April was a month of extraordinary energy and inspiration for the world of sport, thanks to two iconic events that go far beyond simple athletic competition: the Boston Marathon and the London Marathon. This year, more than ever, these races highlighted the powerful role of sport as a unifying force and a crucial tool in the fight against racism and all forms of discrimination.

In Boston, the legacy of Tegla Loroupe, the first African woman to win a world-class marathon, continues to be a source of inspiration. Her courage in breaking racial and gender barriers in athletics motivates generations of runners, proving that talent and determination know no boundaries of ethnicity or background. 💖👟 Initiatives such as the PIONEERS Run Crew continue to empower communities by actively promoting diversity and inclusion in running! 🌟

Meanwhile, in London, the collaboration between the global sporting event and the commitment of organisations such as Blueprint for All and AKD Solutions has further amplified this spirit, inspiring young people from diverse backgrounds and promoting equality and diversity through community initiatives. Their involvement in the marathon demonstrates how sport can become a catalyst for social change, building bridges between cultures and breaking down walls of prejudice. 🌍❤️

The thousands of participants who took to the streets of Boston and London – from all over the world – are tangible proof that diversity in sport is a factor for change and a driving force for a more equitable and inclusive future. Every step is a step towards a world where skin colour or origin are not reasons for division, but elements of richness and unity.

🤝🌍 At BRISWA 2.0, we celebrate these initiatives that reflect our commitment to build a more inclusive world of sport, free from all forms of racism, where every individual can express their potential without fear of discrimination.
