SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBBAaY. 9 INTRODUCTION T h e Fifth Olympiad, held under the auspices of the Swedish Olympic Committee at Stockholm, will unquestionably go down in history as the greatest of all international contests, as well as the premier gathering of the world's most expert athletes. Twenty-seven countries sent teams of more or less size and merit fo r thirty-one events on the track and field programme, and a majority tried for such odd contests as the aquatics, gymnastics, wrestling, rowing, fencing, shooting, cycling and yachting. Chiefly on account of the fact that originally the Olympic Games only embraced track and field contests, that part of the programme, as at all previous Olympic struggles, proved to be the most attractive. On it was focussed the main strength of the teams, and the battle for supremacy, both individually and for points, produced one continuous string of the most sensa­ tional performances. Record after record went tottering to oblivion and in many instances new marks saw the light, and of a quality which even the most enthusiastic followers of amateur sport had calculated to be impossible to modern prowess. While almost every track event is worthy of a descriptive chapter in itself, there arc two which stand out in bold relief, and these are the 1,500 and 800 meters, the latter being the greater, as it was the means of contributing a new world's rec­ ord for the half-mile. An extra string had been put at the 880- yard mark, and though the winner hesitated slightly after hitting the finish of the 800 meters, he reached the half mile in 1 minute 1-2 seconds. There in the broad light of day, at a great occasion, among the choicest of the world's competitors, and before the world's keenest experts, all previous marks for the 800 meters and half-mile were blotted out and the new ones substituted were of a caliber simply bordering on the marvelous. The young man to perform the feat was an American and it is still more satisfactory to remember that the second and third were also Americans and that they beat the previous record. The track and field part of the programme occupied the Sta­ dium, or Stadion, as the Swedes termed it, from Ju ly 6th to 15th, the grand opening occurring on the former date. Every­ thing that went to make the inaugural was propitious, the weather was glorious, and a bright, warm sun shone on the arena, making the flags of all nations ruffling in the breeze A. Cm .

Trolley cars, cabs, hacks and taxis were crowded to double their capacity, and any sort of a conveyance was at a premium.

INDLEDNING FORORD I verden omkring os vandt Tyskland en festlig og spektakulær VM-slutrunde i fodbol- dens sambaland, Brasilien – desværre uden Danmark blandt deltagerne. Herhjem- me vandt AaB både pokal og mesterskab hos mændene, mens Fortuna Hjørring og Brøndby tog sig af trofæerne hos kvinderne. Og så fik det danske U21-landshold et historisk gennembrud og gik ubesejret gennem kvalifikationen til EM. I DBU har 2014 også budt på en masse nyt. Vi har fejret 125 års jubilæum – med fest og fejring for spillere, trænere og fans samt gæster fra hele fodboldens verden. Vi har lanceret fortællingen ‘En Del af Noget Større’ og en ny vision for at skabe fokus på fodboldens bidrag til samfundet. Vi har lanceret nye strategier for vores fans og billetområder – med nedsættelse af prisen på de fleste billetter. Og vi har lanceret ny kommerciel strategi med fokus på flere kommercielle partnerskaber i stedet for én hovedsponsor. Vi har holdt seminar om fodboldens betydning for danskernes sundhed – og mulig- heden for at gøre endnu mere. Og så har vi set et nyt samarbejde mellem skoler og klubber vokse frem med henblik på at få mere fodbold i og uden for skoletiden.

Newell Professor of Kinesiology Head of Department of Kinesiology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract As the cradle of modern sport, Britain‘s rich sporting history contributed significantly to the nation‘s identity both at home and abroad. Through their governance and control of leading bureaucratic organizations and clubs, the British established and maintained a position of leadership both on and off the field. Britain‘s early sporting dominance, coupled with the use of sport as medium for shaping the abilities, values and character of a British governing class, cultivated a belief that sport played a crucial role in the acquisition and consolidation of British hegemonic power. After an initial period of unrivalled dominance, Britain‘s monopolistic position as leader of modern sport eventually came under serious assault. Britain‘s historical sporting supremacy—similar to her imperial and economic power in general—was relative, not absolute; a position predicated more on the weaknesses of her opponents rather than her own strengths.
