When you have completed your research, please add them to this document in this format: ExampleQ9) How has technology changed sport? Is it for the better or worse, or is it a double-edged sword? (NAME)You can use a mixture of point forms and short paragraphs to organise the information. Please don’t give chunks of information- that is not helpful. Be succinct, give as much as your friends would need if they were to use it in an example. |

Q15) Give specific examples of when these ideals and values have been upheld, and when they have been compromised. -> Fair Play (Wanqi)

1)→In 1995 World and Olympic Champion pole-vaulter Sergey Bubka helped his South-African rival, Okkert Brits, on two occasions by lending him his equipment.
→ Firstly, on 3 July after learning that Brits equipment had not arrived at the Paris Grand Prix Bubka offered him his poles so that he could compete.
→Again, on 9 September at the IAAF Grand Prix Final in Munich Bubka repeated his generous act. This time, however, it cost him victory as Brits vaulted a winning 5.95 m while Bubka’s final jump was just under at 5.90 m.

2)→ 1964 winter Olympics, Innsbruck, Austria: The British two-man bobsled team, led by Tony Nash, completed its first run placing second overall.
-> Then Nash discovered a broken a bolt on the sled putting them out of the competition. At the bottom of the hill, the great Italian bobsled driver Eugenio Monti, (who was lying in first place), heard of their plight and without hesitation, removed the bolt from his own sled sending it to the British team at the top of the hill. Nash's team fixed their sled and clinched gold.
-> Monti took the bronze and later commented, "Tony Nash did not win because I gave him a bolt. Tony Nash won because he was the best driver."

3)→ Chelsea are set to back both a wage increase cap and a compromise financial fair play deal at showdown meeting of all 20 Premier League
