Olympics and Olympism

This study proposes a predictive statistical framework for estimating the potential performance of the Indian boxing contingent at the forthcoming Olympics using demographic and competitionperformance-related data of national-level boxers in India. A hypothetical dataset comprising 50 athletes was constructed to demonstrate the methodology. Variables such as age, years of experience, national medals, international exposure, win ratio, recent form score, and ranking points were analysed to predict Olympic qualification and medal probability. Logistic regression and composite performance indexing were employed as the primary analytical tools. The study highlights the importance of evidence-based athlete evaluation and demonstrates how statistical methods can support sports policy, athlete selection, and performance forecasting. The findings indicate that international exposure, recent form, and win ratio are the strongest predictors of Olympic success. The paper also discusses methodological limitations arising from limited sample size, unobserved psychological factors, and the unpredictable nature of competitive sports.

O uso das parcerias público-privadas (PPPs) como estratégia para viabilizar grandes projetos de intervenção urbana consolida um planejamento orientado por interesses privados e de alto impacto territorial sobre a inclusão/exclusão socioespacial nas cidades brasileiras. Orientadas como frentes de neoliberalização do Estado, as PPPs atuam na (a) alteração de condição de um governo provedor para um governo consumidor de serviços; (b) na imposição da racionalidade e disciplina do mercado ao Estado; (c) na criação de novas oportunidades de lucro alinhada ao compartilhamento de riscos; (d) na consolidação de um planejamento orientado por interesses privados; e (e) na viabilização de grandes projetos e respectivos ganhos indiretos relacionados. O artigo parte da contextualização da inserção das PPPs na política urbana para, em seguida, demonstrar o modo como o Estado facilita a ação do capital e utiliza o processo de neoliberalização como ordem vigente que abraça as PPPs como estratégia estruturada para o enfrentamento da permanente crise financeira. Neste horizonte, para além da discussão sobre as PPPs e do processo de neoliberalização, está o necessário desvelamento das condições de produção contemporânea do espaço urbano e a necessidade de movimentos de resistências constituintes na construção de uma nova agenda de políticas urbanas. Palavras Chave: parceria público-privada, processo de neoliberalização, política urbana, planejamento urbano, grandes projetos urbanos.

This is a work that deeply integrates institutional economics with sports jurisprudence. Its central thesis is both startling and irrefutable: while the economic form of sports has leaped from amateur pastime to a hundred-billion-dollar global entertainment industry, the institutional rules safeguarding it still run on decades-old code—this structural misalignment is not a technical glitch, but a civilizational failure of institutional duty.

The book weaves its argument through the theory of "Sports Isomorphic Evolution," demonstrating that sports rules, procedural justice, and the sporting spirit must co-evolve within the same dimensional framework. The author does not linger on moral condemnation; instead, using cross-border empirical cases—the bloodied blades on short-track ice, the chronic brain trauma behind boxing rings, the black whistles on Olympic rinks—it systematically dissects how commercial capital and political honor distort the competitive ecosystem, degrading "Friendship First, Competition Second" from an institutional principle into a disposable slogan.

What truly distinguishes this book from conventional sports commentary is its construction of an entire operational roadmap for institutional reconstruction. The AI Cyber-Judge breaks the referee's "absolute immunity" through millisecond-level biomechanical tracking and blockchain evidence preservation. The Five-Level Graded Penal Code imposes career-scale costs precisely proportioned to the severity of malicious intent. The Care Rule forces the injurer to bedside-accompany the victim until recovery, completing a compulsory confession at the level of the soul. The Independent Sports Referee Oversight Committee (ISROC) closes the accountability loop on those who hold the scales of justice. Spanning jurisprudence, sports biomechanics, game theory, and global governance, these designs offer a complete toolkit—from theory to implementation—for international sports federations, national associations, event operators, and sports law researchers.

If you care about the future morphology of sports governance, the boundary where technology reshapes justice, or are trying to understand why the finest athletes are systematically manufactured into fouling machines by institutional pressure—this book will give you a cold, lucid analytical framework, and a reform roadmap delivered with unmistakable human warmth.

Purpose: This study aims to prioritize the key factors that enable the integration of sustainability into sports culture. By applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the research systematically evaluates and ranks cultural, organizational, and structural drivers that influence how sustainability can be embedded within the sporting ecosystem. The study also contributes to sustainable market innovation in the sports sector by linking sustainability integration with green branding, consumer engagement, and market-oriented value creation. Design/Methodology: The study employs the AHP methodology to assess the relative importance of sustainability integration factors. Experts provided pairwise comparisons of identified factors, and the resulting judgments were normalized to calculate their relative weights and overall ranking. Findings: The analysis reveals that Athlete Advocacy and Leadership (AAL) and Fan Engagement and Education (FEE) are the most critical drivers of sustainability integration. These findings show that athlete advocacy and fan engagement can strengthen green consumer behavior, build trust, and improve market acceptance of sustainable sports products, services, and event practices. Sustainable Product Design (SPD), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Sustainable Infrastructure and Event Management (SI) rank moderately as supportive enablers. Implications/Originality: The findings offer practical guidance for sports brands, event managers, sponsors, and policymakers seeking to promote sustainable market innovation through athlete-led campaigns, fan education, CSR initiatives, and responsible infrastructure.

