Watching the Olympics this weekend, I remembered when Michael Phelps absolutely dominated at the Rio Olympics in 2016, and this photo was in almost every magazine and newspaper around the world. Initially, the rivalry between de Clos and Phelps was my main interest (and it's an interesting story; you can read more via the link below), but as I looked more closely at the image, something else struck me...the singular focus by Phelps on the task at hand. He and de Clos had trash-talked each other and had waffled between being friends, enemies and "frenemies," but if you look closely, de Clos is more interested in taunting Phelps than in winning, and Phelps is wholly focused on his end goal...being the best he can be. This is a fantastic metaphor for life...don't worry about anyone else, their victories...or failures...just concentrate on the task at hand. You may not win the race (or maybe you will), but the race isn't the end goal; being better than you were before is the ultimate win. #MotivationMonday #focus #goaldigger #motivation #goals #mindset #success #business #LeaderofthePack #DontLookBack #concentration Phelps/de Clos Rivalry: https://buff.ly/4c2HEGH

🌟 #Olympic Medalists Countries Display of sporting prowess : What Drives Success? The Economist explore the factors that contribute to a country's success in the Olympics. #GDP: Wealthier countries tend to perform better, but it's not the only factor. #investment : decent amount of money to invest in training and facilities #Population: Larger populations can provide a broader talent pool, but smaller countries can still punch above their weight. #TalentPool: Access to quality training facilities, coaches, and resources is crucial. A few notes from The previous Economist magazine : 1. "The most successful countries at the Olympics tend to be those with a strong sporting culture, a large talent pool and a decent amount of money to invest in training and facilities." - The Economist, 2012 2. "The relationship between GDP per head and Olympic success is strong... Richer countries can afford to spend more on sports infrastructure, coaching and training." - The Economist, 2016 3. "Population matters, but it is not the only factor... Small countries can punch above their weight if they have a strong sporting culture and invest wisely in training and facilities." - The Economist, 2018 4. "The Olympics are as much about brains as brawn... Mental toughness, strategy and teamwork are just as important as physical strength and endurance." - The Economist, 2020 I'm thinking 🤔 So, what matters most? Is it the country's resources or the individual's mindset? Other Dynamics factors? #Team : A supportive team in Sports Culture and environment can make all the difference. #Physical & #Mental Toughness: The ability to practice & perform under pressure is key. #Coaching and #Mentorship: Guidance from experienced coaches and mentors can help athletes reach their full potential. #Passion and Drive: Personal motivation and dedication are essential.

## Jim Thorpe’s Disqualification: A Tale of Triumph and Injustice 🌟🏅 Jim Thorpe, often hailed as the greatest athlete of his time, made history at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics by winning gold in both the pentathlon and decathlon. His unparalleled athletic prowess and iconic moments, like winning the high jump in mismatched shoes, cemented his legendary status. Yet, Thorpe's achievements were overshadowed by a significant controversy. ### 🏅 The Golden Era Thorpe's feats were nothing short of extraordinary. The King of Sweden himself dubbed him the greatest athlete in the world. His Olympic performances set records that lasted well into the 20th century, showcasing his versatility and dominance across multiple sports. ### 🚫 Disqualification Drama However, Thorpe’s Olympic success was marred by the IOC's rigid and, at times, discriminatory rules on amateurism. The IOC disqualified him, citing violations of their Victorian-era standards—rules that were frequently bent or ignored by white athletes without consequence. This decision was seen as elitist and racially biased, casting a shadow over Thorpe's accomplishments. ### ⚖️ A Long Road to Justice Despite the initial disqualification, Thorpe’s legacy remained a point of contention. After significant pressure from supporters and a reevaluation of his case, the IOC finally returned his medals in the early 1980s, acknowledging the injustice. Jim Thorpe’s story is a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by athletes of color and the ongoing struggle for fairness in sports. #JimThorpe #OlympicHistory #Stockholm1912 #AthleticLegend #IOCControversy #DisqualificationDrama #AmateurismRules #SportsInjustice #ThorpeMedals #LegacyRestored

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

Did you know that tug of war was once an Olympic sport? It featured in the Summer Olympics from 1900 to 1920. Interestingly, countries could enter multiple teams in the competition, allowing them to sweep the podium. In 1904, the United States achieved this feat, winning all three medals, and in 1908, British teams took all the top spots. Curious about other sports no longer included in the Olympic games?
