Havaianas were developed in Brazil in the late 1950s. They were based on the sandals which were worn by Brazilian-Japanese immigrants, but these sandals soon became a hit with everyone. Being cheap but exotic, tourists packed them in their baggage and their fame spread all over the world. In the mid-1990s the flip-flops were redesigned. New colours and an improved style caused an explosion in sales. Nowadays around 22 million pairs are exported annually to 80 markets.

With its tropical weather and snow-free mountains, Jamaica may not seem like an obvious country to send competitors to the Winter Olympics. But the Jamaican bobsled team were determined to make it to the Games. They qualified but needed to find $80,000. So Lincoln Wheeler, a fan of the Winter Games, set up a campaign on the crowd-funding site Crowdtilt in 2014. Within days the campaign had raised more than $115,000. “This is the internet coming together,” said James Beshara, the Crowdtilt CEO. “It couldn’t have been done five years ago.”

As figures show that more and more children are overweight, the government has announced that highly competitive sports days and tournaments are to be re-introduced at schools. Under the new plans, schools will play against each other in an Olympics-style evet, with sports such as football, athletics, rugby, swimming, tennis and cycling. Winning teams will compete in sixty county competitions before going on to a national final.

For too long, schools have been avoiding competitive sports, introducing activities such as yoga, trampolining, cheerleading and dancing instead. They seem to believe that losing a race will make people feel bad about themselves. We have to realize that taking part in competitive sport is not bad for people’s self-esteem. Whether you win or lose, competitive sport teaches people to work together in a team and to try hard to be the best that they can be. These are skills which are just as important in the workplace as they are in school.

It is also hoped that the new plans will help Britain to break records in future Olympic Games.