Greece gifts Olympia to Australia for the 2032 Games

David M. Pritchard

The first modern Olympics were held in Athens in 1896. In the one-hundred-and-thirty years since, the Olympic and Paralympic Games have become the world’s largest secular event. Australians are immensely proud of their participation in – and hosting of – modern Olympics. Impressive as this history is, it is still only a small part of a much older and longer story. The ancient Greeks staged Olympics for one-thousand years. Their Games attracted sports stars from right across the one-thousand Greek states of the Mediterranean basin. With forty-thousand spectators, theirs were also the world’s largest event.

The Hellenic Republic has made the historic decision to loan Australia priceless artefacts illustrating the ancient Olympics for the 2032 Games. Greece rarely makes such a loan. The first time that it did so was for the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This time, Greece is offering Australia twice as many artefacts. Of the 100 or so artefacts in the loan for 2032 there will be many more from Olympia – the site of the ancient Games for 1000 years.

Rediscovering a religious sanctuary

The Brisbane Olympics Exhibition will tell the remarkable story of the rediscovery of this long-lost games-site. In 1874 AD, Germany signed a contract with Greece to excavate Olympia. This contract stipulated for the first time that artefacts found in foreign digs would remain in Greece. Never again would there be the desecration that Lord Elgin – the Englishman – had visited on the Parthenon.

The Germans efficiently excavated the heart of Olympia in only eight years. The ancient Olympics were held in honour of Zeus Olympios, who was the leader of the pagan gods. Fittingly, it was his temple that the Germans first excavated (figure 1). Elis – the state that ran the ancient Games for 1000 years – built it to trumpet a military victory over a local rival. The artwork on this temple that German archaeologists unearthed literally rewrote the history of western art. For example, it depicted the heroic deeds of Hercules – the mythical superman who had supposedly founded the Olympics (figure 2).

The foremost artist of the later fifth century BC was Pheidias, who had built the Parthenon. Elis commissioned him to create a masterpiece for the temple’s interior. Pheidias set up a workshop at Olympia in the 420s where he created a 12-metre-high statue of Zeus. Made entirely of gold and ivory, his statue was quite quickly counted among the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Around the temple the Germans rediscovered many other monuments trumpeting military victories (figure 3). They also found hundreds of pieces of, and bases for, the statues of themselves that Olympic victors had commissioned.

Zeus had an oracle at Olympia which had for centuries given good answers to military questions. Worshippers thanked him by leaving bronze tripods or statuettes (figure 4). The Germans unearthed many thousands of such thanks-offerings as well as bronze sporting equipment and Games-regulations. Good examples of all these remarkable discoveries will be in the Brisbane Olympics Exhibition.

Track and field events

Sport is the main focus of what will be the most significant exhibition on the Olympics ever staged outside Greece. The ancient Games had a sprint race, which was the length of the stadium (figure 5), and three other footraces. The pentathlon had the five standard events: the sprint, javelin, long jump, discus and wrestling (figure 6).

Familiar as they appear, these events differed from the modern ones in interesting ways. Long jumpers at the ancient Olympics used hand weights basically in order to jump longer. Footraces there included one where runners sported the equipment of soldiers.

Combat sports

The three combat events at the ancient Games were even more warlike. They were boxing, wrestling and the pankration, which was like our kickboxing. Ancient Greek boxing gloves were designed like knuckledusters (figure 7). They protected a boxer’s hands and, at the same time, caused gaping wounds on his opponent’s face. The statues of victorious boxers at Olympia unsurprisingly showed them with flattened noses, facial scars and cauliflower ears (figure 8).

Combat events generally ended when a competitor was bashed unconscious or was otherwise forced to give up. Understandably, it was common for there to be serious injuries or even deaths at the ancient Games.  This helps us to see why an Olympic competitor was thought to require the same virtues as a soldier. He too had to accept the kindunoi or dangers of contest and always to display aretē or courage.

War and peace

In the first 8 years of their dig, the Germans decided against excavating the Olympic stadium itself (figure 5). This had to wait for a dark milestone in Olympia’s rediscovery: the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It is still shocking that the new German regime co-opted the ancient Games. As part of its propaganda, it invented a ritual that we take for granted today: the Olympic torch relay. This was purely a Nazi invention because there was no such relay at the ancient Games. 

The German Führer used his own discretionary funds to pay for the Olympic stadium’s excavation. Adolf Hitler was not disappointed with what was discovered. German archaeologists unearthed there many thousands of weapons and pieces of armour (figure 9). The ancient Greeks often made a monument for a military victory by hammering such items onto a pole. This tropaion or trophy was set up on the battlefield.

But the Germans had discovered that Greek states also set up duplicate military trophies in the Olympic stadium itself.  Peace is a cherished ideal of the modern Olympics. By showcasing such weapons, the Brisbane Olympics Exhibition will clarify how the ancient Games were more closely linked to war.

Chariot racing

The ancient Olympics also differed from ours in having races for chariots, horses and mule-carts. The agōn or contest for four-horse chariots was the veritable formula-one racing of ancient Greece (figure 10). It was the sport of choice of Greek tyrants, Macedonian kings and, in time, Roman emperors. Because the chariots were usually driven by hired professionals, victory in this agōn had nothing to do with the courage of team-owners.

