UNDERSTANDING THE OLYMPICSJohn Horne and Garry Whannel. Routledge, 2020, 325 p.
How did the Olympics evolve into a multi-national phenomenon? How
can the Olympics help us to understand the relationship between sportand society? What will be the impact and legacy of the Olympics after
Tokyo in 2020? "Understanding the Olympics" answers all thesequestions by exploring the social, cultural, political, historical, andeconomic context of the Games. This thoroughly revised and updated
edition discusses recent attempts at future proofing by the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) in the face of growing global anti-Olympic
activism, the changing geo-political context within which the Olympics
take place, and the Olympic histories of the next three cities to host theGames – Tokyo (2020), Paris (2024), and Los Angeles (2028) – as wellas the legacy of the London (2012) Olympics. For the first time, this new
edition introduces the reader to the emergence of ‘other Games’
associated with the IOC – the Winter Olympics, the Paralympics, and theYouth Olympics. It also features a full Olympic history timeline, many
new photographs, refreshed suggestions for further reading, and revised
illustrations. The most up-to-date and authoritative textbook available on
the Olympic Games, Understanding the Olympics is essential reading foranybody with an interest in the Olympics or the wider relationshipbetween sport and society.

Think tank Sport et Citoyenneté ; réd. Sylvain Landa... [et al.].
Sport et Citoyenneté, 2020, 57 p.
L’organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques (JOP) à Paris en2024 offre une occasion unique au mouvement sportif français, ainsiqu’à l’ensemble des acteurs associatifs, économiques, éducatifs etinstitutionnels dont le travail est étroitement lié au sport et à l’activité
physique, de traiter les multiples enjeux dont le sport est porteur. Santéet bien-être, mobilités douces et actives, lutte contre l’exclusion, égalité
entre les femmes et les hommes, éducation et transmission,accessibilité des équipements, prise en compte des impératifs
écologiques, valorisation des territoires en sont quelques exemples. La
Seine-Saint-Denis fourmille d’initiatives portées par des acteurs
associatifs divers, que ce soit dans le champ du sport proprement dit ou
dans le champ plus large de l’économie sociale et solidaire. Comment
ces initiatives peuvent-elles bénéficier de l’effet JOP ? Quelles sont les
attentes et les besoins exprimés par les acteurs ? Comment les JOP
peuvent-ils permettre à la Seine-Saint-Denis de se transformer et derayonner grâce aux talents qui la composent ? Ce recueil, réalisé dansle cadre d’un projet pédagogique conduit par notre Think tank avec lesétudiants du Mastère Spécialisé en Management des Organisations deSport (MS MOS) d’Audencia Business School (promotion 2019/2020),
tente d’apporter quelques éléments de réponse à ces questions.

JAPAN THROUGH THE LENS OF THE TOKYOOLYMPICS
Barbara Holthus... [et al.]. Routledge, 2020, 143 p.
Using the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a lens into the city and the country as
a whole, the stellar line up of contributors offer hidden insights and new
perspectives on the Games. These include city planning, cultural politics,
financial issues, language use, security, education, volunteerism andconstruction work. The chapters then go on to explore the many
stakeholders, institutions, citizens, interest groups, and protest groups
involved, and feature the struggle over Tokyo’s extreme summer heat,food standards, the implementation of diversity around disabilities,
sexual minorities and technological innovations. Giving short glimpses
into the new Olympic sports, this book also analyses the role of these
sports in Japanese society. "Japan through the lens of the Tokyo
Olympics" will be of huge interest to anyone attending the Olympic
Games in Tokyo 2020. It will also be useful to students and scholars of
the Olympics and the sociology of sport, as well as Japanese culture andsociety.

OLYMPIC G AMES
Carlos García. In: Dave Day (ed), Playing pasts (Manchester:
MMU sport and leisure history, 2020), pp. 106-119.
Over the years, the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games havesimultaneously become a founding myth of Spanish democracy andSpanish sport and the paradigmatic example of an Olympics Games witha positive legacy. After almost thirty years since its celebration, the time
may have come to analyse to what extent this myth corresponds toreality. To do this, the author first analyses the different levels in which it
has operated: as an example of the economic modernization of thecountry; as evidence of the democratic consensus in Spain; as a
success story of elite sports policy; and as an example of urban renewal.
The subsequent critical analysis will try to make emerge those aspects
that the myth omits or hides.

