Programme initiated prior the Olympic Games Rio 2016 To provide a level playing field for all clean athletes at the Olympic Games Rio 2016, the IOC put special measures in place, including targeted pre-tests and the reanalysis of stored samples from the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and London 2012, following an intelligence-gathering process that started in August 2015 – in consultation with WADA and International Federations (IFs). The additional analyses on samples collected during the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and London 2012 were performed with improved analytical methods, in order to possibly detect prohibited substances that could not be identified by the analysis performed at the time of these editions of the Olympic Games. For reference, some reanalysis of the stored samples of Beijing 2008 and London 2012 was already conducted in 2009 and 2015 respectively, leading to the sanctioning of six athletes. The programme for Beijing samples has concluded due to the statute of limitations. The total number of confirmed Adverse Analytical Findings (AAFs) by reanalysis in 2016 was announced as 101. Targeted re-analysis programme In order to support the investigations of Prof. McLaren and his team, the IOC ordered a number of targeted re-analyses of Russian athletes’ samples during the course of 2016. In December 2016, the IOC also extended the mandate of the Oswald Commission to examine all samples collected from Russian athletes during the Olympic Games London 2012, following the findings of the completed Independent Person Report.

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.

  • Sporcularımızın Yaz Olimpiyatları Öyküsü
    Sporcularımızın Yaz Olimpiyatları Öyküsü Modern Olimpiyat Oyunları’nın kurucusu Fransız Pierre de Coubertin, 1800’lü yılların sonrasında sosyal ve siyasal anlamda çöküntü yaşayan ülkesinin kurtuluşunu, Fransız gencinin ahlakını güçlendirecek, inançlarını sağlamlaştıracak, karakterli, bedenen güçlü ve cesur bir eğitim sisteminde gördü. Türk ulusunun kurtarıcısı Büyük Atatürk’ün ölümünde Fransızların ünlü günlük spor gazetesi L’Auto’da yayınlanan makalede, Atatürk’ün spora verdiği önem şöyle anlatılıyordu: “Dünyada ilk kez beden eğitimini zorunlu kılan devlet adamı o oldu. Yalnızca kağıt üzerinde, nutuklarda değil, uygulayarak yerine getirdi. Stadyumlar ve çeşitli spor merkezleri kurdurdu. Halk evlerinin spor kollarını şahsen denetledi. Ulusun geleceğine yön verdiği günden itibaren Türkiye’de spor gittikçe artan bir önem ve değer kazandı.” Genç Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, Uluslararası Olimpiyat Komitesi’nce tarihinde ilk kez Paris 1924 Olimpiyat Oyunları’na resmen davet edildiğinde, Türkiye İdman Cemiyetleri İttifakı ile Türkiye Milli Olimpiyat Komitesi yöneticileri hükümetten yardım isteme kararı almışlar ve bunun için bir heyeti Ankara’ya göndermişlerdi. 1923 Ağustos’unda Ankara’ya gelen İdman Cemiyetleri İttifakı Başkanı Ali Sami Yen, önce Milli Eğitim Bakanı İsmail Sefa Özler’i daha sonra da Başbakan İsmet İnönü’yü ziyaret ederek gerek İdman Cemiyetleri İttifakı Örgütü’nün ülkedeki gelişimi ve gerekse Türkiye’nin Paris 1924 Olimpiyatı’na katılımı için hazırlanan bir raporu sundu. 18 Ağustos 1923 tarihli hükümet programında şu cümleler yer alıyordu: “Milli Eğitimin görevlerinden birincisi, çocukların eğitimi ve öğretimi; ikincisi, halkın eğitimi ve öğretimi; üçüncüsü, milli yıldızların yetiştirilmesi için gerekli araç-gereçlerin belirlenmesi ve sağlanmasıdır.” Bu arada TMOK Genel Sekreteri ve IOC Türkiye Temsilcisi Selim Sırrı Bey (Tarcan), hükümet programına bir yıl süreli beden eğitimi okulunu koydurma başarısını göstermişti.

Six other cities submitted applications, but their bids were dropped by the IOC in 1996. These cities were Istanbul, Lille, Rio de Janeiro, San Juan, The 2004 Summer Olympic Seville, Saint Petersburg and Cali. Games (Greek: Therinoí Olympiakoí Agónes 2004 ), officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad and commonly known as Athens 2004, were held in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004 with the motto Welcome Home. 10,625 athletes competed, some 600 more than expected, accompanied by 5,501 team officials from 201 countries. There were 301 medal events in 28 different sports. Athens 2004 marked the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics that all countries with a National Olympic Committee were in attendance. 2004 also marked the return of the games to the city where they began. Having previously hosted the Summer Olympic Games in 1896, Athens became one of only a handful of cities to have hosted the Summer Games twice or more (together with London, Paris, and Los Angeles). The 2004 Summer Games were hailed as "unforgettable, dream games" by IOC President Jacques Rogge, and left Athens with a significantly improved infrastructure, including a new airport, ring road, and subway system. The cost of the 2004 Athens Summer Games has been cited as a contributor to the Greek government-debt crisis. Some of the venues lie vacant and rotting, while others are in use; the ones at the Olympic Park and others in the coastal area are in regular use.
