Twenty-Seventh Session 1St-16Th July 1987 INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC ACADEMY TWENTY-SEVENTH SESSION lst-16th JULY 1987 Published by the International Olympic Committee and the Hellenic Olympic Committee in collaboration with Dr. Otto Szymiczek, Dean of the International Olympic Academy INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC ACADEMY REPORT OF THE TWENTY-SEVENTH SESSION lst-16th JULY 1987 ANCIENT OLYMPIA IOC COMMISSION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC ACADEMY President Mr. Nikos FILARETOS IOC Member in Greece Members Mrs. Flor ISAVA FONSECA IOC Member in Venezuela Mr. Roberto G.

It should be pointed out, right from the start, that this past year has been a year of varied and constructive activities for the IOA, including a series of international meetings as well as visits of representatives from Greek and foreign universities and other organisations. A sad event that cast its shadow on the IOA's activities during 1987 was the absence of Nikos Nissiotis who had been the President of the IOA for 11 years. His unexpected death has affected everyone because Professor Nissiotis, a respected figure among scientific circles, was loved by all the members of the Olympic family. All participants at this year's sessions honoured the memory of Nikos Nissiotis and deplored his untimely loss. The Olympic Movement, however, is an ongoing process and the IOA, its international spiritual centre, cannot suspend its efforts for the teaching and propagation of Olympic Ideology. It therefore went on with its manifold activities, while trying to fill the gap created by the death of Professor Nissiotis whose memory will be with us forever. The new President of the IOA is Mr. Nikos Filaretos, IOC and HOC member, a prominent figure in banking, with an active contribution to the Olympic Idea as a member of the HOC. We are very proud of the fact that the IOA's facilities this year were more beautiful than ever, enhanced as they were by the luxuriant vegetation of the area and the carefully tended trees, flowers and hedges on its grounds. Foreign visitors who came to the IOA for the first time were impressed because this was perhaps their first contact with the true Olympic nature, in direct communion with God and its mystic grandeur ; our old friends, on the other hand, never failed to express their sincere admiration for the incom- parable beauty of this truly Olympic landscape. Perhaps this is the reason why, although the IOA welcomed a large number of officials, visitors, guests and participants, the atmosphere was always warm and friendly, with everybody feeling really at home. We believe that the Olympic landscape, the ancient sacred sites, the marble ruins with their century-old history, all promote sentiments of friendship, fraterni- sation and peace and make the IOA a place unique in the world where the Olympic Idea can develop and flourish. The IOA can pursue its significant work for the promotion of Olympism thanks to the patronage and moral support of the IOC, the recognition of Greek sporting authorities, the financial and many-sided assistance of the 9 HOC, the Olympic Solidarity grants to foreign NOCs and finally thanks to the dedicated and tireless efforts of its associates, lecturers and staff. This year, thanks to the special aid from Olympic Solidarity, a very large number of participants from 49 countries came to the 27th Session. The opening ceremony on the Pnyx, a very grand occasion, was held in the presence of the Minister of Culture and Science, Mrs. Melina Mercouri, who delivered a special address, the President of the IOC, Mr. Juan Antonio Samaranch, who was the main speaker, numerous Greek and foreign offi- cials, ambassadors, etc. as well as ten IOC members. Special mention should be made of the significant contribution of the lecturers at the IOA's Session. This year too, the old, veteran lecturers, filled with Olympic enthusiasm, and the new-comers who lectured at Olympia for the first time, all presented their subjects in a comprehensive manner. They willingly answered questions and took an active part in the working groups, with useful advice and information, helping young participants who had no previous experience of such work. The overall organisation and running of the working groups during the Sessions was supervised by Professor John Powell (CAN) and Mrs. Nadia Lekarska (BUL), both old and dear friends of the IOA. This year we were able to discuss many of the controversial issues of Olympism, since each working group at the 27th Session had been given a separate subject to study and discuss. I decided to try this new approach and the lecturers gladly adopted it. It turned out that in this way each subject could be considered without any rush, with sufficient time to allow all participants to take part in the discussion and that the final conclusions were thus enriched by the contribution of the seven groups. Lecturers and participants at the 27th Session were very pleased because, for the first time, the IOA had invited the ten IOC members who agreed to answer questions from the floor. In this way a warm contact could be established among the young participants and IOC members, while the national representatives were able to obtain information on matters related to their NOCs. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Raymond Gafner, Administrateur délégué of the IOC. The following IOC members were present and spoke at this interesting meeting: H. E. Major General Olufemi Adefope (NIG), Mrs. Flor Isava Fonseca (VEN), Mr. Wlodzimierz Reczek (POL), Mr. Roberto G. Peper (ARG), Mr. Raymond Gafner (SUI), Mr. Nikos Filaretos (GRE), H. E. Mr. Mohamed Zerguini (ALG), Professor René Essomba (CMR). In addition, the following IOC members presented successful lectures at this Session: Mr. Un Yong Kim (KOR), Vice-Président of the Organising Committee of the Seoul Games, Mr. Pál Schmitt (HUN) and Mr. N. Filaretos (GRE), President of the IOA. Lectures were also delivered by Olympic champions Michelle Ford (AUS), Lia Manoliu (ROM), and Vladislav Tretyak (URS), who are all members of the IOC's Sports Com- mission. Mr. Francesco Gnecchi-Ruscone (ITA), President of the Inter- national Archery Federation, attended the Session as the IF representa- tive. Among the other speakers, we should mention especially Mr. A. Lopez (ESP), Director of the IOC's Olympic Solidarity, because it was the first time 10 that the valuable work of this committee has been presented at an IOA session. The 2nd Session of Sport Journalists, held in Ancient Olympia from 17th-21 st June 1987, was a great success. It was attended by forty prominent journalists from twenty-six countries who found the proceedings so inter- esting and useful that they submitted a proposal to the competent IOC and IOA bodies to have such sessions for sport journalists on a regular basis. Mr. Jacques Marchand, President of the AIPS Committee for Training Courses and Education, was one of the speakers, together with the Dean of the IOA, Dr. Otto Szymiczek, Mr. Ilias Sporidis, member of the HOC and President of UEPS, and Mr. Athanassios Tzartzanos, member of the IOA's Ephoria. The 6th Special Session for NOC and IF members and staff was con- vened from 25th June-3rd July and was attended by 59 delegates from 41 National Olympic Committees and International Federations. It was a very successful session and among the lecturers we should note Mr. Ivan Dibos (PER), member of the IOC's Executive Board, Mr. Mbaye (SEN), Vice-Président of the International Tribunal, Mrs. Françoise Zweifel (SUI), Secretary General of the IOC, Mr. Raoul Mollet, President of the Belgian NOC, the old friend and collaborator of the IOA, Dr. John Powell and others. The session was attended by presidents, secretaries, directors and members of NOCs and IFs. The working groups considered the following four subjects during their discussions: Olympism and Youth, Olympic Edu- cation, The Role and Problems of NOCs, Relations and Cooperation between the IOC and NOCs. The main theme of the 27th Session was "Youth and the Future of Olympism" and the programme included lectures, short papers by young Olympic champions who had taken part in the Olympic Games and pre- sented their impressions. These presentations are always followed with con- siderable interest by the participants because the young speakers describe their impressions of the Olympic Games, as competitors, accompanying staff, judges, etc., under different angles; in this way, in addition to the purely competitive aspect, the sociability of the Games, the development of relations among young people from different countries, political systems, etc., can be highlighted.

