Portraits Décapants
PORTRAITS DÉCAPANTS Carnet de visites de skieurs(euses) Comme dans les précédents numéros du Sportivore, je vous invite à rencontrer quelques éminentes figures du passé ou du présent qui ont été rebaptisées d’un « petit nom ». Et même s’ils ne sont pas légion, le ski demeurant une activité assez confidentielle, voici les portraits décapants de champion(ne)s qui n’ont pas froid aux yeux. Blitz aus Kitz, L’éclair noir de Kitzbühel (Toni Sailer) 6”2 secondes. C’est la marge monstrueuse avec laquelle cet Autrichien charmeur au bonnet à pompon blanc est devenu champion olympique de slalom géant en 1956. Depuis, on n’a jamais fait mieux. D’ailleurs, ce natif de Kitzbühel, Mecque du ski alpin, est une légende vivante dans son pays. C’est ainsi que, celui qui aurait dû devenir chef d’orchestre dans les rêves de son père, va donner entre 1955 et 1958 un exceptionnel récital sportif, avec notamment un sans- faute en slalom géant, sept titres mondiaux (1956, 1958) et un mémorable triplé olympique (1956). Son fabuleux succès des Jeux de 1956 fit de lui l’idole de la jeunesse autrichienne et un symbole de la renaissance du pays (indépendant l’année précédente). La notoriété du beau Toni se renforça lors de son aventure avec Romy Schneider, jeune actrice de dix-huit ans. Mais à vingt-trois ans, à une époque où l’on ne badinait pas avec l’amateurisme, l’éclair noir de Kitzbühel fut disqualifié pour avoir monnayé une prestation dans un film où il interprétait le rôle… d’un skieur ! Blessé dans son orgueil, il décida de raccrocher et rejoignit les plateaux de cinéma (vingt-deux films) et les studios d’enregistrement (dix-huit albums) avant de revenir en 1972 à ses premiers amours, comme directeur technique de la Fédération autrichienne de ski. -

Public Participation and Information Disclosure for Environmental Sustainability of 2022 Winter Olympics
sustainability Article Public Participation and Information Disclosure for Environmental Sustainability of 2022 Winter Olympics Guizhen He 1,2,*, Gulijiazi Yeerkenbieke 1,2 and Yvette Baninla 1 1 State Key Laboratory of Urban and Regional Ecology, Research Centre for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100085, China; [email protected] (G.Y.); [email protected] (Y.B.) 2 College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100149, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-6284-4160 Received: 28 July 2020; Accepted: 16 September 2020; Published: 18 September 2020 Abstract: As China prepares to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee has committed to making public participation a fundamental part of its broader sustainability objectives. Unfortunately, the existing research on information openness and public participation towards Winter Olympic Games is limited in the perspective of host residents. Therefore, this article aims to understand the information disclosure and public participation, as well as the roles information and technologies (ICTs) play in achieving environmental sustainability. With the help of self-administered questionnaires, data were compiled. The survey was conducted in April 2017 with 650 residents in Beijing and Zhangjiakou via face-to-face interviews to obtain a random and statistically representative sample of host residents. Our findings indicated that only few respondents participated in the limited activities of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The respondents’ views on important issues of public participation varied obviously including the participating level, principles, time, ways, mechanism, and influencing factor. The analysis illustrated over 70% of respondents had the positive attitudes towards ICTs roles and functions in Beijing 2022. -

Proceeding Supplementary Issue: Rio 2016 Olympic Games Third Anniversary Special Edition. Olympic Studies Forum, 2-3 September 2019. Federal University of Sergipe, Aracaju, Brazil Innovation and technology in Olympic Studies Brazilian publications based on Olympic Agenda 2020 ANA MARIA DE FREITAS-MIRAGAYA 1 University of Estácio de Sá, UNESA, Brazil ABSTRACT Innovation refers to the application of ideas that are novel and useful, preceding product or technology in organizations and in management. The objective of this text is to celebrate a panorama of innovation and technology in the Olympic Studies area sharing publications developed in Brazil based on Olympic Agenda 2020, the ultimate Olympic innovation launched in 2014. From the very first steps of the Olympic Movement in France, highlighting the early Brazilian publications in the Olympic Studies area and reaching the second decade of the 21st century, this text unfolds how innovation and technology are applied to books and platforms inspired by Olympic Agenda 2020. The Brazilian production of collective international free e-books in the Olympic Studies area, following Recommendations of Olympic Agenda 2020, started a trend which has had great impact not only on education, but also on the significance of innovation and technology for the development of our civilization.

Information for the Media Olympic Agenda 2020
Information for the Media Olympic Agenda 2020: One Year On Implementation Milestones since 127th IOC Session in Monaco on 8 December 2014 One year to the day after the unanimous approval of Olympic Agenda 2020 by the 127th IOC Session in Monaco on 8 December 2014, the IOC has made significant progress with the implementation of all 40 recommendations. To date, over two-thirds of the 112 expected deliverables for 2015 have been fully delivered. More than 20 per cent are ongoing – some are expected to still be delivered in 2015, the rest in 2016. Outlined below are some of the key, measurable outcomes. Recommendation 1: Shape the bidding process as an invitation Overall changes to the candidature process have already led to substantial positive impacts for the 2024 candidature processes. All the 2024 Candidate Cities have stated that Olympic Agenda 2020 was a decisive factor in mounting a candidature. All have already taken part in an Invitation Workshop and the first phase of the Candidate City 2024 workshops – the first under Olympic Agenda 2020 - that will continue over the next two years. The 2024 Host City Contract (HCC) and related documents were made public at the outset of the applicant phase. The HCC includes clauses with regard to the revised Fundamental Principle 6 of the Olympic Charter, as well as details of the IOC’s financial contribution to the Organising Committees (OCOGs). For the Olympic Games 2024, the IOC will make a financial contribution of USD 1.7 billion to the success of the Games. Recommendation 2: Evaluate bid cities by assessing key opportunities and risks The recommendation was already applied to the evaluation process for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. -
