  • Protecting the Games the International Olympic Committee and Security, 1972-1984
    Protecting the Games The International Olympic Committee and Security, 1972-1984 Austin Duckworth and Thomas M. Hunt * When Palestinian terrorists took eleven Israeli athletes hostage at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, the image of the Olympics as an arena of global harmony shat- tered. The International Olympic Committee (IOC), which posited the view that the Games remained above political squabbles, faced a new, complex issue and had no clear precedent to draw upon. This article examines how IOC policy toward security at the Olympics changed following the initial attack at Munich to the years leading up to the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Drawing upon IOC Meeting Minutes, personal correspondence between IOC members, and media reports, this paper argues that previous interpretations of Olympic security over- state the role of President Juan Antonio Samaranch in altering IOC security policy following his election. This examination emphasizes the role of Indian IOC Mem- ber Ashwini Kumar as the driving force behind a shift in IOC policy towards secu- rity prior to the 1984 Games in Sarajevo and Los Angeles. ❖ Introduction Early on the morning of September 5, 1972, eight members of the Palestinian organization Black September stormed the Olympic Village compound hous- ing members of the Israeli Olympic team. The terrorists took eleven Israelis hostage and after hours of negotiations, a botched rescue attempt by German authorities to save the Israelis resulted in the deaths of all hostages and five of the terrorists. In the ensuing debate over whether to continue the Games, the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Avery Brundage, stood firm.

  • Framing the Soviet Athlete in American Media
    86 — The Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications • Vol. 2, No. 2 • Fall 2011 Framing the Soviet Athlete in American Media Sam Calvert* Print and Online Journalism Elon University Abstract This study looked at how the athletes from the Soviet bloc were portrayed in the U.S. print sports media during the first and last Olympic Games during the Cold War. It looked at one-third of the articles published in the New York Times and the Washington Post during the two Olympics and examined how often the press mentioned the Soviet bloc athletes, how they referenced them, how the coverage of Soviet wins and losses reflected reality and whether the athletes were mentioned within a Cold arW context. The findings showed that while about 50 percent of the articles studied covered Soviet athletes and athletes were depicted as simply athletes, the coverage did not entirely match reality of success of the Soviet bloc athletes. I. Introduction Sports and politics go hand-in-hand, mirroring each other in the ways they show the human character, institutional relations and the ideology behind those relations. By pitting team against team, as politics often does with political parties, countries or sets of allies, it ultimately gives sports a relationship with politics in the most inherent way. The two institutions, sport and politics, are inseparable, and the connection is unavoid- able (Edwards, 1984). This connection can be seen most easily on the international scale with the Olympic Games. Due to the linkage between sports and politics, as well as the basic characteristics of the Olympics, the Games have become a suitable tool for foreign policy (Riggs, Eastman and Golobic, 1993).

Certain events transpire that are so significant, that most people recall exactly where they were and what they were doing when those events happened. This can be said about the 1980 Olympic hockey game between the Soviet Union and the United States. This event, which Al Michaels and many others today refer to as a miracle, is considered to be one of, if not the greatest upset in sports history. Occurring about eleven years prior to the complete fall of the Soviet Union, this victory was more than just a hockey victory, it was a victory for America. This win helped bring back hope into the hearts of the Americans, which they were lacking during the 1970s.

  • List of Olympians and Other Athletes Who Signed The
    Citizens’ Petition for a National Rule to Protect National Forest Roadless Areas Michael Johanns, Secretary US Department of Agriculture 1400 Independence Ave., SW Washington, DC 20250 Dear Secretary Johanns: I strongly oppose the Bush administration’s recent decision to revoke the Roadless Area Conservation Rule and replace it with a burdensome and uncertain state petition process. Protecting the 58.5 million acres of National Forest Roadless Areas is a core responsibility of the U.S. Forest Service to all Americans. It should not be contingent on action by state governors. The Roadless Area Conservation Rule was the product of a massive public involvement process that included more than 600 public meetings and generated more than 1.6 million comments from the American people. More than 95 percent of those comments supported a strong nationwide policy protecting all National Forest Roadless Areas. More Americans supported the Roadless Area Conservation Rule of 2001 than any other federal rule in U.S. history. And more Americans opposed the Bush administration’s rescission of that rule than any other rule revision in history. The American people have loudly, clearly, and in great number expressed their desire that you protect the clean water, undisturbed wildlife habitat, and backcountry recreational opportunities our remaining national forest roadless areas provide. And they have made clear that they do not want more of their taxpayer dollars to go toward roadbuilding in wild areas when there is already almost $10 billion in existing maintenance needed on forest service roads. The Forest Service’s rationale for such a rule is as valid today as it was in 2001.
