The Netherlands initially did better in the IOC membership competition, too. Baron Fritz van Tuijll van Serooskerken was the first IOC representative from the Low Countries, though he was not a member right from the start; this Dutch nobleman joined the International Olympic Committee in 1898, two years after its formation, to become the first Dutch IOC member. Baron Van Tuijll is still a great name in Dutch sporting history; in 1912 he founded a Dutch branch of the Olympic Movement and became its first president. However, it was not long before Belgium caught up. There were no Belgians among the 13 men – even today, women members are still few and far between – who made up the first International Olympic Committee in 1894, but thanks to the efforts of Count Henri de Baillet-Latour, who joined the IOC in 1903, the Olympic Movement became the key international point of reference for sport in the Catholic south. The Belgian Olympic Committee was formed three years later – a year af- ter Belgium, thanks to the efforts of King Leopold II, had played host to the prestigious Olympic Congress.

  • Economics and Olympics: an Efficiency Analysis
    Institute for Empirical Research in Economics University of Zurich Working Paper Series ISSN 1424-0459 Working Paper No. 313 Economics and Olympics: An Efficiency Analysis Alexander Rathke and Ulrich Woitek January 2007 Economics and Olympics: An Efficiency Analysis ∗ Alexander Rathke† and Ulrich Woitek‡ Institute for Empirical Research in Economics, University of Z¨urich January 2007 Abstract Applying stochastic frontier analysis, we estimate the importance of sports in society as technical efficiency of countries in the production of Olympic success since the 1950s. Our measures of success are medal shares and a broader concept including Olympic diplomas. Following Bernard and Busse (2004), population and GDP are used as inputs. While the impact of GDP is always positive, we show that the sign of the population effect depends on wealth and population size of a country. The results show that the spread of importance is very wide over time, across countries, gender, and sports. These differences can be seen as caused by differences in financial support, training methods, organization, or culture. Using the method proposed by Battese and Coelli (1995), we confirm the result well documented in the literature that planned economies and host countries are more successful than others in terms of Olympic suc- cess (e.g. Bernard and Busse, 2004). The method allows to shed light on important aspects of recent sport history, such as the consequences of the breakdown of the former Soviet Union. Keywords: Olympic Games, Efficiency Analysis, Stochastic Frontier JEL: J8, O47 ∗We are grateful to Helmut Dietl, Wolfgang K¨ohler, Jim Malley, Rainer Winkelmann, con- ference participants at the EWEPA VIII, Brussels 2005, and seminar participants at the HUI Seminar 2006 for helpful comments and suggestions.

  • The Nordic Games and the Olympic Platform As Arena for the Dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union
    The Nordic Games and the Olympic platform as arena for the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union Sebastian Kühn Innland Norway University of Applied Sciences and Norwegian Olympic Museum [email protected] Abstract Throughout their existence since 1896, the modern Olympic Games have seen quite a number of political conflicts and boycotts. They have been an arena for diplomatic controversies between sovereign countries and even internally within state structures. Still today, the political map in some cases does not correspond with the Olympic world map. In this regard, also the historical case of Norway and Sweden is an interesting one. Formally, both countries had been in a personal union under the Swedish crown since 1815. Nonetheless, Norway participated in the Olympic Games in Paris 1900 in its own right, due to the huge degree of Norwegian self-governance within the union and the subsequent development of its own sports system. This article examines the role of sport for the Norwegian nation building process and the impact of the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union onto the Nordic Games and Norway’s early involvement in the Olympic Movement. Being the most important predecessor for the Olympic Winter Games, the Nordic Games are of particular interest also for Olympic history. Keywords Norway, Nordic Games, Olympic Games, Nationalism, Boycott, Fridtjof Nansen Kühn, S. (2019).

Retrieved from http:// diagorasjournal.com/index.php/diagoras/article/view/66 94 Introduction At the end of the 19th century, in a climate of social changes and political turmoil in the union with Sweden, new political structures and especially an emerging liberal movement, resulted in a growing sentiment of Norwegian nationality.

  • Spanish Women Athletes' Performance in the Summer Olympic Games History
    Original Article Spanish women athletes’ performance in the Summer Olympic Games history JOSUÉ GONZÁLEZ-RUIZ1 , PEDRO GÓMEZ-PÍRIZ2, ESTHER PUGA-GONZÁLEZ3, DAVID CABELLO- MANRIQUE1 1Physical Education and Sport Department, Faculty of Sport Science, University of Granada, Spain 2Human Motricity and Sports Performance Department, Faculty of Education, University of Sevilla, Spain 3Faculty of Humanities and Science Education, University of Jaen, Spain ABSTRACT In this study, an analysis was made of the qualitative and quantitative evolution of the participation and results obtained by the Spanish athletes throughout the Olympic Games, for which their records were compared to those of the men's team from Paris 1900 to Rio 2016. During the study, the growing weight of Spanish women athletes was analysed, resulting in the Women and Sport programme (2007), which seems to have been a determining factor in the improvement of the performance of Spanish women athletes, which surpassed that of the men's team in the last two editions, for the first time in history and in a consecutive manner. The data revealed a growing weight of women, with a historical representation much lower in the Olympic Games (less than 14% until Barcelona 1992) and significantly lower than men from the same (beginning to be more than 30%). This progression has been accompanied by a greater value in the variable weight of the medals, this fact was accentuated in the last editions of London 2012 (65%) and Rio de Janeiro 2016 (60%). It is clear from the results that there is plenty of room for improvement in women's sport. Empowering Spanish female athletes, increasing social and economic recognition, and identifying which are the differential factors that make them more efficient with respect to the male team, can optimize strategies and results in the third sector of sport in Spain.
