FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES 1 The aims of the Olympic movement are: — to promote the development of those physical and moral qualities which are the basis of sport, — to educate young people through sport in a sjiirit of better under­ standing l)etween each other and of friendship, thereby helping to build a better and more peaceful world, — to spread the Olympic principles throughout the world, thereby creating international goodwill, — to bring together the athletes of the world in the great four-yearly sport festival, the Olympic Games. Z The Olymjiic Games consist of the Games of the Olympiad and the 01yni|)ic Winter Games. In this Charter, the expression "Games" means the Games of the Olympiad, and the ex|)ression "Winter Games" means the 01ym[)ic Winter Games. riie expression "Olympiad" means a jx-riod of foin- successive years which follows the Games. The first Olympiad of modern times was celebrated in Athens in 1896, and subsequent Olympiads and (iames are numbered consecutive­ ly from that year, even though it has been impossible to hold the Games in every Olympiad. 3 The Olympic Games take place every four Ncars. They unite Olym­ pic competitors of all coimtries in fair and ecpial competition.' The International 01yni])ic (Committee (lOG) shall secure the widest possible audience (or the Olympic (James. No discrimination in them is allowed against any country or person on grounds of race, religion or ])olitics. 4 I'lie lOG governs the Olympic movement and owns the rights over the 01ym|)ic Games. Its constitution and powers are set out in the ])resent Rules and bye-laws. Every person or organisation that plays any ])art whatsoever in the Olympic movement shall accept the supreme authority of the IOC; and shall be bound by its Rules and sui)mit to its jurisdiction. The honour of holding the 01ym])ic Gaines is entrusted to a city. The choice of any city shall lie solely with the lOC.^ ' Sec Rule 34 for llic duralioii nfllu- (James. 2 See Rule ,36. Application to hold the Olympic Games shall hv made by the official authority of" the city concerned with the approval of the National Olym­ pic Committee (NOC) which must guarantee that the Games shall be organised to the satisfaction of and in accordance with the rer]uirements of the IOC. I'lieNOCland the city chosen shall be jointly and se\eially responsible for all commitments entered into and shall assume complete financial r('sponsii)ility for the organisation of the 01ym|)ic Ciames.' 5 A separate cycle of Winter Games is held, comprising competitions in winter sports. They are held in the same calendar year as the Games of the Olympiad. The first Winter Games were held in 1924 during the Vlllth Olyin- piad. Starting from this date thev are numbered in rotation as they are held. The term Olympiad is not used in comiection with the Winter Games. 6 Olympic flag and symbol, motto and emblem ^ The Olympic Hag, the Olympic symbol and the Olympic motto are the exclusive pro]3erty of the IOC. The Olympic flag has a plain white background, with no l)order to it. In the centre of the flag are five interlaced rings (hereinafter called "the Olymjiic rings") blue, yellow, black, green and red arranged in that order from left to right, the blue coloured ring being placed high u|) on the left hand side of the flag nearest the flagpole. The flag presented by Banjii de (Joubertin at the Congress of Paris in 1914 is the regulation model. The 01yni]3ic symbol consists of the Olympic rings alone, whether delineated in a single colour or in different colours. The Olympic /Zfl^' and symbol symbolise the union of the fi\e con­ tinents and the meeting of athletes from all o\er the world at the Olym­ pic Games in a spirit of fair and frank competition and good friendship, the ideal preached by Baron de Coubertin. The Olympic motto "Citius, Altius, fortius" expresses the aspirations of the Olympic movement. An Olyinpic emblem is the combination of the Olympic rings with another distinctive sign. 1 Sec cicfiiiilioti ol' (lie Orgunisiiifi; (lomniillcc of llic OKiupic (iamcs (OCK)G) in Rufc .^7 MIKI coniposilioii in the (liaplcr: "(londitimis faid clown lor cancliclalc cilic-s". 2 Sc-c- also Rule 5.^ for llu- I'jnblcin ol'llu- (lames and l)\(-la\v page .'^6.

  • Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes
    Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes Sevket Akyildiz Introduction Uzbekistan was officially established in 1924 by the victorious Bolsheviks as part of a larger union-wide „Soviet people‟ building project. To legitimate and consolidate Moscow‟s rule the southern, largely Muslim, Asian territories (including Uzbekistan) were reorganized under the national delimitation processes of the 1920s and 1930s. Establishing the Soviet republics from the territory formerly known as Turkestan was based upon language, economics, history, culture and ethnicity. Soviet identity building was a dual process fostering state-civic institutions and identity and local national (ethnic) republic identity and interests. The creation of the national republics was part of the Soviet policy of multiculturalism best described a mixed-salad model (and is similar to the British multicultural society model). (Soviet ethnographers termed ethnicity as nationality.) Uzbekistan is situated within Central Asia, a region that the Russians term “Middle Asia and Kazakhstan” – some Western authors also term it “Inner Asia”. Uzbekistan stretches south-east from the Aral Sea towards the Pamir Mountains, and shares borders with Afghanistan (137km), Kazakhstan (2,203km), Kyrgyzstan (1,099km), Tajikistan (1,161km), and Turkmenistan (1,161km). The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. The Uzbeks are a Turkic-speaking people largely Turkic (and Mongol) by descent - and predominately Sunni (Hanafi) Muslim by religious practice. Between 1917 and 1985 the population of Uzbekistan rose from approximately 5 million to 18 million people. However, Uzbekistan was a Soviet multicultural society, and during the Soviet period it contained more than 1.5 million Russian settlers and also included Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Tajik, Tatars, and several of Stalin‟s deported peoples.

Abstract and Keywords Set within the context under which ethnic-Turks suffered seriously amidst rising communism in post World War II Eastern Europe, this thesis examines the socio- political-cultural circumstances surrounding the life and sporting career of Olympic weightlifter Naim Suleymanoglu, a Bulgarian-born Muslim of Turkish descent. This thesis examines several phases of Suleymanoglu’s life, much of which was devoted to aiding and abetting a mass exodus of Muslim ethnic-Turkish community members from Bulgaria to Turkey, the pursuit of Olympic achievement, and service to the enhancement of the sport of weightlifting in Turkey. By utilizing sports platforms and his remarkable success in weightlifting, widely reported by world media, Suleymanoglu’s life, in the end, translated to a new dimension surrounding the identification of Turkey in the sporting world, one in which weightlifting rivalled time-honoured wrestling as Turkey’s national sport.

  • Economic Model Shows Usa First, Britain Fourth in 2012 London Olympic Games
    For Immediate Release Contact: Leslie Weddell (719) 389-6038 [email protected] ECONOMIC MODEL SHOWS USA FIRST, BRITAIN FOURTH IN 2012 LONDON OLYMPIC GAMES Economist’s formula has 93 percent accuracy rate COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – March 12, 2012, tables revised July 17, 2012 –A Colorado College economist who has predicted Olympic medals with a 93 percent accuracy rate over six consecutive Olympic Games has made his predictions for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. He uses a model that, surprisingly, does not include athletic ability as one of its factors. Daniel K.N. Johnson, a professor of economics at Colorado College, predicts that the U.S. will top the podium most often, followed by China, second, and Russia, third, with the host country, Great Britain, placing fourth. Johnson’s model of Olympic success has shown uncanny accuracy time and again. He first constructed the model with an undergraduate student co-author before the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia. Since then, the model has proven itself over six consecutive Olympics, averaging a correlation of 93 percent with actual medal counts, and 85 percent for gold medals specifically. This year, Johnson re-calibrated the model, with the assistance of another undergraduate student, Rafael Alonso-Arenas. It now matches 60 years of historical data with a correlation of 96 percent for all medals, and 95 percent for gold medals. Surprisingly, Johnson’s model uses only non-athletic data to make forecasts--- per capita income, population and the advantage of hosting the Games (or of living nearby). In the past, the formula also included political structure and climate, but the team discarded those characteristics this year in favor of two different attributes— a host nation advantage that pre-dates and post-dates the Games actually hosted, and a “cultural specific factor” that helps to correct the model’s historical under-predictions for nations like Australia and China.

  • Brazil Anti-Corruption Chapter 1
    Chapter 1 When the Games Transcend the Games: Globalization, Corruption, and the New Olympic Legacy Executive Summary The founding purpose of the modern Olympic Games was not to see who could run or swim the fastest. From their origins in 1896, the Games were to serve a broader social and political goal: teaching individuals and nations how to unite in competition and to play by the rules, in the hopes of bringing to pass a fairer and less conflictual world order. The historical periods of the World Wars and the Cold War would both challenge and ultimately affirm this purpose. But the founding ideals of the modern Olympics find fullest vindication in this, the third era of modern Olympic history: Globalization. As the world grows increasingly integrated through economic competition, issues of fairness – of leveling the so-called playing field – have become paramount. And a key feature of Globalization has been a focus on curbing official corruption – the aptly named “Corruption Eruption” that began in the 1990s and continues to this day. So too has this period produced an enduring concern with limiting corruption related to the Olympic Games. The issue of Olympic corruption would burst onto the scene in 1996 with the Salt Lake City bid scandal, and lead to substantial reforms within the International Olympic Committee. This book calls attention to another dimension of corruption – official corruption within the host city and country. In so doing, we redefine the concept of a host-country’s “Olympic legacy” to include much more than the economic benefit of infrastructure investment.
