It is late summer 2013. Ben Ryan, a red-haired, 40-something, spectacle-wearing Englishman, is given 20 minutes to decide whether he wants to coach Fiji's rugby sevens team, with the aim of taking them to the nation's first-ever Olympic medal. He has never been to Fiji. There has been no discussion of contracts or salary. But he knows that no one plays rugby like the men from these isolated Pacific islands, just as no one plays football like the kids from the Brazilian favelas, or no one runs as fast as the boys and girls from Jamaica's boondocks.

In ancient Greece and across the Mediterranean, kingdoms strive for dominance. The great powers of Carthage and Egypt look on with avarice as the might of the Greeks is spent warring between themselves, oblivious to external dangers. Year in and year out, the people suffer at the hands of their rulers and the famine and pestilence that comes with conflict. The great rulers of the day are themselves helpless to end this cycle of destruction. While life on the battlefield is cheap, the slave trade flourishes through the years of interminable battle and death.

Eager to celebrate its history, and display its athletic potential, the United States hosted the nation’s first Olympic games in 1904 St. Louis. But within a few years, the publication of Coubertin’s memoirs turned the praised Olympics into the failed Olympics. America’s First Olympics corrects common misconceptions that began with Coubertin’s memoirs, and presents a fresh view of the 1904 games, which featured first-time African American Olympians, an eccentric and controversial marathon, and documentation by pioneering photojournalist Jessie Tarbox Beals.

"Athletes first" is a slogan the International Olympic Committee often touts, but the reality is very different, as preeminent Olympics expert Jules Boykoff shows in this book. While the world’s attention is riveted by the triumphs and tribulations on their screens, there is much that goes on behind the scenes that is deeply troubling: athletes are increasingly voicing concerns over physical, mental and sexual abuse, and they are collectively expressing grievances around equity and human rights.

The Olympics are the world’s most prestigious stage for athletic competition. Fans both casual and hardcore tune in religiously every few years to watch as men and women push themselves to the limits of human performance. But what makes a champion? Is it genetics? Hours of training? A psychological advantage? Of all the athletes who dedicate their lives - and bodies - to achieving that perfect moment of triumph, why will one person or team win out over another? Science has some compelling answers, and in this audiobook, Scientific American explores this topic from various angles.

Story0
5 settembre 1972, ore 4:30, villaggio olimpico di Monaco di Baviera. Un commando palestinese di Settembre nero fa irruzione negli alloggi della squadra israeliana. Comincia così la pagina più tragica della storia delle Olimpiadi e si concluderà 20 ore dopo con 17 morti. In quella squadra c'è anche Shaul Ladany, marciatore che, bambino, fu deportato a Bergen-Belsen, il campo in cui morì Anna Frank. Per la seconda volta Ladany sopravvive alla Storia. La sua vita è stata una lunga sequenza di passi, quasi un Forrest Gump che ha attraversato il XX secolo.

Olympia - die Stätte ist zum Inbegriff des antiken Sports geworden. Lebendige Schilderungen lassen uns Anteil nehmen an dem Vollzug der Riten und bringen uns die Atmosphäre in den Sportarenen nahe. Noch immer gibt uns Olympia viele Rätsel auf: Wer gründete dieses Heiligtum - und warum? Wann und unter welchen Bedingungen erlosch das Feuer auf dem Zeusaltar? Warum sind - trotz des sogenannten "olympischen Friedens" - gerade hier so viele Rüstungen und Kriegsgeräte versammelt wie nirgends sonst in Griechenland? Ein faszinierendes Feature, das umfassend einführt in eine versunkene Welt.

Lorsqu'il édita ces Mémoires olympiques, Pierre de Coubertin avait 69 ans en 1931. Ce livre est particulièrement utile pour comprendre l'Esprit des Jeux Olympiques de l'ère moderne tels qu'ils ont été recréés sous l'impulsion de Pierre de Coubertin. Car Pierre de Coubertin dut batailler ferme avant de pouvoir imposer son œuvre qui s'inscrit dans un contexte politique précis dont on retrouve la trace dans son récit.