In the 390s BC, a Spartan king wanted to make this criticism by getting his sister to enter a chariot team of four horses. Agesilaus reasoned that if she, as a mere woman, won, everyone would see how worthless this agōn was. His sister’s team did win, but Kyniska had other ideas. She commissioned statues of herself and her team, setting them up at Olympia. The poem that she had inscribed on their common base defiantly boasted that she was the first-ever female Olympic victor.

Sportswomen

I am insisting that the Brisbane Olympics Exhibition includes this absolutely beautiful statuette of a Greek sportswoman (figure 11). It was left as a thanks-offering for Zeus at his other oracle at Dodona. Greek men generally thought that women lacked the virtues that sport and war required. There was a male anxiety too that women might well have extramarital affairs if they were allowed to work out in public. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that women were barred from competing in person at the ancient Games or from practising sport more generally. 

Nevertheless, there was one state where they were allowed to be sportswomen – Sparta. It is from there that this statuette originally came. But this did not mean that Spartan men were proto-feminists. Rather they thought that sport ensured that their wives would bear strong males for the Spartan army.

Sport beyond the Olympics

Sport in ancient Greece was also much more than the Olympic Games every four years. Often overlooked is that these Games were part of an international circuit of four international sports festivals. The three other games in this circuit took place at Corinth, Nemea and Delphi. The citizens of every Greek state swelled with national pride when a fellow citizen won at such panhellenic games. This explains why they always gave such a victor their highest civic honours (figure 12). These were free front-row tickets at local games and free meals – both for life.

The one-thousand states of the classical Greek world also staged their own local sports festivals. We know of at least two-hundred such local games. The greatest of them was the Great Panathenaea – the sporting festival for Athena that the Athenians staged every four years. The Great Panathenaea had unique warlike events. For example, the apobatēs required an Athenian soldier to jump on and off a chariot (figure 10). In the anthippasia, Athenian cavalry-units charged each other (figure 13).

Olympic sports were also a standard part of male schooling across the Greek world (figure 6). The Brisbane Olympics Exhibition could attract – it is estimated – 750,000 visitors. The one-hundred-plus artefacts in this blockbuster will be used to educate them all about this wider sporting world.

Roman Olympia

Rome’s conquest of Greece was good and bad for the ancient Olympics. In 69 AD, Nero, the infamous Roman emperor, insisted on entering a ten-horse team into the four-horse chariot race. Driving the team himself, he came dead last after repeatedly falling out of his chariot. Elis’s games-umpires prudently proclaimed him the victor anyway. A century later, the Romans improved the Olympic water-supply by building a fountain for the Nymphs. So that the Greeks would not mix up their Roman emperors, this fountain featured the statues of recent ones (figure 14).

The ancient Greeks worshipped Zeus at Olympia for more than a millennium. But his worship there ended abruptly in 393 AD when Theodosius I, who was a zealous Christian emperor, outlawed all remaining pagan rites. This end was reflected in the still-standing workshop of P...

Introduction: The GIMNASTRADA is a recreational gymnastics event held every year in Cáceres (Spain), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. The first edition was held in 1996 and the last edition to date was in 2025. It has been held every year without interruption except for the 2020 edition, which was suspended due to COVID-19. The 2019 edition (23rd edition) was the most popular, with around 3,700 gymnasts and 12,000 spectators taking part. The aim of this study was to ascertain the social impact of GIMNASTRADA 2019 among residents and non-residents of Cáceres. Methods: To do this, a total of 210 participants anonymously answered a questionnaire about its possible positive effects (e.g., recognition and promotion of the city, fostering social and cultural exchange) and negative effects (e.g., increased traffic and insecurity, deterioration of the city and its surroundings). The questionnaire was answered via mobile devices using a Google Docs form and sent to the research team for further analysis. Results: Residents and non-residents scored similarly to the 12 answers of the questionnaire, except for the item related to the pride that the sporting event was held in the city. The results showed that residents of the host City (Cáceres) were more proud that the GIMNASTRADA was taking place in their city than nonresidents (p < .001). Discussion: It is recommended that these results be taken into account in the management of future editions of this gymnastics event in order to reinforce the positive social impacts on the host city and limit the negative effects on both residents and foreign participants.

