  • Remembering the Fallen
    Remembering the fallen As the world celebrates the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London, I wonder how many will remember that it is also the 40th anniversary of the Munich Massacre. If this was before your time, at the Munich Games in 1972, Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 members of the Israeli Olympic Team. On September 5, 1972, Palestinian terrorists broke into the Olympic Village. They immediately killed two and nine were taken hostage. Efforts to rescue the hostages failed and they were eventually killed. The Olympic Games are a great time to remember that countries can usually put aside their differences and come together for a few weeks on the world’s grandest stage. And while we all have our favorite athletes and sports, I would like to believe most of us enjoy seeing the world come together, sending its best athletes to compete. But as we talk about the history of the Olympics, most don’t talk about the tragedy of the Munich Games. I know what you’re thinking, “Why should we remember something so sad?” It’s simple. We remember because that’s how we heal. Each time there is a tragedy of large proportions, such as the recent shooting in Aurora, Colorado, the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, etc., we take a moment to remember those who were lost and those still affected by such tragedies. Remembering the fallen of the Munich Games is no different. With that, I would like to thank Rabbi Ruth Abusch-Magder (on Twitter as @RabbiRuth http://twitter.com/RabbiRuth) for bringing this to my attention and calling for a two-minute moment of silence (turn off your TV if you like) during the Opening Ceremonies.

  • Chapter 5 Support
    IOC ACTIVITIES CHAPTER TWO IOC ACTIVITIES THE PRESIDENT’S FIRST FOUR YEARS A GREAT LEGACY Jacques Rogge was elected to the presidency of the IOC in Moscow at the 112th Session on 16 July 2001. He succeeded Juan Antonio Samaranch of Spain, who had been elected IOC President 21 years earlier in the same city. An orthopaedic surgeon by profession and an Olympian representing Belgium at the 1968, 1972 and 1976 Olympic Games, Rogge was elected to the role from five candidates, winning more than 50 per cent of the votes needed in the second round of voting. Rogge became the second Belgian to be named President of the IOC. In 1925, Henri de Baillet-Latour was elected following the retirement of Baron Pierre de Coubertin. In accordance with the reforms implemented by the IOC in December 1999, its president is elected to Left IOC Honorary office for an initial term of eight years. Under these reforms a president’s term of office is renewable only once, President for Life for an additional four years. Juan Antonio The period of 1980 to 2001, the presidency of Juan Antonio Samaranch, was one of unprecedented Samaranch growth and renown for the Olympic Movement. The political difficulties, which had led to boycotts at the 1976, congratulates the 1980 and 1984 Summer Games, were overcome, resulting in record numbers of countries taking part in the new IOC President quadrennial celebrations. Applications to host both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games increased Jacques Rogge at dramatically. Revenue from television rights rose from US$ 101 million for Moscow in 1980 to more than the 112th Session.

  • The Great Disasters Podcast Is Written, Researched and Produced by Kari Fay
    The Munich Olympics Massacre It was meant to be a coming together of nations, in peace, to celebrate sporting excellence. For the athletes attending, it was the pinnacle of their achievements, a moment to be proud of. For some, it held even more meaning. It was the first OIympic Games to be held in Germany since 1936, when it had been under the auspices of the Nazi regime. Now, stepping into the arena, an Israeli team held their flag high. Eleven of them would not return alive. I’m Kari Fay, and this is Great Disasters. The theme of the 1972 Summer Olympics was an optimistic one; the official motto was “Glückliche Spiele” or The Happy Games, and the logo was a bright blue sun. The West German government was keen to present their new democratic Germany well, and the Olympics seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so. In contrast to the militaristic 1936 Games, which were festooned with swastikas and presided over by Hitler himself, these would be bright, open and carefree. Their security personnel would be discreet, and they would subtly deal with drunkenness or ticket fraud, without disrupting the joyous atmosphere. When they were dispatched to deal with a congregation of Maoist supporters in the Olympic Park, they dispersed the crowd by giving them candy. They allowed people to come and go somewhat freely; athletes later reported that it was easy for anybody to walk into the Olympic Village, so long as they were dressed like athletes. The athletes themselves took liberties with security arrangements, often scaling the fences around the village rather than walk the long way around to the gates.

It was included on the programme for the first time at the Games of the XXV Olympiad Barcelona 1992 and at subsequent Games editions until 2008. It did not feature on the programme at London 2012 or Rio 2016, but will make its return for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad Tokyo 2020. Baseball is practised only by men at the Olympic Games. SOFTBALL: Softball was included on the programme for the first time at the Games of the XXVI Olympiad Atlanta 1996 and at subsequent Games editions until 2008. It did not feature on the programme at London 2012 or Rio 2016, but will make its return for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad Tokyo 2020. Softball is practised only by women at the Olympic Games. The two main differences with baseball are the pitching style and the size of the field. The fact that the field is smaller is a particularly significant feature, as it adds to the speed with which the game is played. KEY STAGES BASEBALL Entry 1986: At the 91st IOC Session held in Lausanne in October, the report by the Chairman of the Olympic Programme Commission, recommending that baseball be included on the programme, was approved.
