Abstract [en]

Routledge Handbook of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, edited by Dikaia Chatziefstathiou, Borja García & Benoit Séguin (Routledge) presents new research and broad surveys exploring pressing debates, challenges and possible solutions surrounding the modern Olympic and Paralympic Games, across diverse socioeconomic and political contexts. Our reviewer Björn Sandahl contends that the handbook serves as a rich introduction to its field of study and thus should be of great interest to students and the interested general public.

Abstract [en]

The chapters in Sporting Cultures: Global Perspectives (MMU Sport and Leisure History) arose from the 4th International Colloquium for Sport History held at Manchester Metropolitan University, Crewe, in spring 2018. The collection is edited by Nick Piercey & Samantha-Jayne Oldfield, and it is reviewed here by Swedish sport historian Björn Sandahl. Our reviewer finds that the collection successfully challenges traditional approaches to sport history.

Abstract [sv]

Alla som är intresserade av idrott har förmodligen på något vis en relation till de olympiska spelen. Som den största och därmed främsta av alla idrottsevenemang, möjligen undantaget världsmästerskapen i fotboll, har de olympiska spelen analyserats sönder och samman ur ett antal olika perspektiv. Mindre är dock skrivet om en faktor som förmodligen funnits på näthinnan hos alla dem som följt Sveriges framgångar och motgångar i de olika evenemangen, nämligen: finns det en framgångsmodell för OS? Den frågan försöker Danyel Reiche svara på i Success and Failure of the Countries at the Olympic Games.

Abstract [sv]

Björn Sandahl har tagit sig an antologin The Youth Olympic Games sammanställd av Dag Vidar Hanstad, Milena M. Parent & Barrie Houlihan (Routledge). Kanske något prematur, definitivt något spretig och med diffus målgrupp, är boken ändå ett innehållsrikt, viktigt och välkommet bidrag till den olympiska avknoppningsforskningen.
