10 CHANGES AND ADAPTATIONS After the success of the 1896 Games, the Olympics entered a period of stagnation that threatened their survival.

11 CHANGES AND ADAPTATIONS The Olympic Games held at the Paris Exposition in 1900 The Games at Paris did not have a stadium; but was notable for being the first time women took part in the Games.

12 CHANGES AND ADAPTATIONS When the St. Louis Games were celebrated roughly 650 athletes participated, but 580 were from the United States.The homogeneous nature of these celebrations was a low point for the Olympic Movement.

19 Olympic Games promotes the host to a Globally known city

20 5- INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

21 INTERNATIONAL OLYMPICS COMMITTEE IS THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT

29 6- COMMERCIALIZATION

30 Commercialization of the Olympic Games

31 Until the year 1972, the International Olympic Committee refused money from corporate sponsors. After the retirement of President Avery Brundage, the IOC began seriously considering the potential of television advertising markets that were being made available for it. The Olympic brand had managed to grow very big and many international sponsors wished to promote their products with its help.

32 Under the suitable guidance of Juan Antonio Samaranch, the IOC harnessed the entire potential of the television. Till the year 1972, the IOC was run on a very meager budget. Avery Brundage, the president of the IOC from the year 1952 to the year 1972, refused to open the IOC’s doors to commercial sponsors because he believed that because of their influence, the decision making authority of the IOC would be mitigated.

33 When he retired, the total amount of assets the IOC had was $2 million. However, after 1972, there was complete change in the way of thinking amongst the members of the IOC. In the next eight years, they managed to accumulate assets worth $45 million. In the year 1980, Juan Antonio Samaranch was elected president of the IOC and he had an aim of making the IOC financially independent.

34

35 The Summer Olympics of the year 1984 witnessed a revolutionary change in the amount of money generated by the Organizing Committee. The committee managed to amass a total surplus of $225 million via sponsorship deals. The IOC then looked for the possession of the sponsorship rights. Samaranch started a new program called TOP (The Olympic Program) in order to increase the Olympic brand value. To acquire a membership in TOP, a company has too shell out $50 million for four years. If a company becomes a member, then it has the right to use the Olympic symbol i.e. the intersecting rings, in its advertisements.

36 The Winter Olympics of 1956 were the first Olympic Games to be broadcasted on television to the entire world. Because of the widespread acceptance, the Winter Olympics of 1960 had their rights of broadcasting sold to huge broadcasting networks such as European Broadcasting Union and CBS, who paid heavy sums of money. The sale of broadcasting rights was one of the main reasons because of which the IOC managed to accumulate a huge amount of money. The costs of the rights kept increasing and CBS had to pay a staggering $375 million to obtain the broadcasting rights for the Nagano Olympics of 1998. NBC had to shell out an enormous sum of approximately $3.5 billion in order to broadcast the 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012 games.

39 THE OLYMPIC SYMBOLS

40 RINGS AND FLAG TORCH AND FLAME MEDALS MOTTO OLIVE WREATH MASCOT

41 RINGS AND FLAG

42 The flag includes five rings coloured - blue, black, red, yellow and green.

43 The colours are very important because each of the countries forming the Olympic Family has one of these colours as part of their national flag.

44

45 FLAME AND TORCH

46 The flame is lit in ancient Olympia, Greece and is then transported, mostly by foot, to the site where the next Olympics are held.

47 Runners carry the torch with the Olympic Flame for short distance. This relay ends at the day of the opening ceremony in the central stadium of these Games.

48 And the final carrier lit the olympic flame in the stadium and this flame is kept alight for the entire length of the games.

49 THE MEDALS

50 The medals awarded to first, second and third place are a major feature of the Olympics. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals are awarded.

51 MOTTO The Olympic motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius." These three Latin words mean “Faster, Higher, Stronger."

52 OLIVE WREATH Another important symbol is the Olive Wreath (also called ‘kotinos').

53 This is a branch of olive tree formed into a circle. This was the ancient award for Olympic champions.

54 You may think that a branch of a tree was a ‘cheap’ award, however, the olive tree was sacred to ancient Greeks.

55 OLYMPIC MASCOT The Olympic Mascot, an animal or human figure representing the cultural heritage of the host country, was introduced in 1968.

63 SPORTS AMATEURİSM AND PROFESSİONALİSM

64 AMATEURİSM Amateurism is performing something not for economical matters but for pleasure. Therefore, the amateur can be described as an eager person who does not has an economical expectations.

65

66 Amateur sport can be described as sports which is not done for an income or award. A person who has not the purpose of earning money, plays for pleasure can be described as an amateur player.

67 PROFESSİONALİSM A profesional player acquires a profesion in a branch of sports for an expectation of income.

68 As it is seen, the disdinction between amateur or profesional players depends on the revenue generation in response to sportive activities.

