Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
By Charley Brinton | August 20, 2008
It happens only every 4 years, but it’s amazing what a bit of competitiveness and good sportsmanship can do for global solidarity. Was that really France, Germany and GB hugging each other on the podium last week? The Australians may be a bit put out that GB are ahead of them in the medals tables, but they’re secretly impressed. And it’s not just between countries - with Scotland, N.Ireland, Wales and England all working together, Team GB have produced the biggest haul of gold medals for a century. So it got me thinking; If a large sporting event can bring the world together, perhaps a much smaller sporting event could bring local communities together. And a local mini Olympics could maybe even lead to bigger and better things for some - and a gold medal or two (the next Rebecca Adlington could be living right next door to you).
Maybe your community already holds a local sports day or tournament, but if not, why not get the ball rolling. The My Neighbourhoods community message boards are great places to organise and advertise local events to other people in your area and those outside it too.