DAVID M. PRITCHARD Ο ι πρώτοι σύγχρονοι Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες έλαβαν χώρα στην Αθήνα το 1896. Στα εκατόν τριάντα χρόνια που έχουν ακολουθήσει, οι Ολυμπιακοί και οι Παραολυμπιακοί Αγώνες έχουν γίνει η μεγαλύτερη κοσμική εκδήλωση στον κόσμο. Οι Αυστραλοί είναι εξαιρετικά υπερήφανοι για τη συμμετοχή τους σε σύγχρονους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες -και για τη φιλοξενία τους. Όσο εντυπωσιακή κι αν είναι αυτή η ιστορία, αποτελεί, ωστόσο, μόλις ένα μικρό κομμάτι μιας πολύ παλαιότερης και μεγαλύτερης ιστορίας. Οι αρχαίοι Έλληνες διοργάνωναν Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες για χίλια χρόνια. Οι Αγώνες τους αποτελούσαν πόλο έλξης κορυφαίων αθλητών από τα πέρατα των χιλίων ελληνικών πόλεων-κρατών στη λεκάνη της Μεσογείου. Με σαράντα χιλιάδες θεατές, οι αγώνες τους αποτελούσαν, επίσης, τη μεγαλύτερη εκδήλωση στον κόσμο. Η Ελληνική Δημοκρατία έχει λάβει την ιστορική απόφαση να δανείσει στην Αυστραλία για τους Αγώνες του 2032 πολύτιμα αρχαιολογικά ευρήματα που απεικονίζουν τους αρχαίους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες. Η Ελλάδα σπανίως προβαίνει σε τέτοιους δανεισμούς. Η πρώτη φορά που έκανε κάτι τέτοιο ήταν για τους Ολυμπιακούς και Παραολυμπιακούς Αγώνες του Σύδνεϋ του 2000. Αυτήν τη φορά, η Ελλάδα προσφέρει στην Αυστραλία διπλάσιο αριθμό αρχαιολογικών ευρημάτων. Ανάμεσα στα γύρω στα 100 αρχαιολογικά ευρήματα που θα δανειστούν για το 2032 θα συμπεριλαμβάνονται πολύ περισσότερα από την Ολυμπία -τον τόπο διεξαγωγής των αρχαίων Αγώνων για 1000 χρόνια.

The years following Vladimir Putin's return to the Russian presidency in 2012 saw a significant escalation in the legal and extralegal mechanisms used to suppress political dissent — from the criminalization of public protest to the passage of legislation targeting LGBTQ communities and foreign-funded civil society organizations. This column examines the Russian state's approach to dissent management as a case study in the anthropology of authoritarianism, drawing on frameworks for understanding the relationship between law, fear, and political agency under conditions of repression. The piece pays particular attention to the activists and civil society organizations that continued to operate under these conditions, asking what resistance looks like when the space for it is being systematically closed.

Este folleto nace de un trabajo de investigación exhaustiva hecho en Puerto Rico y varios lugares en los Estados Unidos, especialmente en Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nació en gran parte de un descubrimiento de investigación contextual: un ensayo escrito que estuvo perdido por más de cien años. El ensayo fue escrito por Pedro Albizu Campos a los diecinueve años en el 1912 cuando era estudiante en la Ponce High School. Desde el 1912, se conocía del ensayo, escrito en inglés "Porto Rico Through a Transition," por los breve comentarios publicados en el periódico de aquel tiempo, El Águila de Puerto Rico. Se desconocía el paradero del ensayo completo hasta ahora. Fue descubierto recientemente en el 2022 en los archivos de una revista de Boston, guardado entre páginas olvidadas en una revista publicada en el 1916 cuando Albizu era estudiante subgraduado en Harvard College.

Ese hallazgo, junto con otro ensayo publicado en el 1917, nos obliga a repensar a Albizu, no como el líder que ya conocemos por los libros y artículos académicos serios de historia, sino como el joven que fue antes. Un joven interesado en aprender todo lo que se pueda aprender, un joven de Ponce, leyendo un ensayo frente a su comunidad, lleno de esperanza en el futuro. El ensayo fue leído como parte de las actividades de graduación en junio 1912.

No presente artigo objetiva-se compreender o Livro Vermelho, de Mao Tsé-Tung, como objeto central na construção e sustentação das narrativas políticas da Revolução Cultural Chinesa a partir da perspectiva da cultura material e do consumo. Sabendo que objetos carregam imaterialidades – como ideologias e mensagens políticas –, buscou-se compreender como um item aparentemente simples foi estrategicamente estruturado para fixar o pensamento maoísta no cotidiano da comunidade chinesa. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas com pessoas nascidas na China, além da análise de referencial teórico correspondente (Leese, 2011; Li, 2003; Pomar, 2003). Observou-se que a estrutura compacta, a linguagem acessível e a portabilidade do livro contribuíram significativamente para a sua ampla absorção durante a Revolução Cultural. Esses elementos facilitaram práticas coletivas de leitura, recitação e cópia e o transformaram em um item de consumo ritualizando e reforçando a lealdade ao movimento.

More than a century ago now, the founder of contemporary Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin emphasized the importance of educating youth through sport to create a better and peaceful world. This study aimed to find answer to the posed question, whether Coubertin's concept can indeed apply to the youth generation at present. Thus, this study examined the potentiality of Olympism as a powerful vehicle for teaching youths the life skills for conflict resolution and inculcating positive knowledge, attitudes, values and morals through the medium of physical education and sport. This study proposed a framework for developing a conflict resolution curriculum model through Olympism and tested it within a strongly ethnically polarized society in Sri Lanka. Introducing the concepts of Olympic values to the secondary school curriculum showed real promise in helping youth to acquire fundamental social skills and ethical values. It has contributed to the academic knowledge of the use of Olympism and has demonstrated how it might be used to strengthen the sport and education nexus and to improve young students' conflict resolution competencies.

