Abstract

Dealing with the local/global dimension of the Olympics, the chapter proceeds by exploring strategies behind Sarajevo’s candidacy. Stressing that despite the main argument for the candidacy was economic, insisting that the event could serve as a springboard to developing the city into a global tourist centre, the chapter shows that processes of nomination and preparation for the Games had a number of important cultural implications. Examining these implications from different perspectives, the chapter maps how the Olympics affected representations of Sarajevo as a global winter tourism centre, how they emerged as an inescapable temporal and cultural point of reference in the city, how they triggered rising awareness for the city’s cultural uniqueness and finally how they became a bearer of the city’s youth’s identity.

  1. 1.

    There were 49 participating countries in Sarajevo compared with 37 at the Games in Grenoble 1968, Innsbruck 1976 and Lake Placid 1980. The record in terms of number of the athletes was also broken, with the Sarajevo Games easily surpassing the previous record held by the Grenoble 1968 Games with 1290 participants (1280 in Lake Placid and 1260 in Innsbruck 1976). In Sarajevo 1490 athletes competed.

    It is less known, but in no way less interesting, that the winter events for the physically handicapped were also organised for the first time at the Sarajevo Games (J.-L. Chappelet 2012, 78).
