Quotation from the address by the IOC President at the opening of the 39th Session of the International Olympic Academy. Pnyx, 20 July 1999 6 FOREWORD All the Sessions and Seminars organized by the International Olympic Academy (IOA) this year were extremely successful and highly praised by participants, lecturers and guests alike. Special reference must be made to the President of the IOA, Mr Nikos Filaretos, who has been offering his benevolent services to the Hellenic Olympic Committee (HOC) and the Olympic Movement for the past 25 years. During the Opening Ceremony of the 39th International Session for Young Participants and in the presence of the IOC President, Mr Juan Antonio Samaranch, the HOC President, Mr Lambis Nikolaou, representing the HOC, presented Mr Filaretos with a prize for his long years of contribution to the Olympic Movement. Moreover, the Vice-Président of the Russian Olympic Committee, Prof. V. Rodichenko, representing the Russian NOC, awarded Mr Nikos Filaretos the Higher Distinction of the Russian Olympic Movement. The basic subject of the Session was, like every year "Olympism", while its special subject was: "The Olympic Ideal and Culture in the Global Age". 14 lecturers, seven guests, 26 coordinators, 182 participants, from 85 countries and all five continents, 98 of whom were male and 84 female, and four IOA scholarship-holders participated in the Session. The aforementioned scholarships are granted in memory of the late IOA President, Mr Nikolaos Nissiotis, IOA Vice-Président, Mr Kleanthis Paleólogos and IOA Dean, Mr Otto Szymiczek. Through their lectures, the 14 Lecturers contributed a great deal to the success of the Session, offering the Participants a wealth of knowledge and information on Olympism and culture, always in connection to the phenomenon of globalization. The Session began with a lecture by IOA President and member of the International Olympic Committee, Mr Nikos Filaretos (GRE). Mr Filaretos made special reference to the current role of the mass media in the field of sports as well as to the consequences of globalization in that same field. The President of the European Cultural Centre of Delphi and the European University, Prof. Hélène Glikatzi-Arwheiller (GRE) gave a clear picture of the 7 close relationship between the Olympic spirit and culture as well as of the way in which these elements can contribute to the greatest possible reduction of the negative effects of globalization. Prof. Nikolaos Yalouris (GRE), Former General Director of Antiquities of the Ministry of Culture and Honorary Vice-Président of the IOA clarified the crucial role the sacred sites of Olympia and Delphi played throughout Antiquity. Mr Bob Elphinston (AUS), General Manager of SOCOG 2000, talked about the preparations for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and the cultural and sports programme. He gave a detailed description of the overall organization, the facilities, the sports and competition schedule, the Olympic arts festivals and generally of every sector related to the preparations for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Prof. Norbert Müller (GER), Professor at the University of Mainz and member of the IOC Commission for the International Olympic Academy and Olympic Education, emphasized the role that Olympism can and must play in the field of education - the emphasis being on the local level - and the contribution of Olympic Education to modern society. Mrs Helen Brownlee (AUS), State Manager of the "School Sport Unit" in the Department of School Education in New South Wales and member of the IOC Commission for the International Olympic Academy and Olympic Education, lectured on the concept of Olympic Education and its application in modern society. She also mentioned possibilities of improving the ways in which Olympic Education is applied nowadays, referring at the same time to the framework for Global Olympic Education. The President of the Olympic Academy of Central Africa, Mr Théophile Touba (CAF) drew a comparison in his lecture between the traditional European and African education with regard to the Olympic spirit. He also talked of the relationship between the latter and the phenomena of globalization and multicultural education. Prof. Jim Parry (GBR), Head of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Leeds, Great Britain, gave a lecture on globalization multiculturalism and Olympism. After having presented in detail the various aspects and paramètres related to these three concepts and the relationships that existed between them, he referred to the notion of the philosophical Anthropology of the Olympics. In his lecture on the educational aspects of the World Youth Games, the Vice-Président of the Russian Olympic Committee, Prof. Vladimir Rodichenko (RUS) talked mainly about the implementation of the Olympic principles in the context of the Games and the quest for a more promising future through the organization of similar events. Mrs Nicole Girard-Savoy (SUI), Chief Project Manager of Olympic Solidarity, gave an excellent presentation on her work at Olympic Solidarity. She also gave a detailed description of Olympic Solidarity as an institution and its function and role in the field of sport and Olympism. 8 Prof. Shin-pyo Kang (KOR), Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Inje, gave a lecture on local and global aspects of the Olympic Games. Referring to the Olympic Games in Seoul and drawing a comparison with the Olympiads that have taken place in other countries of the world, he underlined the way in which the local element comes into play and influences the global character of the Olympic Games. In his lecture, Dr Holger Preuss (GER), Lecturer in the Faculty of Sport sciences of the Department of Sport History and Sport Sociology in the University of Mainz, Germany, presented the phenomenon of globalization, mainly as an economic factor. After detailed reference to the funding sources of the Olympic Games from 1972-1996, he examined the way in which globalization influences the funding sources of the Games in our times. Dr Naofumi Masumoto (JPN), Professor at the Department of Kinesiology of the School of Science of the Tokyo Metropolitan University, gave a lecture entitled: "Multidimensional Interpretations of Olympism: The Case of Sports Films", in which he referred to the film history of the Olympic Games. His lecture also included a short presentation of the contents of the Olympic films of the period 1936-1989, and touched on the questions of criticism and interpretation with regard to these films as well as the multidimensional aspect of Olympism, as presented in them. Finally, in his lecture, Mr Jean Durry (FRA), Director of the Sport Museum of France, gave an account of efforts to organize cultural events within the context of the Olympiads, from 1896, the year of the revival of the Games, right through to modern times. In his lecture, he underlined the need for new impetus to be attached to these cultural events, meaning that these events should become as important a pole of attraction for the spectators of the Games as the sports events. Eight participants presented short papers during the Session. Eight participants had the opportunity to present their personal Olympic experience based on their participation at the Olympic Games to all those attending the Session. The Olympic Museum representative gave an excellent presentation of the important work of the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. The participants at the Session were divided into 12 discussion groups, two of which were made up of French-speaking participants and the remaining ten of English speakers. Topics for discussion were given to the discussion groups. These topics were divided into two circles: the first circle included topics related to the basic subject of the Session, i.e. Olympism, while the second included topics related to its special subject, i.e.

