Analysis of Ukrainian athletes’ results at the XXXII Olympiad Games allows pointing out the factors of the weak performance of Ukrainian athletes in women's individual saber and epee competitions, as well as men's team epee competitions, despite the possibility of winning medals in these sports events according to many analysts including those of Infostrada Sports and other sports statistics experts. These, in our opinion, include an unsatisfactory level of efficiency of the process of reaching the peak of readiness for the Olympic Games; lack of psychological stability of athletes at the competitions; weak tactical preparation of some athletes. Based on the performances of athletes of the Ukrainian fencing team in Tokyo, a conclusion was made about the unsatisfactory level of athletes’ preparation for the XXXII Olympic Games. Only 20% of the national team members were able to realize their potential at the XXXII Olympic Games. The dynamics of the athletes’ results at the World Championships 2017 – 2019 indicates the need to use in the new Olympic cycle the planning, which is focused on our athletes reaching the peak of readiness for the Olympics: at first, the training should be aimed at the maximum stimulation of the growth of sportsmanship, whereas at the final stage it should be focused on its realization in the major competitions. It is shown that despite the unsuccessful performance of the Ukrainian fencing team in the Olympic Tokyo, this type of martial arts has significant potential for improving sports achievements at the XXXIII Olympic Games 2024 in Paris. It is noted that in the new Olympic cycle it is of crucial importance to identify candidates for the XXXIII Olympic Games as soon as possible and to create all the conditions for their full-fledged preparation. Thus, to ensure further winning medal places at the Olympic Games, it is necessary to improve the system of sports training in the Olympic cycle, which envisages participation in numerous competitions during the year to achieve a high level of readiness in the major competitions of triennial – the Olympic Games.

RESUMO O movimento de passageiros nos aeroportos está em crescimento, como consequência principal tem-se: os congestionamentos na rede viária e a deteriorização da qualidade ambiental no seu entorno. Mundialmente, o acesso aeroportuário já é considerado um componente crítico. Os administradores dos principais aeroportos internacionais (Europa e Estados Unidos) trabalham para melhorias neste acesso que é feito basicamente por automóveis. A opção é a implantação do transporte de alta capacidade sustentável. No Brasil, apesar dos investimentos no setor estarem impulsionados pelos dois megaeventos que se aproximam, Copa do Mundo de 2014 e Olimpíadas de 2016, não se observa uma preocupação das autoridades competentes com a acessibilidade a este Pólo Gerador de Viagens. Este artigo aborda a complexidade deste tema e tem como objetivo elencar alguns elementos básicos  para tratar o problema de acessibilidade terrestre no setor aeroportuário, mostrando que a divisão modal com foco nos transportes de alta capacidade é uma alternativa possível na redução dos congestionamentos e dos impactos ambientais desta infraestrutura.   ABSTRACT The passengers movements are growing at the airports. The bottlenecks and the environmental depletion at neighborhood is the main consequence. The access at the airport is already a worldwide problem. Managers of the main international airports (Europe and United States) are working to improve the accessibility and reduce the use of car. The option is the sustainable transport of high capacity. In Brazil, investments in the sector are growing due the two mega-events – the World Cup and the Olympic Games; however, the accessibility is not yet an issue perceived by the authorities. This article approaches the complexity of this theme. The goal is to point some basic indicators to treat the problem of land accessibility in the airport area, and highlights the modal division with focus in the transport of high capacity. This is an alternative possible to reduce the congestion and the environmental impacts caused by this infrastructure.

The authors estimate the effect of hosting the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016 on Brazilian international travel receipts. Results show that the World Cup generated an increase of about 50% in receipts during the 2 months of the event, while the estimated effect of the Olympics was an increase of about 28% during 1 month. In the month after the events, there was a fall of almost the same amount, and no effect of the previous rise in receipts was detected 2 months after the events. Therefore, these effects were immediate and short-lived.

Abstract. Background: Several studies found a significant relationship between important sport events and suicidal behavior. Aims: We set out to investigate whether there is a significant relationship between the raw suicide rate and the most important international sports events (Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Championship) in such an achievement-oriented society as the Hungarian one, where these sport events receive great attention. Method: We examined suicide cases occurring over 15,706 days between January 1, 1970, and December 31, 2012 (43 years), separately for each gender. Because of the age-specific characteristics of suicide, the effects of these sport events were analyzed for the middle-aged (30–59 years old) and the elderly (over 60 years old) generations as well as for gender-specific population groups. The role of international sport events was examined with the help of time-series intervention analysis after cyclical and seasonal components were removed. Intervention analysis was based on the ARIMA model. Results: Our results showed that only the Olympic Games had a significant effect in the middle-aged population. Neither in the older male nor in any of the female age groups was a relationship between suicide and Olympic Games detected. Conclusion: The Olympic Games seem to decrease the rate of suicide among middle-aged men, slightly but significantly.
