To render that study, the professional participation as physiotherapist, the contact with the sport, specifically with Olympic athletes and aged people, they were fundamental and of great motivation for the accomplishment of the same. The accomplishment of the research felt by nature qualitative, being used the oral history, starting from the personal deposition technique for the data s collection from 7 athletes' Olympic medals, in the age group from 63 to 80 years. The results of the study showed that experience of sports was lived intensely by those subjects from the childhood to the adult age, to the point of to constitute a specific and unforgettable moment to them arise to the podium for us to receive their medals, which it will never be forgotten. The reflections of those experiences accompany their life paths, interacting in their decisions. The outstanding meaning of that path took them conserve her alive their glorious memoirs through the rescue along the life and now more frequently in the old age. In that way, they allow to value them the past to the detriment of a present that doesn't answer to their self-esteem needs, love and the valorization of the experiences in family and social level. / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo resgatar através da memória de idosos que foram atletas medalhistas olímpicos, lembranças referentes a experiências por eles vividas e, a partir de interpretações, compreender as percepções, sentimentos e significados dessas experiências vivenciadas para eles, assim como, a sua conservação e evocação ao longo da vida e na fase do envelhecimento. Para concretizar esse estudo, a participação profissional como fisioterapeuta, o contato com o esporte, especificamente com atletas olímpicos e idosos, foram fundamentais e de grande motivação para a realização do mesmo. A realização da pesquisa deu-se por natureza qualitativa, utilizando-se a história oral, a partir da técnica de depoimento pessoal para a coleta dos dados de 7 atletas medalhistas olímpicos, na faixa etária de 63 a 80 anos. Os resultados do estudo mostraram que essa experiência no esporte foi vivida intensamente por esses sujeitos desde a infância até a idade adulta, a ponto de se constituir um momento específico e inesquecível ao subirem ao pódio para receberem suas medalhas, o qual jamais foi esquecido. As reflexões dessas experiências acompanham suas trajetórias de vida, interagindo em suas decisões. O significado marcante dessa trajetória levou-os a conservarem vivas suas memórias gloriosas através do resgate ao longo da vida e agora, com maior freqüência, na velhice. Dessa forma, lhes permitem valorizar o passado em detrimento de um presente que não responde às suas necessidades de auto-estima, amor e da valorização das experiências em nível familiar e social.

The motive of our study was to examine the differences and the similarities between how tabloids write about male versus female cross-country skiing participants. The main focus was to examine their adversities and successes at the Olympics in Pyeongchang 2018. The study had two main questions to analyze this: “How does Swedish tabloids report about the female and male cross-country skiing teams at the Olympics in Pyeongchang 2018?” and “How do Swedish tabloids report about the setbacks and successes regarding the Swedish cross-country skiing teams at the Olympics in Pyeongchang 2018?”. The result of our discourse analysis showed us that the tabloids present the female national team’s performance differently to how they present the male national team's performance. We made a discourse analysis of nine different articles from the Swedish tabloids Aftonbladet and Expressen. The tabloids write about the female national team’s performances and successes and they balance it by also writing about their setbacks. The reasoning we found as to why the tabloids writes about female athletes more in-depthly than the men is because there is a larger demand for it, owing to their huge success in the Olympics.In contrary, the articles about the male national team, the tabloids write about their setbacks without questioning underlying factors or previous training that could be the basis of their failures. The tabloids also choose to publish articles with more private themes when it comes to the female athletes. This does not occur in the articles about the male cross country national team. In the articles about the men, the tabloids choose not to include personal facts of any kind, all analysed articles deal instead with performance or setback related types of themes.

The dilemma of diversity is the tension that exists when prescriptive claims are required across reasonable pluralism. Scholar and philosopher Dwight Boyd believes that the dilemma of diversity must be addressed for the continued health of multicultural societies, and suggests that the solution can be found through democratic reciprocity. Though the International Olympic Committee (IOC) markets unity and peace through its Olympic Games, does the Olympics relieve the dilemma of diversity? By critically examining the IOC’s historic and recent treatment of Aboriginals, its encouragement of divisive nationalism, and its educational programs, it is clear that the IOC does not embrace reasonable pluralism. The IOC’s public pedagogy is one that conceals its dominance through diversity. In exposing this dominance, I will argue that the IOC must embrace democratic reciprocity that allows for conversation across difference. Adopting an authentic acceptance of difference will alleviate the IOC’s propagation of Western ideology through neo-imperialism.

Due to the excitement and prestige surrounding the Olympics, international perceptions of hosting the Games are positive and the Olympics are thought to bring prosperity and economic benefits to the host country. However this paper insists that hosting the Olympic Games is actually more detrimental to the host country than beneficial. Though each Games is different and every host country has the opportunity to create a positive Games, the negative aspects of hosting the Games create a difficult environment for any country to host a successful Games. Due to the negative effects of the Olympics on national unity, economic impact and international legitimacy, hosting the Olympics is a losing gamble for Olympic host nations.

Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Reflecting a general trend in modern society, the world of sport has become information driven, with effective information management becoming an essential part of all sports organisations and sporting activities. The sophistication oflarge, multi-sport events - mega-games - such as the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games demand a high standard of information management to help ensure the smooth running of such events. This is also true of the managing of national teams participating in them. In this thesis a model of an information management system (IMS) is developed for managing certain types of information in such events and the national team participating in them. The model is based on two conceptual frameworks: Intellectual capital, and secondly the information management cycle. The model is then tested using a number of case studies where a specific information management system was used to manage the information of different sports teams and events. The degree to which the information management system was effectively implemented in each case is evaluated and the results used to measure the correctness and accuracy of the model. Lastly suggestions are given as to how the model can be improved in view of the case study findings, and what the future role of information management in sports events may look like in light of the results. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die feit dat inligtingsbestuur 'n noodsaaklike deel geword het in sport organisasies en aktiwiteite is 'n weerspieeling van 'n algemene tendens in die moderne, informasie-gedrewe samelewing. Die ingewikkeldheid van groot, multi-sport byeenkomste - "mega-games" - soos die Olimpiese Spele en die Gemeenskapspele vereis 'n hoe standaard van inligtingsbestuur om te verseker dat sulke byeenkomste glad verloop. Dieselfde geld in die geval van die bestuur van die nasionale spanne wat daaraan deelneem. In hierdie tesis word 'n inligtingbestuursmodel ontwikkelom sekere tipes inligting van verskillende sportbyeenkomste en nasionale sportspanne te bestuur. Die model is geskoei op twee konseptueie raamwerke: Intellekteuie kapitaal, en tweedens die inligtingsbestuursiklus. Die model word getoets deur middel van 'n aantal gevallestudies waartydens 'n besondere inligtingstelsel gebruik is on sportspanne en byeenkomste se inligting mee te bestuur. Die mate waartoe die inligtingbestuurstelsel effektief geimplementeer is word ge-evalueer en die resultate gebruik om die korrektheid en akkuraatheid van die model te meet. Ten slotte word voorstelle gemaak oor hoe die model verbeter kan word in die lig van die gevallestudiebevindinge, en wat die moontlike toekomstige rol van inligtingsbestuur by sportbyeenkomste kan wees in lig van die bevindinge.

Tittle: Freestyle BMX and Summer Olympic Games Objectives: The main aim of this thesis is the analysis process of Freestyle BMX acceptance to the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics with evalution. In addition, this thesis defines the historical movement of the Freestyle BMX candacy and evaluate the conditions (criteria) setted by the International Olympic Committee for the adoption of new sports into the Olympic Games program. Methods: This thesis is a theoretical work that has a descriptive and analytical character so the main method is an analysis and study of documents, literature and web sources. The information was analyzed and comprehensively processed. Results: Results indicate that Freestyle BMX didn't satisfy all the criteria for acceptance of a new sport into the Olympic Games program. Freestyle BMX should not be accepted according to the criteria set into the Olympic Games program. Freestyle BMX was accepted on the basis of other facts according to this information. Probably this has been achieved on the basis of an evaluation of the popularity sport. Keywords: Sport, Cyclist, Cyclist discipline, Freestyle BMX, Olympics, Summer Olympic Games, Tokyo 2020

The goal is to understand the implications of using live streaming on news production and journalistic practices from concepts such as mobility, mobile journalism, post-industrial journalism and actants. The research is theoretically and methodologically based on the Actor-Network Theory, through the method of Cartography of Controversies, to trace actions of the human and non-human actants present in said coverage and to describe their actions as mediators or intermediaries in the sociotechnical associations that generate the analyzed transmissions. As a result, we observe a reconfiguration in the journalist's role, which is to perform new functions, as well as a greater participation of the public in the construction of narratives, and also the growth of non-human actors such as algorithms, Facebook platforms, smartphones and infrastructure of internet connection networks. / Esta pesquisa apresenta um estudo exploratório e descritivo sobre a cobertura jornalística das Olimpíadas Rio 2016 realizada pelo canal SporTV através da plataforma de transmissão de vídeos ao vivo Facebook Live via smartphone. O objetivo é compreender as implicações do uso do live streaming sobre a produção da notícia e das práticas jornalísticas a partir de conceitos como mobilidade, jornalismo móvel, jornalismo pós-industrial e actantes. A pesquisa fundamenta-se teórica e metodologicamente na Teoria Ator-Rede para, através do método de Cartografia de Controvérsias, rastrear ações dos actantes humanos e não-humanos presentes na referida cobertura e descrever suas atuações como mediadores ou intermediários nas associações sociotécnicas que geram as transmissões analisadas. Como resultados observamos uma reconfiguração na atuação do jornalista, que passa a desempenhar novas funções, bem como uma maior participação do público na construção das narrativas e também o crescimento da atuação de atores não-humanos como algoritmos, plataformas do Facebook, o smartphone e a infraestrutura de redes de conexão de internet.
