Something I repeat a lot is no one can visualise anymore. There are some exceptions of course... but being able to see what the 3D environment will look like in the future is key to making fast and accurate decision making. There are a huge amount of examples coming out of the Olympics and Paralympics from their use of OnePlan and the VenueTwin. Check out this example below #Paralympics #digitaltwin #venueplanning #eventplanning #Paris2024

Since 1960, the Paralympic Games have challenged notions of disability, and what began as a movement with just 400 athletes, has grown to 4,400 across 22 sports. Outstanding performances from Paralympians like Natalie du Toit, the first amputee swimmer to compete in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Abdellatif Baka, a visually impaired runner who not only broke the 1500m T13 world record, but ran it 1.71 seconds faster than the Olympic gold medallist that same year, help prove to the world that firsts go beyond the podium. Explore #TheFirstEffect and see the impact firsts at the Olympic and Paralympic Games have had on the world. https://deloi.tt/3x1XNxM

Everyone talking about the Paralympics or shared the success stories or posts over the social media, but still there are people didn’t know the difference between PO and SO:🧐 Misconceptions around the Olympics, the Paralympics and Special Olympics have existed..😅 Quick facts about the differences between the Paralympics & Special Olympics:😉 Paralympics: • The Paralympics refers to the Paralympic Games, a multi-sport event that happens every 4-years (in both Summer and Winter cycles) • The Paralympics are held in parallel with the Olympic Games (hence “para”) (usually about two weeks after). • The Paralympics have specific rules around eligibility and classification for athletes based on 10 eligible impairments types. • Athletes with disabilities who participate in para sports are Para athletes, but you are not a Paralympian until you compete at the Paralympic Games (similarly not every athlete is considered an Olympian). Special Olympics: * It refers to an organisation and sport system, not a single event. * Participating athletes have an intellectual disability. * It happens also every 4 years in both summer and winter cycles. * In this , it uses divisoning and groups athletes based on age, gender and ability and do not exclude based on performance. Hope it helps and save it for later! #sports #olympics #games #paris2024

Last week during 13th Fazza Dubai 2024 Para Powerlifting World Cup was the first time I am handling NPA during competition. New experience and new exposure for me. As Technical Officials on duty, we just need to be aware on the NPA and adjusting the existing procedures to fit the guidelines especially for Technical Controller, Kit Check Official and Technical Announcer. Games is about the athlete. One thing that I love about hetting involve with this sport event, everytime is different; different challenges, different experience and different exposure. Will never be enough. Experience will make you better and better but never perfect. Remark: NPA stand for Neutral Paralympic Athletes. NPA will compete as individuals in neutral uniforms under an NPA flag, and will not feature on the medals table or march in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Strict eligibility conditions mean NPA will be independently vetted to ensure they have not supported the Ukraine war and are not contracted to the military.

The Paralympic Games or Paralympics, also known as the Games of the Paralympiad, is a periodic series of international multisport events involving athletes with a range of disabilities. There are Winter and Summer Paralympic Games, which since the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, have been held shortly after the corresponding Olympic Games. All Paralympic Games are governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).The Paralympics began as a small gathering of British World War II veterans in 1948. The 1960 Games in Rome drew 400 athletes with disabilities from 23 countries, as proposed by doctor Antonio Maglio. Currently it is one of the largest international sporting events: the 2020 Summer Paralympics featuring 4,520 athletes from 163 National Paralympic Committees. Paralympians strive for equal treatment with non-disabled Olympic athletes, but there is a large funding gap between Olympic and Paralympic athletes.The Paralympic Games are organized in parallel with and in a similar way to the Olympic Games.#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinking #designthinkers
