Vapnichnyi, S., e S. Zhukovskyi. "HOLDING SCHOOL OLYMPIADS ON COMPUTER SCIENCE IN PANDEMIC CONDITIONS". Zhytomyr Ivan Franko state university journal. Рedagogical sciences, n. 3(110) (27 ottobre 2022): 67–84. http://dx.doi.org/10.35433/pedagogy.3(110).2022.67-84.
Abstract (sommario):
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed attitudes to the educational process around the world, including Ukraine. Considering the importance of the Students Olympiad in computer science (CS) for the formation of future IT professionals in Ukraine, it was necessary to quickly develop appropriate approaches and safe formats for all stages of this Olympiad. Based on a survey of organizers, a review of Olympiads in CS in countries such as Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Armenia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Croatia, and the Czech Republic was observed, and the format of the World Olympiad in Singapore was analyzed. Based on the analysis conducted and taking into account the importance of strict observance of all competition rules, including integrity and the importance of social contacts of all participants in the Olympic movement, it was decided that only the online format is insufficient and there was developed a safe format for the third and fourth stages of the competition, that includes a combination of in-person, online and mixed formats. Detailed requirements for each of these formats are formulated. Due to a significant increase in the load on the e-olymp server online verification system, the relevant software has been updated. The article provides detailed information on the holding of all four stages of the All-Ukrainian Students Olympiad in CS in a pandemic condition during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 academic year using established formats and an improved verification system and describes a typical algorithm of the participant's actions. Therefore, new competition rules are detailed and innovative, taking into account unexpected circumstances in the whole world. They were tested and they proved their effectiveness, so they were also used for the finals of the Ukrainian Junior Olympiad in Informatics and the Ukrainian Girls’ Olympiad in Informatics. Since there is uncertainty about the pandemic in Ukraine, the article proposes to apply the proposed rules to hold all future stages of the Olympiad in Informatics during a pandemic at the official level.

Bourgeois, Tiffany. "Setting the Olympic Stage for Cultural Programming: An Examination of Exercises in Soft Power and Instances of Institutional Entrepreneurship during London 2012". Cultural Management: Science and Education 8, n. 1 (28 giugno 2024): 9–26. http://dx.doi.org/10.30819/cmse.8-1.01.
Abstract (sommario):
This article argues the cultural programming of the Olympics is an exercise in soft power and it illumina-tes instances of institutional entrepreneurship using London 2012 as a case. Specifically, it reviews and critiques Joseph Nye’s concept using explicit Olympic examples. The article highlights new organizational formats using work by Steve Maguire, Cynthia Hardy and Thomas Lawrence to examine the structure of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, creation of the opening ceremony, and the World Shake-speare Festival. Using case study methodology, it explores how the International Olympic Committee and local organizing committee engaged with institutional entrepreneurship during the London 2012 Olympics to create new structures for the organizing committee and implement the cultural program-ming to exercise soft power. Ultimately, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralym-pic Games’ new, hybrid public-private structure functioned as a resource for the production and imple-mentation of the Games because it impacted autonomy and accountability, which influenced the com-mittee’s ability to exercise soft power. This work emphasizes how institutional entrepreneurship activi-ties occurs within large organizations like the International Olympic Committee highlights how institu-tions consistently change to reflect the needs of stakeholders, but the goals of the Olympic Games re-main the same.

Wehden, Lars-Ole, e Nathalie Schröer. "Golden news? Analysis of summarizing coverage of the Olympic Winter Games 2018 on German TV". MedienJournal 43, n. 1 (30 luglio 2019): 101–21. http://dx.doi.org/10.24989/medienjournal.v43i1.1795.
Abstract (sommario):
A maximum amount of media coverage is desirable for every sport to attract potential fans, new active members, and sponsors. The Olympic Games draw large audiences and are therefore a chance for niche sports to enter the big media stage. Large time differences between the hosting city and the audiences’ home countries sometimes limit the amount of live coverage viewers can consume – increasing the importance of summarizing coverage formats like bulletins and news shows. This study analyzes this type of coverage about the Olympic Games 2018 on German TV and tries to find predictors for variances in coverage time, with the help of news values theory. Results show that the success of national athletes is by far the strongest predictor, while simplicity, identification, and surprise play a lesser role and tradition and gender seem to make no significant difference in the amount of summarizing coverage a competition yields.

"The System for Integrating Multiplatform Data to Build the Atmospheric Column (SIMBA) Precipitation Observation Fusion Framework". Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology 35, n. 7 (luglio 2018): 1353–74. http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/jtech-d-17-0187.1.
Abstract (sommario):
AbstractResearchers now have the benefit of an unprecedented suite of space- and ground-based sensors that provide multidimensional and multiparameter precipitation information. Motivated by NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission and ground validation objectives, the System for Integrating Multiplatform Data to Build the Atmospheric Column (SIMBA) has been developed as a unique multisensor precipitation data fusion tool to unify field observations recorded in a variety of formats and coordinate systems into a common reference frame. Through platform-specific modules, SIMBA processes data from native coordinates and resolutions only to the extent required to set them into a user-defined three-dimensional grid. At present, the system supports several ground-based scanning research radars, NWS NEXRAD radars, profiling Micro Rain Radars (MRRs), multiple disdrometers and rain gauges, soundings, the GPM Microwave Imager and Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar on board the Core Observatory satellite, and Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor system quantitative precipitation estimates. SIMBA generates a new atmospheric column data product that contains a concomitant set of all available data from the supported platforms within the user-specified grid defining the column area in the versatile netCDF format. Key parameters for each data source are preserved as attributes. SIMBA provides a streamlined framework for initial research tasks, facilitating more efficient precipitation science. We demonstrate the utility of SIMBA for investigations, such as assessing spatial precipitation variability at subpixel scales and appraising satellite sensor algorithm representation of vertical precipitation structure for GPM Core Observatory overpass cases collected in the NASA Wallops Precipitation Science Research Facility and the GPM Olympic Mountain Experiment (OLYMPEX) ground validation field campaign in Washington State.

