Imagine #TheFirstEffect if athletes were paid for their labour which fuels the multi-billion dollar Olympic Movement.

Deloitte if you expect your partners to uphold your commitment to human rights, then it’s time to call on the #IOC to initiate a first and compensate athletes.

'Athletes are not a part of the problem, they are a part of the solution'
Our General Secretary Paulina Tomczyk took part in the panel discussion during #EUSportForum and spoke about the work of player associations to protect the integrity of sport including #PROtectIntegrity project

Why is the IOC such a filthy organization?
Reason MCV

Former Swiss athlete wants to be part of the Games as a volunteer.
GREAT! they say.
Must be available 8 a.m.-10 p.m., NO access to watch events. ONE hot meal/day.

All $$$ go into bank accounts in his country.
Not his, tho.

Puzzling how many fail to see the bigger picture here, and how many also seem to think all the top track and field stars are already making loads of money. They really aren’t.

The #IOC has plenty of money to pay every athlete attending the Games.

'The sporting world long ago lost its moral compass amid a fog of money and greed but the craven approach towards Russia over the past two years will join the 1936 Munich betrayal in the annals of sporting infamy.' 1/3 Matthew Syed @TheTimes

World Athletics to start giving prize money at the #Paris2024 Olympics. Gold medallists to receive $50,000. This should be read as a response to organized pressure from athlete groups like Global Athlete & alternatives to the Games like Enhanced Games rte.ie/sport/athletic…

If Canada heads to the Paris Olympics without having initiated a commission/inquiry (hopfully an inquiry), Carla Qualtrough is sending a clear message to the nation that athlete safety and wellbeing is not a priority. Let's not sportwash a sports abuse crisis. No more distractions.

The introduction of prize money for Olympic gold medallists is a pivotal moment for World Athletics and the sport of athletics as a whole, underscoring our commitment to empowering the athletes and recognising the critical role they play in the success of any Olympic Games.…

Stephen Wade Kudos to Seb Coe & World Athletics for breaking the outdated status quo to compensate athletes.

“I think it is important we start somewhere and make sure some of the revenues generated by our athletes at the Olympic Games are directly returned to those who make the Games the global spectacle that it is” World Athletics President Sebastian Coe via AP Sports

I suspect this is not going to go down well at @olympics HQ - World Athletics President Seb Coe will now be even more unpopular with IOC Thomas Bach (if that were possible). Wonder which Federation will be next? My money is on Judo.

This is a sick and, quite frankly, weird attempt by UIPM - World Pentathlon to justify a change to its sport in a desperate attempt to keep it on the @olympics programme, despite many still opposing it uipmworld.org/news/pierre-de…
