Paris 2024 comes to its end!




Paris 2024 comes to an end! 🏅 🏅 🏅 

The days of the Olympics are always special, don't you think? As a lifelong athlete, the Olympic Spirit provokes such happiness in me that I feel like I'm living on a cloud because of the values it represents, imagining that everything has a solution.

However, this year again,there has been no Olympic Truce (Indutiae Olympicae in Latin, Ekecheiria in Greek) and the war have not stopped during the competition days.

Fortunately, this time I have had the opportunity to experience them in other countries (Poland and Hungary), and it has been curious and exciting to see how, regardless of where I was, wherever there was a Television, it remained on all day broadcasting the Games. Everyone is following the results of their athletes! I hope this pattern has been repeated in other regions of the planet! Having the feeling that all of humanity is doing the same thing at the same time seems beautiful to me - maybe it's the only thing we really do.

There is a popular theory that suggests that football, after its invention, served to avoid conflicts between Europeans. It is a common observation that reflects the competitive nature of sports and its ability to unite people in a spirit of healthy rivalry. In a world so polarized and a society stunned by social media and the bias it provokes, I encourage everyone to maintain the Olympic spirit every day of the year, to enjoy diversity and to help your fellow man.
