I have been watching every races of his. Last night, he made a mistake of drifting too far away from the starting point for the only race yesterday. Hence tonight, when he was drifting away, I was talking to myself “come back, come back!”. Then when he finally came back, he was like being squeeze out of the starting point for 1st race. Suddenly, he changed into a smaller kite for the 2nd race. He gave the reason it was the fast wind speed that caused him to change into a smaller kite. But thereafter, the wind speed slows down.😱😓😭 [Cry] I can feel his sadness of not securing gold for us based on the duration he hugged his mother [Comfort][Comfort]and I think his mother must have whispered encouraging words to him. In addition, it took him some time to come back shore. I felt he needs some

Kiwis won the Olympics!

New Zealand population is about 5.3 million, We won 10 gold medals at the Olympics 2024. That's one gold medal per 533,890 people! Embracing the Kiwi spirit of excellence! Proud to raise my kids in New Zealand, where everyone has an equal chance to shine. Now, Mum needs to find a coach and unleash my kids' inner champion! https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/olympics/olympics-2024-new-zealand-labelled-overachievers-of-paris-2024-olympics/7CTQ2ZMUFNEN5GDRQH7KWM3J6I/#Echobox=1723498207 @Barcode  @Soogle  @Kiwi Tigress  @Hen Solo

Watching the Kiwis with great interest! we are only a little NATION that always gives our very best! Unfortunately, we don't have the sports funding that other big countries do. WatchEd the opening ceremony, a shame about the rain, they weren't lucky with the weather! ☔️💧🌧️ 195 Kiwis in 22 sports.  New Zealand is forecast to finish 16th equal alongside Denmark and Turkey with a total of 14 medals. That would consist of four golds, four silvers and six bronzes, Gracenote predicted. If the forecast is correct, it would fall short of the record 20 medals won at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. At the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro the Kiwis brought home 18 medals. Go KIWIS!🥝

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 Wish I can hop on a flight to Paris for the Olympic Games. Like the Opening Ceremony. Great to see Celine Dion dazzled after her four year health absence. That is true Olympic spirit. I love the drone show with the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower. Lady Gaga’s ostrich face show was funny to me[Happy][Happy] $Nike(NKE)$ has a “BUY” rating now. Nike is, and has been the biggest sponsor of Olympic so it will get the biggest publicity during the games. $Nike(NKE)$ share price is steady going up. Thanks @Tiger_chat

I m always interested in Badminton & Swimming. But ever since shanti pereira has done so well in Asian games, I m beginning to watch athletics. I won’t be going to Paris to watch the Olympics as I had been there 3x. Moreover, I currently don’t hold a passport. [Happy][LOL][Chuckle]. I will watch from TV and at the same time, busy tabulating my SG dividends. This week, 6 counters announced their DPU. Even though some counters decreased their DPU, I am still on track with my KPI dividends [Heart][Applaud][Chuckle][Bless][love you][Happy][Smile]

I'm beyond excited to see Maximilian Maeder, the 17-year-old Singaporean kitefoiling sensation, compete for gold at the Paris Olympics this weekend! I have goosebumps just thinking about it - this kid's talent and dedication are truly inspiring. I'm a bit nervous, too - the competition is going to be tough, and I really want him to win! But at the same time, I'm so proud of him for making it this far. He's already achieved so much at such a young age. I'm going to be on the edge of my seat, cheering him on with all my heart. Come on, Maximilian - bring home that gold!

I haven't been keeping up with the Olympics like I usually do. Max Maeder is already performing so well at 17! That's so inspiring! I should really get my little ones into some kind of training or activity... they're 4 and 2 now, it's the perfect time to start them on something. I'll look into some options this week and see what would be a good fit for them. I want to give them every opportunity to find their passion and talent. Who knows, maybe one day they'll be Olympic stars too!

Definitely not going to Paris to watch the games. Will be watching from home the ones that Singapore would be represented in especially swimming and Shanti in her runs. Not expecting any medals though…For sporting events, generally major sponsors and sports apparel companies would be in the limelight but I don’t anticipate any will have any great swings due to the games. Ultimately, the stocks will still be dependent on their earnings and any geopolitical tensions/ national policies.

I am super excited about Paris Olympics 2024! Am hopeful that Singapore will achieve a podium finish this year. All eyes on our #TeamSG Kitefoiler, Maximilian Maeder - he's a world champion waiting to add the Olympics medal to his tally. Aside from sailing, I will be keenly watching my favorite events namely, swimming, gymnastics, volleyball. While the athletes compete in Paris, may the message of world peace prevail! ❤️

 It is definitely Tennnis, my favorite sport to watch at the Paris Olympics 2024. Loving this sport because of the excitement and intensity of this sport, The skill and athleticism of the players, dramatic moments during the game, a show of individual performance, the rivalries and personalities of players, global appeal of such sport and also the variety of tournaments such sport provides.

$Nike(NKE)$  I’ll be watching the sports available when i have free time to turn on the telly.  Having kids means free time is a rare commodity! One thing I’ll be looking out for is definitely the number of Nike swooshes on billboards or items or player jerseys.  With massive viewership, this will be a great ad campaign for Nike!

How did Max Maeder pull off his Olympic bronze win? The path wasn't a straightforward one, but consistency got him through. A look at the race's defining moments: https://str.sg/naQk Reposting  and simply thankful for the youngest Olympian Maximliian Maeder from Singapore who tried his best and gave Singapore its Olympic Bronze Medal after our NDP.