The 1908 Olympic marathon is one of the most written about events inmodern Olympic history, with the main protagonists being the feature ofmany articles and chapters. Almost absent from this extensive
histography is a detailed explanation about the performance of theeleven British athletes that began the race. This chapter’s intention is tobegin to undercover the story of one of the British athletes, Jack Price, aresident of Halesowen, Worcestershire and a representative of Small
Heath Harriers from Birmingham. A range of sources will be examined to
explain the reasons why not only Jack Price but all of the British athletes
failed in this pivotal Olympic event.

Expectations of urban upgrading projects in light of the 2014 World Cup
and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro oscillated between hopefulprospects and pessimistic anticipation. This photo essay provides
insights into the displacement that took place against the backdrop ofthese mega‐events. In both text and images, it zooms in on theconsequences of an urban development program that was carried out inthe run‐up to the Olympics in two favelas bordering Rio’s affluent South

pp. 1-19.
The promise of the Rio 2016 Games was to influence the entire
population of Brazil, but the major impact was expected to be on children
and the youth. The development of youth education programs promoting
Olympic and Paralympic values was one of the main commitments thatorganizers made in 2009 to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic
Games. This article draws on the available literature on Olympic andParalympic education and youth engagement and examines several ofsuch programs previously implemented in such host cities as Beijing,
Vancouver, and London. The purpose was to explore the ways in which
implementing such educational legacy programs by the Rio 2016 andother sporting mega-event organizers can inspire and sustain youth
engagement.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: A SUSTAINABLE LEG ACYFOR OLYMPIC PARKS
Eveline Mussi… [et al.]. In: Rob Roggema, Anouk Roggema,
Smart and sustainable cities and buildings, Springer, 2020, pp.
335-349.
Since the 1980s, plans for the Sydney Olympic Park (SOP) have been
underway to transform the heavily contaminated brownfield site ofHomebush Bay into a thriving urban precinct of residential
neighbourhoods, business districts and regional parklands. Thistransformation has been underpinned by Environmentally Sustainable
Development (ESD) principles, as established by Sydney Olympic
organisers in the bid for the 2000 Olympic Games. The Sydney Olympic
Park Master Plan 2030 envisions 23,500 residents and a doubling of
office spaces, responding to state goals for the growth of the Western
Sydney region. Such population growth challenges SOP’s management
to remain loyal to sustainable development, maintaining a ‘local’ level ofengagement and participation with residents and balancing competinginterests from businesses who view themselves as integral stakeholders
in SOP. The importance of public participation to sustainable
development and contemporary challenges to its application, especiallyin public- private mega-projects, is the focus of this chapter. The chapter
will discuss findings from a 4-year doctoral investigation of social
sustainability in the SOP and how public participation has been
considered and implemented in the process of developing it, postGames.

Significant financial investments in organizing sport mega-events (SME)and training SME volunteers are frequently justified on the basis that
local organizations can benefit from a larger pool of experienced
volunteers following the event. By employing social exchange theory asa theoretical framework, this study explores the connection between the
SME volunteer experience and subsequent volunteer behavior as apotential return on investment. In-depth interviews have been conductedwith 15 Chinese volunteers who participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympic

HISTORY OF THE OG | HISTOIRE DES JOGREEK ATHLETICS SPORTS AND FESTIVALS
Edward Norman Gardiner. Nova Science, 2020, 381 p.
The Olympic Games is a striking testimony to the influence which
Ancient Greece still exercises over the modern world, and to theimportant place which athletics occupied in the life of the Greeks. Other
nations may have given equal attention to the physical education of theyoung; other nations may have been equally fond of sport; other nations
may have produced individual athletes, individual performances equal orsuperior to those of the Greeks, but nowhere can we find any parallel tothe athletic ideal expressed in the art and literature of Greece, or to theextraordinary vitality of her athletic festivals. The growth of this ideal, andthe history of the athletic festivals, are the subject of this book.

DIFFUSION OF ISO 20121 AT THE GOLD CO AST2018 CO MMONW EALTH GAMESAndrew Bakos. Bond University, 2020, 216 p.
Sustainability has become an increasingly significant issue in the events
industry, especially within the context of planning and staging major
sporting events. The release of the International Organizations forStandardization (ISO) 20121: 2012 – Event sustainability management
systems exemplifies an industry-specific innovation as a solution to thegrowing societal demands for the production of sustainable events.
Empirical analysis of management standards has predominately focusedon the global diffusion of previous ISO standards. Scholars have called
for more research on the early days of diffusion whereby standards are
diffused through a few number of key actors. Given the relatively novel
quality of ISO 20121, there is a current lack of understanding on how
these standards are diffused. This gap in the literature was addressed byanalysing and evaluating the diffusion of ISO 20121 within the host cityof the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

This thesis explores how volunteering at an Olympic event can function
as a catalyst for social innovation for people with intellectual disabilities(ID). People with ID are not usually a part of the sports-event volunteer
context; thus, little is known about potential benefits they can access by
doing so. This thesis contributes to filling this gap in the literature. The
thesis is a qualitative single-case study, using the 2016 Lillehammer
Youth Olympic Games as its main case.

