    Relationships Between International Sport Federations and International Disability Sport

    Relationships Between International Sport Federations and International Disability Sport Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society Disability in Sport www.sportinsociety.org Introduction Sport opportunities for people with disabilities worldwide have traditionally been organized by disability rather than sport. International governing bodies for sport for people with disabilities include organizations such as the International Committee for Deaflympics (CISS) for the deaf, Special Olympics International for persons with intellectual disabilities and the International Paralympic Committee traditionally for persons with physical disabilities and since 1992 also for persons with intellectual disabilities. The histories of CISS, SOI and IPC are unique and in many respects more dissimilar than similar. What they do have in common is the reason for their creation: to offer opportunities in a segregated setting that were not being met by the able bodied sport system. Organizational Histories Paralympic sport began in the 1950s with a desire to re-integrate persons with disabilities into mainstream society and for over fifty years this issue has held a significant place within disability sport’s growth and development. Sir Ludwig Guttmann included sport and recreation into his rehabilitation programs at the Stoke Mandeville Rehabilitation hospital precisely to encourage the inclusion of war veterans into mainstream society and it was the games that he held that became the genesis for the Paralympic Games. The International Olympic Committee has signed two agreements with IPC confirming IOC financial and organizational support for the IPC and securing and protecting the organization of the Paralympic Games (Hums, Wolff & Legg, 2003). Special Olympics began in 1968 when Eunice Kennedy Shriver organized the First International Special Olympics Games in Chicago.

Abstract: The basis for achieving success in sport is technical preparation supported by adequate level of physical fitness. During judo competitions, athletes use technique to meet tactical objectives aimed to achieve victory. The modification of the rules of combat in judo that has been carried out in recent years has changed the course of competition. It seems to be interesting if there are relations between technical and tactical preparation expressed by means of indices and modification of the course of the fight caused by changes in the rules. The purpose of the paper was to determine Citation: Błach, W.; Rydzik, Ł.; Błach, the values of technical and tactical preparation of judokas during competition at the elite level.

  • The Beginning of the Winter Olympics

    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.