Abstract (sommario):
The urgency of the research problem is due to the official recognition of a new sport -basketball 3x3 as an Olympic sport and a review of theoretical and methodological approaches to the selection and preparation of basketball players to participate in official competitions in 3x3 format. The first official national level competitions are held for players in the U-15 category. Given the lack of a managed training process in the new sport, there was a need for additional training of players in the sections of classical basketball to participate in competitions 3x3.Purpose: to determine the opinion of basketball players aged 15-16 about basketball in 3x3 format.Methods:theoretical (analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, Internet data on the problem of research), empirical (pedagogical (surveys), sociological (questionnaires)).Results: the results of a survey of coaches and a survey of classic players about basketball in 3x3 format are presented. The opinion of the players about the place of the new species, the importance of purposeful preparation for competitions in the 3x3 format is established. Priorities for the use of technical and tactical interactions during competitions in 3x3 format have been identified. The effectiveness of their use in 3x3 basketball in players of this age is analyzed. Conclusions:аmong the vast majority of athletes aged 15-16, training in the sections of classical basketball under the guidance of a coach, 3x3 basketball is very popular and is perceived as a separate sport (70%). 72% of respondents have experience of performing at official competitions in 3x3 format. 85% have a sufficient level of knowledge of the official rules of the new game. Distinguishing between features of competition formats, 87% of respondents expressed the need to train before 3x3 basketball competitions. The opinion of athletes aged 15-16 about the use of tactical interactions during games in 3x3 format partially differs from modern requirements.

Abstract (sommario):
Montreal and Toronto are arguably Canadian arts festival capitals, boasting heady and never-ending streams of performing arts, film, jazz, winter, literary, new music and ethnic festivals and cultural-tourist events. However, it may be instructive to look thousands of kilometres due west to examine the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, located in the booming Pacific Rim and 2010 Olympic host city of Vancouver. Guided by executive director Norman Armour and co-founded with local theatre director Katrina Dunn, “the PuSh Festival engages and enriches audiences with adventurous contemporary performance … work that is visionary, genre-bending, startling, and original” (Press release). The organization’s October 2007 news release (“PuShing beyond the Borders”) and Web-site archives indicate that PuSh has grown exponentially in its six years. It now boasts a history consisting of two initial three-show seasons (2003—4) that morphed into festival formats in the last four years (2005—8), becoming an essential fixture on the Vancouver arts scene.

Csurilla, Gergely, Zoltán Boros, Diána Ivett Fűrész, András Gyimesi, Markus Raab e Tamás Sterbenz. "How Much Is Winning a Matter of Luck? A Comparison of 3 × 3 and 5v5 Basketball". International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 20, n. 4 (7 febbraio 2023): 2911. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph20042911.
Abstract (sommario):
Background: The comparison of team sports based on luck has a long tradition and remains unsolved. A contrast between the new Olympic format three-on-three (3 × 3) and five-on-five (5v5) forms of basketball has never been analyzed and provides a comparison within the same form of sports. Methods: We developed a new method to calculate performance indicators for each team and invented the Relative Score Difference Index, a new competitive balance indicator that allows the comparison of luck in the two basketball forms for both men and women. We collected game-level data about 3 × 3 and 5v5 from the World Cups held between 2010 and 2019 (N = 666). Luck was defined as the difference between the expected and the actual outcomes of games. Using the basketball World Cup data, we applied the Surprise Index, ran probit regression models, and compared the basketball forms on the goodness-of-fit of the models. Results: As we predicted, there are differential effects of luck between game formats and sex, such that the 3 × 3 form depends more on luck and women’s games are less influenced by luck when compared to men’s games. Conclusion: Coaches may better understand the differences between the two forms and sexes regarding luck if they are aware that the 3 × 3 and men’s competitions are usually more influenced by luck. The findings provide a leverage point for testing new performances and competition balance indicators and will acknowledge the number of games we enjoy watching.

Etxebarria, Naroa, Iñigo Mujika e David Pyne. "Training and Competition Readiness in Triathlon". Sports 7, n. 5 (29 aprile 2019): 101. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/sports7050101.
Abstract (sommario):
Triathlon is characterized by the multidisciplinary nature of the sport where swimming, cycling, and running are completed sequentially in different events, such as the sprint, Olympic, long-distance, and Ironman formats. The large number of training sessions and overall volume undertaken by triathletes to improve fitness and performance can also increase the risk of injury, illness, or excessive fatigue. Short- and medium-term individualized training plans, periodization strategies, and work/rest balance are necessary to minimize interruptions to training due to injury, illness, or maladaptation. Even in the absence of health and wellbeing concerns, it is unclear whether cellular signals triggered by multiple training stimuli that drive training adaptations each day interfere with each other. Distribution of training intensity within and between different sessions is an important aspect of training. Both internal (perceived stress) and external loads (objective metrics) should be considered when monitoring training load. Incorporating strength training to complement the large body of endurance work in triathlon can help avoid overuse injuries. We explore emerging trends and strategies from the latest literature and evidence-based knowledge for improving training readiness and performance during competition in triathlon.

Abstract (sommario):
Almost half of the record 98 events being held at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games were either not held 20 years ago at Lillehammer or have been substantially modified. The Olympics as a global sports event are not stationary but must adapt and evolve in response to changing demands, just as the remarkable athletes who are competing do. While the Winter Olympics program has steadily grown since Chamonix in 1924, the rate of development has greatly accelerated in the last 20 years. Three factors seem to be instrumental. First, the Winter Olympics program has become more gender balanced. Female hockey teams are battling for gold, and this year women will compete in ski jumping for the first time. Most Winter Olympics sports have equal numbers of events for men and women today, although female participation still lags somewhat behind. Second, many traditional events have been modified by sport-governing bodies toward a more “TV friendly” format. Time-trial starts have been replaced by mass or group starts. “Sprint” and team events have been added to spice up traditional sports like cross-country skiing and speed skating. Finally “extreme” sports like half-pipe and ski-cross have crossed over from the X Games to the Olympics, with some arguing that the Olympics need these popular sports more than the X Games sports need the Olympics. All of these changes create new research questions for sport scientists who are also willing to adapt and evolve.

