THE STADIUM ARENA DURING THE OLYMPIC GAMES. GYMNASTICS. THE COMMITTEE FOR GYMNASTICS. t the request of the Swedish Olympic Committee and of the Swedish National Gymnastic and Athletic Asso- ciation, the Swedish Gymnastic Association elected a Committee to arrange for the gymnastic competitions and displays of the Olympic Games of 1912. The Committee of the Association last-mentioned appointed Captain EINAR NERMAN (as president), and GEORG LÖFGREN , Esq., and empowered these gentlemen to add to their numbers as occasion required. This was done; Lieutenant W. CARLBERG being chosen secretary in the autumn of 1910, and other members were appointed, so that, finally, the Gymnastic Committee had the following compo- sition : President: Captain EINAR NERMAN. Secretary: Lieutenant W. CARLBERG, Lieutenant O. HOLMBERG. Other Members: Captain E. LIEBERATH, Captain E. LITTORIN, GEORG LÖFGREN, Esq., E. LÖFVENIUS, Esq. DRAWING UP THE PROGRAMME FOR GYMNASTICS. In the spring of 1910, the Committee sent in its first draft pro- gramme for gymnastics. It included nothing but displays. The Meet- ing of the International Olympic Committee at Luxemburg expressed the desire, however, that gymnastic competitions should be in- cluded, too, and although the Gymnastic Committee considered that inter- national competitions were unsuitable, it determined to agree to the proposals of the International Olympic Committee, and have both competitions and displays on the programme. 504 After a number of alterations — caused by representations made from various quarters — had been made in the earliest proposals, the final programme for gymnastics was drawn up as follows. PROGRAMME FOR GYMNASTICS. The Stadium, Saturday, 6 July—Monday, 15 July, 1912. Max. number of competitors from each nation: in the individual competition 6, in each of the team competitions: I team. I. Team competition with exercises according to the Swedish system. Teams of not less than 16 nor more than 40. Time limit, 45 minutes. II. Team competition with exercises according to any system except the Swedish. Teams of not less than 16 nor more than 40 Time limit, 45 minutes. III. Individual competition with exercises on horizontal bar, parallel bars, rings and pommelled horses. IV. Displays. One team of men and one team of women from each nation. Time limit, 45 minutes. The chief diversity of opinion in the Committee was caused by the method to be adopted for the division of the competitors into groups for the team competitions, and the time to be occupied by each group, and as the fixing of a time-limit of 45 minutes for each team, especially, occasioned much discussion, some account ought to be given here of the development of the question. The Committee for Gymnastics, after consulting the Swedish Olym- pic Committee, originally fixed the limit at 45 minutes. At the Meet- ing of the International Olympic Committee at Buda-Pesth, a proposal was made on the part of Denmark that the time should be extended to one hour, but Colonel Balck (Sweden) informed the Meeting that this was impossible. The Swedish Olympic Committee, during the summer of 1911, asked the Committee for Gymnastics, however, whether it had any objection to the proposed extension of the time. The Committee in question recommended the measure, but then the Swedish Olympic Committe found it could not adopt it. In December, 1911, the Committee for Gymnastics renewed its application for an extension of the time to 60 minutes, but with the same result. For various motives, Germany, among other countries, determined not to take part in the Gymnastic Competitions, one reason given being that the time proposed — 45 minutes — was too short. To do away with this objection, the Swedish Olympic Committe, in the spring of 1912, determined that the time-limit should be extended to one hour for team competitions, but the step did not have the desired result as far as Germany was concerned. 505 GENERAL PREPARATIONS. Apparatus. No suitable premises of sufficient size for the gymnastic competi- tions and displays being available, arrangements had to be made to carry them out in the Stadium. The Committee for Gymnastics, therefore, drew up plans for fixed gymnastic apparatus, so constructed that it could be erected in the Stadium arena. This apparatus was made by E. G. Ekstrand, Gym- nastic Apparatus Maker, Stockholm. Concrete sockets were sunk in the ground, intended to receive the supports. As can be seen by the drawings, there were in this apparatus 20 One side of fixed gymnastic apparatus, with 10 sets of ribb-stalls. “ribbstalls”, which could be used from both sides; 34 vertical ropes, 2 inclined ropes, and 4 double beams. Some of the apparatus needed, but not existing in Sweden — 4 sets of parallel bars; 4 horizontal bars; 4 pommelled horses and a staging with 4 rings — was obtained from Dietrich & Hannach, Chemnitz, but, unfortunately, some of the sections were not properly adjusted, nor were the horizontal bars of the length ordered. The competitors criticized this material in other respects, too, during the course of the Games. In order to give the gymnastic exercises a greater resemblance to those carried out in gymnasiums, a large “floor”, 15 x 25 met., was laid down close to the apparatus. Dressing Rooms. In spite of the Stadium being of great size, and of the best use being made of the space available, there was not a sufficient number of dressing rooms for the gymnasts, so that the Riding School behind the Stadium was taken and made use of for the purpose in question. 506 Detail-drawing, showing method of fixing the ribb-stalls, and the beams and the bands of iron across the beams. Plan of the removable gymnastic apparatus, with one side turned outwards. Gym- nastic apparatus shown: 20 sets ribb-stalls; 4 beams, with double beams and can- als for d:o; 2 single inclined ropes with guide ropes: 26 vertical ropes. 507 Detail-drawing of iron sockets sunk in arena, and of the posts, for fixed gymnastic apparatus, which are let down into these sockets, together with wooden wedges for wedging fast the posts after insertion. Plan, showing the beams, and the iron-bands across them for fixing the ribb-stalls. 508 Detail-drawing showing method of fastening together the top beams.

