 The IOC's report on the 2020 Tokyo Games has been released, and it's a great read. These Games were truly tough as it had to happen under the shadow of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Many lessons learned and certainly will be useful to fortify future events!

 I am honored to have been interviewed by a young man named Mr. Ryan Murphy, of New York City's Xavier High School. His documentary film, called "Shattered Ring," won Xavier's "Oscar" award for best film, and takes a deep exploration into the controversies surrounding boycotts of the Olympic Games. As you might be aware - this is a subject I know just a bit about! Please enjoy using the link below. Again, congratulations, Ryan!  It's an honor to have been recognized in Sports Business Journal's 2022 Champions class. Thank you for your kind consideration and I only hope to use my platform to inspire and educate others, especially the youth in the field of sport. Sports Business Journal