Capranica, Laura, e Mindy L. Millard-Stafford. "Youth Sport Specialization: How to Manage Competition and Training?" International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance 6, n. 4 (dicembre 2011): 572–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.6.4.572.
Abstract (sommario):
A prevailing theory (and practical application) is that elite performance requires early childhood skill development and training across various domains, including sport. Debate continues whether children specializing early (ie, training/competition in a single sport) have true advantage compared with those who sample various sports early and specialize in a single sport later (adolescence). Retrospective data and case studies suggest either model yields elite status depending upon the sport category (ie, situational: ball games, martial arts, fencing; quantitative: track and feld, swimming, skiing; or qualitative: gymnastics, diving, figure skating). However, potential risks of early specialization include greater attrition and adverse physical/emotional health outcomes. With the advent of the IOC Youth Olympic Games, increased emphasis on global youth competition has unknown implications but also represents a potential platform for investigation. Modification of youth competition formats should be based upon multidisciplinary research on psycho-physiological responses, and technical-tactical behaviors during competition. The assumption that a simple scaled-down approach of adult competitions facilitates the development of technical/tactical skills of youth athletes is not necessarily substantiated with field-based research. Relatively little evidence exists regarding the long-term effects of rigorous training and competitive schedules on children in specific sports. It is clear that more prospective studies are needed to understand the training dose that optimally develops adaptations in youth without inducing dropout, overtraining syndrome, and/or injury. Such an approach should be sport specific as well as gender based. Until such evidence exists, coaches and sport administrators will continue to rely upon their sport-specific dogma to influence programmatic development of our most vulnerable population.

Russo, Eduardo. "INVESTING IN AN OLYMPIC AGENDA: FROM RIO TO TOKYO AND BEYOND". Revista Fragmentos de Cultura - Revista Interdisciplinar de Ciências Humanas 33, n. 1 (9 novembre 2023): 241–42. http://dx.doi.org/10.18224/frag.v33i1.13144.
Abstract (sommario):
Motivated by the high risk and growing disinterest of countries and organizations in investing in an Olympic agenda that over the years was already responsible for moving billions of dollars over its summer and winter editions, this thesis aims to understand how the business environment in the context of the Olympic Games, has being capable over the last editions, to mobilize and attract long-term equity investments to the hosting regions. This research was organized through the format of three papers, the first being theoretical and the other two empirical. While in the first article a of non-traditional literature review of 170 scientific papers was carried out using mixed methods of analysis such as bibliometrics and qualitative content analysis, in the 2nd and 3rd papers were used qualitative methodologies such as the case study, which included a total of 38 in-depth interviews with companies and entities affected by the phenomenon being studied, which together formed the great cases of Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. As a result, three theoretical frameworks emerged in a better way to understand (1) the logic behind investment flows in the context of mega-events; (2) new competitive pressures from specific industry sectors most affected by the Olympic Games; and (3) threats and trends that are likely to affect the future of the Olympic movement. As a conclusion of the study, we verified that the gigantism assumed by past editions has put a lot of pressure over organizers and companies for new management practices and better planning over its investments, in a way to ensure not only a minor impact of the event on the environment, but also an economic sustainability of the Olympics and other international mega sporting events.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this study was to describe an educational method teaching Disaster Medicine to American Emergency Medicine (EM) physicians and to evaluate knowledge attainment using this method.MethodsThis was an observational study using a pre-test and a post-test. A full-scale disaster exercise (FSE) was conducted at a large academic center with two hospitals in Brooklyn, New York (USA). Eighty-two EM residents (physicians in training, post medical school) participated in the study. Inclusion criteria for study participation was all EM residents training at the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate at the time of the study. There were no exclusion criteria. The exercise was a disaster drill designed as “Olympic Games.” Participants in the exercise took a pre-test and a post-test. The primary outcome of the study was the mean difference between pre-test and post-test scores of the study participants using independent sample t-tests. Secondary outcomes of the study were percent of critical actions met by the residents and the hospitals as measured by direct observation of trained study personnel during the exercise.ResultsMean resident post-test scores were higher than pre-test scores to a degree that was statistically significant (62% versus 53%; P =.002). The residents’ performances ranged from 48% to 63% of objectives met. The hospitals’ performances met 50% to 100% of their objectives.ConclusionThe use of an Olympic Games format was an effective model for disaster education for physicians. The model allowed for evaluation of performance and protocols of participants and hospital systems, respectively, and may be used objectively to evaluate for areas of improvement. The Disaster Olympics drill was found to improve emergency preparedness knowledge in the population studied and may constitute a novel and efficacious methodology in disaster training.DanielP, GistR, GrockA, KohlhoffS, RoblinP, ArquillaB.

Abstract (sommario):
British newspaper narratives were examined during the 2012 London Olympic Games to discern how the British press promoted specific “narratives of the nation.” For the London-based British press, the home Olympics became the ideal medium not only to sell newspapers and electronic format subscriptions, but also to (re)present their views on Britain and what it stood for. Using a qualitative textual analysis methodology, this study drew on Anderson’s theory of the “imagined community” and Edmunds and Turner’s concepts of benign and malign nationalism to provide insights about how Britishness was framed. For a country struggling to shake off the economic recession, early narratives about the Games were imbued with concerns about the escalating costs of hosting the Games and fears of terrorism. However, the critical early tone of British newspaper narratives was supplanted with uplifting, inspirational stories about the unprecedented success of Team GB athletes. This provided British journalists with an opportunity to reengineer Britishness to reinforce some traditional values and inject some new inclusive ones. Although at times, complex, contested and contradictory, the narratives generally linked the internationalism of the Olympics with a progressive, benign version of Britishness that emphasized inclusion, tolerance, and creativity and, at least temporarily, redefined how Britain regarded itself and was viewed.