This article examines the functions and meanings of akropoleis in Greek antiquity, drawing on references from ancient textual sources from Homer until the second century AD. Despite its rarity in literature and epigraphy, the word ‘akropolis’ carried a wide array of often conflicting connotations throughout antiquity. This study highlights how the symbolic meaning of ‘akropolis’, in parallel with historical developments, developed from an overall marker of civic pride in Classical-period texts to a metaphor of oppressive rule in later literature. While acknowledging local and temporal variation, the study argues for a careful, historically grounded application of the term in scholarship. Ultimately, akropoleis emerge not only as architectural features but as potent cultural signifiers with enduring resonance in the political and philosophical imagination of antiquity

La presente reflexión teórica tiene como objetivo repensar el concepto de “revisionismo” desde las Teorías de las Relaciones Internacionales formuladas en la periferia. Para ello, el escrito repasa los aportes del mainstream de la disciplina sobre los Estados statu quoistas y revisionistas y analiza dichas contribuciones a la luz de las lógicas maximizadoras de poder y defensivo-posicionalistas. Luego, se reinterpretan esas categorías a partir de la dimensión vertical del poder, examinando cómo los intereses ligados al statu quo y al revisionismo se manifiestan entre los países periféricos o menos poderosos del sistema internacional.

O presente trabalho corresponde a produção de um artigo acadêmico, que objetivou-se a refletir sobre como as novas abordagens jornalísticas tornam-se espaços preponderantes na (des)construção de identidades, através da análise da plataforma de jornalismo Sumaúma. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na disciplina de Teorias da Comunicação e da Indústria Criativa componente obrigatório mestrado em Comunicação e Indústria Criativa (PPGCIC), da Unipampa Campus São Borja. A produção buscou compreender como que o jornalismo contribui para a construção de determinadas representações e espaços sociais, através da maneira que apresenta e recorta a noticiabilidade das pautas e dos discursos adotados, ou seja, a partir das abordagens jornalísticas desenvolvidas, e aqui, pontuamos o fato que o jornalismo desempenha um papel fundamental na construção e manutenção do imaginário social.

El presente trabajo busca determinar el vínculo entre el orden castrense y las diversas prácticas deportivas desarrolladas en la provincia de Santiago del Estero, en Argentina desde inicios del siglo XX hasta mediados de dicho período, abarcando como campo de análisis, el social. Para ello, se recurre a un análisis de diversas fuentes bibliográficas y documentales, tales como revistas, informes, periódicos y libros, las cuales permiten reconstruir el modo en que este proceso fue desarrollándose en el ámbito local. En un contexto nacional y provincial en el que la vida cotidiana se encontraba fuertemente atravesada por lo marcial, dicha impronta tuvo repercusiones en distintos ámbitos de la vida social, entre ellos el deportivo. En una etapa de crecimiento y auge de los deportes, la intervención de instituciones y actores vinculados al ejército resultó fundamental para la consolidación, difusión y expansión de estas prácticas en la cultura santiagueña. A través del deporte, el orden militar promovió una formación de los cuerpos y del movimiento basada en los principios de disciplinamiento, control y obediencia, configurándose como un actor central en la organización social y en el desarrollo de las prácticas deportivas durante el período analizado.

ITA: L’articolo analizza le Olimpiadi di St. Louis del 1904 come un caso emblematico del rapporto ambiguo tra sport, scienza e ideologie razziali. Accanto ad alcune innovazioni sportive, i Giochi furono segnati dagli “Anthropology Days”, evento legato all’Esposizione universale che trasformò uomini e culture non occidentali in oggetti di osservazione, spettacolo e discriminazione. Attraverso questo episodio, il contributo mostra come l’intreccio tra antropologia, colonialismo e olimpismo abbia prodotto forme di esclusione e gerarchizzazione, ma anche come da quella crisi sia emersa una critica destinata a favorire il passaggio verso un’antropologia antirazzista e relativista.

ENG: This article examines the 1904 St. Louis Olympics as a revealing case of the ambiguous relationship between sport, science, and racial ideology. Alongside important sporting innovations, the Games were marked by the “Anthropology Days,” an event connected to the World’s Fair that turned non-Western peoples and cultures into objects of observation, spectacle, and discrimination. Through this episode, the article shows how the intersection of anthropology, colonialism, and Olympism produced exclusion and racial hierarchies, while also helping to generate the criticism that contributed to the shift toward an anti-racist and culturally relativist anthropology.

Este trabalho tem a finalidade de levantar um questionamento sobre a prática profissional do jornalismo esportivo, sobre essa produção noticiosa ocorre no Brasil da década de 2010. Desse modo, foi produzido um levantamento qualitativo, com as referências bibliográficas da cultura, bem como os processos da deontologia. Para uma aproximação teórico-prática na contemporaneidade, foram realizadas pesquisas de campo com profissionais, pesquisadores e professores de Jornalismo, cujas entrevistas tiveram como pergunta central “o que é jornalismo esportivo”, diante da realização dos Jogos Olímpicos do Rio de Janeiro em 2016. No estudo das interfaces esportivas do jornalismo, foram constatados que o processo de produção de notícias no Brasil encontra desafios diante da cobertura massiva de uma modalidade, o futebol e o acontecimento multifacetado nos noticiários esportivos.

Resumo: O potencial das interfaces nos processos comunicativos evidencia a produção midiática com informações em recursos interativos. Esses recursos são convergentes em meio ao desenvolvimento das transmissões esportivas, do entretenimento permeado pelo jornalismo, das tipicidades do Brasil e a identificação local do Rio de Janeiro, com cidade-sede dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016. As pautas passam a aglutinar especialidades de diferentes editorias, além do tratamento multieditorial, como por exemplo, turismo e política na seção esportiva. Este trabalho visa a elaborar uma análise que se parte da mensagem jornalística olímpica diante dos processos comunicacionais da contemporaneidade.