SOCIAL CAPITAL CREATION THROUGH OLYMPICGAMES: THEORETICAL MODELLING AND EVIDENCE
ON OLYMPIC VALUESNathalie Prüschenk. Universität Bayreuth, 2020, 124 p.
The study makes a theoretical and empirical contribution to identify
implications for a potential social capital creation in society throughOlympic Games. The debate on Olympic gigantism and the recent
phenomenon of failed referenda of hosting Olympic Games in western
democracies are the central starting point. Against this background, thequestion arises whether the so-called Olympism, as the ethicalfoundation of the Olympic Movement and the Olympic Games, lost its
appeal within postmodern societies and how to regain or enhance theesteem of the Olympic values. Fostering Olympism, which is rooted inhumanism, in the spectators’ perception could be an effective instrument
to generate and enlarge social trust and, thus, to create social capital.

AND W INTER PARALYMPIC G AMES
Ian Brittain. In: Journal of the Paralympic research group, vol.12,
September 2019, pp. 41-67.
Alongside the issues of health, inclusion and empowerment that are
addressed as part of the sport for development agenda, the most visible
challenge faced by the IPC, with direct significance to its legitimacy as

ArticleTHE PARADOX CONCERNING DISABILIT Y SPORTS:
EXPLO RING CHALLENGES F ACING THE
PARALYMPICS
Kazuo Ogoura. In: Journal of the Paralympic research groupVol.12, September 2019, pp. 19-41.
This article analyzes the current status of, and problems related to what
has been described by several researchers as the "Paralympic
Paradox". For example, a disabled athlete may attain success andincrease their name recognition. This may result in increasing theinterest of society at large in the Paralympics, disability sports events,
and related activities and competitions. This process, however, implies
the shift of a disabled athlete from the category of “a disabled person” toone of “an athlete” for whom “having a disability or not is irrelevant”. As aresult, the athlete may be respected but oftentimes considered by many
disabled people as unreachable for the very reason of his or her
success. Therefore, it is not always clear whether the success of an
athlete actually results in encouraging other people with disabilities toparticipate in sports and in expanding the base of participants indisability sports. To put it another way, the moment a disabled athlete“overcomes disability”, the association the athlete has with “disability”
becomes weaker. More generally, this article also looks at the gaps anddisparities found in the Paralympics and disability sports from theperspective of: disparity between medalists and non-medalists;divergence between “athletes” and people with disabilities in general;
disparity among different types of disabilities; the relationship between
disability organizations and disability sports organizations; disparity
between national and local governments; disparity between men andwomen; and disparity among countries.

commercialisation of the Paralympic Games and the increasing visibilityof disability in the media, influenced by the success of Channel 4’s entry
as the United Kingdom’s official Paralympic broadcaster in 2012.
Through an integrated methodological approach, the authors provide ajoined-up evidence base that captures the intentions and practices ofChannel 4’s (C4) broadcasting of the Rio 2016 Paralympics; theinfluence of this on the content of Paralympic coverage; and mediatedforms of disability representation and the wider impact on public attitudes
toward disability. This approach allowed the authors to examine theimportant and influential relationship between Paralympic production

In October 2017, after an 11-year-old battle, the Global Association ofInternational Sports Federation (GAISF) classified pole dancing as aprofessional sport. In this essay, the author argues that pole dancing
should not be included in the Olympic program despite the GAISF
recognizing this activity as a professional sport. Such potential inclusion
contributes to an existing and extensive institutionalized culture ofsexism and hypersexualization at the Olympic Games. Drawing on
existing research on pole dancing and embodiment, he argues that eventhough pole sport requires athletic skill and ability, it should not become
an Olympic event. His overall argument is grounded in thehypersexualized context of pole dance and pole sport, and hedemonstrates that we cannot divorce pole sport from the stripping
culture of exotic and erotic sexual connotations.