Fernández Truan, Juan Carlos. "Orígenes del break dance como deporte olímpico (Origins of break dance as an olympic sport)". Retos 51 (11 ottobre 2023): 470–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.47197/retos.v51.100481.
Abstract (sommario):
El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar los orígenes y evolución de un estilo de baile callejero que, ha ido surgiendo desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta su conversión en el caso del Break Dance en deporte olímpico durante los Juegos de Paris en 2024. La aportación principal de este trabajo histórico, ha sido el emplear una metodología descriptiva mediante fuentes secundarias de gran actualidad, puesto que se ha podido disponer de la información directa de los protagonistas de estos bailes de tremenda actualidad, al tratarse de una actividad relativamente moderna en la que los protagonistas aún siguen vivos. De los resultados obtenidos se desprende que la consideración social de esos estilos de baile callejeros, ha ido evolucionando desde prácticas reivindicativas de núcleos marginales, hasta convertirse en moda basada en formas de consumo, interés mediático y beneficios comerciales, en un intento de modernización de los Juegos Olímpicos para despertar mayor interés entre la juventud y mayor atracción de patrocinadores y medios de comunicación. Palabras clave: historia deporte, bailes callejeros, deporte urbano, Juegos Olímpicos, Paris 2024, Break Dance. Abstract. The aim of this study is to analyse the origins and evolution of different styles of street dances that emerged from the second half of the twentieth century onwards, up until, in the case of Break Dance, it was made an Olympic sport for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The main contribution of this historical paper has been to use a descriptive methodology based on highly relevant secondary sources, gaining information directly from those involved in this contemporary dance scene since the key figures associated with this relatively modern activity are still alive. The findings indicate that the social consideration of these street dance styles has evolved from practices aimed at platforming marginal nuclei to become fashion based on forms of consumption, media interest and commercial benefits, in an attempt to modernise the Olympic Games and spark greater interest among the younger demographic and attract greater interest from sponsors and the media. Keywords: sport history, street dancing, urban sport, Olympics, Paris 2024, Breaking.

Abstract (sommario):
For the title of an article to state that breaking is an 1980s pop cultural trend, this may have been forgivable in the 1990s, but it is not today. It is 2021 (at the time of writing this), and everyone has access to research via the internet. Breaking was not a trend that ended in the 1980s, and then ‘made the leap’ to the Olympics. It has succeeded in preserving and evolving the vocabulary that attracts the best dancers to it from around the world to this day. The dancers who upheld its history and solidified its place in the dance pantheon have created relationships with realms once thought of as intangible such as theatre and academia. Many hip hop dance movies have copied the format and theme of resilience found in the original cult classics such as Beat Street and Breaking. In this article, I explore the tensions emerging from lazy research practices sustained in the media surrounding the announcement that breaking would be included in the Olympic Games. I argue that mainstream media networks need to have a greater respect for the dance, its practitioners and its traditions to avoid this type of appropriation.

Walsh, Joel A. "The Rise of Elite Short-Course Triathlon Re-Emphasises the Necessity to Transition Efficiently from Cycling to Running". Sports 7, n. 5 (29 aprile 2019): 99. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/sports7050099.
Abstract (sommario):
Transitioning efficiently between cycling and running is considered an indication of overall performance, and as a result the cycle–run (C–R) transition is one of the most researched areas of triathlon. Previous studies have thoroughly investigated the impact of prior cycling on running performance. However, with the increasing number of short-course events and the inclusion of the mixed relay at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, efficiently transitioning from cycle–run has been re-emphasised and with it, any potential limitations to running performance among elite triathletes. This short communication provides coaches and sports scientists a review of the literature detailing the negative effects of prior variable-cycling on running performance experienced among elite, short-course and Olympic distance triathletes; as well as discussing practical methods to minimise any negative impact of cycling on running performance. The current literature suggests that variable-cycling negatively effects running ability in at least some elite triathletes and that improving swimming performance, drafting during cycling and C–R training at race intensity could improve an athlete’s triathlon running performance. It is recommended that future research clearly define the performance level, competitive format of the experimental population and use protocols that are specific to the experimental population in order to improve the training and practical application of the research findings.

Abstract (sommario):
We identify aspects of computing competition formats as they relate to the purpose of these competitions, both stated and tacit. We consider the major international competitions - the International Olympiad for Informatics, the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, and top coder - and related contests whose format merits consideration. We consider the operational impact and possible outcomes of incorporating several of these aspects into scholastic competitions. We advocate, in particular, that contests be designed so as to provide a rewarding experience and opportunity for achievement for all competitors; not just the winners. Specific contest elements that should be considered are: (1) real-time scoring and feedback, (2) rewards for testing and test case creation, (3) tasks with graduated difficulty, (4) collaborative tasks, (5) practice contests and entry-level contests for novices, and (6) inclusion of spectators.

Abstract (sommario):
Introduction: In 1839 the Gazeta Wielkiego Xięstwa Poznańskiego (Gazette of the Grand Duchy of Posen) announced the holding of the Olympic Games in the city of Posen by Rudolph Brilloff’s circus troupe. The aim of this study is to examine the role of Rudolph Brilloff in the history of nineteenth-century circus and to ascertain whether he consciously advocated for the organization of Olympic Games in circus format as part of the legacy of the Olympic tradition. Moreover, it aims to explore the distinctive characteristics of his circus performances within the realm of the Grand Duchy of Posen. Materials and Methods: The study used the historical methodology of the humanities of physical culture. Books, newspapers and other documents from archives and library collections in Poznan, Berlin and Potsdam were consulted. Findings: The research results show that although Rudolph Brilloff is considered the father of the German circus, little biographical information about him has survived. As a talented circus entrepreneur, who performed with his troupe under the name of the Olympic Games, he probably had little awareness or knowledge of the Olympic idea and therefore did not intend to promote it. However, Brilloff’s circus staged unique performances in the form of pantomimes or feats rarely seen in Poland before due to their dangerous nature, e.g. the salto mortale, also known as the leap of death. Summary: Rudolph Brilloff can be regarded as the forgotten father of German circus and should not be directly associated with the question of the Olympic legacy. However, Brilloff’s work had a real impact on nineteenth-century society and certainly contributed to other circuses expanding their repertoires with new elements based on various physical activities, ultimately leading to the development of modern circus art.

