Today, 89 years ago, on 2 September 1937, Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the IOC who revived the Olympic Games, passed away. IOC President Coventry and IOC Honorary President Bach paid tribute to him and laid a wreath at his grave in Lausanne. ❤️
@ShivAroor 🤯 This looks like a bad scene from a C-grade movie. Hard to believe someone would behave like that. WTF?! 😱 Amazing decency and restraint shown by the guards.

A lot of politicking and positioning underway ahead of the FIFA election in March 2027.
It may all prove rather pointless. Political tides can turn in an instant, alliances shift, and there is still a long way to go before the actual election takes place.
Ousting FIFA president Gianni Infantino will take 106 votes behind a to-be-named opponent.
Here's who has already lined up against him ⬇️

Getting ready for the autumn harvest 🌱
Herbs, apples, beets… and, naturally, the Indian essentials: chillies & coriander. 🤪
There is something soooo satisfying about having a kitchen garden. This is what I do with my weekends now! 😄

📌 Welcoming journalists to Olympic House is always a pleasure. Ahead of Athletissima, the @Diamond_League meeting in Lausanne, we invited the press corps to join us for a morning. Among the group were two Olympians, who are now working as photographers. Olu Olamigoki from Nigeria, who competed at Rio 2016, and Danielle Alakija (Fiji), who competed at London 2012, signed the Olympian Wall in Olympic House in front of their 'new' colleagues. Thanks for taking the time to all of you!
"Never lose the reason why you love the sport." ✨
Rio 2016 Olympic champion and #OlympicSolidarity scholarship-holder Sara Kolak 🇭🇷 is in Lausanne tonight for @athletissima, fresh from European gold and focused on the #RoadtoLA28.

Just heard one of the BBC commentators (think it was @laurarobson5) say “he should be in the running for the next 007 Bond”.
Couldn’t agree more. 😎 #GOAT
So what? Being rich is not a disqualification.

It’s still an amazing feat for a girl from the Philippines, where the infrastructure probably does not support a run like this one. Hence, if she was good as a kid, she would have had to go to an academy to get better.
Alex’s on-court post-match interview was so endearing, she just won over the entire crowd… and me!
Fully rooting for this delightfully authentic young woman for the title now 🏆
Seated next to a couple at a restaurant. It’s been about 20 minutes. The woman has talked nonstop. Without pause. The man has not said a word. Not. One. Word.
How do such pairs function?
Office Romance on @netflix gives us a kick-ass CEO who spends the movie proving she’s competent, only for the climax to hinge on her boyfriend saving the day and helping her make the right choice.
Nothing says female empowerment like outsourcing the final decision to a man. 🙄
4 of the 8 women’s quarterfinalists are either Russian or Belarusian, and 2 are Ukrainian. The region’s dominance in women’s tennis is going on since decades.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry visited New Zealand last week to meet athletes and champion sport across the Pacific. The visit was a powerful reminder that the Olympic Movement is built on connection, opportunity, and shared ambition🇳🇿
