Documents textuels. Nom du producteur Comité International Olympique (CIO). Histoire administrative / Notice biographique Les Jeux de la bonne entente sont créés par Ted Turner (fondateur des chaînes américaines de télévision TBS et CNN) en réaction aux troubles politiques entre les Etats-Unis d’Amérique et l'URSS après les boycotts des Jeux Olympiques de Moscou en 1980 et Los Angeles en 1984. Il imaginait pouvoir apaiser les tensions pendant la période de la Guerre Froide par le biais de compétitions sportives amicales entres les différentes nations. Le concept de ces Jeux est différent des nombreuses autres compétitions internationales. Il est basé sur les performances des athlètes et non pas sur leur participation. Les fédérations de sport choisissent les meilleurs athlètes russe et américain, et ensuite les six meilleurs athlètes selon les classements mondiaux. Il n'y a pas de phases éliminatoires mais uniquement des finales1. Les Jeux de la bonne entente sont aussi appelés "Jeux de la bonne volonté" ou "Jeux de l'Amitié". Editions 1986 : Moscou (URSS) 1990 : Seattle (Etats-Unis d’Amérique) La 1ère édition des Jeux de la bonne entente a lieu à Moscou (URSS) en 1986 et regroupe 79 nations avec plus de 3000 athlètes dans 18 sports différents. Modalité d’entrée La sous-série est parvenue aux Archives historiques du CIO en 1993, suite à la construction du nouveau Musée Olympique à Ouchy. Présentation du contenu La sous-série témoigne des activités du CIO liées à la préparation, à l'organisation et au déroulement des Jeux de la bonne entente et des relations qu’il entretient avec les personnes et les organismes chargés de l'organisation des différentes éditions de ces Jeux. Pour la 1ère édition, elle regroupe de la correspondance, des articles de presse, des feuilles d’information et un protocole d’intention entre la Commission de la culture physique et du sport du Conseil des ministres de l’URSS, le Comité pour la radiotélévision de l’URSS et Turner Broadcasting System. Elle renferme aussi la transcription des discussions concernant les Jeux de la bonne entente lors de la réunion de la commission exécutive du CIO à Lausanne (Suisse) en décembre 1985.

Documents textuels. Nom du producteur Comité International Olympique (CIO). Histoire administrative / Notice biographique2 En 1982, la Communauté Européenne (CE) adopte une résolution pour l’organisation des Jeux de la Communauté Européenne dans le but de démontrer son unité par la promotion d’activités sportives au sein de la communauté. Une étude de faisabilité, financée par Diners Club International3, est entreprise en 1986 par une équipe d’experts européens dans le domaine des grandes manifestations sportives internationales. L’objectif de cette étude était d’établir les lignes directrices permettant d’organiser des Jeux pluridisciplinaires au niveau européen capables d’encourager la plus haute participation des pays membres au meilleur rapport coût-efficacité. Suite à cette étude, le concept proposé était le suivant : - Organisation de Jeux comportant 24 disciplines sportives différentes réparties à travers les 12 pays membres de la communauté, le tout relié par la télévision. Ainsi, les coûts pour le village des athlètes, la construction d’un site dans chaque ville, la sécurité et les infrastructures pour les médias seraient grandement diminués. - La principale source de financement de cette manifestation sportive serait assurée par la vente des billets d’entrée et par le parrainage commercial d’un petit groupe de grosses sociétés européennes préalablement sélectionnées. La 1ère édition des Jeux de la Communauté Européenne était initialement prévue au printemps 1989. Ces Jeux devaient avoir lieu tous les deux ans. Suite à une réunion le 6 juillet 1988 à Bruxelles (Belgique) entre des représentants du sport international, des fédérations nationales, de la Commission Européenne et des sponsors, il est décidé que la célébration de cette 1ère édition serait repoussée jusqu’en 1991. Ces Jeux sont aussi appelés "Jeux de la Communauté Economique Européenne". Aucun document dans les archives historiques du CIO ne permet de confirmer si les Jeux de la Communauté Européenne ont été célébrés.

    Gay Games A promotional piece for by Jim Buzinski the first Gay Games, then called the Gay Olympic Games, in 1982. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Courtesy Federation of Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Gay Games. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The Gay Games is a quadrennial sporting and cultural event designed for the gay and lesbian community. The brainchild of former Olympic decathlete Tom Waddell, the Games were first held in San Francisco in 1982. Some 1,300 athletes participated in the first competition. Since then, the event has become a lucrative attraction that cities bid for the privilege of hosting. The Games pump millions of dollars into the host city's local economy. Waddell had originally intended to call the competition the Gay Olympics, but nineteen days before the start of the first games the United States Olympic Committee obtained a restraining order, forbidding the use of that name. The USOC asserted that it had sole rights to use the name Olympics. Waddell, noting that the USOC had raised no objections to other competitions using the name, told Sports Illustrated: "The bottom line is that if I'm a rat, a crab, a copying machine or an Armenian I can have my own Olympics. If I'm gay, I can't.'' Waddell, who died from complications of AIDS in 1987, conceived the Games as a means of promoting the spirit of inclusion and healthy competition in athletics. As his biographer Dick Schaap explains, "Tom wanted to emphasize that gay men were men, not that they were gay, and that lesbian women were women, not that they were lesbians.

Historical Note The Gay Games was an athletic event and festival first held in San Francisco between August 28 and September 5,1982. The event was founded by Tom Waddell, and it was first referred to as the Gay Olympics as it was modeled after the international Olympic Games. Controversy surrounding the event began when the U.S. Olympic Committee filed a legal injunction that succeeded in preventing use of the word "Olympic" as part of its name. As a result, it was known as the Gay Athletic Games that first year. Four years after the Gay Athletic Games were held in San Francisco, the Gay Games continued the tradition of a gay athletic competitions and festivals held, like the Olympics, in different cities at four-year intervals.

  • The 20Th Maccabiah Games, an International Jewish Multi-Sport Event, Featured 10,000 Athletes from Over 80 Countries

    The 20Th Maccabiah Games, an International Jewish Multi-Sport Event, Featured 10,000 Athletes from Over 80 Countries

    The 20th Maccabiah Games, an international Jewish multi-sport event, featured 10,000 athletes from over 80 countries. In the summer of 2017, over 1000 athletes from the USA traveled to Israel to compete in the third-largest sporting event in the world. Six juniors played chess in Haifa, along with three open competitors in Jerusalem. In the junior section, Joseph Zeltsan led wire-to-wire to win the first Maccabiah chess gold medal in United States history. Zeltsan won his first three games, including a slugfest with silver medalist Ezra Paul Chambers of Burundi. Zeltsan ceded only one draw, in a fourth-round match ​ ​ with bronze medalist Daniel Savchenko of Germany. “I was lost, then he blundered and I could've won, but I missed the win and found a draw instead, which is probably fair,” said Zeltsan, a top-ranked junior from the Bronx. The entire USA team performed well. Simona Nayberg of California was the top female finisher in the event. She and Eitan Genger of Florida scored 4.5 points to tie for 3rd-5th place, both narrowly missing out on a bronze medal due to tiebreaks. Kevin Ordet, also of Florida, braved a tough schedule in his first FIDE rated tournament, finishing with 3.5 points. Max Weinstein of New Jersey, participating in his second Maccabi Games, finished strong after a tough start to end with 3.5 points as well. Rose Dreizen of Manhattan got off to a great start in her first international tournament. She was tied for second after four rounds, and finished with 3 points due to challenging late-round matchups.
