With the beginning of the games in Vancouver, I thought I’d see how connected I was…
Hopefully you’ll indulge me in this – it should be a fun exploration.
Directly – not so much
With a keyword search on Olympic OR Olympian, just one connection comes up when I look for first degree contacts – and the reference is to an institution that happens to have Olympic in the name, oh well.
Second level – wow
Swapping out first degree connections for second gives more than a hundred, so I’ve got to refine the search.
Looking under title only takes the number to 11, and they’re an interesting collection:
- Olympic athlete at Torino and Vancouver
- Gold and Silver medalist for the Swiss at Sydney
- Catering Management at Beijing
- IT Manager at Vancouver
- Development Manager for USA Wrestling
- Student and Researcher at Beijing
- Village HR Manager at Athens
- Olympic Intern in 2005
- Gold Medalist for the USA at Nagano
- Architect of phone/data services for Vancouver
- Marketing and Sales for Sydney
- Organizing Committee for Athens
That’s a pretty good representation across the years.
How connected are you?
Can you find ties to the games? Go ahead, let us know – just no names.
And more generally though – see how it’s done? Have an idea – just check to see. You might be surprised at the connections you have.
To your continued success,
steve