The facility is located in Sydney’s suburb of Homebush, in the middle of the Olympic Park of the Australian city. When it was inaugurated, due to its 110,000 seats, it immediately conquered the “largest Olympic stadium in the world” title and at the same time it is the largest in Australia. The structure was designed and built with the intent of respecting demanding environmental conditions: compared to other Olympic stadiums (Athens and Beijing), as an example, less steel was used. The construction was started in September 1996 and completed just two and a half years later: on March 6, 1999, Sydney’s Olympic Stadium saw its first sport event: two rugby13 matches watched by 104,583 spectators. From October 2001 to October 2003, Stadium Australia was refurbished to make it the only stadium in the world capable of hosting five different professional sports: Rugby13 league, Rugby15 (Union), Australian Football, Soccer and Cricket.

  • Than Just Games
    More than just Games Yap Games banner.jpg “More than Just Games” was the theme of the 9th Micronesian Games held in Yap, Micronesia from July 16-27, 2018. Hundreds of volunteers, including Yap SAI staff members Bryan Dabugsiy (Senior Auditor), Jesse Foruw (Investigator), and Leelkan Southwick (Chief Investigator), dedicated time and effort to help ensure a successful experience for all during the Games – and the Office of the Yap State Public Auditor even won some medals. About the Micronesian Games The first Micronesian Games, held in Saipan in July 1969, brought together athletes representing only those Micronesian islands which constituted the U.S. administrated Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, including the Marianas, Palau, the Marshall Islands, Yap, Truk (now Chuuk), Ponape (now Pohnpei), and Kusaie (now Kosrae). Today, participants of this event come from 10 Micronesian island nations and states, which include the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, the Republic of Palau, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae and Yap, which compete separately from one another). The Micronesian Games thus combine events that may be found in other international competitions with events more specific to Micronesian countries. Athletes compete in the fields of athletics, baseball, basketball, beach volleyball, coconut tree climbing, coconut-husking, fast-pitch softball, golf, slow-pitch softball, spearfishing, swimming, table tennis, triathlon, va'a canoe, volleyball and wrestling, as well as the "micro all around". More Than Just Auditors Bryan, Jesse, and Leelkan were involved in various roles, from being part of the organizing committee to representing and coaching particular sports during the Games.

The Stimson project on nuclear security explores the practical dimensions of this critical 21st century debate, to identify both political and technical obstacles that could block the road to “zero,” and to outline how each of these could be removed. Led by Stimson's co-founder and Distinguished Fellow Dr. Barry Blechman, the project provides useful analyses that can help US and world leaders make the elimination of nuclear weapons a realistic and viable option. The series comprises country assessments, published in a total of six different monographs, and a separate volume on such technical issues as verification and enforcement of a disarmament regime, to be published in the fall. This sixth monograph in the series, following volumes on France and the United Kingdom, China and India, Israel and Pakistan, Iran and North Korea, and Russia and the United States, examines three countries without nuclear weapons of their own, but which are nonetheless key states that would need to be engaged constructively in any serious move toward eliminating nuclear weapons.
