Each of the tables provided for the teams were festooned with food, wine, arte- facts, posters and publications associated with their nation. Quite amazing! A stunning moment of the night was when Rosa Mota donated, during an official ceremony, her “Best Ever Woman Marathon Runner” Prize to the Marathon Run Museum.

  • The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women's Athletics
    “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 By Amira Rose Davis A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2016 © 2016 Amira Rose Davis All Rights Reserved Abstract “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 analyzes the ideological and institutional development of amateur and professional sports for black women in the United States before the passage of Title IX and during the Age of Jim Crow. It locates black women’s athletic history between silence and symbol, forgetting and remembrance. In considering the development of black women’s athletics and the symbolic black woman athlete, this project moves to reexamine our understanding of black women’s movement and mobility by considering the work that black women’s athletic bodies did for institution-building and international, national, and local statecraft. By focusing on black women in motion, this dissertation uses middle-class black institutions – like colleges and sports teams – to write a new history of black women’s labor. By tracing the long history of black women’s athletic participation, this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which gendered power dynamics, particularly intra-racial ones, mediated black Americans’ engagement with athletics and physical culture. While highlighting women who used athletics to gain social mobility or assert new notions of modern and respectable black womanhood, this project also examines black institutions, sporting organizations and state apparatuses that routinely used black women’s athletic bodies to advance their respective social, political and financial interests.

KILL IAN Universiade '89, originally scheduled for San Paulo, Brazil, was cancelled when the Brazilian University author­ ities were unable to secure the needed financial support to host the games. The FISU Steering Committee met in Rome, Italy, in late January and formally voted that the games would not be held in Brazil and that interest had been shown by Korea, Morocco and West Germany to step in and host the games. After a short period of turmoil, the games were finally awarded to Duisburg, West Germany. Due to the short time for preparation, it was agreed to host only four sports: athletics (m & f), rowing (m & f), fencing (m & f) and men's basketball. Josef Krings, Lord Mayor of the City of Duisburg, and Dr. Richard R. Klein, Chief Executive of the City of Duisburg, and Chairman of the Organizing Committee, were the two individuals who were charged with the respon­ sibility of organizing the Universiade at such a late date. The Games opened on August 2, 1989, at 5:30 p.m. at Wedan Stadium in Duisburg before a capacity crowd of 35,000. Seventy nine countries appeared in the opening ceremony parade. Over 3,000 athletes and officials were registered to participate in the games. The philatelic items usually associated with games of this stature were meager. A special postmark shown belo'w was the only philatelic item available to the public during the nice day event.
