The Golden 25 for 2008
The Golden 25, now in its 12th year, is a compilation of the personalities who will play the greatest influence in 2008 for the business of the Olympics. The listing is the product of a matrix assembled by ATR that includes names, events and issues that will come into play for 2008.

The IOC Comes to Guatemala
Humid and exotic, Guatemala seems an unlikely spot to consider the destiny of the Winter Olympics. Even so, the IOC will nonetheless set the wheels in motion for the 2014 Games, a highlight on day one. Once the furor over the July 4 vote passes, the 119th IOC Session gets down to three days of business that includes consideration of the Youth Olympic Games. It could become the first new multi-sports event under the flag of the Olympics since the Winter Olympics were added 80 years ago.


Countdown to Beijing: SportAccord 2007
The 2007 SportAccord convention in Beijing is on track to be the biggest yet since the event started in Madrid five years ago. More than 1,300 delegates registered for the convention, which has become the only annual gathering that include leaders of the IOC, international sports federations, bid cities and prominent executives from sports marketing and manufacturing. Around the Rings Beijing correspondent, Bill Smith, previews the next few months as the 2008 host city is put through its paces with more than two dozen test events.


The Race For 2014
For the second time in a row, the race for the Winter Olympic Games is a contest of three cities—two of them repeat contenders. It's as close as anything we've seen to a trend in bids for the Winter Games. The finalists were culled from a group of seven in May of 2006. The IOC Executive Board chose “quality over quantity”: PyeongChang, Salzburg and Sochi the unmistakable choices to make formal bids.


The Golden 25 for 2007
The Golden 25, now in its 11th year, is a compilation of the personalities who will play the greatest influence in 2007 for the business of the Olympics. The listing is the product of a matrix assembled by ATR that includes names, events and issues that will come into play for 2007.


SportAccord 2006 in Seoul
No other meeting outside of an IOC Session brings together as many personalities from the IOC, international federations and the business of world sport. This year's meeting has even more luster with the General Assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees, bringing leaders of the 203 NOCs to Seoul. This Special Edition includes profiles on each of the five continental associations represented at the ANOC meetings.


Decision 2005: Singapore
At the top of the list for the 117th IOC session is the July 6 election of the 2012 host. It is a race unprecedented in the history of Olympic bids, with five world-class cities competing at the same time: London, Madrid, Moscow, New York and Paris.


The Road To Torino
With a population of two million, Torino is a far cry from Cortina d’Ampezzo. Fifty years ago, this hamlet with 5,000 inhabitants and a classic mountainside setting was the last Italian host for the Winter Olympics. With the Winter Games now three times bigger than they were in 1956, Torino 2006 President Valentino Castellani says he cannot imagine how they could be held without the facilities of a major city, such as Torino.

ATR in the News: Pro-Tibet activists hold vigil outside Chinese embassy - 04/23/2008
The Sydney Morning Herald covers the torch relay in Canberra.

IOC told China to ditch relay - 04/20/2008 CHINESE officials were repeatedly told by the International Olympic Committee that it did not want a global torch relay because of concerns about security and the cost for participating countries.

Veteran Olympic commentator Ed Hula has slammed the IOC for caving in to China's demands for a relay. In an editorial in his Around the Rings Olympic newsletter, Mr Hula said the IOC's "misreading" of the political sensitivities of the torch relay route would cost millions of dollars in extra security for host cities.
