Besides its nature, history and gastronomy, Portugal, whose citizens are its greatest value, is also known for its sunny weather, beaches, and historical and world heritage sites. Sport is quite important in Portuguese culture and Football, is undoubtedly the most valued and played one. Portugal has won several Olympic medals in its history, being Canoe Sprint, Judo, Athletics, Triathlon and Sailing the most successful sports. EUG2018 GENERAL HANDBOOK 25 ABOUT COIMBRA The city of students is unique in Portugal for all the mysticism which characterizes it and for its University, which has recently been recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Surrounded by love tales and great historic achievements, Coimbra has some peculiar customs and traditions that other Portuguese cities have been imitating over the years. Those who come to Coimbra to study have completely different experiences from the ones students of other university cities have. A student who graduates in Coimbra acquires much more than only the knowledge from the subjects at the University; this learning comes from living and experiencing the Coimbra Academic Association (AAC). Coimbra is a rather small town of about 143,000 inhabitants. It is very welcoming and it remains young thanks to the academic spirit of the students who come here every year. EUG2018 GENERAL HANDBOOK 27 Coimbra has a rich tradition in University sports with AAC, one of the most important students association of the country, that makes a remarkable work on that matter.

Efervescência Estudantil Resumo O movimento estudantil, um dos mais activos contra o Estado Novo nas suas últimas décadas, intensificou-se a partir de 1956, quando os estudantes conseguiram bloquear a tentativa do Governo de pôr as associações académicas sob o seu controlo. Isso coincidiu com uma conjuntura internacional que provocou profundas consequências na política contenciosa. O XXº Congresso do PCUS, com as consequentes crises nos países satélites da União Soviética e com a eclosão do conflito com a China, e o Civil Rights Movements nos Estados Unidos, foram os elementos mais salientes. A nível interno, os seus efeitos foram amplificados pela campanha eleitoral do General Humberto Delgado em 1958 e pelo início da guerra colonial em 1961. Estes factores contribuíram para a emergência em Portugal de um amplo ciclo de protesto, que concorreu para a politização do sector estudantil e na sua fase final, caracterizada por uma forte repressão, para a radicalização da oposição política, com o aparecimento das primeiras formações maoístas.

  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.

  • 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.

  • A Práxis Do Trote: Breve Etnografia Histórica Dos Rituais Estudantis De Coimbra*
    http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/2238-38752017v725 1 Universidade de Coimbra, Faculdade de Economia, Coimbra, Portugal [email protected] Elísio Estanque I A prÁxis do trote: breve etnogrAfiA históricA dos rituAis estudAntis de coimbrA* Este texto foi escrito originalmente em português de Portugal, onde a noção de trote tem a designação de praxe. A praxe é uma práxis que pode ser en- tendida em sentido amplo ou mais restrito. O Código que regula a praxe em Coimbra (com 290 artigos)1 define-a simplesmente como “o conjunto de usos e costumes tradicionalmente existentes entre os estudantes”. Numa linha que vai ao encontro da ideia de “ritual iniciático”, do antropólogo Van Gennep (1981), o historiador Paulo Archer de Carvalho, definiu as praxes como “a sobrevivência simbólica de rituais de passagem, de presentificação e de he- terorreconhecimento, balizadas por gestos que tentam assinalar a desbestia- lização do aprendiz e a sacralização do ofício intelectual, partindo do prin- 458, agosto, 2017 agosto, 458, – cípio – consagrado na própria nomenclatura (o burro, a cabra, o chocalho, a “magna besta”, etc.) – de que o ser humano é à nascença uma besta” (Assem- bleia da República, 2008). Tais rituais, por vezes considerados mecanismos de integração, visam “testar” ou “pôr à prova” o “novato”, o “recruta”, aquele que acaba de chegar a uma nova condição ou comunidade e que a ela deve submeter-se. Ao contrário do caso brasileiro, essas práticas (trote/praxe) são, ainda hoje, um verdadeiro fenômeno de massas nas universidades portuguesas. Segundo estudo internacional recente,2 cerca de 73% dos jovens universitários portugueses afirmaram ter sofrido alguma praxe mais pesada quando entra- ram na universidade (enquanto a média dos países estudados era de 25%), sociol.

    sustainability Article Olympic Infrastructure—Global Problems of Local Communities on the Example of Rio 2016, PyeongChang 2018, and Krakow 2023 Bartosz Dendura Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology, 31-155 Kraków, Poland; [email protected]; Tel.: +48-12-374-2443 Received: 31 October 2019; Accepted: 18 December 2019; Published: 23 December 2019 Abstract: Every potential Olympic Games organiser assumers that the games they organise will be special, that they will help to set new, high standards both in the organisation of sports events themselves, as well as in the planning and carrying out of projects accompanying the games. Since the document entitled Agenda 21 was approved by the UN at the Earth Summit in 1992, environmental protection has become the mainstay of the discussion among the Olympic family, and the problem of sustainable planning has become one of the main features of published reports. The conclusion of the conference coincided with the Lillehammer Winter Olympics of 1994, which were praised as the first green games to be held, under the motto “White Green Games”. Four years prior, in Nagano, its organisers advertised the games with the slogan “Coexistence with nature”. London 2012, with its motto “Inspire a Generation”, highlighted the educational aspect of the events and the words “environment” and “sustainability” were on the lips of everyone everywhere in the context of every activity the organisers were undertaking. During Rio 2016, the motto was “Green Games for Blue Planet”. The goal of the article is to investigate whether these mottoes have been actually reflected in the measures taken by authorities and encompassing the period between proclaiming them as Games organisers, during the sports event itself, and during the post-Games period.

  • The Participation of Small States at the Summer Olympic Games
    ISLANDS AND SMALL STATES INSTITUTE UNIVERSITY OF MALTA, MSIDA, MALTA OCCASIONAL PAPERS ON ISLANDS AND SMALL STATES ISSN 1024-6282 Number: 2021/01 THE PARTICIPATION OF SMALL STATES AT THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES Kevin Joseph Azzopardi More information about the series of occasional paper can be obtained from the Islands and Small States Institute, University of Malta. Tel: 356-21344879, email: [email protected]. THE PARTICIPATION OF SMALL STATES AT THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES Kevin Joseph Azzopardi * 1. Introduction Despite having gone through a marathon 18 days full of events against all odds due to the pandemic, the glamour of the Summer Olympic Games lived on as the entire world got together in a true show of force and unity with athletes battling it out to the least shot, millimetre and point to return back home as Olympic heroes. The starting lists and medals’ table have, as in previous editions, served as an ideal platform for the traditional powerhouses in world sport to further demonstrate their dominance with a few surprises making the headlines from time to time. Ever since the inaugural edition of the Games for the Small States of Europe (GSSE) held in 1985 in San Marino, this biannual event became a benchmark for the participating countries to gauge their progress against other similar countries whose population is less than 1 million inhabitants. As per Table 1, if the same model were to be applied across the globe at Olympic level, 48 countries would fit in the bill for such a comparative exercise with Cyprus’ population, one of the founding members of the GSSE, now increasing to 1.2 million.
