Yarden Har Lev (ISR) PAGE

“...The Olympic Games should spread and promote the principles and values of Olympism.” (Olympic Charter, 2017, p.90) From the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 to today, the Olympic Movement has turned to its values to help define the role sport plays in the development of humans and humankind. Over the years, the scope of the Olympic Games has expanded and now welcomes athletes from 206 countries in the Summer Olympics and from 92 countries in the Winter Olympics. People of all nations come together, some as competitors and others as spectators, in the utmost spirit of friendship. Through the media, the Olympic family at the venue of the Games becomes the symbol of the Olympic concept of universalism and solidarity. This dimension can be attributed to two major changes in the history of the Olympic Games: (1) Since 1964 Summer Olympics, the event can be viewed live on television all over the world; (2) Since 2012 Summer Olympics, the social networks officially constitute a significant source of content surrounding the Olympic Movement. The great achievements of the participants symbolize the striving and achievement of all humanity. If this symbol is also associated with fair play and mutual respect, athletes set an example of successful coexistence between people in critical situations (Müller, 2003). Even though the Olympic Games create a picture of a global society inspired by the values of Olympism, it is important to emphasize that this image is far from being perfect, since the public – in view of the violations of the Olympic philosophy and the tangle of political, commercial and drug-related intrigues surrounding top-level sport -- perceives the Olympic Games as an event that is rarely exemplary and is not to be taken seriously educationally (Gassmann, 1992). Such a stigma, which indicates a gap between the Olympic ideal and reality, raises again the most fundamental questions: What are the values that drive the Olympic Movement and how do they reflect in the Olympic Games?