During the Games, the Offices of the Gymnastic Competitions were on the 5th floor in the east tower of the Stadium. At this place information was supplied, meetings were held, and results were cal- culated. THE COMPETITIONS AND DISPLAYS. Meetings of the Judges. In order to obtain uniformity in the judging, and to avoid disputes between the judges, during or after the competitions, the said officials in the various groups were called to meetings at different 510 times by the chief leader, who then informed the judges in question of their duties, gave them copies of the programme of the competi- tions, showed them the protocol-forms, etc. This having been done, the judges had private deliberations concerning their work.

  • Stoccolma 1912 “Dal Nostro Inviato Alla V Olimpiade Internazionale” Di Aldo Boiti
    © www.sportolimpico.it / Storie e Storia Stoccolma 1912 “Dal nostro inviato alla V Olimpiade Internazionale” di Aldo Boiti Una relazione di prima mano (gfc) Il giornalista triestino Aldo Boiti [1874-1947], membro della Commissione Tecnica della Federazione Ginnastica Nazionale Italiana, seguì la squadra olimpica italiana a Stoccolma stendendo una accurata relazione sul viaggio e sulle gare della “V Olimpiade Internazionale”, con puntuali osservazioni su diversi aspetti collaterali. Si è ritenuto utile riprodurre integralmente il suo lungo scritto che, redatto a pochi giorni dalla conclusione dei Giochi, offre una testimonianza dal vivo del clima organizzativo e dell’ambiente agonistico che gli atleti italiani trovarono in Svezia, in quella che era la loro seconda partecipazione corale alle Olimpiadi. Salvo alcune comprensibili imprecisioni nella trascrizione di nomi stranieri, sorprendono ancora oggi l’attenzione e la curiosità che traspaiono dalla relazione (si vedano al riguardo i dettagli sul cronometraggio “semiautomatico”). Il testo venne pubblicata sul n. 9 [Settembre 1912] del bollettino federale Il Ginnasta. Aldo Boiti, patriota, ginnasta e istruttore, atleta eclettico come usava ai suoi tempi, praticò anche canottaggio e sollevamento pesi. Si adoperò come giurato in cinque edizioni dei Giochi Olimpici. Passato al giornalismo, scrisse per quasi mezzo secolo sulle pagine del quotidino Il Piccolo. Per un miglior inquadramento storico, si tenga conto che all’epoca Trieste faceva ancora parte dell’Impero asburgico (del quale costituiva il principale sbocco sull’Adriatico) e che proprio in quei mesi si concludeva il conflitto italo-turco per il possesso della Libia e delle isole dell’Egeo. 1.

  • Italy and Olympism
    Italy and Olympism “I wanted Rome because there alone, back from its tour of utilitarian America, Olympism would don the splendid robe, woven with art and thought, with which I had wanted to adorn it from the outset.” Pierre de Coubertin, Mémoires Olympiques “May the Olympic Games—this is my most sincere wish—strengthen hope and faith in a higher destiny of man. May the young athletes, returning to their homes, beyond the Alps and seas, remember their Roman visit when they felt united over and above all personal ambition, all difference of language, race and opinion; and may these young people declare that peaceful co-existence is possible and necessary between nations, in the name of humanity, freedom and civilisation.” Giovanni Gronchi, President of the Italian Republic, 1960 ITALY COMITATO OLIMPICO NAZIONALE ITALIANO (CONI) 301,200 square kilometres.

Le Olimpiadi di Parigi si chiusero il 28 ottobre 1900. Dopo sei mesi dalla loro apertura,la Francia vinse il medagliere sugli Stati Uniti. Non ci sono state cerimonie di apertura e di chiusura. MEDAGLIE ORO= 29 ARGENTO=41 BRONZO=32 TOTALE=102 Le olimpiadi a Parigi del 1900 furono un fiasco totale. De Coubertin voleva che le olimpiadi mantenessero un carattere di internazionalità e di ellenismo, ma non aveva l’appoggio delle autorità Francesi che, infatti, gli andarono contro. Fu consentito di gareggiare ai professionisti. Furono scelte modalità organizzative che scoraggiarono i Francesi. Parigi 1900 = Integrazione delle donne nei giochi olimpici internazionali.
