Ukrainian Athletes as Autonomous Agents of National Resistance
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has transformed elite sport into a stage for national resistance where athletes act as independent political agents. We adopt an interpretive qualitative method and constructivist framework to evaluate the communicative power of three Ukrainian athletes in athletics, fencing and tennis. By conceptualising the ‘alternative front’, the research identifies how athlete-led agency functions as ‘diplomacy from below’ thr…
Testing Boundaries
In 1971, Danish medical scientists from Aarhus University publicly opposed the use of a sex chromatin test to establish eligibility in women’s sport. Their protest rested on scientific grounds; they argued that sex could not be determined by a single biological criterion and warned of the psychological harm it would cause competitors with chromosomal variations. Buoyed by public support in Denmark, the medical scientists submitted a formal memora…
National Symbols at the Olympic Games
This provocative book makes the case for the complete removal of national symbolism in the Olympic Games. Focusing on the case of national flags at the Olympic Games, it explores the history of national symbols at the Olympics and asks what this issue can tell us about the politicisation of sport in the twenty-first century. Drawing on multi-disciplinary research from history, political science and sociology, and exploring the link between histor…

Time Out
This paper examines the impact of the first Covid-19 lockdown in Ireland on Gaelic games and the sports-media complex in Ireland via an analysis of the media discourses surrounding these sports. It focuses principally on the period between March 12th (when the Irish government announced the lockdown confirming the suspension of Gaelic games fixtures) and May 12th. Gaelic games provide a unique focus on the topic of sport and the lockdown; they ar…
Women in International Elite Athletics
Gender discrimination has been strongly related to the suppression of women's participation in sport. Accordingly, gender (in)equality has proven to be an important determinant for the participation and the success of countries in international women's elite sport. Hence, differences in gender (in)equalitity, such as women's participation in the labor force, fertility rates, tradition of women suffrage or socio-economic status of women, could be …
Who Governs a Movement? The Iaaf and Road-Running—Historical and Contemporary Considerations
During the 1970s and the 1980s, road-running experienced an extraordinary growth in terms of participants and running events. Even though the runners mainly participated for reasons of well-being and fitness, and less for competition, the world governing body of track and field, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), attempted to govern and profit off the running movement from the end of the 1970s onward. This paper utiliz…

Historical sources from the International Association of Athletics Federations Archives in Monaco and the Carl and Liselott Diem-Archive of the German Sport University Cologne in Germany are examined. Considered the biggest mass sport event of all time, Sport Aid built on the success of the much more f…

Fastest, highest, youngest? Analysing the athlete's experience of the Singapore Youth Olympic Games
The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) are the newest addition to the Olympic Movement and, in light of recent discussions of the education of high-performance athletes, represent a change within the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from a philosophy of 'winning by all means' to a philosophy much more informed by education. Therefore, this paper analyses the YOG through the experiences of participating athletes and puts their perception of the event …
