    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Health and Human Development RULE BRITANNIA: NATIONALISM, IDENTITY, AND THE MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES A Dissertation in Kinesiology by Matthew P. Llewellyn ©2010 Matthew P. Llewellyn Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 The dissertation of Matthew P. Llewellyn was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark S. Dyreson Associate Professor of Kinesiology Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Kinesiology James Thompson Professor Emeritus of Kinesiology Garry Chick Professor of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management Martin Polley Senior Lecturer of Sport History University of Southampton, UK Special Member Karl M. 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.

  • ATHENS 2004 This Tournament Goes to Eleven VI: Lick My Love Pump Written By: Trevor D
    ATHENS 2004 This Tournament Goes To Eleven VI: Lick my Love Pump Written by: Trevor D. Schultz Edited by: Andrew R. Juhl of the University of Iowa Academic Quiz Club Subject: A packet about the 2004 Olympics and Olympic-related trivia, facts, and stories. Just like it should, this packet requires a gold-medal-level of knowledge about the Olympics. TOSS UPS 1. American Harvard Law Student James Brendan Connolly mustered a hop, step and jump of over 13 meters, and thus did something that hadn't been done in 1,500 years. (*) His countrymen also fared well - though the host nation accounted for 2/3 of all competitors and were on top of the medal count - though perhaps that's not totally fair since some events did not allow foreigners, like the 100m swim for sailors that was strictly for competitors from the Greek Navy. For 10 points, name this occasion - a gathering of nations for the thrill of sport - the fIrst modern resurrection of an ancient Greek tradition. Answer: 1896 Athens Olympics (or) 1st Summer Olympics (or) I Olympiad (prompt on "win a gold medal" on early buzz). 2. They are officially designated as "equipment" by the IOC, though they do require passports with full documentation before they can enter a host country. (*) In the modern pentathlon event­ competitors draw for them randomly, and an uncooperative one can ruin chances for a medal. When they are part of a top 3 fInish, they receive ribbons and flowers, but not medals - though I'm sure a tasty carrot would be just fIne.