  • Sports, Theatre and Entertainment in the Ancient World
    Athletics, spectator sports, theatre, and other pastimes have become a consuming activity in our own time, cut short, at least temporarily, by our recent pandemic. How did these and other diversions develop in history? Are their antecedents found in the ancient world, especially in Greece and Rome? In this presentation, we will investigate the cultural roots and evolution of entertainment, especially the Greek and Roman games, as well as their theatre. Remember that the term culture comes from the Latin word cultus, in that most, if not all, of these activities have their origins in religious festivals or rites. We will also look into the social, economic and political dimensions of entertainment in antiquity. Since the Greek Olympic Year of 2014, dozens of studies have appeared that have enriched our understanding of these themes. While we will be concentrating on Greece and Rome, we will also briefly take glances of possible parallel developments in China, Egypt, Phoenicia, Byzantium, and elsewhere. Finally, we will study how these may have influenced our modern entertainments and recreation 1 In 2003, I participated in the First International Conference on History at the Athens Institute for Education and Research, and subsequently helped to edit the first collection of Essays, entitled Antiquity and Modernity: A Celebration of European History and Heritage in the Olympic Year 2004. It was soon followed by this host of publications. All of the books pictured (except two reprints) appeared between 2004 and 2015. A number of them gave new perspectives on Ancient athletics and sport, some of which I will briefly describe in this presentation….

