Well, high performance might be a stretch. And competition? Let’s just say there was more creak than peak but recently the VIS staff did their best impersonations of the many VIS athletes in Paris for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Sadly, the heroism and inspiration witnessed in Paris was completely absent throughout the grandly titled VIS Mini-Olympic Games, replaced by folly, laughter and too many moments when ambition was tragically failed by a lack of talent.
Corporate Challenge Events led the merry-making which, if nothing else, drew the bleary-eyed, sports-obsessed VIS staff away from daytime repeats of the action in Paris.
The highlight? Quite possibly the singing, which is yet to win admission to the schedules of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The outfits were, er, somewhat interesting, too, leaning more towards the artistic moments of the Olympic opening ceremony than to ergonomics or performance technology.
Still, there is always hope. The Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games of 2028 are only four years away.
