6- COMMERCIALIZATION
Commercialization of the Olympic Games
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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.

THE OLYMPIC SYMBOLS
•RINGS AND FLAG•TORCH AND FLAME
•MEDALS•MOTTO
•OLIVE WREATH•MASCOT
RINGS AND FLAG
•The flag includes five rings coloured - blue, black, red,
yellow and green.
•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.
FLAME AND TORCH
•The flame is lit in
ancient Olympia, Greece and
is then transported,
mostly by foot, to the site
where the next Olympics are
held.
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.
And the final carrier lit the olympic flame in the stadium and this flame is kept alight for the entire length of the
games.
THE MEDALS
The medals awarded to first, second and third place are a major
feature of the Olympics. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals are
awarded.
MOTTOThe Olympic motto is "Citius,
Altius, Fortius." These three Latin words mean “Faster, Higher,
Stronger."
OLIVE WREATH
Another important symbol is the Olive Wreath
(also called ‘kotinos').
This is a branch of olive tree
formed into a circle. This was
the ancient award for Olympic
champions.
You may think that a branch of a tree was a ‘cheap’ award,
however, the olive tree was sacred to ancient Greeks.
OLYMPİC MASCOTThe Olympic Mascot, an
animal or human figure
representing the cultural heritage
of the host country, was introduced
in 1968.

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.
Competitions also be an issue of an effort which reflects ethnic, nationalist, religious and political fight.
POLITICS
TERRORİSM AND VİOLENCE
The reason of the violence in sport is that the society and individuals do not perceive sport as a single game.
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.
The reasons of violence in sports• Social reasons• Individual reasons• Legal reasons
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.
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.
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.
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.

IOC rules for citizenship
The Olympic Charter requires that an athlete be a national of the country they compete for.
Dual nationals may compete for either country, as long as three years have passed between when the
competitor competed for his former country.
However, if the NOCs and IF involved agree, the IOC
Executive Board may reduce or cancel this period.
This waiting period exists only for those who previously competed for one nation and want to
compete for another.
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.
The IOC is only concerned with issues of citizenship and nationality after individual nations have granted
citizenship to athletes.
Reasons for changing citizenship
Sometimes, athletes become citizens of new nations solely for the purpose of competing in the
Olympics.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Not only was there the novelty of having a tropical country compete in a cold-weather sport, but they had very little practice going down a bobsled track before, and they borrowed spare sleds from other countries to compete. In a show of worldly brotherhood, other bobsledders were quick to give them guidance and support.
