EOC PRESIDENT EOC Newsletter EOC Newsletter No. 201 April 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, The value of staying connected while isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be understated. I am pleased to report that, following our first EOC Executive Committee meeting held by teleconference this month, the Olympic Movement of Europe is as close and interconnected as ever. Our day-to-day business, while certainly altered by the crisis, nevertheless continues unabated. There is nothing we were doing before the pandemic that we are not doing now in terms of our daily operations, and my sincere appreciation goes out to all the staff and administration at sports organisations across Europe for the excellent work you are doing in this regard. Staying connected and sharing best practices was one of the goals of our recent survey of the 50 European National Olympic Committees, which you can read more about in this newsletter and on the EOC website. The survey has allowed us to monitor and evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on sports around the continent. While the situation from country to country differs greatly depending on the local impact of coronavirus and other factors, two problems are universal: a lack of income due to the absence of sports events and limited access to sports facilities for elite athletes. Respondents provided us with a number of best practices, in particular with regard to assisting top athletes with their training routines, and I call on our ENOCs to continue sharing such knowledge for the benefit of all sports bodies in Europe. The COVID-19 pandemic is gradually improving, and we are finally seeing some liberalisation in terms of sanctioned sports activities. But sport, like healthcare, falls under the sovereignty of national governments and the EOC is aware that whatever we do at the continental level may not be applicable to, or endorsed by, every country in Europe. So our advice for now is that we all begin by participating in national programmes designed to survive the crisis. I once again commend Europe’s Olympic Movement stakeholders for the solidarity you have shown and your willingness to come to the assistance of those in greater need. Likewise, should any ENOC find itself in a precarious position, contact us and we will do everything we can to help you. Please stay healthy and strong. Best regards. Janez Kocijančič EOC President 1 EOC NEWSLETTER April 2020 EOC EOC ExCo discusses measures to ease impact of COVID-19 crisis on NOCs The European Olympic Committees (EOC) Executive Committee (ExCo) held its second meeting of 2020 on 29 April via teleconference to discuss a number of important matters, in particular the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sport and measures to deal with the fallout. Chaired by EOC President Janez Kocijančič, the meeting focused primarily on the current state of sport in Europe and ways to assist the 50 European National Olympic Committees (ENOCs). The ExCo pledged its full support for the policies and guidance laid out in a letter sent earlier in the day by International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach. “As the stewards of the Olympic Movement in Europe, we need to stand strong and united behind the policies of the IOC for the benefit of sport and our athletes,” said President Kocijančič. “Let us be clear that if any ENOC is endangered, they should contact the EOC and we will do everything we can to help them in this time of crisis.” Read more EOC unveils results of COVID-19 survey The EOC has unveiled the results of a flagship survey aimed at assessing the impact of the current COVID-19 crisis on Olympic Movement stakeholders in Europe. Forty-five of the 50 European National Olympic Committees (ENOCs) took part in the survey, which was conducted from 6 to 14 April 2020 in collaboration with European management consulting firmMethodos Group. “As the umbrella body for the National Olympic Committees of Europe, it is our duty to assist our members where possible,” said EOC Secretary General Raffaele Pagnozzi. “By surveying the ENOCs, we were able to get a clearer idea of what is working well – and to share those best practices – while also figuring out what their greatest needs are and how we can help.” Read more 2 EOC NEWSLETTER April 2020 EOC celebrates World Earth Day by becoming partner of Green Sports Europe hub The 50th anniversary of #EarthDay was celebrated on 22 April 2020. Since 1970, increased focus has been put on safeguarding the planet, and the EOC is grateful for these efforts. All sports are dependent on the health of our environment, and as part of the ongoing efforts to protect the planet, the EOC has pledged its support for a “Green Sports Europe Hub” programme. This green partnership of European sports stakeholders is being led by the Confédération Européenne de Volleyball (CEV) and the Surfrider Foundation Europe (SFE), and is supported by eight other European sports organisations. The objective is to create a pan-European hub on sport and the environment to help the sport sector identify its needs and potential actions for a greener and more sustainable future. In endorsing this initiative, EOC President Janez Kocijančič pledged the support of the EOC by offering to help disseminate the project’s legacy among the European National Olympic Committees and to a wider European audience and beyond. “We are confident that this partnership has sufficient knowledge and expertise to successfully implement, execute and disseminate the project.”Read more PIOTR NUROWSKI – Ten years of tribute A talented sportsman, an enlightened President of the Polish Olympic Committee, but above all a great friend of European sport, Piotr Nurowski lost his life just over 10 years ago, on 10 April 2010. Nurowski died in a plane crash in Smolensk, Russia, that also took the lives of the President of the Polish Republic and several personalities from Polish politics and sports. A few months after his death in 2010, the EOC decided to pay tribute to Nurowski and commemorate his life by creating an award bearing his name for the best young European athletes. To this day, the Piotr Nurowski Prize celebrates the memory and legacy of the former President of the Polish NOC, a great man of Olympism, who constantly encouraged young athletes to pursue careers in elite-level sport and inspired future generations to adopt healthy lifestyles based on the Olympic principles and values. Read more EOC EU Commission holds videoconference meeting The EOC EU