Desse modo, foi produzido um levantamento com as referências bibliográficas sobre o tema, bem como foram realizadas entrevistas com pesquisadores e professores de Jornalismo. A pergunta central foi "O que é jornalismo esportivo?". As entrevistas foram realizadas durante os preparativos para a realização dos Jogos Olímpicos do Rio de Janeiro em 2016. Buscou-se uma interlocução entre os especialistas, com o objetivo de elucidar as interfaces do jornalismo esportivo na contemporaneidade.

Este trabalho visa discutir os projetos urbanísticos, sociais e infraestruturais após arealização dos Jogos Olímpicos no Rio de Janeiro. Por meio das propostas ecompromissos assumidos com o Comitê Olímpico Internacional, se tentará verificar juntoàs teorias da cultura quais seriam os motivos que conduziram à situação de abandono daregião do Porto Maravilha após as reformas na revitalização desse entorno a partir doâmbito sociopolítico e educacional. A partir da análise das pautas jornalísticas esportivasrelacionadas ao evento, se tentará analisar a partir da cultura brasileira os motivos queaparentam um desinteresse na utilização das instalações.

Esta tese analisa o website do Comitê Olímpico do Brasil (COB), tendo como base a discussão em torno do jornalismo esportivo, desde a perspectiva teórico-conceitual à produção e a usabilidade diante das mediações tecnológicas. A página do COB apresenta um potencial diferenciado para a produção de notícias, ao abrigar características com pouca recorrência nos noticiários brasileiros, focados nos esportes de alto rendimento, na competição e na popularidade das modalidades e de atletas. Surge um desafio nessa cobertura: ampliar a visibilidade das modalidades na mídia e a necessidade de priorizar os valores esportivos como a excelência, o respeito e a amizade. Esse potencial vai além da cobertura das principais competições, como os campeonatos mundiais e os Jogos, ocorridos no Rio de Janeiro, em 2016. Assim, esta pesquisa tem como principal objetivo responder à seguinte pergunta: o site do COB, ao proporcionar que usuários-interatores acessem as informações dos principais acontecimentos das modalidades olímpicas, teria sido utilizado como fonte para a criação de pautas a serem desenvolvidas pelos jornalistas especializados em esportes? Com a finalidade de abordar a discussão do modo de uso / funcionalidade do conteúdo eletrônico jornalístico do Comitê Olímpico do Brasil, este trabalho se debruça sobre a coleta e a análise de entrevistas com pesquisadores, jornalistas e profissionais da mídia.

Este trabalho discute a produção do site do Comitê Olímpico do Brasil a partir de uma abordagem dirigida aos jornalistas que atuam no departamento de comunicação da instituição. A realização das entrevistas tem como base ainserção in loco com a realização de quatro perguntasabertas e semiestruturadas: a destinação das informações produzidas, o conteúdo jornalístico, a utilização de multiplataformas de comunicação digital e o trabalho credenciado durante os Jogos Olímpicos de 2016 no Rio deJaneiro. Com isso, se pretende verificar o processo deprodução de notícias com o uso da internet: o jornalista, que nesse meio também atua como usuário-interator das tecnologias de informação e comunicação.

Nuestra actual forma de practicar y entender el deporte, en cuanto a valores asociados se refiere, ha sido fijada principalmente por el Movimiento Olímpico. El Comité Olímpico Internacional reconoce tres valores fundamentales que definen el Olimpismo moderno: excelencia, amistad y respeto. Olimpízate es una iniciativa interdisciplinar, a la que se han adherido todos los departamentos didácticos de un centro de enseñanza secundaria, con el ánimo de incidir, desde diversas perspectivas, en la adquisición y proyección de los valores olímpicos. Los materiales se han presentado como una forma de promover el aprendizaje y la participación, estimular el pensamiento crítico, contribuir al desarrollo personal y social del alumno, descubrir la realidad olímpica, su historia y simbología y fomentar e inculcar los valores olímpicos en la comunidad educativa. Esta experiencia nos ha permitido explorar y poner en práctica las enormes posibilidades que tiene un centro educativo para incentivar la ...

In the logic of Hellenic culture and motivated by the educational experiences of English public schools, Pierre de Coubertin, in 1894, started the institutionalization of the modern Olympic Movement establishing an ideological rupture with physical education and the various gymnastic systems that, at the time, punctuated in Europe. What fundamentally pulled away Coubertin from the proselytes of physical education was the idea of fair, noble and loyal competition as an instrument of education and culture developed on a global scale. For Coubertin, sport should establish an epistemological break with the static concept of Juvenal eurhythmics to assume a dynamic perspective that, in the dialectic of balances and imbalances should generate development and progress. In such perspective, Coubertin was a winner because, at the end of 120 years, the Olympic Project has proven to be one of the greatest achievements of mankind.

The article reveals a previously hidden dimension of Soviet queer history by situating the USSR within a transnational queer context. It reconstructs previously unknown contacts between Soviet and foreign queer individuals from the early 1960s to the late 1980s. The article demonstrates that many left-oriented Western queer activists viewed the Soviet socialist project as inherently queer and understood Stalin's recriminalization of homosexuality as an abrupt departure from the ideals of the world's first socialist revolution. They traveled to the USSR to establish contacts and, in some cases, to critique the criminalization of homosexuality from a sympathetic leftist perspective. In doing so, they also produced acute and revealing observations about the lives of nonheterosexual people in the Soviet Union, as well as about broader societal attitudes toward them.

