Olympiske traditioner - en gang bræk !
Fra : cpeter


Dato : 11-06-07 08:49

Nu slår IOC til igen :

"Backpacks, caps and other licensed products for the 2008 Beijing
Olympics are being made in Chinese factories that use child labour and
force employees to work long hours for less than minimum wage, a
report released yesterday said."

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/asia/article2643021.ece

selv om de i sin tid blev advaret mod netop dette.

Men hvad kan man forvente af en organisation, som under Samaranch (en
rigtig "realpolitiker", med rige traditioner fra det spanske Franco-
regime) simpelthen plejede at sælge de Olympiske Lege til den by, som
tilbød flest penge til komiteens medlemmer, eller som syntes at det
var i orden at samarbejde med Uday Hussein - Saddams søn - som var
formand for den irakiske olympiske komite, og personligt torturerede
de irakiske atleter som forsømte at vinde.

Rings, torch have ties to Hitler's Nazi propaganda

By William J. Kole The Associated Press - ATHENS, Greece -

The most beloved emblems of the modern Olympics have a decidedly dark past.

The torch relay that culminates in the ceremonial lighting of the flame at
Olympic stadium was ordered by Adolf Hitler, who tried to turn the 1936
Berlin Games into a celebration of the Third Reich.

And it was Hitler's Nazi propaganda machine that popularized the five
interlocking rings as the symbol of the Games.

Today, both are universally recognized icons of the Olympics.
But historians say neither had much, if anything, to do with the
Games born centuries ago in Ancient Olympia.

"The torch relay is so ingrained in the modern choreography
that most people today assume it was a revival of a pagan tradition
- unaware that it was actually concocted for Hitler's Games in Berlin,"
author Tony Perrottet writes in a new book, The Naked Olympics.

The modern tradition of spiriting the Olympic torch to the main stadium
didn't become a fixture of the Games until 1936, when a 12-day run
opened the Games in Berlin.
The Olympic rings, another universally recognized symbol of the games
since they made their debut in 1920 at Antwerp, Belgium, have their own Nazi connection.

Originally, they were designed in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, founder
of the IOC and father of the modern Olympic movement, for a 1914
World Olympic Congress in Paris. They were supposed to symbolize
the first five Olympics, but the congress disbanded when Archduke
Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in Sarajevo, triggering World War I.

Leni Riefenstahl, the Olympia filmmaker who also chronicled Hitler's rise
to power, had the rings carved into a stone altar at the ancient Greek
city of Delphi, spawning the myth that they were a symbol dating more than two millennia.

With Hitler's influence, the rings became part of the Nazi pageantry at Berlin
- and they've come to symbolize the Olympics ever since.

Interessante oplysninger. Du er altid god for en ny vinkel på ting, man
troede man vidste noget om.

Var spændt på, om noget, som IKKE omhandler indvandrere, overhoved
ville afføde en respons - så tak for det.

Men ellers ja - de holder de "stolte" traditioner kørende. Det er til
at brække sig over, synes jeg.