Abstract (sommario):
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Multilingualization of geographical name information has been required to support foreign visitors to the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 2020 and to correspond to the rapid increase of foreign visitors in recent years. GSI has prepared geographical name information in English and it has been already released. To expand this effort, we have conducted the experiment to translate geographical name information in Japanese and English into French, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese automatically and to prepare a multilingual map using vector tile format. To be specific, we prepared transformation rules for translation of geographical name information, and implemented the Javascript codes of transformation rules to deploy in combination with the existing Javascript library group which controls display on the web map. Thus, we developed a web map system which automatically generates geographical name information in these targeted languages on web browsers.</p>

Abstract (sommario):
The development of modern systems and technologies creates new requirements for the education system every day, provides new opportunities for the development of educational methods, consumer coverage and data science. The experience gained as a result of the transfer of the Therapy Olympiad in 2021 to a remote format proved its success and prompted the development of the Olympiad in this direction. On March 21–22, 2023, the III National Russian Therapy Olympiad with international participation in online format was organized. As a result, 2,120 students, residents and schoolchildren from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, and India took part in the Olympiad. This article analyzes the Olympiad in order to study the possibility of conducting an automated assessment of knowledge and skills formed by students of 4–6 courses of specialty and residents of the therapeutic profile and other medical specialties. The following evaluation tools were used: knowledge testing using a distance learning system and assessment of practical skills using a Dimedus computer virtual on-screen patient simulator. The analysis of the results showed that the base of the formed test mini-cases and clinical cases is valid, reliable and can be used for automated assessment of knowledge and skills of students in specialty and residency programs of therapeutic profile. Statistical data and feedback data showed the involvement in the process and the interest of students in the chosen assessment format.

Abstract (sommario):
This case-study will present learnings from the public art project ‘Snakes and Ladders’, a fifty metre, ground plane mural in Sydney Olympic Park, in Sydney’s western suburbs. This was a collaboration between Digby Webster, an artist with Down syndrome, and Nadia Odlum, an artist without disability who specialises in playful, large-scale public art. Snakes and Ladders was commissioned by the Sydney Olympic Parks Authority (SOPA) as a result of a community consultation and co-design process, and was supported by Accessible Arts, the peak body for advancing the rights of New South Wales artists who have disability and/or who are d/Deaf. The result was a public artwork that functions as an inclusive playspace, supporting the right to play for all people who visit or live in Sydney Olympic Park.The key achievements of this project were the meaningful inclusion of an artist with disability in a significant public art project, and the creation of an accessible and inclusive opportunity for play in public space. This case-study focuses on process, including the community consultation process that led to the commission; the role of peak body Accessible Arts in facilitating and guiding the commission; the methods used to ensure accessibility in the artwork design; and the collaborative process between Digby and Nadia, including the steps taken to support Digby’s access requirements and ensure his full participation in the commission from concept to delivery.

Abstract (sommario):
Cities and their respective regions must weigh the merits of hosting major sport events, including the Olympic Games. This paper presents a contingent valuation method estimate of the monetary value of intangible benefits to Germans of hosting the Olympic Summer Games. In a nationwide online survey, 6977 respondents said whether they would support a referendum to host the Games. The survey employed a payment card format containing monthly tax amounts to elicit individual willingness-to-pay for the Games over a five-year period. In the weighted sample, 26% expressed an average willingness-to-pay of €51. Willingness-to-pay varied widely across regions. Around Cologne, the average willingness-to-pay was €100. Interval data hurdle models reveal that policy consequentiality and various intangible benefits increased willingness-to-pay. Aggregate willingness-to-pay over a five-year period amounted to €46 billion which exceeded the estimated costs of the 2024 Summer Games for Hamburg. The findings have implications for policy makers since they show what regions within Germany most support hosting the Games.

Abstract (sommario):
Objectives: To identify relevant physiological, mechanical, and strength indices to improve the evaluation of elite mountain bike riders competing in the current Cross-Country Olympic (XCO) format. Methods: Considering the evolution of the XCO race format over the last decade, the present testing protocol adopted a battery of complementary laboratory cycling tests: a maximal aerobic consumption, a force–velocity test, and a multi-short-sprint test. A group of 33 elite-level XCO riders completed the entire testing protocol and at least 5 international competitions. Results: Very large correlations were found between the XCO performance and maximal aerobic power output (r = .78; P < .05), power at the second ventilation threshold (r = .83; P < .05), maximal pedaling force (r = .77; P < .05), and maximum power in the sixth sprint (r = .87; P < .05) of the multi-short-sprint test. A multiple regression model revealed that the normalized XCO performance was predicted at 89.2% (F3,29 = 89.507; r = .95; P < .001) by maximum power in the sixth sprint (β = 0.602; P < .001), maximal pedaling rate (β = 0.309; P < .001), and relative maximal aerobic power output (β = 0.329; P < .001). Discussion: Confirming our expectations, the current XCO performance was highly correlated with a series of physiological and mechanical parameters reflecting the high level of acyclic and intermittent solicitation of both aerobic and anaerobic metabolic pathways and the required qualities of maximal force and velocity. Conclusion: The combination of physiological, mechanical, and strength characteristics may thus improve the prediction of elite XCO cyclists’ performance. It seems of interest to evaluate the ability to repeatedly produce brief intensive efforts with short active recovery periods.

Abstract (sommario):
The paper considers the essential features of municipal stage of All-Russian English Language School Olympiad (ARELSO or Olympiad). The author views the Olympiad as a creative intellectual contest (subject Olympiad) aiming at revealing intellectually, linguistically, socioculturally and creatively gifted and talented in the sphere of foreign languages children and further developing their intellectual and creative potential. The author emphasizes the importance of ARELSO as an effective means of assessing students knowledge as well as its correspondence with CEFR; of stimulating students interest and encouraging their competitiveness, creative, analytical and research activity, readiness for self-study and independent learning; of helping them to identify their future vocational orientation. Outlining researchers contribution to the field of intellectual contests and work with gifted and talented children, the author has to admit the absence of comprehensive full-scale research into subject Olympiads, covering theoretical aspects of and practical guidelines for designing English language Olympiad tasks. The relevance of the study is determined by the authors experience as an Olympiad tasks designer and an attempt to offer thorough guidance and practical tips to inexperienced teachers involved in the process of preparing students for ARELSO. The paper reveals how the regulations of All-Russian School Olympiad are observed in real municipal level tasks. The author comments on the task types and formats, their linguistic and intellectual complexity, thematic and sociocultural relevance. As a result of the study, the author emphasizes the necessity of designing for the Olympiad new original tasks with the aim of assessing students creative potential, foreign language competence and scope in the sphere of linguistics, country studies, linguocultural studies and cross-cultural communication.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract This review highlights two intersecting environmental phenomena that have significantly impacted the Tokyo Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games: infectious disease outbreaks and anthropogenic climate change. Following systematic searches of five databases and the gray literature, 15 studies were identified that addressed infectious disease and climate-related health risks associated with the Summer Games and similar sports mega-events. Over two decades, infectious disease surveillance at the Summer Games has identified low-level threats from vaccine-preventable illnesses and respiratory conditions. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and expansion of vector-borne diseases represent emerging and existential challenges for cities that host mass gathering sports competitions due to the absence of effective vaccines. Ongoing threats from heat injury among athletes and spectators have also been identified at international sports events from Asia to North America due to a confluence of rising Summer temperatures, urban heat island effects and venue crowding. Projections for the Tokyo Games and beyond suggest that heat injury risks are reaching a dangerous tipping point, which will necessitate relocation or mitigation with long-format and endurance events. Without systematic change to its format or staging location, the Summer Games have the potential to drive deleterious health outcomes for athletes, spectators and host communities.

