Kia ora Tiger traders!

Hold onto your hats, because today’s a day for the history books for New Zealand’s wahine toa who have absolutely dominated at the Paris 2024 Olympics, and I’m bursting with pride & if your passionate about female athletes then you should get ready to be! Let me take you on a journey through these unforgettable moments ~ so vivid, that you’ll feel like you were right there, cheering them on with me! 🇳🇿✨💫🔥

First up, NZ’s golfing QUEEN 👑 Lydia Ko ⛳, whose precision on the green was nothing short of surgical!!! Lydia didn’t just compete; she orchestrated a symphony of strokes that crescendoed into a 🥇 gold medal. Her putt on the final hole? As cool as a cucumber. Lydia showed us all what it means to perform under pressure, turning the Parisian greens into her own personal stage, and she owned it. This wasn’t just a victory—it was a masterclass in grace, skill & determination. Ko didn’t just win Olympic gold, she played her way into the LPGA Hall of Fame, arguably the toughest Hall in all of sports, accomplishing her ultimate goal!

💪🏌️‍♀️

But wait, there’s more! …..Dame Lisa Carrington, New Zealand’s very own paddling powerhouse, teamed up with the mighty Alicia Hoskin to absolutely smash the K2 500m event. 🌊🚣‍♀️ These two legends didn’t just paddle ~ they powered through the water like a well-oiled machine, their synchrony so perfect it was like watching a piece of art in motion. The River Seine didn’t stand a chance! And when they crossed that finish line first, the world watched in awe as Lisa Carrington clinched her fifth Olympic gold, officially making her the most decorated Kiwi Olympian of all time! Hoskin, with her remarkable performance, cemented her place as a future legend, proving that New Zealand women are an absolute force to be reckoned with on the global stage. 💫🚀

Their performances aren’t just a win for New Zealand~they’re a win for women in sport, showing young girls everywhere that there’s no limit to what they can achieve. These victories are as much about breaking barriers as they are about winning medals. 👏✨💫🔥

And speaking of golf ~ let me share a bit of my own journey and love for the game. Back in my Cleveland, Ohio days, I was hitting the links 3-4 times a week, come ☔️ or shine. The country courses there were not only affordable & accessible, but they came with their own set of wild companions~squirrels, chipmunks & even deer! I once had to politely evict a particularly cheeky squirrel from the tee box so I could drive the point home (literally). Those little critters didn’t just leave—they followed me around the course like I was their personal tour guide! Off the course I had a pet squirrel residing on my balcony that I would hand feed. So cute! Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of playing on many of New Zealand’s most stunning courses, including the breathtaking Kauri Cliffs & Jacks Point & Millbrook Resort in Queenstown. Life with children eventually became too busy, and my clubs have been in a bit of a sand trap lately, but I’ve been feeling the itch to get back out there~after all, there’s nothing like the calm of the greens and the thrill of sinking a perfect putt. It’s tee-rific! ⛳🐿️

🌟💫💫💥And just to top it all off, Paris🇫🇷 2024 is set to make history as the first Olympics to achieve full gender parity~50% women, 50% men. That’s right, no more "man-splaining" on how to win medals! Women and men will be battling it out equally in every sport. We’re talking about a level playing field, from the volleyball courts to the tennis courts~finally, a chance for everyone to flex their muscles and not just their egos! 💪🎖️

These wins are not just medals~they're milestones. For New Zealand, for women & for the future of sport. Let’s keep celebrating these incredible achievements, and remember, when Kiwi women hit the international stage, the world stops to watch. 🌍👊

$Lululemon Athletica(LULU)$Just as an aside, this year has brought with it so many brand switches in the golf world that it has left the fans perplexed. Now one more big news about another athlete and top brand has come to light. This time it’s Lydia Ko, who reportedly seems to have split ways with her exclusive brand, Lululemon. In 2019, Ko became Lululemon’s elite ambassador. At that time, the brand wasn’t exactly a go-to golf clothing line, but Ko took a big leap of faith and signed with them. At the time, she said that the apparel also served her well during her yoga practice and stated, “They’re all about being mindful. I think that really plays into golf. It’s not just a physical aspect but it’s mental as well.” She spoke about the brand. “It’s great for golf.” After that, she was seen wearing only their clothes. In January 2024, the PGA Tour hosted the American Express, where Lee participated. During a press conference, he was asked if he’d do anything for the brand with Lydia Ko, who represents the brand on the women’s circuit. To this, Lee gave the surprising reply that Ko is no longer associated with the brand. “No, she’s not with them.” He repeated it twice. It is indeed an enormous shock, as there was no official announcement from the side of the brand or Ko herself. The 2023 Fortinet Australian PGA Championship winner’s statement gains credibility as the LPGA is currently also hosting its inaugural event, the HGV Tournament of Champions, and during their presser, the Kiwi golfer was not seen wearing their clothes but was donning clothes by a brand called Renoma. It seems that all the official business surrounding Ko’s departure has been done in close quarters, and only the people associated with them share this knowledge. As for Lee, he enthusiastically gushed about how he came to sign with the Canadian brand. The 25-year-old explained that he noticed people wearing Lululemon, and the brand caught his attention. Upon parting ways with his former clothing brand, ImagineCre, his manager reached out to Lululemon. Speaking about his short experience with them, he said, “It’s one of the biggest companies in the world. I get to be some part of the designing process of it, which is incredible.”

Happy trading ahead. Cheers, BC 🍀
