24. November 1939: Trotz des Krieges bereitet das Dritte Reich die Olympischen Winterspiele 1940 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen vor. Hitler möchte #Olympia unbedingt ausrichten. Das #IOC entscheidet aber, dass "ein kriegführendes Land nicht Träger der Spiele" sein kann/1

"Reichssportführer" Hans von Tschammer und Osten (1887-1943) erklärt, dass Deutschland "auch im Kriege den Werten des Frieden treu" (!) sei. Die deutschen Vorschläge zur "Herbeiführung eines Weltfriedens" seien von Frankreich und Großbritannien abgelehnt worden./2

Obwohl das Dritte Reich die Austragung der Spiele letztendlich aufgibt, erklärt von Tschammer und Osten sich "für die Pflege des olympischen Gedankens einzusetzen". Blanker Zynismus angesichts des Vernichtungskrieges gegen Polen, den Deutschland zu diesem Zeitpunkt führte/Ende

Die schlagenden Gründe, warum eine Zulassung russischer und belarussischer Sportler durch das #IOC falsch wäre:

a) politische Vereinnahmung: das #IOC begründet die Zulassung gerade damit, dass sie Politik und Sport trennen wollen. Mit einem voraussichtlich gegenteiligen…

…Ergebnis - nämlich der kriegspropagandistischen Ausschlachtung jedes russischen Erfolgs. Das IOC hat überhaupt keine Möglichkeiten, den politischen Missbrauch zu verhindern. Die Zulassung hätte also gerade nicht die Folgen, die das IOC damit erreichen will.

b) Fairness: ein völkerrechtswidriger Angriffskrieg hatte die Ermordung zahlreicher ukrainischer Sportler zur Folge. Während selbst russische Armeesportler ungestört weitab vom Krieg trainieren können, haben Ukrainer nicht diese Möglichkeit. Wie will das IOC diesen..

The Olympics are inherently political
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, Thomas Bach, that the Olympics “are not about politics” is not only false but also shows a lack of understanding of the historical significance of the Games. 1/13

From the very beginning, the Olympics have been a platform for countries to promote their politics and agendas. In ancient Greece, the Games were used as a means of showing off a city-state’s strength and superiority over others. 2/13

Similarly, in modern times, the Olympics have been used as a tool for political propaganda, diplomacy, and even protest.

One need not look far to see examples of politics in the Olympics. 3/13

Notable: The IOC member from #Ukraine @sergey_bubka is also silent. I sincerely hope that he and his family are well.
But one may also ask if he is one of those #IOC servants who keep mum when Thomas Bach asks them to?

Okay. @FIFPRO advocating for football to "review and sever" ties to Russian personnel / entities following sanctions.

Der #Biathlon-Experte #Pfeiffer kritisiert massiv den #IOC.

Solche Statements erhoffe ich mir von (Ex-)Sportler:innen. Nix auf dieser Welt ist unpolitisch.

Dementsprechend kann man sich auch nicht dahinter verstecken, man sei ja nur Sportler:in. /TN

Und ja. Selbst dein Geschäfts morgens auf'n Klo hat was mit Politik zu tun. Denn ob die Scheiße wieder hoch kommt, entscheiden Politiker:innen damit, wie gut die Infrastruktur ausgebaut ist. /TN

A Thread on Ratio analysis and respective charts
No need to grab a coffee,Chai will do😄

The idea is to identify relatively stronger sectors & stocks when breadth is weak

Breadth=DT 1% (No of stocks in Double top buy on 1% PnF chart)

Breadth started falling from 14th Jan 2022

So we need to identify sectors which remained resilient when market breadth was falling.

We will look back 8 trading sessions and any score above or equal to 5 is bullish (63% of times Sector outperformed benchmark)

Mean reversals are best suited for current market breadth scenario. Once we have identified the sector the next step is to identify stocks in same fashion.

However the idea is to pick only stocks which are taking support near 50 or 200 EMA

Let us begin with first sector 👇

The IOC trans guidelines are very weak.

The performance benefits of testosterone do not discriminate between sport.

On average males have a performance benefit of 11.2% (± 1. 25) across all running events & 19.0% (± 2.57) for all jumping events.

The gender gap exists across all running distances as shown by Thibault et al (2010) study showsthe smallest margin in running events of 6.5% in the 100m but the largest difference 13.96% I the 4x100m.

The gender gap in performance is present across all world records, 10.0% ±2.94 between men & women for all events.

The gap ranges from 5.5% in 800m freestyle, 7% for speed skating, 8.7% cycling, 10.7% in running, & 18.8% in long jump.

Testosterone does not discriminate.

Und während nun kein Mensch weiß, was nun eigentlich bzgl #rule50 bei #tokyo2021 gilt, lohnt es sich, den Offenen Brief zu lesen, der heute bei #ioc und #ipc aus der akademischen, hauptsächlich englisch sprechenden Ecke einging. ->

Besonders interessant, wie die Politik der IOC-Athletenkommission um das bei der Session just aufgestiegene #IOC-Mitglied Kirsty Coventry (Sportministerin Zimbabwe) zerpflückt wird, die durch die Nike-Lorenz-Ausnahme von heute ja auch überholt scheint:

“the #IOC AC fails to articulate clearly enough (a) whom the IOC AC consulted specifically, (b) what qualified them to speak as experts on human rights, and (c) how the human rights expertise from the person(s) consulted impacted the final report.” alicenter.org/wp-content/upl…

Today, the #IOC members were shown and applauded a film featuring Holocaust survivor Agnes Keleti. It says Jesse Owens "redefined freedom" in Berlin in 1936. But it did not mention that the Berlin hosts murdered Agnes' father in Auschwitz. -> faz.net/aktuell/sport/…

It doesn't mention the murder of her uncles in Auschwitz. Nor does it mention that Agnes Keleti was kicked out of the 1940 Tokio Olympics team for being Jewish or that she survived the German invasion of Nazi ally Hungary by changing her identity.

It does use Leni Riefenstahl's Nazi propaganda footage however. And whoever gave this clip the thumbs up at the #IOC, was fully aware where the show is headed next winter. It says a lot about how the IOC looks upon itself, history & the world. #tokyo2021 #berlin1936 #beijing2022