Abstract (sommario):
Background: With the inclusion of climbing in the 2020 Olympics, the number of adolescent competitors is on the rise. For the first time in competition history, the 2020 Olympic format requires every climber to compete in a combined format of all three disciplines: bouldering, sport climbing, and speed climbing. For speed climbing specifically, every competitor must compete on the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) speed wall. Epiphyseal stress fractures to the middle phalanx, also known as growth plate injuries, are almost exclusive to adolescent climbers, and the most common climbing injury in adolescent competitors. A2 pulley ruptures are the most common injury in skeletally mature climbers. There is a paucity of research on youth-specific climbing injuries and no previous research on perceptions of adolescent rock climbers about youth-specific climbing injuries. There is also no previous research that examines the correlation between epiphyseal stress fractures and speed climbing. Purpose: To examine the awareness, perceptions, and training practices of youth-specific climbing injuries and risk factors amongst elite, adolescent rock climbers. Methods: We surveyed elite adolescent rock climbers, ages 8-18, competing in the 2017 USA Climbing Sport and Speed National Championships. Subjects answered questions on their knowledge and awareness of the most common youth climbing injury and safe training practices. Chi Square, one-way ANOVAs, and Bonferroni post hoc tests identified misperceptions about youth climbing injuries and the safe age to start double dyno campusing, a climbing-specific training exercise. Risk ratios were used to make accuracy comparisons between adolescent competitors who self-reported as injury “informed” and “uninformed.” A Fisher’s Exact test was used to determine if training regularly on the IFSC speed wall correlated with self-reported stress fractures. Results: 267 climbers completed the survey (mean age =13.99±2.66 SD, 51.9% male, 48.1% female). The adult-specific A2 pulley injury was erroneously reported by the subjects to be the most common youth climbing injury, with an average ranking of 3.09±2.20 SD 95% confidence interval (CI) on a scale of 1 (most common) to 8 (least common). Growth plate injury to the finger ranked second most common, with an average ranking of 4.0±2.22. These rankings were significantly different (p<0.0001). Only 5.7% of climbers correctly reported the safe age to start double dyno campus board training, a risk factor for growth plate injuries. 48.9% of climbers reported they were aware of growth plate injuries to the finger; yet only 24.5% of these climbers correctly identified the injuries exclusively as stress fractures. 73.5% overall reported growth plate finger injuries to either be a type of A2 pulley injury or did not know. Growth plate injuries were significantly more common among adolescent climbers who trained regularly on the IFSC speed wall (Risk Ratio 1.34 – 13.94, p=0.02). Conclusion: Adolescent climbers are prone to characterizing skeletally immature climbing-specific injuries as A2 pulley injuries seen in skeletally mature climbers. Training regularly on the IFSC speed wall appears to be an additional risk factor for epiphyseal stress fractures. As climbing enters the 2020 Olympics, addressing misperceptions will help athletes, parents, and coaches understand the risk for stress fractures and guide adolescent climbers and parents to seek medical attention when appropriate. Educating youth, coaches, and parents about finger injuries may reduce the incidence of stress fractures and the potential for permanent finger deformity and loss of function.

Abstract (sommario):
The article reveals the functionality of the e-courses management system Moodle as a tool for holding Olympiads in a distance format. The technology of development of tasks for the Olympiad is described, taking into account their implementation in Moodle, and two ways of presenting tasks are shown: 1) as a single test with a given number of questions and with different forms of test questions; 2) in the form of several separate tests, distributed over course modules. It is substantiated that the choice of the way of presenting tasks depends on the specifics of the Olympiad and on the presence/absence of the need to divide tasks into thematic modules. A description of the types of test questions that can be used for the tasks of the Olympiad is given: open form, closed form, multiple choice, essays, etc. As an example, the stages of developing an Olympiad in information security for students of pedagogical university are described. The system of tasks of the Olympiad is given and it is shown how to present these tasks in Moodle for automatic and manual checking. The technology described in the article allows the development of distance Olympiads for both students and schoolchildren. Students of pedagogical university were selected as the target audience. The procedure for evaluating the Olympiad tasks completed by students in manual and automated form is demonstrated with specific examples.

Abstract (sommario):
Due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face educational events and classes were transferred to a distance format, so the traditional II All-Russian Olympiad with international participation in therapy was also held in absentia on April 26-28, 2021. This format provided the opportunity for 759 students and residents to participate in it from 82 educational and scientific organizations in Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Belarus. This article analyzes the Olympiad held in order to study the possibility of assessing professional competencies using distance technologies among students of 4-6 courses and residents of a therapeutic profile. As tools for assessing the formation of competencies, we used: testing knowledge using an electronic platform for remote testing and assessing practical skills using a computer screen simulator Body Interact. The analysis of the results showed that the bank of test tasks and clinical cases is valid, reliable, and can be used to assess the professional competencies of students in specialty and residency programs of a therapeutic profile.

Abstract (sommario):
This study aims to compile and develop an international didactic situtation presented with an approach to the center of an arbitrary triangle in visual exploration in 2D and 3D format using GeoGebra software as a technology for modification and construction of Olympiad questions. The methodology used in this study is an exploratory qualitative which is described from a didactic sequence of Mathematics Olympiad which were held in four online meetings using Google Meet. The results show that this exercise can be used as a resource that will provide a level of learning for students through command and visualization of images that serve a broad view of the international Olympiad situation. International didactic situations can be applied by mathematics teachers both in training for national and international Olympiad and for classroom teaching. In summary, it is noteworthy that the dynamic records of semiotic representations stimulated by the use of GeoGebra software has great potential to encourage the progress of students’ representative geometric thinking, through the development of visualization, perception, and mathematical intuition. It is hoped that this work can serve as a pedagogical and methodological tool by teachers for various competencies.

