  • April 2021 MESSAGE from the EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear Colleagues
    EOC NEWSLETTER No. 211 April 2021 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, With the countdown clock to Tokyo 2020 now at well under 100 days to go, this summer’s Olympic Games are quickly approaching. As the National Olympic Committees of Europe and our athletes put the final touches on preparations, the latest Playbooks from the International Olympic Committee have given us valuable insight into what this special edition of the Olympic Games will be like. They will unquestionably be different from what we have been used to, and it is clear that each Olympic stakeholder will have to exercise a great deal of flexibility and patience to make these a safe and successful Games for everyone involved. But I remain convinced that we will pull it off as long as we remain united in our purpose – to ultimately provide, through sport, a little hope and encouragement to the world after such a trying and tragic period for humanity. Looking slightly further ahead, the European Olympic Committees continues to make real progress with regard to the European Games Krakow-Malopolska 2023. Last week the EOC Coordination Commission for the Games gathered in Antalya, Turkey for meetings with a range of important stakeholders, including potential partners, who will help us deliver the best edition of our continental Games yet. More information will be communicated to you on this subject in due course. Unfortunately, as you will all know, the Vuokatti Winter EYOF was recently postponed to March 2022, but I think everyone will understand that it was the only choice and will provide the local organisers more time to prepare the festival in the best way.

  • DUKLA Bulletin 2009 Eng.Pdf
    Military Sport Centre Editorial The Military Sport Centre DUKLA does not stand only for a tradition of more than forty years of great sport achieve- ments, it is also a brand of international significance and a guarantee of quality and top results into the future. It joins the majority of the best Slovak individual sportsmen and provides the best possible conditions within the whole Slo- vakia. My relationship with DUKLA’s colours and emblem is a very intimate one. I have spent here more than twen- ty years as an active competitor and so I could get closely acquainted with the obvious quality of the most successful Slovak sport club. During my active professional career, I was honoured to wear the state coat of arms on my jersey and I felt always proud, when I could promote the country of the honest, hearty and hardworking people by means Peter Korčok of sport. I highly appreciate the top sportsmen and their world’s achievements, as I appreciate fair-play and also the challenging work of coaches and support teams. Every day, I do see how demanding, responsible but also necessary is the constant care for and support of sport with DUKLA’s emblem. Therefore I highly appreciate and support those who were helping DUKLA in the past and also those who are still contributing to its prosperity and quality of work at every level. We, in the Military Sport Centre DUKLA, will give our best to work in such a way that would make our annual summing-up more successful than the previous one.

II, nr 1, s. 47–63 http://dx.doi.org/10.16926/sit.2019.02.03 Miroslav BOBRÍK * Physical Education and Sport in Slovakia after the Establishment of Czechoslovakia (1918–1924) Abstract Creation of the Czecho-Slovak Republic after the WWI, in 1918, was a milestone also in the development of physical education and sport in Slovakia. New Czecho-Slovak government tried, within the new constitutional conditions, to enforce the Czechoslovak character of the state and to withhold the Hungarian influence in individual towns. Following its multi-national, multi-cultural and multi-confessional history, Slovakia had to get over long-time Hungarian wrongdoing and Hungarization also in the area of sport. Before 1918, the Hungarian and partially also German sport clubs prevailed and any efforts to establish Slovak sport clubs were more platonic than realistic. However, the conditions and circumstances changed and were adapted to the new state layout after 1918. Because of the tense military-political situation at the Czech borders and in Slovakia during 1918–1920, arrival of the Czech and also German sport organizations was postponed until 1921. The Sokol (Falcon) organization started to organize its advertising tours in Slovakia in 1921. Sim- ilarly, the German organizations DTV came to Bratislava in 1921 and to Spiš in 1922. In 1920, the Sokol organization had 93 units with 18 494 members, the RTJ organization had 31 units with 4139 members and the Orol (Eagle) organization had 149 units with 15 772 members.

Abstract Folk sports are the countertype of modern sports: invented traditions, bolstered by tangible ritual and intangible myth, played by the common folk in order to express a romantic ethnic identity. Like other cultural forms, traditional sports and games around the world are becoming marginalized in the face of modernization and globalization. In 2003, UNESCO ratified the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in an attempt to counter such trends of cultural homogenization. As elements of intangible cultural heritage, folk sports now fall under the auspices of UNESCO safeguarding policies.
