Winter Olympic Games

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) lacks candidates willing to host the Olympic Games (OG) and has reacted to this situation by introducing the Olympic Agenda 2020 (OA)—a reform process making the OG more attractive for potential hosts. This study analyzes whether the OA plays a crucial role for the future of the OG. We, therefore, examined the official IOC documents and feasibility studies of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games (WOG) bidders and conducted qualitative interviews with experts in the field (n = 15). The results reveal that the 2026 WOG hosts plan to reduce the budgets for the organization and the infrastructure costs in the host regions. As a consequence, the number and nature of the sites and venues as well as the distances between them will increase. This means that the future Olympic heritage (OH) may lay less in iconic buildings but rather focus on the attempt to fulfil the city’s long-term strategies. Our analyses extend the literature by: (1) analysing the OA in view of future OG, (2) comparing experiences from past OG with those of current bidders, (3) integrating expert knowledge thanks to qualitative interviews and, finally, (4) considering new heritage concepts.

Visible or Invisible Games? A Critique on the Future of the World GamesAs the crowded calendar of world sport and the increasing competition between sporting festivals is likely to affect more second-tier global sporting festivals than the Olympic Games (Cashman 2004, p. 134), this paper attempts to answer a few questions concerning the future of the World Games, i.e. a multi-sport mega event. The first and primary question is whether it is worthwhile to host the World Games. In this paper reasoned justification will be provided with a critical eye. Furthermore, questions will be raised about the when and particularly about the where. The content of the World Games' programs will be briefly discussed and critically evaluated as well. As an example the author will use the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for discussion.

Artiklen vurderer på baggrund af med Team Danmarks resultatkontrakter med Kulturministeriet og Team Danmarks efterspørgsel efter flere penge til elitearbejdet, den danske position i den internationale elitesportskapløb og indetificerer de problemstillinger, som organiseringen af dansk eliteidræt står over for. The Danish Standings in the International Sporting Arms Race – Post BeijingThe development within international elite sport has launched a global sporting arms race. As pointed out by international scholars, more and more countries develop medal capability investing ever more resources in the fight for international success. This international trend has affected the Danish context resulting in a growing political focus on international results. On the basis of the recent Danish rankings in the Olympic Games in China, the debate on Danish elite sport has intensified. Although the number of Danish medals reached the goal set for the games, the Danish elite sport organization, Team Denmark, subsequently demanded more capital for elite sport development claiming that without increased resources, Denmark will face decreasing results in the future. This article analyses the Danish position in the international sporting arms race together with identifying the challenges of Danish elite sport. Including identified factors of international sporting success, a brief performance analysis of the Danish model is carried out. Finally the appropriateness of increased funding for Team Denmark is discussed.
