-night recovery routines, or pushing through injuries, their dedication is unyielding. Determination: Athletes set goals and relentlessly pursue them. They visualize success, overcome obstacles, and refuse to give up. Teamwork: Even individual athletes rely on a team—coaches, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and fellow athletes. They understand that collective effort leads to victory. Resilience: Athletes face setbacks—losses, injuries, or missed opportunities. But they bounce back, learning from failures and using them as stepping stones. Focus: Amid distractions, athletes maintain laser-like focus. Whether it’s a sprinter at the starting blocks or a chess grandmaster, concentration is their superpower. Adaptability: Sports throw surprises—weather changes, opponents’ strategies, or unexpected hurdles. Athletes adjust swiftly, turning challenges into advantages. Passion: Love for the game fuels athletes. Passion drives them to train harder, compete fiercely, and savour every moment. Remember, these qualities extend beyond the field. We can all learn from athletes—whether we’re chasing medals, personal victories or a new role. #reed #reedaccountancy #reedfinance #olympics #paris2024 #XXXIII #rowing #swimming #athletics #sports #recruitment #hampshirejobs #southampton #portsmouth #winchester #armchairolympics

The second half of the Count Down to Paris doco will be on ABC News Channel at 6.30 tonight. Or you can catch the whole program on ABC iview and on the ABC News YouTube channel. I am so ridiculously proud of having co-produced this show for a number of reasons. Firstly, I am so ridiculously proud of the athletes who let us follow their journey, especially Jamieson Leeson for allowing me to be a part of her life for several months as I interviewed her and came to her training and competitions. Secondly, the documentary follows both Olympic and Paralympic athletes, this is important. A lot of people tend to see the Olympics as the absolute pinnacle of sport for all athletes, but the Paralympics, in terms of being the pinnacle for disabled athletes, holds the same weight and value as the Olympics. Never forget this. Olympians and Paralympians are all talented, motivated, passionate individuals when it comes to their sport— and our documentary shows this. The Olympics start next week and the Paralympics being on August 28th. [Video description: a selection of shots of athletes doing their sports, including cycling, kayaking, Boccia, climbing and diving. All the athletes are sharing what the Paris games will mean to them. Text them alles on the screen explaining we’ve been following these athletes journeys since late 2023 for the count down to Paris documentary.] #Olympics #Paralympics #SportMedia #Documentary #Empowerment #Leadership
