  • Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is trying to repair his reputation after two suspensions that cost him valuable sponsorship endorsements and hurt his chances of qualifying for what would be his fifth Olympic games in 2020.

    To try to fix the damage, the 35-year-old swimmer signed on to CNBC’s “Back in the Game,” in which former baseball player Alex Rodriguez mentors athletes to help repair their finances and reputations, as he had to do a decade ago following revelations that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

    Lochte accompanied Rodriguez to ACG’s 2019 InterGrowth conference, where Rodriguez was speaking, and sat down with Middle Market Growth for an interview about the show, his swimming career, and how he plans to regain the public’s trust.

  • French hotel owners assailed Airbnb on Wednesday over its new partnership with the International Olympic Committee, warning they would stop working on the planning for the Paris 2024 summer Games to protest against what they call an unfair competitor.

    French hotels have long accused home rental platform Airbnb of taking advantage of minimal oversight to undercut their business, and have been lobbying authorities for a crackdown on short-term tourist rentals.

    “Airbnb doesn’t play by the rules, and must be disqualified,” the GNI association of independent hotels said in a statement during an industry gathering in the Atlantic coast resort town of Biarritz.

  • Body position is the foundation for all swimming strokes. When correcting strokes, look at the body position because it affects all the other components of a stroke (legs, breathing, arms, and coordination). In order for a stroke to be efficient, the body must minimize the amount of drag (The water resistance that slows down your motion) by being streamlined. Being streamlined reduces the work put in to move through the water and is key to swimming efficiently.