Abstract (sommario):
BackgroundThe International Olympic Committee (IOC) Medical and Scientific Commission has supported collating and sharing evidence globally by developing sports medicine consensus statements (‘Statements’'). Publishing the Statements requires substantial resources that must be balanced by use and impact on policy and practice. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of awareness and uptake of the Statements globally through a survey of the National Olympic Committees (NOC), National Paralympic Committees (NPC) and International Federations (IF).MethodA cross-sectional survey of medical commission representatives from NOCs/NPCs/IFs. A structured questionnaire was distributed through the IOC head office, informed by prior research. Questions comprised a mix of closed and open-text responses with results presented descriptively by organisation type and total.Results55 responses were included: 29 (52%) from NOC/NPC representatives (response rate 14%) and 26 (47%) from IF representatives (response rate 63%). All Statements had been used by at least one respondent, with the Statement addressing concussion ranked highest (used by 33/55). The main barriers to use were financial limitations (n=21), club/sport culture and behaviours (n=19) and lack of understanding from coaches/team sport personnel (n=19). Participants believed the Statements were a successful strategy for improving athlete health (n=39/51 agree or strongly agree).ConclusionThere was clear support for the continued development of sports medicine guidance, including in the format of these Statements. To ensure Statements lead to demonstrable health benefits for athletes, input from athletes, coaches and supporting staff is needed, as well as clearer identification of the purpose and audience of each topic developed.

Abstract (sommario):
Mountain biking (MTB) is a cycling modality performed on a variety of unpaved terrain. Although the cross-country Olympic race is the most popular cross-country (XC) format, other XC events have gained increased attention. XC-MTB has repeatedly modified its rules and race format. Moreover, bikes have been modified throughout the years in order to improve riding performance. Therefore, the aim of this review was to present the most relevant studies and discuss the main results on the XC-MTB. Limited evidence on the topic suggests that the XC-MTB events present a variation in exercise intensity, demanding cardiovascular fitness and high power output. Nonetheless, these responses and demands seem to change according to each event. The characteristics of the cyclists differ according to the performance level, suggesting that these parameters may be important to achieve superior performance in XC-MTB. Moreover, factors such as pacing and ability to perform technical sections of the circuit might influence general performance. Bicycles equipped with front and rear suspension (i.e., full suspension) and 29″ wheels have been shown to be effective on the XC circuit. Lastly, strategies such as protective equipment, bike fit, resistance training and accident prevention measures can reduce the severity and the number of injuries.

Abstract (sommario):
NHK’s morning drama (asadora) has been an important institution on Japanese television since the 1960s and is also known as ‘national drama’. This article discusses this media format in the context of rituals and nationhood: watching asadora has become an everyday ritual that can convey a sense of national unity, and the series functions as a ‘media ritual’ that naturalizes the concept of the Japanese nation, thereby also strengthening the symbolic power of the public broadcaster NHK. As the example of Hiyokko (2017) shows, the producers of this series evoke collective memory and nostalgia by depicting everyday culture and large, nationally charged events such as the 1964 Olympic Games. Reflecting on asadora can shed light on the political and ideological dimensions of seemingly ‘banal’ media products as well as provide more general insights into the development of television in times of social media and the disappearance of the ‘national’ TV audience.

Abstract (sommario):
ObjectiveThe aim of this project was to adapt the English, French, German and Russian versions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) injury and illness surveillance form to be sport-specific for use in biathlon.Methods23 medical representatives from 16 of the 55 biathlon federations participated in this project to adapt the form and create disease coding relevant to biathlon. The English version of the IOC injury and illness surveillance form was used as the primary template. Four review rounds were used to develop electronic fillable PDF forms. The changes were then forward translated onto the Russian, French and German forms.ResultsChanges were made to event type to biathlon-specific events. A weekly reporting format was adopted in line with the race week format of World Cup events. Wherever possible, coding replaced free-text format to avoid translation issues. New codes were created to describe the time of injury/illness. A new symptom code was added to reflect the prevalence of respiratory infection: sore throat/cold symptoms. As the number of athletes in a team differs between weeks in the season, an additional question was added to ask for the ‘number of athletes in the team for the week’ and for the season.ConclusionThis project provides a biathlon-specific injury and illness surveillance form in English, French, German and Russian. This forms the basis for surveillance that will contribute to a greater understanding of the illness and injury rate in elite biathletes and ultimately to enhanced athlete well-being and success in biathlon, and winter sports more generally.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractProving mathematical theorems at the olympiad level represents a notable milestone in human-level automated reasoning1–4, owing to their reputed difficulty among the world’s best talents in pre-university mathematics. Current machine-learning approaches, however, are not applicable to most mathematical domains owing to the high cost of translating human proofs into machine-verifiable format. The problem is even worse for geometry because of its unique translation challenges1,5, resulting in severe scarcity of training data. We propose AlphaGeometry, a theorem prover for Euclidean plane geometry that sidesteps the need for human demonstrations by synthesizing millions of theorems and proofs across different levels of complexity. AlphaGeometry is a neuro-symbolic system that uses a neural language model, trained from scratch on our large-scale synthetic data, to guide a symbolic deduction engine through infinite branching points in challenging problems. On a test set of 30 latest olympiad-level problems, AlphaGeometry solves 25, outperforming the previous best method that only solves ten problems and approaching the performance of an average International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) gold medallist.

