  • Sportsmanship and Business: What We Can Learn from the Olympic Brownlee Brothers?
    Sportsmanship and business: What we can learn from the Olympic Brownlee brothers? While recently watching the final race of the World Triathlon Series in Cozumel, Mexico, I witnessed something astounding. British athlete Jonny Brownlee, who had previously won Bronze in the London Olympics, recently Silvered in Rio and was in the winning position for this race, suddenly slowed down, began to stagger and almost collapsed. His brother Alistair, the two-time defending Olympic champion locked in a battle for second place, stopped his own race, pulled Jonny’s arm over his shoulder and began guiding him to the finish line (see video here). In an admirable act of selflessness, Alistair forfeited his own chances and pushed Jonny across the line to captured second place honors; whereby Jonny immediately collapsed and was admitted to a hospital suffering from dehydration. Now you might argue well that’s what brothers do. But after the race during an interview, Alistair simply declared “If it had happened to anyone, I would have helped them across the line. It’s an awful position to be in. If he conked out before the finish, and there isn’t medical support, it was a dangerous position to be in.” And this type of selfless attitude is not limited to families. Take for example the women’s 5,000 meters at this year’s Olympics, when the American Abbey D’Agostino and Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand collided and fell, then helped each other across the line. What can we learn from these acts of sportsmanship in our day to day businesses? Winning is an amazing outcome.

She was offered payment in lieu of additional notice only if she provided ITU with a signed release. Her Group Medical Services Plan benefits were cut off at termination. 2014 BCSC 2151 (CanLII) According to the plaintiff, ITU neither offered nor provided a reference for the plaintiff.