  • 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.

  • Ethics and Sport in Europe Drugs, Extremism and Other Forms of Discrimination It Is Currently Facing
    SPORTS POLICY AND PRACTICE SERIES Defending ethics in sport is vital in order to combat the problems of corruption, violence, Ethics and sport in Europe drugs, extremism and other forms of discrimination it is currently facing. Sport refl ects nothing more and nothing less than the societies in which it takes place. However, if sport is to continue to bring benefi ts for individuals and societies, it cannot afford to neglect its ethical values or ignore these scourges. The major role of the Council of Europe and the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) in addressing the new challenges to sports ethics was confi rmed by the 11th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for Sport, held in Athens on 11 and 12 December 2008. A political impetus was given on 16 June 2010 by the Committee of Ministers, with the adoption of an updated version of the Code of Sports Ethics (Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)9), emphasising the requisite co-ordination between governments and sports organisations. The EPAS prepared the ministerial conference and stepped up its work in an international conference organised with the University of Rennes, which was attended by political leaders, athletes, researchers and offi cials from the voluntary sector. The key experiences described in the conference and the thoughts that it prompted are described in this publication. All the writers share the concern that the end result should be practical action – particularly in terms of the setting of standards – that falls within the remit of the EPAS and promotes the Council of Europe’s core values.

  • The Business World of Russian Football
    THESIS – BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMME SOCIAL SCIENCES, BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION THE BUSINESS WORLD OF RUSSIAN FOOTBALL Issues and Prospects AUTHOR : Roman Andreev LI17SP SAVONIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES THESIS Abstract Field of Study Social Sciences, Business and Administration Degree Programme Degree Programme in Business and Administration Author Roman Andreev Title of Thesis The Business World of Russian Football. Issues and Prospects Date 10.12.2020 Pages/Appendices 70/0 Client Organisation /Partners Abstract Beyond any doubt, football, known as soccer in North America, remains to be one of the most influential sport games in the history of humanity. Up to this day, soccer continues to captivate billions of sports enthu- siasts all over the globe. Football has achieved great recognition, and it is now considered the most popular sport in the world. Nowadays it is appropriate and entirely justified to talk about the emergence of the foot- ball industry. Basically, modern soccer can be viewed as an international business, since global player trans- fers are made on a regular basis and international professional tournaments are organized. Moreover, soccer leagues may be now rightfully classified as separate commercialized industries. Certain football tournaments perform much better than their competitors in a business sense. In this work, the Russian Premier League in particular is discussed. The aim of the study is to investigate the historic and current issues of Russian soccer, the reasons for their emergence, and the present state. Furthermore, the commercial prospects and possibilities for local football’s business development are inspected. Potential solu- tions to the outlined problems are demonstrated as well.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Tretiak The Legend by Vladislav Tretiak Reusse: How did a Russian sports legend end up in Detroit Lakes? BUFFALO, MINN. – The suggestion that everyone knows everyone in the world of hockey might be an exaggeration. Change that to everyone in the hockey world knows someone to put them in touch with everyone and you’re speaking the truth. This was particularly the case in 1988, when John and Lyn Erickson from Fargo purchased the International Hockey School in Detroit Lakes. A couple of years later, John used his friendship with Fargo’s Scott Bye, a financial adviser for NHLers, to meet Blackhawks goalie Ed Belfour, who had been working with Vladislav Tretiak, a part-time goalie coach in Chicago, and Belfour told Erickson that he might be able to hire the Russian legend as the star attraction for his goalie camp in Detroit Lakes. And in June 1991, Tretiak and his wife, Tatiana, were staying at the Fairyland Cottages (modeled after those seen in the film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”) on the northern shore of Detroit Lake, and getting ready for his first day at the Minnesota camp. Bill Manuel, a former goalie at Wisconsin-Stout and Lyn Erickson’s brother, recalls the first meeting when Tretiak relayed his message through Anna Goruven, his business agent and interpreter, and then agreed to take questions from campers. “We had five or six goalie instructors and had been saying, ‘OK, who is going to be the first to ask?’?” Manuel said. “Meaning, who among us was going to be the first to ask Tretiak about getting pulled as the Soviet goalie in the loss to the U.S.