Abstract (sommario):
In 2009, the International Triathlon Union created a new triathlon race format: The World Triathlon Series (WTS), for which only athletes with a top 100 world ranking are eligible. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of the three disciplines on performance within all the WTS Olympic distance races within two Olympic cycles, and to determine whether their relative contribution changed over the years. Methods: For each of a total of 44 races, final race time and position as well as split times (and positions), and summed time (and position) at each point of the race were collected and included in the analysis. Athletes were divided into 4 groups according to their final race placing (G1: 1st–3rd place; G2: 4–8th place; G3: 8–16th place and G4: ≥17th place). Two-way multivariate ANOVAs were conducted to compare the main effects of years and rank groups. For females, there were significant differences in the swim and bike segment only between G4 and the other groups (p range from 0.001–0.029), whilst for the run segment each group differed significantly from each other (p < 0.001). For males, there were significant differences in swim only between G4 and the other groups (p range from 0.001–0.039), whilst for the running segment each group differed significantly from the others (p < 0.001). Although we found running to be the segment where there were significant differences between performance groups, it is apparently important for overall success that a good runner be positioned with the first cycling pack. However, bike splits were not different between either of the four male groups or between the first 3 groups of the females. At this very high level of performance, at least in the males, the bike leg seems to be a smooth transition towards running.

Abstract (sommario):
The Holarctic genus Parasyrisca Schenkel, 1963 so far encompasses 46 species (Platnick 2008). It is one of the best-known species-diverse gnaphosid genera in the northern Hemisphere, due to a recent revision (Ovtsharenko et al. 1995). Most of the species are known from the Caucasus, Central Asia, South Siberia and Mongolia. While studying spiders of Central Xinjiang we found one undescribed Parasyrisca species (Marusik et al. 2007). Here we present a description of it. The format of the description and standard abbreviations of morphological terms follow those of Platnick & Shadab (1975) and Ovtsharenko et al. (1995). Specimens were photographed using an Olympus SZX12 stereomicroscope and Olympus Camedia C-5050 camera in the Zoological Museum, University of Turku. The images have been composed using “CombineZM” image stacking software. All measurements are given in millimeters. Types will be deposited in the Zoological Institute in Beijing (ZIB).

Abstract (sommario):
The triathlon Mixed-Team-Relay (MTR) is a new race format present for the first time at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021. The results of the ITU Triathlon Mixed Relay World Championship from 2014 to 2019 were collected to provide practical suggestions for forming a successful MTR, such as the importance of each leg and discipline on MTR and Super-Sprint performance. The total relay time (Trelay), the time of each team member (leg-from 1 to 4) (Tleg), and the time of each single discipline (swim, T1, cycle, T2, run) were collected from the official website. Inferential analysis was performed to assess prediction and differences between variables. Leg 3 was shown to be the most important to predict Trelay (0.41), which is also the slower. For both Trelay and Tleg, cycling resulted as the most important (>0.60) and longer (~52%) portion, followed by running and swimming. However, higher importance in swimming was found in successful teams compared to running. For a successful MTR, we suggest: (a) use short-distance specialized triathletes; (b) strengthen cycling and swimming; (c) position in legs 1 and 2 athletes capable of racing in a group; in legs 3 and 4 athletes capable of racing in a non-drafting situation.

Abstract (sommario):
O artigo discute "Nordeste", livro que Gilberto Freyre publicou em 1937 na Coleção Documentos Brasileiros, coordenada por ele próprio na Editora José Olympio. O objetivo é compreender a referida obra, articulada à produção intelectual do sociólogo pernambucano no período. A partir do texto freyreano, pretende-se evidenciar como a herança ibérica e a regionalidade conduzem o autor a uma interpretação do preservacionismo das formas antigas de vida, cultura e sociedade, inclusive em relação ao meio ambiente. Freyre coloca-se na defesa da legitimidade histórica da cultura ibérica, já transformada nas condições do Nordeste açucareiro, marcado pelo escravismo e pela monocultura, cuja existência o autor via ameaçada sob a força desagregadora da modernidade industrial que emanaria do Ocidente protestante e capitalista.

Abstract (sommario):
Olympiads of schoolchildren play an important role in identifying the most talented students, motivate them to study the discipline in depth, develop a creative approach to solving non-standard tasks, and play a leading role in the formation of highly professional scientific personnel of the country. The faculty of natural science education of Yakovlev University has been participating in the organization and holding of the regional stage of the all-Russian olympiad of schoolchildren in biology since 2016 and is the basis for organizing training camps. The analysis of the results of the regional stage of the all-Russian olympiad of schoolchildren in biology in the Chuvash Republic during this period will allow to adjust the system of teaching schoolchildren and increase the effectiveness of participation in the olympiad. The purpose of this study is to study the results of the regional stage of the all-Russian olympiad of schoolchildren in Biology in the Chuvash Republic in 2016-2022. Materials and methods. The analysis of the effectiveness of the performance of schoolchildren of the Chuvash Republic in the stages of the olympiad in biology was carried out on the basis of data obtained during the stages of the olympiad in biology by the chairman and members of the jury, as well as provided for analysis by the center «Etker» of the Ministry of Education of Chuvashia. Data analysis was carried out using the program and Statistica 7.0. Results. The paper presents the experience of the regional stage of the all-Russian olympiad of schoolchildren in biology in the Chuvash Republic in 2016-2022 and the prospects for improving the effectiveness of the participation of schoolchildren at the final stage. The analysis of the data showed that starting from 2018 to 2020, the proportion of students completing tasks in both theoretical and practical rounds has significantly increased. The decrease in the percentage of correctly completed tasks in 2021 and 2022 can be attributed to the fact that in these years the training camps were held more in a remote format, the regularity of school attendance depended on the students being in quarantine, in addition, there was no possibility of inviting the jury members of the final stage to prepare students for the regional stage of the all-Russian olympiad.

Abstract (sommario):
The Irish Sport Horse has commanded huge respect amongst horse owners and competitors of other nations, winning international, championship and Olympic medals for Great Britain (Shear L’eau, Supreme Rock), USA (Custom Made and Brazil (Special Envoy). The Irish Studbook continues to top the World Breeders Federation of Sport Horse (WBFSH) rankings for event horses based on competition results. The production of young horses through competition (training, novice and intermediate levels) has been an acknowledged format for identifying horses with the potential to excel at the highest levels of competition. However increasing production costs may be affecting the profitability of sport horse production. Reduced profit margins or possible negative returns may reduce the number of producers and this combined with the scientific improvements within other studbooks may threaten to reduce the potential for the Irish Sport Horse to retain its WBFSH event horse ranking. Furthermore, prize money offered in novice and intermediate competition appear to represent only nominal returns and fail to meet the costs of training and production.
