In accordance with his wishes, the first torch runner carries the flame which has been lit in the temple of Hera to light the altar which stands in front of the stele of modern Olym- piads. From there, the sacred flame, symbol of Katharsis and a new dawning, will start on its long symbolic journey, bringing light to nations on the road to peace- ful coexistence. Pierre de Coubertin, in his message to the first torch relay runners, compared their course to the constant struggle and efforts of the young for educational re- form. He was convinced that only a reform of the educational system could bring the necessary changes at political level, thus securing social tranquillity and world peace. The international Olympic Movement has never departed from this immutable goal. On the initiative of the IOC President, Mr Samaranch, efforts are being made through the UN to institute a truce for the duration of the Olympic Games. We hope that these efforts will bear fruit and that the torch runners may carry the flame even through regions at war spreading the principles and values of the Olympic Movement as laid down in the Olympic Charter. We hope that the successive OCOGs will contribute to the attainment of that goal by undertaking, in agreement with the IOC, to carry the flame only by land and sea. In this way, many people, especially those who would not have the means to host the Olympic Games, will be able to come in closer contact with the Olympic idea. In addition, by the opening up of communication channels, neigh- bouring nations will have the opportunity to cooperate and develop friendly rela- tions in the pursuit of a common goal and a common idea. Furthermore, this will be the most appropriate moment for all those who are taking part in the event to reflect, as they follow the flame along its journey, on all those common elements that unite mankind. In the first years of the Academy's operation, Carl Diem, the man who intro- duced the Olympic Torch Relay, wishing to give more emphasis to the symbolic 7 character of the flame, had built a mechanical train which carried the flame from the top of Mount Cronion to the camp that had been organized during the Session of the International Olympic Academy. Young people from various countries gathered around the sacred flame, mov- ing closer to one another, singing songs that they all knew, looking for the cultu- ral elements that united them and feeling that special force of Olympism. Their cultural differences acted as an incentive to become better acquainted, to learn of one antother's habits and customs, tradition and culture. The special theme of this year's 33rd Session, «The different application of Olympism in the major cultural zones of the planet,» invited participants to consid- er the cultural specificities of other peoples and show understanding for existing differences as a first step towards eradicating prejudice and rejecting discrimina- tion, the key to peaceful coexistence. In this way the IOA becomes for the young a place where they can experience, investigate and study in depth the concept of Olympism, as well as a place of con- structive criticism, exchange of ideas and improvement of their knowledge about the Olympic Movement. Fourteen lectures were presented at this Session by outstanding speakers who introduced young participants to Olympism. The special theme had been devided into three units : 1. Tradition and the Olympic spirit in antiquity. 2. Olympism and cultural diversity as they were envisaged by the founders of the Olympic Movement and as they are expressed today in the major cultural zones of our planet. 3. The intercultural message of the Olympic Games and the evolution of soci ety through Olympism. The 33rd Session was attended by a total of 240 people from 85 countries : 175 participants (94 men and 81 women), 20 discussion group coordinators and 7 of- ficial guests, in addition to the members of the Ephoria and IOA staff. The level of participants was high and the quality of the groups' reports really excellent. This is mainly due to the existence of 65 National Olympic Academies and the good preparation of participants on the Session's special theme. The message that arises from the reports is a need for substantial support to and promotion of the IOC's work as the supreme authority of the sports and Olym- pic Movement. Moreover, the educational aspects of the Olympic Movement which surround the celebration of the winter and summer Games should be more strongly high- lighted. The IOA, with the moral and effective support of the IOC, furthers the primary aims of the international Olympic Movement and the understanding of its funda- mental educational principles. However, the full contribution of the National Olympic Committees and National Olympic Academies is required for the dissem- ination of the principles and values of the Olympic Movement. To that end, the re- 8 ports of young participants in the various activities of the IOA, which are submit- ted to the NOCs and National Olympic Academies, should not simply be filed away but act as an incentive for action at national level. We are aware that the de- gree of influence an individual can have on the spread of Olympic education is very much dependent on his position, as well as the structures which have been set up by his National Olympic Committee for relevant action. It is by now a tradition to include in the prologue to the IOA's annual report, a short account of its main activities. For the first time this year, the IOA organized, from 15th June-30th June, a train- ing seminar for post-graduate students. This seminar was attended by 17 students for its whole 6-week duration and 8 students for a fortnight, coming from 11 differ- ent countries and 4 continents. Professors Dr. Ingomar Weller, Dr. Norbert Muller, Dr. Lamartine Da Costa, Dr. John Hargreaves and visiting professors Dr. Nicos Yalouris, Dr. Yannis Mouratidis and Dr. Georgios Rontoyannis were in charge of the seminar's curriculum. The subjects of scientific research and teaching courses included : 1. The history and philosophy of the ancient Olympic Games. 2. The history of the modern Olympic Games, the Olympic Movement and Olympism. 3. a) Sport. National identity and nationalism. b) Recent theoretical developments and debates in the sociology of sport. 4. Cultural differentiation and Olympism. Participants in the seminar paid for their travelling costs whilst all other expenses were met by the Hellenic Olympic Committee. Students took part in educational trips and guided visits to the archaeological sites of Athens, Isthmus, Nemea, Epidaurus, Mycenae, Mystras, Ancient Olympia and Delphi. This activity will be continued in future because it allows the Academy to spread its activities in the educational field to a new domain of academic studies, without departing from its ultimate cultural goal, i.e. the training of the Olympic Movement's administrators. The long-term aim of the IOA, by giving the opportunity to top post-graduate students to continue their studies in Greece and become initiated into Olympism, is to prepare an outstanding scientific force that will contribute to the scientific con- solidation of Olympism and the support of the international Olympic Movement. From 8th June-13th June, the 7th International Seminar for Sports Journalists was held at the IOA's facilities with the participation of 41 journalists, 40 men and one woman. The UEPS and the IOC, which covers the largest share of the semi- nar's costs, should give greater emphasis to the participation of more women. The level of lectures was high and the following subjects were developed by distin- guished speakers : a) «The phenomenon of the ancient Olympic Games and its in- fluence» by Dr. Thomas Giannakis, b) «The components of the Olympic Move- ment» by Mrs Michele Verdier, c) «Ethics and sports journalists-' by Mr Jacques 9 Marchand, d) «The intercultural message of the Olympic Games of Seoul and Bar- celona» by Mr Andres Merce Varela, e) «The Olympic Games : the future and the mass media» by Dr.

