Last week confirmed our instinct that the #Notodoha story will continue to grow in significance, as we approach the 2024 World Aquatics Championship meet in Doha, Qatar. CNN covered the subject on The Lead with Jake Tapper on Tuesday. https://lnkd.in/gCfR8QYF Here is an earlier assessment of the situation in print, from RealClearPolitics. https://lnkd.in/ggdF7pyd And, more recently from the Orange County Register. https://lnkd.in/g-etr67D People keep asking me what I hope to achieve. They wonder whether I realistically think the International Olympic Committee – IOC will come to recognize their responsibilities to those athletes who compete under their leadership. If they want to be respected as the acme of the global sports movement, then they should act as if. How do you feel about the situation? ❓ ❔ ❓ ❔ Much appreciation to my favorite behavioral economist, Dan Ariely, for helping to design a survey that tries to answer some of these questions. If you have a couple minutes, please fill out this short questionnaire. And, send along to your favorite swimming pals, as we'd especially like to hear from them. https://lnkd.in/gaVp8mGF #notodoha #safetyfirstexceptforjews #swimming #swimcoach #swimmingcoach #ioc #worldaquatics #leadership

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has banned Russia and Belarus from the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The ban applies to both the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the National Olympic Committee of Belarus. However, athletes from the two countries would still be allowed to compete as neutrals, provided they meet certain criteria. The IOC’s decision is still being appealed by the Russian Olympic Committee, but it is unlikely that the ban will be lifted before the start of the 2024 Olympics. #iontrendz #exploremore #update #Trendsetta #news #newsupdate #viral #stayconnected #staytuned #followusformore #shoutout #information #trending #viral #trendingnow #trendingtopic #explorepage #media #Olympics #olympics #olympics2024 #russia #Paris #paris #belarus

5 things we learned from the Africa Cup of Nations

The current African Cup is already considered one of the most outstanding in terms of sensations and unexpected results.

Faryal Makhdoom, wife of former boxing champion, Amir Khan, recently received a warning message from an Israeli organisation offering to reward her "lucratively" if she would support Israel instead of Palestine. #FreePalestine #AmirKhan #FaryalMakhdoom #Boxer #Israel #Palestine #IrsraelPalestineWar #IsraelPalestineIssue #israeli #palestinian #palestinians #freepalestine #latestnews #palestineupdate #savepalestine #palestinenews #justiceforpalestine #HamasAttack #GazaAttack #viral #internationalnews #news #newsupdate #breakingnews #explore #exploremore #internationalnews #explorepage #tbt #theburaaqtimes

#FromAfrica2TheWorld During the Season 4 of the National Basketball Association (NBA)’s BAL, we were pleased to demonstrate - whether through our phenomenal coach or through the amazing players of the Cape Town Tigers - that bringing to the fore the very best from the #LocalTalent of #SouthAfrica then pairing them with global expertise and experience - is ultimately the #Optimal and #Sustainable solution. Never underestimate the power of #Optimizing local talent! This truth applies not only to #SportsBusiness but also to many sectors across #Africa.

The Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon are set to host Nigeria today at the Reunification Stadium for the third round of the 2024 Paris Olympic qualifiers. This crucial match promises to be a classic showdown between two football powerhouses. In a pre-match press conference, I spoke with one of the most experienced players in the Indomitable Lionesses squad, Claudine Falonne Meffometou. I asked her if missing out on the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is enough motivation to strive for the Olympics. She responded: "We have to always be motivated when we want to play a game. Besides, it’s an important match, and we’ll be playing at home. Years have gone by, and tomorrow will be another game. I always feel disturbed talking about the same thing concerning the team. We are ready, and tomorrow (today) we will give our best.” Meffometou's response The Indomitable Lionesses face a determined Nigerian side that aims to end their 16-year Olympic drought. Historically, Nigeria has won nine out of the 11 encounters with Cameroon. However, today’s match promises to be fiercely contested. Cameroon’s home advantage may play a crucial role, but Nigeria has won three of their last six meetings with the Lionesses, keeping five clean sheets in the process. I still believe in Cameroons potential and can't wait to see them roar at the reunification stadium.
