  • Rule 50 Guidelines Developed by the IOC Athletes' Commission
    Rule 50 Guidelines Developed by the IOC Athletes’ Commission Introduction to the document by the IOC Athletes’ Commission As athletes, we are passionate about our sports and achieving our sporting performance goals. For each and every one of us, that passion continues into everyday life, where we advocate for change on issues of great importance to us and our world. That desire to drive change can naturally make it very tempting to use the platform of an appearance at the Olympic Games to make our point. However, all of us are here at the Olympic Games because, one day, we dreamt of being an Olympian, and maybe even an Olympic champion. The unique nature of the Olympic Games enables athletes from all over the world to come together in peace and harmony. We believe that the example we set by competing with the world’s best while living in harmony in the Olympic Village is a uniquely positive message to send to an increasingly divided world. This is why it is important, on both a personal and a global level, that we keep the venues, the Olympic Village and the podium neutral and free from any form of political, religious or ethnic demonstrations. If we do not, the life’s work of the athletes around us could be tarnished, and the world would quickly no longer be able to look at us competing and living respectfully together, as conflicts drive a wedge between individuals, groups and nations. That is not to say that you should be silent about the issues you care deeply about, and below you will find a list of places where you can express your views at the Olympic Games.

We offer a diverse range of opportunities to play, train and develop and now we are excited to bring deaf and disabled women and girls into the netball family. Netball cannot be described as a ‘traditional disability sport’. It has a limited history with minimal numbers of players both in this country and around the world. However, in England, there are over 1.5 million deaf and disabled women and girls under the age of 50. These figures speak to the incredible opportunity we have at England Netball. This strategy is an exciting glimpse into our future and signals the intent and ambition that we have at England Netball to understand, engage, maximise and empower deaf and disabled women and girls across England. Fran Fran Connolly, CEO 1 million women and girls played netball at some point last year making netball the number one team sport played by females in England. In contrast to that only 448 deaf and disabled people took part in an England Netball session last year. This strategy has been published following extensive research and development pulling on an evidence base from across all sport.

  • The Road to Parasport Expertise: Examining the Existing Parasport Development Literature and Current Wheelchair Basketball Players’ Developmental Trajectories
    THE ROAD TO PARASPORT EXPERTISE: EXAMINING THE EXISTING PARASPORT DEVELOPMENT LITERATURE AND CURRENT WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL PLAYERS’ DEVELOPMENTAL TRAJECTORIES NIMA DEHGHANSAI A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE SCHOOL OF KINESIOLOGY AND HEALTH SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JULY 2016 © NIMA DEHGHANSAI, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Unfortunately, research regarding development of athletes with disabilities has not kept pace with the tremendous growth of the parasports. The purpose of this thesis was to examine athletes with disabilities’ developmental trajectories and the training-related factors that led to expertise. A systematic literature review was performed in phase I to synthesize the existing studies exploring aspects of development of athletes with a disability. The lack of studies examining such factors facilitated second phase of the thesis, which explored developmental trajectories and training histories of athletes training at the Wheelchair Basketball Canada National Academy. Although athletes illustrated a similar developmental pattern (i.e., milestones, training modifications) as they progressed through their sporting career, there were disability-related differences (i.e., whether disability was congenital or acquired influenced onset of certain milestones). This thesis contributes to a limited literature base and provides direction for future research regarding development of athletes with disabilities. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor Joe Baker for his great mentorship, the willingness to share his skills, knowledge and expertise. His personal interest in the field translated to myself and the lab and effectively motivated me to strengthen my character, and helped me grow as a researcher as well as a citizen.

  • The IOC AC's Recommendations on Rule 50
    The IOC AC’s recommendations on Rule 50 Q&A document What is Rule 50 and why is it in place? The aim of Rule 50 is that each and every athlete can enjoy the experience of the Olympic Games without any divisive disruption. Rule 50 provides a framework to protect the neutrality of sport and the Olympic Games and strives to ensure that the focus at the Olympic Games remains on athletes’ performances, sport, unity and universality. Currently, in addition to the framework that applies during the Games with regard to commercial promotion, Rule 50 states that: “No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas”. Why did the IOC AC decide to start this consultation? In June 2020, following the publication by the IOC Executive Board of a resolution condemning discrimination in the strongest possible terms, the IOC Athletes’ Commission (AC) was tasked with exploring additional ways of how Olympic athletes could express their support for the principles enshrined in the Olympic Charter, including during the Olympic Games, while respecting the Olympic spirit. What were the already existing opportunities for athletes to express their views? A wide range of opportunities for athletes to express their views at the Olympic Games existed already before the consultation. They include: • in official press conferences, • through social and traditional media, and • at mixed zones in competition venues. In non-Olympic venues, there are no restrictions, except for those resulting from local laws and regulations. What are the recommendations proposed by the IOC AC? 1.
