Olympics
I
have been linked with Olympic research for a number of years.
As an area of academic study, the Olympics has been of interest
for many years. From Ancient Greek history to studies of political
and cultural issues related to the International Olympic Committee
have grown steadily. I have given invited papers for the British
Olympic Association, the International Olympic Committee,
the International Olympic Academy, the Brazilian Olympic Committee.
