The present report contains the papers and conclusions of the 6th Post graduate Seminar on the special theme: "Olympic Mar- keting" and of the Joint Session for Directors of National OLympic Academies and Staff of National Olympic Committees on: "Olym- pic Education programmes in schools. Cooperation between NOAs and NOCs". Once again the Post graduate Seminar was very successful this year. Lectures were given by 9 professors and it was attended by 34 students. Professors I. Weiller, R. Kyle, N. Müller, J. Parry, Ch. Lolas, O. Schantz, R. Heamish, L. Da Costa, F. Landry were in charge of the seminar's work. The 300 hours approximately of the seminar's courses (History, Philosophy, Sociology, Politics, Marketing, Olympic Education, Ethics) gave students comprehensive academic understanding of Olympic questions. Post graduate students presented 34 papers covering all as- pects of the Seminar's special subjects. For the first time, these papers are published integrally in the present report. The scientific level of the papers which students presented at the Seminar was varied for the simple reason that there are dif- ferences in scientific research from country to country. By general admission, however, the post graduate seminar is an activity of high scientific value that promotes the Academy as the leading International Centre of Olympic Studies in the world. The 4th Joint Session for Directors was attended, for the first time, by 54 National Academies, 76 National Committees and one International Federation. 5 The proceedings of this Session were of a high level, with ex- cellent presentations for the most part by the speakers. Professor Nicolaos Yalouris interpreted, in his own unique way, the ideological principles which governed, from a cultural and philosophical point of view, Ancient Elis, the city entrusted with the supervision of the ancient Olympic Games for thousand years. Professor Dr. Norbert Müller, with his knowledge, experience and long involvement in Olympic Education, spoke about the ideals of Olympic Education, as well as the practical aspects of programme implementation. Mrs Helen Brownlee presented Olympic Education programmes and their implementation at practical level. Her paper contained all the information and data that can motivate and inspire edu- cationists to elaborate similar programmes in their respective countries. Dr. Marc Maes and Dr. Anibal Justiniano presented the main activities and the educational programmes that can be organized by a National Olympic Academy. Based on their own national experience, they formulated spe- cific guidelines that would help the work of other Academies. They proposed cooperation schemes, at interstate level or at the level of cultural zones, for the propagation of Olympic Education. Professor Dr. Theophile Touba invoked sport tradition as a source of inspiration and vision for Olympic Education pro- grammes, suggesting that this source of inspiration which en- shrines the principles of fair play, understanding, friendship, co- operation: Citius-Altius-Fortius, should be used in order to enrich Olympic Education programmes. Professor Jim Parry attempted a number of philosophical ex- ercises in order to interpret, in the best possible way, the essence of the Olympic Idea. Professor Dr. Miquel Moragas spoke about the endless possi- bilities which new technologies offer to the Olympic Movement making it possible, in a few years time, to provide direct training to larger numbers of educationists. 6 This report also contains the summary conclusion of the Ses- sion's ten working groups. We should note that the aims and vision of the unforgettable pioneers of the IOA and all the people who have worked for it are becoming reality today. This is confirmed by the fact that the Olympic Education pro- grammes launched on the IOA's initiative are now being promoted by National Olympic Academies throughout the world. The Academy is pursuing its outstanding work tirelessly, trying to respond to the Olympic Movement's high demands.

    Mega-Sporting Events and the Media in Attention Economies National and International Press Coverage of the IAAF World Championships in Helsinki 2005

    10.1515/nor-2017-0155 Nordicom Review 30 (2009) 2, pp. 125-140 Mega-Sporting Events and the Media in Attention Economies National and International Press Coverage of the IAAF World Championships in Helsinki 2005 Mats Nylund Abstract The present article examines the IAAF World Championships as a commercialized mega- sporting event and an expression of the contemporary experience industry. The focus of the empirical analysis is on the national and international press coverage of the World Championships in Helsinki, Finland, 2005. Eleven Finnish and six foreign newspapers were analysed. Finnish pre-Championship publicity saw the games mostly as a tool for achieving international media attention and economic profit. The coverage of the international press was strikingly similar. The newspapers focussed mainly on the sporting events and their perspective was strongly national – perfectly in line with traditional sports journalism. This finding challenges the belief expressed in Finnish newspapers and by proponents of the attention economy that mega-events are powerful tools for urban marketing. Keywords: mega-event, sports journalism, IAAF, attention economy, urban marketing, identity Introduction The IAAF World Championships, held every other year, is the third most widely covered sporting event in the world. Only the Summer Olympics and the FIFA World Cup in football receive more media attention. When the IAAF World Championships were held in Helsinki, August 6-14, 2005, they were described as receiving more press coverage that year than any other sporting event in the world. Today, mega-sporting events mean much more than just sports. Application for the events is usually based on a competition, in which the international sports federations accept bids from cities and other interested local organizers.

    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.