  • 1 the Politics of the Arena
    THE POLITICS OF THE ARENA 1 1 The Politics of the Arena Origin and Growth of Games The great games of the ancient Mediterranean grew out of religious holidays to become spectacular celebrations of the divine pantheon, events that not only called upon divine support to ensure continued prosperity for the state, but also offered an elaborate, formalized series of actions that encouraged, even required, the participation of an expanded human audience. These spectacles tended to follow a standard format of procession, sacrifice, and games. The procession, the first part of the festival, was, practically speaking, a means of conveying the worshipers, the officiants, and their implements of worship to the sacred space of the altar or temple. To enhance the ritual quality of the movement, the procession followed a specific, religiously significant pathway; the personnel were arranged in a specific order; the participants wore particular kinds of clothing, spoke or sang ritual words. These guidelines could involve sacrificial animals in the procession as well, who not only would be draped in wreaths or ribbons, to set them apart from “common” animals, to make them “sacred”, but also were meant to conform to certain kinds of behavior: they had to seem willing to approach the altar, and cult officials who accompanied them made sure of this. The procession was followed by the sacrifice. Sacrifice was the basic act of Graeco-Roman religion, establishing a positive relationship between deity and worshiper through the offering of a gift; this could mean the immolation of an animal, the pouring of a wine or oil libation, or setting cakes or flowers on the god’s altar for his enjoyment.

    The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany Gudrun DOLL-TEPPER, Prof.Dr. （Free University Berlin / German Olympic Sports Confederation） Introduction In 2006, the “German Sports Confederation” （Deutscher Sportbund） and the “National Olympic Committee for Germany” （Nationales Olympisches Komitee für Deutschland） merged, and the “German Olympic Sports Confederation”（Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund/DOSB） became the umbrella sport organisation in Germany. In this paper, the main goals of this merging process, some historical developments, as well as current structures and issues will be discussed with a focus on the relations between the DOSB and disability sport organisations, in particular the “German Disability Sport Organisation”（Deutscher Behindertensportverband）, which also serves as the “National Paralympic Committee Germany ” （Nationales Paralympisches Komitee）. Both organisations are working together in a variety of programmes and projects, e.g. in the preparation of bids to host Olympic and Paralympic Games. “Inclusion” has become a keyword for many initiatives in German sports, particularly regarding the implementation of the “UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities”, which entered into force in March 2009. 1.

  • A Field Guide to Falling Snow
    Basic Snowflake Forms (from SnowCrystals.com) Although no two snowflakes are exactly alike, snow crystal forms usually fall into several broad categories. You can find a more descriptive guide in the book – The Snowflake: Winter’s Secret Beauty. Stellar Dendrites Dendrite means "tree-like", which describes the multi-branched appearance of these snow crystals. Stellar dendrites have six symmetrical main branches and a large number of randomly placed sidebranches. They can also be large, perhaps 5mm in diameter. Although they have complex shapes, each stellar dendrite is a single crystal of ice. The molecular ordering of the water molecules is the same from one side of the crystal to the other. Sectored Plates What identifies these crystals are the numerous ice ridges that seem to divide the plate-like arms into sectors -- hence the name. Like the stellar dendrites, sectored plates are flat, thin slivers of ice that grow into in a stunning diversity of complex shapes. Hollow Columns Plate-like snow crystals get the most attention, but columnar crystals are the main constituents of many snowfalls. The columns are hexagonal, like a wooden pencil, and they often form with conical hollow features in their ends. Needles Columnar crystals can grow so long and thin that they look like ice needles. Sometimes the needles contain thin hollow regions, and sometimes the ends split into additional needle branches. Spatial Dendrites Not all snowflakes form as thin flat plates or slender columns. Spatial dendrites are made from many individual ice crystals jumbled together. Each branch is like one arm of a stellar crystal, but the different branches are oriented randomly.
