The Seine river was once disgusting and contaminated. After a multi-billion dollar clean up, the river was finally clean enough to allow the athletes at the 2024 Paris olympics to do events like the triathlon in that water.

At the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Nazi Germany used the Olympic games as a propaganda tool to promote and influence their ideology, and also used the games to show that they have power. They started a lot of conflict, but countries still participated. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

For real!! Crazy to think how much media is around us at all times even if we are not picking up on it all. Interesting point neala!!!

It’s crazy how even the coaches pretended that hazing was fine, instead of stepping in to prevent further events

It’s crazy that people go to these extents to express their emotions after a loss!

The Detroit tigers won the World Series in 1984, and this win sparked riots in the city. To celebrate, people were vandalizing, destroying property, and doing dangerous acts like jumping from moving busses.

Caitlin Clark is known as the face of women’s basketball, and she was out with a groin injury. Her team was suffering without her, but I think it’s better that she rests and recovers so she can come out stronger when she’s healed.

It’s amazing to see how she responds to sexism! She’s a role model for many young girls, especially those who have been told what sports they should and shouldn’t partake in!

This is so cool! I love to see women overcome barriers and participate in male dominate sports!

Brigette Lacquette is an Indigenous female hockey player. She was the 1st First Nations hockey player to play on Canada's National Women's Team. She's a role model for both female and First Nations athletes. She won silver and gold in 2009/2010 Womens World Championships.

In the future I plan on becoming a physiotherapist and create a treatment plan to help my patients heal from their injuries. By being in this field of work, it can provide me with a higher knowledge of fitness which can then benefit my own fitness goals. I will also play recreational sports.

I was a part of a youth basketball program called Jr. NBA, where I coached young athletes. To make the program safe, I had to take a course before being able to help out and the practices were also short to ensure the kids were not being overworked.

How do you think women can get past all the criticism without letting it get to them?

In this campaign, it discusses the sexism that females deal with in sports culture and encourages them to ignore the stereotypes, and keep doing what they love despite the negative talk surrounding women's sports. #feministtheory

I would define a sport as something that is physically demanding, and requires physical skill. For a sport to be a sport, you have to be competing against a team, or another individual. I do not believe things like video games or card games are a sport because it is not exercise.
