Under the patronage of the Council of Europe, the IIAC & the FILC TEXT FOR THE SEMINAR The Carhaix-Berrien meeting is not merely a commemorative act, designed to celebrate in a retrospective way the virtues of some traditions. The deeper reasons for such a large gathering here are to do with the concerns which modern-day living cause people. Amongst these concerns, and one which stands out due to its urgency, is the decline of social and community links, which is no mystery. The burning question is : how to revitalise and , these links, and what contribution can traditional games and gatherings offer ? For example, is it necessary to update traditional games just as that we call Olympic games today were updated a century ago ? It is mostly recognised that traditional games, always carried out in a festive atmosphere, offer a symbolic occasion to illustrate the solid and durable nature of social links despite the differences and cleavages between individuals. Whereas it is precisely this dimension of community life which has suffered all the blows in the setting up and organisation of contemporary life. This is also the reason why this question continues to be asked. In this context, to what extent are we able to base our hopes of reactivating these links on this traditional heritage ? Studies of traditional games which have been carried out can help, their conservation value, in a domain where methods and customs, mostly passed on orally, explain the rarity of direct witness accounts, can be interpreted in two ways : quantitatively and qualitatively. On a quantitative basis, one observes a considerable recession in these traditional games and their progressive replacement by activities of a stateless or transnational nature, amongst which modern sport is well represented ; but however there has been a rebirth of similar traditions in certain areas, not only in Brittany, but in the majority of European countries, whether it be Scandinavia, the British Isles, Flanders, the Basque country, Spain, Canaria, the Valley d'Aosta (Italy), etc. couldn't this renaissance be the mark of a reorientation, through the active participation of individuals, in official programmes which had not always allowed for these changes ? On a qualitative basis, on the other hand, these studies illustrate the social role played by these sports emanating from the heart of community traditions, as is to case for Gouren in Brittany. It is therefore necessary to assess in detail the advantages and disadvantages involved in including them in the usual round of sport competitions and demonstrations. One asks oneself if the alternative is not to be found in the "socialisation" aspect linked with the sporting world. 3 There are many who committed themselves because they had heard of and been told about its fraternal and convivial nature. But, they gradually discovered a less attractive reality, became disillusioned as it became obvious and one is daily more and more aware of it, that sport, and everything which revolves around it, is worlds apart from altruistic values: - participants and spectators irrevocably separated, (which is not the case in traditional festivals: in Gouren there was the moment when the heralds "challenge" spectators to participate in a mock demonstration with champions, all in good spirit of course, as elsewhere one invites the onlooker to join in a dance, so no-one feels left out. This "laughter" culture, as some researchers refer to it, is gradually dying out in the world of sport. For example , one does not "try one's hand" against a hard-hitting boxer, nor a hammer thrower who throws incredible distances ; one would look ridiculous; - Above all, sport encourages these anti-values more and more ;(drug-taking, aggression and violence through hooliganism, the cult of the "Golden Calf" with the blessing of "temple merchants", nowadays referred to as sponsors") which feed the continuous process of alienation from oneself, from others, from artificial environments; - without mentioning, finally, the disappointment felt by individuals who have not found within the sporting "community" the socialisation model promised them by the founders as well as the sports instructors and which was supposed to reflect the organisation of modern society. Some people, forced to give up after repeated disappointments, then turned towards what was offered by traditional games, which, with their precarious nature, have remained the prerogative of minority groups. Thus, following the example of minority regional cultures, shouldn't a new attractive be considered ? That is to claim the acceptance of these traditional games no longer in a sports framework (Federation or League ), but in an explicitly cultural one, along the lines of what has been done for the minority languages mentioned above. In this case it could be the setting up of a: European Bureau for Popular Games, Festive Traditions, Minorities and Regions The creation of such a body would soon show that Europe houses a majority of minorities and an exceptional sporting heritage. Such an initiative would at least act as a safeguard for regional identities. As for their festive gatherings, they would no longer have to fear being brought into line with sports. They could on the contrary expect the decision makers to encourage their development by providing local authorities with their own facilities, as has sometimes been the case for example in Flanders, Ireland, Canaria, Valley d'Aosta and Denmark. 0ne could then hope that these new arrangements would, without discrimination, revive co- operation between partners who still don't regard themselves as such. The debates programmed in Carhaix and Berrien will throw light on these questions. In addition, the discussions will be a reflection of the will and determination of participants, the Cumbrians, Aostans, Basques, Bretons, Cornish, Danish, Flemish, Frisians, Welsh, Irish, Icelanders, etc. to demand this recognition. 4 THE NECESSITY OF PRESERVING AND PROMOTING TRADITIONAL SPORTS Prof. Guy Jaouen, Secretary of the International Federation of Celtic Wrestling, President of the Confederation FALSAB (TSG of Brittany) FROM TRADITIONAL TO MODERN SPORTS. When certain traditional sports were classified in the 19th century, it was for educational purposes and especially for the young elite. The economic and social context of Europe was very different to the Europe of today. With the coming of the industrial revolution, came the end of an era. When such games became fully fledged popular sports in the first part of the Twentieth century, the social and cultural situation was again very different. In France at this time for example, the minority peoples attempted to forget their traditions which were for them synonymous with the past and backwardness and thus an impediment on the development of their region. This was even stronger in those regions which had a strong identity and tradition, fuelled by the existence of own language. In this context, the reconstruction of the old Olympic Games is based more and more on a spirit of record breaking and would explain why so many sports at a high level do not contribute to any culture, tradition or stable social structure. I am not talking of any new sports, created for commercial reasons, like skate boarding for example... Today, this urbanised consumer society is suffering from a disease of her own making . SOCIETY IN CRISIS. In this urban society, a large number of young people are experiencing the pain of finding themselves and knowing their roots. Since the economic "boom" of the Sixties, there has been a marked breakdown of the nuclear family, with the loss of established values as a result. This situation is the logical prolongation of an attitude instilled by the "decision makers" of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is now the root cause of such serious problems as drugs, gratuitous violence, individualism leading to selfishness and even racism. Our purpose is not to find those responsible, although we ourselves should take some responsibility, due to our passive acceptance of the situation. THE STATE OF MODERN SPORT. It is obvious today that sporting events are a victim of their own success, partly due to the direction which was taken at the beginning of the century. The example of sport at a high level reveals that it is a victim of "seriousness".

Valued for producing a disciplined subject in peacetime and a fearless fighter in war, these so-called “disciplinary exercises” were promoted in the •first gymnastics club of St. Petersburg from 1863, followed by the Pal’ma Gymnastics Society which quickly spread with branches in five cities. After the Moscow Gymnastics Society opened with meetings on Tsvetnoi Boulevard, in 1874, •Pyotr Lesgaft, the founder of Russian physical education introduced gymnastics into the army with gymnastic courses for army officers and civilians by 1896. Yet, as this paper will reveal, it was only through •Dr. V. F.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.
