In short track speed skating, athletes don't compete against the clock, but against each other. 

This sport originated in Canada then went into the U.S. Soon it went over to Japan, Britain, France, and other countries. How this relates to econ is that it gives these countries the economic freedom to create a companies for this sport, get sponsors, and get players and allow paycheck regulations.

"I crashed on the first start. Someone actually hit my ankle when that happened. I was in a lot of pain. I thought maybe I can't do this now. I thought about the adrenaline and how that might take over. And it didn't. I was in a lot of pain. I thought 'just do what you can do' and I thought 'I'll move up and I moved up'.

Now the Netherlands are up in the bronze division, and are making their way up to the top.

In recent years, a few historical milestones significantly reinforced the partnership between the IOC and the UN, which dates back to 1922, when the IOC and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) established an institutional cooperation. One prime example of this is-

 "In April 2014, the UN and the IOC signed an agreement aimed at strengthening collaboration between the two organisations at the highest level. The agreement underlined that the IOC and the UN “share the same values of contributing to a better and peaceful world through sport.”