Commission, chaired by Estonian Jüri Tamm, held a videoconference meeting on 21 April 2020. The online meeting was an opportunity for the Members in attendance to give an overview of the situation of the COVID-19 emergency in their country. They discussed the impact of the pandemic on European sport, concluding it is still early to make any meaningful assessments. They finally agreed to have another web-meeting in the near future to discuss the results of the EOC COVID-19 questionnaire and consequently advise on some guidelines to assist the European NOCs. 3 EOC NEWSLETTER April 2020 Digital celebration of International Day of Sport for Development and Peace 2020 The EOC has celebrated the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) through a digital mobilisation. Established by the United Nations (UN) in 2013 and supported by the IOC since 6 April 2014, the IDSDP has even greater value today as the global sporting community is facing serious challenges due to the COVID-19 outbreak. “On this special occasion, I would like to send my best wishes to the Olympic family of Europe, including our athletes, coaches and officials,” said EOC PresidentJanez Kocijančič. “Right now, the sports world has stopped, but I am fully confident it will kick off again stronger than ever.” In celebration of the IDSDP on 6 April, the EOC Athletes’ Commission (AC) and the National Olympic Committees of Europe joined the “Peace and Sport” digital campaign and shared messages of global solidarity through sport. Read more EUROPEAN YOUTH OLYMPIC FESTIVAL BANSKÁ BYSTRICA 2021 – Summer EYOF moved to 2022 to avoid clash with Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games The XVI Summer European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) Banská Bystrica 2021 has been moved to 2022 in order to avoid a clash with the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, being postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision was taken in agreement with the Organising Committee and approved by the EOC Executive Committee, during its last meeting held in videoconference on 29 April 2020. The Summer EYOF, originally to be held in Slovakia from 25 to 31 July 2021, coincided with the new Olympic Games dates - 23 July to 8 August. “We have had successful negotiations with the EOC on a possible postponement and various options have been considered,” noted Peter Korčok, Executive Director of the EYOF 2021 Banská Bystrica Organising Committee. “The move of the EYOF to 2022 seemed to be the most advantageous solution.” “The EOC has consulted all the European Federations (EFs) involved to find the best possible new dates for the EYOF,” said EOC Sports Director Peter Brüll. “We have had a very constructive dialogue with the EFs and I strongly believe we will be able to organise an excellent event in Slovakia in 2022.”Read more 4 EOC NEWSLETTER April 2020 ENOCs AZERBAIJAN – Digital campaigns and OCEP programme to keep athletes and fans engaged The NOC of Azerbaijan has undertaken a number of engaging campaigns with the intention of maintaining good spirit and optimism among athletes and fans. Video competitions promoting sport and physical activity at home have attracted many participants, and the NOC is working closely with national sports federations and other sports institutions to find solutions to the problems inherent to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the one hand, your young athletes once again did our continent proud, winning the lion’s share of the medals and sending a clear message that Europe’s future on the Olympic stage is in good hands. But on the other, the untimely passing of our dear friend and colleague Patrick Baumann was a terrible shock and the hole it has left in the Olympic Movement will be a difficult one to fill. On behalf of all of us at the EOC, and the Olympic Movement throughout Europe, I offer my sincere condolences to everyone affected, in particular his wife and children. He will be profoundly missed. It is difficult to transition into a more lighthearted topic after that, but I am sure Patrick would have wanted us all to continue promoting sport and the Olympic values with the same amount of passion or possibly even more now that he is gone. So with that, I would like to congratulate all the ENOCs and their athletes for their hard work, dedication and success in Argentina. In the end, the Russian Federation topped the standings with 59 medals, led by swimmers Kliment Kolesnikov and Andrei Minakov, who each won six golds and one silver.

  • Julia Anna Jastrząbek the Olympic Games in Post-Socialist
    ROZPRAWY NAUKOWE Akademii Wychowania Fizycznego we Wrocławiu 2019, 65, 1–15 Julia Anna Jastrząbek Poznań University of Economics and Business THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN POST-SOCIALIST CITIEs – a rEAL goAL OR DISTANT FUTURE? CASE STUDIES OF CRACOW AND ALMATY The collapse of the Soviet Union has led to historical transitions in Central and Eastern Europe. The political and economic transformation in countries located in this world’s region has caused their dynamic socioeconomic development and more stable position on the international stage. Regarding the potential of hosting the Olympic Games as an opportunity for infrastructural im- provements, employment boost, and presentation of a positive image and traditions of a country, post-Soviet cities have entered the race for staging Olympic events. The main aim of this article is to analyse the bidding process for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games with an emphasis on case studies from two bidding cities with post-socialist history – Cracow and Almaty. Characteristic patterns and features of both cities’ bids, as well as differences between them are drawn, with conclusions on why these were unsuccessful. Cracow and Almaty’s bid paths in the 2022 Winter Olympics process were different. Cracow pulled out from the race during the applicant phase because of referendum results: the city residents were against the Olympics, while Almaty reached the final phase and lost to Beijing in final voting. It seems that post-socialist countries still have a weaker bargaining position in the bidding process than candidates with advanced and estab- lished economies. Key words: Winter Olympic Games, mega-events, post-socialist cities, political economy INTRODUCTION Since the disintegration process of the Eastern Bloc was accomplished, many new independent countries or those which regained their sovereignty lost after the Second World War have appeared on the world map.
