DOCUMENTS 100 PER CENT OSC MADE: THE OSC REFERENCE COLLECTION
The Olympic Studies Centre's “OSC Reference Collection” brings together a series of documents providing key historical facts and figures related to different aspects of the Olympic Games and the IOC. Thanks to the expertise of our researchers, it is permanently fact-checked and updated with new figures, especially after Games time, but also throughout the whole year. Below, we present to you three brand new documents which have enriched this collection:
THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT, THE IOC AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES AT A GLANCE
Find all you need to know about the IOC, the Olympic Movement and the Olympic Games in this single reference document, including the role of these different parties as well as many useful facts and figures on each edition of the Olympic Games. It is available in English, French and Spanish.
THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE – A HOME AWAY FROM HOME
The Olympic Village is a key element in the organisation and success of the Games. It brings together the world’s athletes in a unique location, and offers them an accommodation solution adapted to their needs during the final phase of their preparation. It is the fruit of an evolution process inseparably linked to that of the Olympic Games. If you are interested in this topic, you must not miss this new reference document, with images and information on all Olympic Winter Games Villages from Oslo 1952 to PyeongChang 2018, including key data on each village, the services on offer and what they were transformed into after the Games were over.
DEMONSTRATION SPORTS – ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
What do freestyle skiing, curling and short-track speed skating have in common? They were all demonstration sports at the Olympic Winter Games before being accepted as part of the official sports programme of the Games! While there haven’t been any winter demonstration sports since 1992, there is plenty to discover about those that previously featured at the Games. Find it all in our in our new reference document, Demonstration Sports: History at the Olympic Winter Games, including some events that may surprise you! Skijöring, anyone?