69 The term of profesionality expresses professing for profit instead of having the purpose of fun.

73 OLYMPIC GAMES CONTROVERSİES Nefise HACIBEBEKOĞLU

74 BOYCOTTS Sport has social, psychological and economical impacts both on players and the other sporting actors. In the competitions people do not only become winners or loosers. They also satisfy their economical and social expectations.

75 Competitions also be an issue of an effort which reflects ethnic, nationalist, religious and political fight. POLITIC S

76 TERRORİSM AND VİOLENCE The reason of the violence in sport is that the society and individuals do not perceive sport as a single game.

77 The feeling of winning or losing, the facts which affects players and take players backward or forward seperate sports from games. This is the source of violence in sports.

78 The reasons of violence in sports Social reasons Individual reasons Legal reasons

79 Economical conditions, social environment or family structure can be the sources of individual reasons. Behaving harshly or resorting to violence is not only practiced by economically and socially underdeveloped class.

80 The violence can be because of the society. The individuals who do not injure anybody can behave harshly in groups by the power of supporters and with the confidence of having partners.

81 The violence in sports is not restricted by followers. There are also other factors which can be cause of violence. For instance, the behaviours of security officers, directors, arbiters, media members or the inadequate qualities of sport areas can be other reasons for the violence.

82 Actually, sport does not creates violence. It just mediates people to externalize their instinct of violence. The source of violence is not sport but the people.

101 CITIZENSHIP

102 IOC rules for citizenship Reasons for changing citizenship Citizenship changes and disputes

103 IOC rules for citizenship The Olympic Charter requires that an athlete be a national of the country they compete for.

104 Dual nationals may compete for either country, as long as three years have passed between when the competitor competed for his former country.

105 However, if the NOCs and IF involved agree, the IOC Executive Board may reduce or cancel this period.

106 This waiting period exists only for those who previously competed for one nation and want to compete for another.

107 If an athlete gains a new or second nationality, they do not have to wait any designated amount of time before participating for the new or second nation.

108 The IOC is only concerned with issues of citizenship and nationality after individual nations have granted citizenship to athletes.

109 Reasons for changing citizenship Sometimes, athletes become citizens of new nations solely for the purpose of competing in the Olympics.

110 This usually happens either because people are drawn to sponsorships and training facilities in places like the United States or because an athlete does not qualify in their original country.

111 This is usually because there are many qualified athletes in an athlete’s home country and they want to be able to participate as well as help the team of their new country.

112 Between 1992 and 2008, there were about fifty athletes that have emigrated to the United States to compete on the US Olympic team after having previously competed for another nation.

113 Citizenship changes and disputes One of the most famous cases of changing nationality for the Olympics was Zola Budd, a South African runner who emigrated to the United Kingdom because there was an apartheid-era ban on the Olympics in South Africa.

114 Budd was eligible for British citizenship because her grandfather was born there, but British citizens accused the government of expediting the citizenship process for her.

119 THE ROLE OF OLYMPIC VOLUNTEERS

120 Volunteers have been key to the success of the Olympic Games since they were first used during the 1948 Games in London.

121 They take on a wide variety of roles at the Olympic during the Games: from welcoming visitors to filling in forms,transporting athletes, helping out behind the scenes in the Technology team.

122 Olympic volunteers give their time and energy and that’s the key to the Games' success.

123 They’re called ‘Games makers’

124 16-THE EVOLUTION OF SPORTS THROUGH THE OLYMPICS

125

126 THE EVOLUTION OF SPORTS THROUGH THE OLYMPICS

127 From the long-defunct tug-of-war to the resurrected tennis matches, the Olympics have evolved dramatically over the years while a few elements remain forever a part of the games.

128 The inaugural modern games in 1896 offered nine sports, compared to 28 at the Olympics in London

129 In the intervening decades, various events have come and gone, including baseball, golf, water motorsports and demonstration sports such as ballooning and American football.

130 The number of sports played during the Summer Games has grown dramatically since 1896

131 Sports at the Inaugural modern Olympics The first Modern Olympics in 1896 consisted of nine sports, all of which are currently included in the Summer Games: Athletics Cycling Fencing Gymnastics Shooting Swimming Tennis Weightlifting Wrestling

133 Note that some of these events were not offered during every Summer Olympic Games between their initial appearance and now. For example, tennis was an Olympic sport from 1896 to 1924. It was then removed from Olympic competition. But tennis has been played again at the Olympic level since 1988.

134 Along the way, very few sports have featured in every single Games: athletics, cycling, fencing, gymnastics and swimming. The most recent additions are taekwondo, triathlon and trampolining, all of which were added in 2000. Golf and rugby sevens will make their debuts in 2016. Among the sports that have fallen off the Olympic list are are polo, baseball and tug-of- war
