The Olympic flag consists of five rings which represent the five
continents of the world: Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The
headquarters of the Olympic movement – the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) – are in Lausanne in Switzerland. Each country
then has its own Olympic committee while each sport represented at
the Games has its own International Federation. The International
Olympic Committee is responsible for choosing in which city the next
Olympic Games will be held. This choice is made six years before the
event.
“The Olympic Charter” is a book which states all the rules of the
Olympic movement. One of the most important rules specified in the
Charter is that all the competing athletes must be amateurs.
What’s your opinion about the Olympic Games?Although athletes can only participate in the Olympic Games as
amateurs, money is still a major issue – especially for the city which
is hosting the Games. It sells television rights and exposes itself to
the outside world in order to increase future business and tourism.
Also, nearly all of the athletes taking part are otherwise professions
and, therefore, usually get financed when attending. So, many people
consider today that the IOC should consider modern realities by
allowing athletes to compete professionally. Discuss in groups your
opinion on this matter.