One afternoon in 1987, two renegade climbers in Berkeley, California,
hatched an ambitious plan: under the cover of darkness, they would
rappel down from a carefully scouted highway on-ramp, gluing artificial
handholds onto the load-bearing concrete pillars underneath. Equippedwith ingenuity, strong adhesive, and an urban guerilla attitude, Jim
Thornburg and Scott Frye created a serviceable climbing wall. But what
they were part of was a greater development: the expansion andreimagining of a sport now slated for a highly anticipated Olympic debut
in 2020. "High drama" explores rock climbing's transformation from apursuit of select anti-establishment vagabonds to a sport embraced bycompetitors of all ages, social classes, and backgrounds.

This book lifts the lid on the high pressured, complex world of women’sartistic gymnastics. By adopting a socio-cultural lens incorporating
historical, sociological and psychological perspectives, it takes thereader through the story and workings of women’s artistic gymnastics.
Beginning with its early history as a ‘feminine appropriate’ sport, thebook follows the sport through its transition to a modern sports form.
Including global cases and innovative narrative methods, it explores theway gymnasts have experienced its intense challenges, the complexitiesof the coach-athlete relationship, and how others involved in the sport,such as parents and medical personnel, have contributed to thereproduction of a highly demanding and potentially abusive sporting
culture. With the focus on a unique women’s sport, the book is an
important read for researchers and students studying sport sociology,
sport coaching, and physical education, but it is also a valuable resource
for anyone interested in the development of sporting talent.

Sponsorship of individual athletes is not mainly based on intellectual
industrial rights, but rather rests more on personal rights. As they areathletes involved in international competitions, they must adhere to therules of various organisations. If an athlete wants to participate in
Olympic Games, then s/he is obliged to respect the rules of theInternational Olympic Committee and National Olympic Committee, andsign the Olympic Declaration which includes the code of suitability. Rule
40 of the Olympic charter is the key provision which must be respected
throughout the Olympic Games. Acording to the authors, the pressure of
top athletes, particularly from commercial sport, will grow and we can
expect more intensive future discussions at both international andnational levels. IOC and NOC will have to change the approach towards
athletes on the one hand and not disregard the principle of solidarity
towards most athletes who come from underdeveloped parts of the world
and from not so media attractive sports.

Antonio Méndez-Rubio, Javier Lizaga Villarroya. In: Revista latina

When limiting fascism to a time and often, a country (Germany), it isconsidered whether its cultural devices and communicational strategies
are still valid, not as part of a classical fascism, but instead as functional
equivalents that preserve pragmatic features and social conditions. To
this end, the authors analyse the construction of the fascist imaginary inLeni Riefenstahl's documentary Olympia (1938), a film that is a reference
to the sports story as well as to Nazi propaganda. A critical analysis is
made around the concepts of leader and audience. The aim is toestablish projections towards other official films of modern Olympic
Games to question whether there is a point of contact between the massculture, fascism and propaganda.

Wall, and the third period is currently the one we have been living in thelast 30 years, with the political intervention being retreated gradually andthe movement inverting the facts, while imposing its own terms in therelation between sports and politics. The enhancement of the Olympic

THE OLYMPIC G AMES: A CRITICAL APPRO ACH
Helen Jefferson Lenskyj. Emerald Publishing Limited, 2020.
Do the Olympic Games really live up to their glowing reputation? As thebiggest global sport mega-event, the Olympic Games command public
and media attention, while Olympic mythology and ritual obscure theirunderlying function as a profit-making business enterprise. In contrast toterms such as 'Olympic Movement' and 'Olympic family', the concept of'Olympic industry' focuses on sport as an economic and politicalenterprise, its beneficiaries including sponsors, developers, media andpoliticians. Negative impacts on host cities and countries
disproportionately threaten the lives and welfare of disadvantaged
populations, while exploitation of migrant workers remains a chronic
problem. Citizens' resistance campaigns have been addressing theseissues for decades, with some successes. Recent athlete activism
focuses on anti-doping initiatives and sexual abuse of girls and young
women. Female athletes with 'differences of sexual development' aretargets of the discriminatory gender policies of the International
Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) that disqualify them fromwomen's events. The Olympic Games demonstrates how Olympic
industry propaganda conceals all these grim realities.

