What is the main objective of having The olympics? Answer:
This policy has two main objectives:
• it strives to promote Olympic Games which respect the environment and meet the standards of sustainable development.
• it also aims to promote awareness among and educate the members of the Olympic family and sports practitioners in general of the importance of a healthy environment and sustainable development.
It is based on the principles enshrined in the The Olympic Charter (Chapter 1, The Olympic Movement and its Actions: Mission and Role of the IOC):
• to encourage and support a responsible concern for environmental issues, to promote sustainable development in sport and require that the Olympic Games are held accordingly; and
• to promote a positive legacy from the Olympic Games to the Host cities and the Host countries.
The IOC policy also finds its roots and scope in the Olympic Movement's agenda 21 which is another major reference document in this field.
Nothing like a little time on the beach to brighten your day.
Serena Williams, who recently recovered from surgery to have a blood clot "the size of a grapefruit" removed from her lungs two months ago, was spotted on the beach in Miami with friends recently.
The 29-year old 13-time Grand Slam tennis singles champion just returned to training last week, but looks good after having so much time off.
