  • 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.

    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.

  • A PASSIONATE PLEA to IWF Executive Board and All IWF MEMBER FEDERATIONS to Save OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING
    8th August 2021 A PASSIONATE PLEA to IWF Executive Board and all IWF MEMBER FEDERATIONS to save OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING What we stand to lose if Weightlifting is kicked out of the Olympic Movement!! The Olympic sport of Weightlifting is at a crossroad, with the scrutiny over the proposed constitutional reform which must be to the satisfaction of IOC. The decisions at the upcoming IWF Constitution Reform Congress and all the behind-the-scenes negotiations are going to “make it” or “break it” for the sport. We have taken time to document what we stand to lose, if the right decisions are not made in a timely manner. Below is a high-level summary of the risks associated with losing Weightlifting as an Olympic sport. 1) Profile of the Sport of Weightlifting a. Olympic Sport - Weightlifting will no longer be an Olympic Sport. This means that the sport will not be on the program for Summer Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games. (Where reference is made below to the Olympic games, this covers both of these Games). b. Compulsory sports status at Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games, Pacific Games and various Continental Games – As a consequence of the sport losing its place at the Olympic Games, there is a major potential risk that the sport of weightlifting could be dropped as a compulsory sport for these and other multi-sport games. Weightlifting will lose these important global pathways for athlete development, as these games have acted as important Olympic Qualification events. c. Olympic Broadcast - without major Television broadcast of the sport during the Olympic Games, it will lose its appeal and promotion of the sport globally.