Jörg Krieger, Michele Krech, Lindsay Parks Pieper. In: Theinternational journal of the history of sport, Ahead of print, 14 May
2020, pp. 1-23.
The International Olympic Committee and the International Associationof Athletics Federations (IAAF) initially ignored women’s sports. The
efforts of female leaders and organizations, particularly Alice Milliat andthe Fédération Sportive Féminine Internationale (FSFI), instead paved
the way for women’s inclusion in Olympic athletics. In response, theIAAF adopted various strategies to gain control over the women’s sport
and its organizing body. The IAAF’s decision to support the inclusion of
women’s events in the Olympics thus stemmed more from its quest to
consolidate authority than from a desire and intention to advance
women’s sport. The IAAF slowly gained control over women’s athletics,
with lasting repercussions on the progression of women in the sport, asboth athletes and administrators.

William P. Cassidy. Palgrave Macmillan, 2019, 118 p.
This book examines sports journalism coverage of the coming out
stories of three prominent women athletes: tennis legend and feminist
icon Billie Jean King, Basketball Hall of Fame member Sheryl Swoopes
and WNBA champion Brittney Griner. When King was outed in 1981 itmarked a pivotal moment in which journalists were forced to discusslesbian athletes in sports for the first time. Swoopes’ 2005 coming out
was hailed as a historic moment due to her status as one of the best
women’s basketball players of all time, while Griner’s casual publicacknowledgment of her sexuality came during what many have called amore receptive environment for gay and lesbian athletes. By directly
analysing and comparing the media attention given to these three
superstars, Cassidy provides a comprehensive overview of how
journalists have historically addressed women and lesbian athletes in
professional sports. This book will appeal to readers interested in sports
journalism, the role of sport in society, and media coverage of gay
athletes.

SOCIOLOGY | SOCIOLOGIEArticleSPO RT IN THE FACE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC:TOW ARDS AN AGENDA FOR RESEARCH IN THE
SOCIOLOG Y OF SPORT
Adam B. Evans… [et al.]. In: European journal for sport andsociety, vol. 17, no. 2, May 2020, pp. 85-95.
The intention of the authors is not to provide answers, commentary or
opinions. Nor is it their intention to ‘get ahead of the game’ by providing
sweeping predictions about what sport will look like in a post-pandemic
world, however tempting that might be. One simply do not know what thelong-term impact of this potentially long-term health threat will have on
sports participation. What they do, however, is to ask questions. Hence,
they aim to mobilise their sociological imaginations by reflecting on theirpersonal troubles in order to situate them within the wider context, andhence to suggest some of the questions that seem relevant to them
(specifically in the sociology of sport) because of the pandemic. In sodoing, they aim to stimulate the development of tentative questions towhich they, as sociologists of sport, should attempt to provide answers
over the coming weeks, months and years.

READ MORESPO RT, W ELFARE AND SOCIAL POLICY IN THE
EURO PEAN UNIO N
Nicola Rinaldo Porro... [et al.]. Routledge, 2020, 178 p.
Sport is often seen as an indicator of the civic maturity of a community,
an aspect of the rights of citizens to health, education and social
integration. This book examines the relationships between participationin sport and physical activity, and welfare policies across Europe. It
argues that the success of campaigns for the promotion of sport dependon the existence of dedicated welfare policies promoted by the European
states and explores variations in cultural models and structures ofgovernance across Europe. Addressing the function of supranational
institutions such as the EU as well as voluntary networks, the bookilluminates key issues in European societies such as migration, financial
austerity and Brexit as they relate to sport policy. This is important
reading for scholars and students in the fields of European sport andphysical activity, sociology, political science and organisational analysis,
as well as operators and managers of the sport systems involved inadvanced training programmes.

TECHNOLOGY | TECHNOLOGIEEMERGING TECHNO LOGIES IN SPORTS:
REIMAG INING THE FAN EX PERIENCE
Capgemini. 2020, 31 p.
The study, using responses from over 10,000 fans around the globe who
regularly watch and follow top sports, has been produced by theCapgemini Research Institute. Their main conclusions are: 1/
Technology is now an integral part of the way fans consume sports(nearly 70% say emerging technologies have enhanced their overall
viewing experience, both inside and outside the stadium). 2/ The
digitization of sport and the fan experience can strengthen engagement,
building brand value and driving new avenues of growth. 3/ To adopt andoptimize emerging technologies in sports, organizations should reassurefans about how their personal data is used to build trust, identify theneeds and expectations of fans and users before deploying newtechnologies, convert more casual fans into avid fans, and enhance thevalue of the out-of-stadium experience to tap into the huge audience that
consumes sports outside of the stadium.
