Apart from a string of Australian classics, and a plethora of high-grade predecimal coins, Sale 331 is most notable for the presence of the majority of the banknote inventory of the late Peter Hill. As I am sure you will know, Peter was an invaluable member of the Australian numismatic community. A long-term ANDA member, and a man with a passion for world banknotes, Peter’s banknote holding was as diverse as it was immense. Comprising notes dating as far back as the 1890s, this important accumulation is also highlighted by the latest polymer and paper issues. With the market suffering a severe shortage of high- quality international banknotes in recent years, the appearance of Peter’s inventory will be welcomed by all collectors. Although headlined by this key banknote aggregation, Sale 331 is also defined by the diversity for which Downies’ auctions are well known. Highlighted by a 1930 Penny aVF, an Austro-Hungarian Empire Joseph I Shooting Gold Medal and a 1966 $10 Coombs/Wilson First Prefix Star Note, the auction also encompasses a stunning array of high-grade predecimal coins, as well as medals, RAM Proof and Mint Sets and a plethora of World Coins. I hope you enjoy Sale 331, and enjoy our new Live Auction Platform that proved such a hit in Sale 330. I would also like to remind you that, although preparations are well underway for Sale 332, commencing 20 August, it’s not too late to be part of the action. If you have material you would like to submit, please contact us on (03) 8677 8800. Enjoy your collecting!

    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.
