How do people come up with the idea of adding up all the medals won by the USA, China or the EU countries and deriving success from this? In sport in particular, all countries work independently and not according to American, Chinese or EU guidelines. If you see an EU team here, please don't forget that only 2 starters or 1 team are allowed to compete per competition, i.e. not 30 or 15 as in Paris. Apart from how the selection process within the EU is supposed to work, the medal haul would be significantly lower. In this respect, the medal table per capita is probably closer to the truth 🥇🥈🥉 https://lnkd.in/dgDFEGxr

One of the many reasons I accepted the #sportspharmacy consultant position to design, lecture and help launch the most #comprehensive sports pharmacy program (with a #clinicalsportspharmacist embedded with sports medicine/ athlete care!) in the US, is this: https://lnkd.in/gY32VWHz (present and past, a long list of the highest performers in their sports) Maybe some of these athletes took an ibuprofen or allergy pill or cream or any drug that might impact their performance, and for which we must check the status in sport before its used. #Athletes need more Qualified Sports Pharmacist they can look to for help as clean athletes. The stars were aligned with many other key factors, as well, to develop this as International Sports Pharmacists Network partnered with the USC Mann School of Pharmacy: >> Pharmacy Administrative leadership championed the idea, are knowledgeable and share a vision, >>the depth of experience and dedication and awareness of their medical professionals for athletic services, >>the relationship the outpatient pharmacist already had supporting the team, >>the interest of the pharmacy students, >>engagement with other departments, >>willingness to reform structures that had been silos, >>innovation with pharmacy counseling and public interface for the sports pharmacist, >>and more.

Heading to the Olympics in France: Here’s What You Need to Know

The French Olympic organizing committee decided that there would be no air conditioning at any of the venues, residence halls or practice facilities. It made sense to them since AC is not widely used in France. It didn't make sense to athletes from the US and many other countries. As a result, thousands of AC units have been purchased and are in use to keep athletes, staff and fans reasonably cool. This illustrates a very important point when it comes to International Standards. For example, ISO 16890 - the air filter test standard - is based on a different world of filters. To most Europeans an air filter looks like this:

As a big track & field (a.k.a. athletics) fan, I often get frustrated when people who don’t understand the sport put their ignornance on display. I saw so many comments on social media about Kishane Thompson getting robbed in the 100. That Noah Lyles did not deserve to win. But track has clear rules. The winner of a race is the one whose torso crosses the line first. Not the foot. Not the hand. Not the head. Only the torso counts. And photo-finish technology makes it impossible to make an error. This technology tells you the place and time of every runner in the race. In this video, Ato Boldon, who I think is the best track & field commentator and analyst, does an excellent job of explaining the race.