El deporte formativo es una actividad que busca promover la salud física en los niños y jóvenes, teniendo como propósito formar personas integrales; sin embargo, se ha evidenciado que las escuelas de formación deportiva, por lo general, se centran en el entrenamiento físico, dejando a un lado la educación en habilidades para la vida. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo desarrollar una intervención psicoeducativa basada en La Casita de la Resiliencia de Vanistendael (2004) para potenciar la resiliencia de los jóvenes deportistas de un club de baloncesto del municipio de Dosquebradas, Risaralda. Esta intervención se llevó a cabo desde un paradigma cualitativo con alcance descriptivo y contó con la participación de 21 deportistas de entre 13 y 16 años. Se aplicó la Escala de resiliencia de Wagnild y Young (1993), y se realizó un grupo focal femenino y uno masculino para conocer las percepciones de los deportistas sobre el desarrollo de la intervención. El estudio reveló diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres en cuanto a la gestión emocional y el comportamiento en el contexto deportivo; los resultados muestran que la intervención proporcionó a los jóvenes conocimiento y a su vez recursos necesarios para afrontar los desafíos deportivos, emocionales y psicológicos desde un enfoque más holístico. Esta intervención contribuye a la formación integral de los deportistas, promoviendo una experiencia deportiva valiosa y un desarrollo favorable de la vida.

A labor-leisure model helps explain why entry into competitive swim is blocked. Swim has been, historically, a racially uniform sport. Demand shocks during Olympic years may portend that a different era is coming. Blocked entry is related to competitive balance in the sport. A Hirschman-Hirfindahl index of competitive balance in collegiate swim is used to compare swim to other sports. A third grader perches on the starting block waiting for the referee's whistle. Her goggles are set-checked twice in the last 10 seconds. A parent crouches at the opposite end of the pool: her phone is ready to capture every stroke and flip turn. The typical age-group swimmer might swim in four or five events at a meet. The meet will start early in the morning (say, seven o'clock) and may run until dinnertime. Swim meets are labor-intensive experiences. Parents spend hours of waiting around for mere minutes of competition (sometimes mere seconds of competition if it is a sprint event). As children age up and compete at the high school or Junior Olympic (JO) level, our dutiful parent is getting up at four o'clock in the morning to take the child to morning practice before school, three to five mornings a week. These are in addition to regular after-school practices. Swim competition is unique-not only in its practice regimen-but in its execution as well. Consider the setup for a typical meet. The races are organized into heats: usually three heats (there can be more depending on the number of swimmers in the meet). Slower swimmers swim first; the fastest swims occur in the last heat.

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa em nível de mestrado cujo objetivo é contribuir para a compreensão do jornalismo literário produzido por Dorrit Harazim na cobertura de guerras e conflitos no Vietnã, no Chile, na Cisjordânia e em Nova York. A base teórica apoia-se nos conceitos de jornalismo literário (BAK, 2011, 2017; LIMA, 2009, 2014; MARTINEZ, 2016) e cobertura de guerra e conflitos (KNIGHTLEY, 1978; SCHELP, 2016), além de reportagens, relatos pessoais e biografias de correspondentes. Então, partindo da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011), buscamos nos textos de Harazim as três características de jornalismo literário apresentadas por Martinez (2016): apuração; digestão e compreensão do material apurado; e redação em estilo literário. Os resultados indicam que Harazim produziu reportagens com todos esses elementos.

This paper presents the results of a master's-level research aimed at contributing to the understanding of literary journalism produced by Dorrit Harazim in the coverage of wars and conflicts in Vietnam, Chile, the West Bank and New York. The theoretical basis are the concepts of literary journalism (Bak, 2011, 2017; Lima, 2009, 2014; Martinez, 2016) and coverage of war and conflicts (Knightley, 1978; Schelp, 2016), in addition to reports, personal reports and biographies of correspondents. Using content analysis as the method (Bardin, 2011), we searched in Harazim's texts for the three characteristics of literary journalism presented by Martinez (2016): investigation; digestion and understanding of the verified material; and writing in a literary style. The results indicate that to some extend Harazim produced reports with all these elements.

Results of a previous study in the SBPJOR (Brazilian Association of Journalism Researchers) database (MARTINEZ; LAGO; LAGO, 2016), covering the period 2010-2014, pointed to a possible boom in research relating journalism to gender studies. In this study, carried out in the database of Intercom’s journalism research groups in the last five years (2016-2020), we prove the quantitative increase in the work. Despite the increase, there remains a tenuous relationship in the issue of theoretical integration of the two fields, as most of the studies are descriptive (PERUZZO, 2018) and do not use the concept of gender as an operational category of analysis (SCOTT, 1995) to understand the field of journalism.

