MULTI-SPORT COMPETITIONS UDC: 796.09 (100) (091) (Professional peper ) Violeta Šiljak and Vesna Boškan Alfa University, Faculty of Management in Sport, Belgrade, Serbia Abstract Apart from the Olympic games, world championships, the university students games – The Universiade, there are many other regional sport movements organized as well.

  • The Beginning of the Winter Olympics
    The beginning of the Winter Olympics Artificial ice rinks around Europe lead to figure skating being adopted into the Olympic program as early as the first Olympic congress in Paris in 1894. Even so, skating was not included in the games themselves until 1908 in London. Members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) worked to ensure that Sweden would include winter sports in a program in conjunction with the Olympic summer games in Stockholm in 1912. The Swedes were strongly opposed to this as they had organized the Nordic Games every fourth year since 1901. These games were constituted a set of winter sports, both on skis and skates, and in addition they had skijoring after reindeer and various exercises involving the kick sled. The Nordic Games never achieved the popularity either home or abroad that the Swedes dreamed about. Nevertheless, they fought tooth and nail against the various attempts to include winter sports in the Olympic program. A key player in this opposition movement was Victor Balck, a man who was the driving force behind the Nordic Games at the same time that he was Vice President of the IOC. In 1914, the Norwegian Ski Federation (NSF) had a different perspective on the question of winter Olympic Games. Following a request from Germany, the NSF supported the idea of an Olympic winter event in conjunction with the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1916. At the Olympic Congress in Paris in June of 1914, it was Norway that formally proposed that winter Olympic Games be held in Feldberg in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) the winter before the Berlin games.

  • Basic Questions About World Winter Games
    BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT WORLD WINTER GAMES Irena Martínková Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Charles University in Prague José Martího 31, 162 52 Praha 6, Czech Republic [email protected] Abstract This paper asks three basic questions concerning world winter games (Winter Olympic Games and related events). I shall point at the features of these games that we usually take for granted. The three basic questions asked in this text will concern the three main words from the title: ‘world’, ‘winter’, and ‘games’. Firstly, I shall ask questions about what winter sport means, which is related to the origin of the Winter Olympic Games at the beginning of the 20th century. Secondly, I shall highlight the topic of internationality concerning winter games, which has always been problematic. Thirdly, I shall explain why Olympic Games are ‘Games’ and not ‘Sports’. Here, I shall present the distinction between ‘Olympic Games’ and ‘world championships’, which was an important distinction for Pierre de Coubertin and his followers, but which has now almost disappeared. Introduction This paper examines the topic of world winter games. World winter games are international events that comprise winter sport competitions, but are considered to be more than the sum of sport competitions, and as such are called ‘games’. These include mainly the Winter Olympic Games, but not exclusively – they also relate to Winter Paralympic Games, Winter Youth Olympic Games as well as the European Youth Olympic Festivals, since these events are based on the concepts of Olympism. Presently, the Winter Olympic Games, being one of the world’s most important sport events, influences our thinking about sport in general, as well as about winter sports.

  • The Nordic Games and the Olympic Platform As Arena for the Dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union
    The Nordic Games and the Olympic platform as arena for the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union Sebastian Kühn Innland Norway University of Applied Sciences and Norwegian Olympic Museum [email protected] Abstract Throughout their existence since 1896, the modern Olympic Games have seen quite a number of political conflicts and boycotts. They have been an arena for diplomatic controversies between sovereign countries and even internally within state structures. Still today, the political map in some cases does not correspond with the Olympic world map. In this regard, also the historical case of Norway and Sweden is an interesting one. Formally, both countries had been in a personal union under the Swedish crown since 1815. Nonetheless, Norway participated in the Olympic Games in Paris 1900 in its own right, due to the huge degree of Norwegian self-governance within the union and the subsequent development of its own sports system. This article examines the role of sport for the Norwegian nation building process and the impact of the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union onto the Nordic Games and Norway’s early involvement in the Olympic Movement. Being the most important predecessor for the Olympic Winter Games, the Nordic Games are of particular interest also for Olympic history.

Often considered a niche media, recent figures prove that the market keeps on growing. When looking at it from a marketing point of view, video games appear to be the golden goose. Nation branding is all about marketing: selling the best of one’s nation to other nations to attract investors, tourists, brains and technology. Why then, not consider video games as a mean to brand a nation? With such a large scale of influence and potential, one could argue video games seem like the perfect opportunity to make a nation known. Norse mythology did not -and does not- have that many supporters, but its influence is far-reaching: in movies, books, series and video games, it has been a source of inspiration for decades. Video games with Norse elements have been quite popular, especially since 2015.

  • Modul 1/6 Anhang
    Modul 1/6 Anhang No. 2 The Nordic Games: Visions of Olympic Winter Games or a National Festival? Jens Ljunggren & Leif Yttergren Introduction In 1901 the first Nordic Games were arranged in Stockholm by Sweden's Central Association for the Promotion of Sports (Centralförening for idrottens framjande - CF). The Association had been founded in 1897 and was characterized by a socially exclusive membership group. The officers' corps dominated the Association's governing board, but there were also many businessmen and entrepreneurs, high ranking civil servants and politicians involved. Many of the nation's influential politicians became members of the Association.1 In total the Nordic Games were organized seven times: 1901, 1903, 1905, 1909, 1913, 1917, 1922, and 1926. All Games took place in Stockholm with the exception of the 1903 event, which was held in Kristiania (Oslo), under the title Nordic Winter Sport's Week. As the Norwegian name suggests, the Games lasted for one week. The events were extensive and grand, and were not far behind the modern Olympic Games. Nordic Games were also planned for 1930 and 1942, however, for various reasons, they never came to fruition. The Turn of the Century 1900 - National Romanticism, the Nordic Movement, and the Age of Oscar Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the National Romantic trends made their way into art, literature, and architecture. Artists such as Anders Zorn, Bruno Liljefors, and Carl Larsson who are still among the most popular painters, made their breakthroughs in that era. The extremly conservative ruler, Oscar II, left his imprint on much of the fashionable cultural life.

  • The Growth and Rebranding of the Olympic Winter Games: 1908 to 2022*
    The Growth and Rebranding of the Olympic Winter Games: 1908 to 2022* By Richard Baka "The Seed is Sown”: 1908 to 1921» - Winter Sports in the Summer Games and the Emergence of a Stand-Alone Event Suppltm -nfo della Gazzctta del Popolo A ~ - IV N . f m , .* IV H..- l»M From 1896 to 1904 the Olympic Games were solely the domain of summer sports, with no winter sports included in the programme. Shortly after this, figure skating was included in the 1908 London Summer Games and the 1920 Antwerp Summer Games. Likewise, ice hockey was added as an event at the 1920 Summer Olympics. Since both of these sports could be played indoors and did not rely on winter weather conditions it was obvious as to why they were the first winter sports chosen to be in the Summer Games fixture.