Este trabalho discute os resultados de pesquisa de mestrado que investigou como a Reportagem Seriada é praticada por jornalistas profissionais da imprensa nacional escrita. O referencial teórico contempla os estudos em Jornalismo Literário (Bak; Martinez, 2018; Martinez, 2018; Bak; Reynolds, 2011; Lima, 2009) e em Reportagens Seriadas (Souza Júnior, 2011; Meyer, 1996; Andretta, 2008, 2013; Gapy, 2018). Do ponto de vista metodológico, emprega revisão de literatura e análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2016). Devido à dificuldade de rastreamento das peças, percebeu-se a necessidade de se repensar a noção conceitual porque o termo até então usado, Série de Reportagens, remetia à localização de produções de suítes ou
às coleções de matérias sobre um único assunto publicadas como uma grande reportagem numa
única edição (Gapy, 2019). O que nos levou a optar pelo termo Reportagem Seriada por entender
que este não leva a dúvidas relacionadas às suítes ou grandes reportagens -- o que é entendido
como uma das duas principais contribuições deste estudo. A segunda contribuição, a nosso ver, é a
metodologia exploratória desenhada para esta análise. Desta forma, o corpus consistiu em um jornal
de cada uma das cinco regiões brasileiras, mais um diário local: 1) Região Norte – A Crítica, de
Manaus (AM); 2) Região Nordeste: Diario de Pernambuco, Recife (PE); Local – Cruzeiro do Sul,
Sorocaba (SP); 4) Região Sul – Correio do Povo, Porto Alegre (RS); 5) Região Sudeste –Tribuna
de Minas, Juiz de Fora (MG); 6) Região Centro-Oeste - Correio Braziliense, Brasília (DF). Além
da sugestão de termo e metodologia empregados, os resultados apontam a falta de planejamento
que permeia o processo produtivo, da proposta de reportagens seriadas por repórteres/editores à
divulgação das mesmas nos veículos. Os achados também ressaltam que os jornalistas estão usando
esse espaço para propor pautas que primam pelas narrativas de transformação, optando por temas
de cunho social e desenvolvimento humano.

The contribution of the "Projet Gilliéron" research to the exhibition at the Louvre in 2021. This is the first biographical introduction and synthesis on the main chapters of the professional career of the two first artists of the Gilliéron family, Gilliéron père (1850-1924) and Gilliéron fils (1885-1939).
The topics span from their early formation, travels to Greece, and major chapters of their careers, as professional collaborations on the Athenian Acropolis, Mycenae with H. Schliemann, Knossos with A. Evans, but also early missions to Mount Athos with S. Lambros and the foundation of the private brand for galvanoplastic reproductions É. Gilliéron - Athènes (later É. Gilliéron & Fils - Athènes), with the WMF in Geislingen an der Steige. The highlight was the participation at the Exposition Universelle de Paris in 1900, where É.G. père won a bronze medal.

In this article Gilliéron is firstly identified as the main official artist of the first Olympic Games of 1896 in Athens, with archival documents and drawings linking him to the first "poster" of the modern Olympic Games.

At the occasion of the Louvre 2021 exposition was presented a selection of unpublished and recently restored (*) archival material from the collection deposited since 2015/2018 at the École française d'Athènes, after the donation by the family, as from other institutions.

The presentation of the Gilliéron chapter at the Musée du Louvre was furthermore significant, as both artists had (partly) studied in Paris, at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (in 1873/74 and 1906/07 respectively) and had visited, studied and painted in the Louvre.

* Restoration of part of the exposed materials was supported by the OFC (Office de la Culture Suisse, from 2019 to 2022).

en 1946 hasta la actualidad. Se examinan los hitos deportivos más relevantes en los estilos libre y grecorromano, destacando la participación en Juegos Olímpicos y rankings mundiales. Asimismo, se expone una problemática crítica: la ausencia de una base científica, estudios cineantropométricos y el rol reactivo del Estado a través del Instituto Peruano del Deporte (IPD), lo cual limita el desarrollo de una metodología de entrenamiento basada en las características biotipológicas del atleta peruano. Introducción La lucha amateur en el Perú es una disciplina con ocho décadas de institucionalidad. A pesar de ser un deporte que ha otorgado representatividad olímpica constante al país, su desarrollo ha sido predominantemente empírico. La falta de una política de Estado orientada a la investigación científica aplicada al deporte ha generado un techo en el rendimiento de los atletas, quienes * Instituto Peruano del Deporte. (2025).

Que presentan y las propuestas de mejora que pueden generarse para transformar este entorno. Metodológicamente, el estudio se planteó con un alcance exploratorio y un enfoque mixto, apoyado en entrevistas y encuestas aplicadas a actores del entorno deportivo, con el propósito de conocer sus experiencias, percepciones y valoraciones sobre el ambiente relacional, el liderazgo, la desmotivación, la desigualdad de oportunidades y la necesidad de implementar programas de formación en valores y comunicación Como principal conclusión, se identificó que las malas relaciones interpersonales, la falta de transparencia, los favoritismos y el insuficiente apoyo institucional constituyen obstáculos estructurales que afectan tanto el rendimiento como la permanencia de los deportistas, debilitando además la función social del deporte como espacio de desarrollo, salud, integración y movilidad social. En consecuencia, se concluye que mejorar las relaciones interpersonales, fortalecer la justicia deportiva y garantizar apoyos más equitativos son condiciones fundamentales para construir un sistema deportivo mexicano más humano, incluyente y competitivo. Esta conclusión retoma el sentido general de tu planteamiento, objetivos, análisis de resultados y propuestas de mejora.
