Description
About the Book
Sport is far from apolitical. Winning a gold medal can have a more positive impact on a country than many diplomatic or economic actions. Sport has become a key element of international power, and states are well aware of this. Just look at the Arab countries, which use it as a tool to whitewash their controversial policies. No supranational organization has as many members as the International Olympic Committee. This gives it unprecedented global influence, but also makes it a target for constant pressure. Achieving consensus among all its members is a monumental challenge. Although Olympism is in good health today, this has not always been the case. In this book, we also explore its darkest moments. This book is a collection of stories and facts. A meticulous chronicle of moments--both sporting and political--that did not always receive the media coverage they deserved. From Athens 1896 to Paris 2024.About the Author
Ernest Riveras Tobia (Barcelona, 1964), trabaja desde 1986 como periodista deportivo, primero en la emisora de radio Cadena 13, para pasar en 1988 a RTVE. Tras un periodo de diez años trabajando en Telefónica, Movistar+ y DAZN, en enero de 2024 volvió a TVE, lo que considera su casa. Su carrera ha estado ligada a las transmisiones deportivas, siendo quince años la voz de MotoGP en España. Y en cuanto a su bagaje Olímpico, ha sido enviado especial a seis ediciones de los JJOO, desde Barcelona'92 hasta Londres'12. En esos seis Juegos, ha comentado múltiples y variados deportes, como el atletismo en Londres'12, ha hecho las entrevistas de la zona mixta de atletismo y natación en varios de ellos, comentarista de las Ceremonias de Apertura y Clausura de los Juegos de Londres'12 y París'24, y sobre todo ha sido el presentador de los programas resumen de los JJOO de Pekín'08 y Londres'12. Durante los Juegos de París, ha sido uno de los presentadores de la continuidad en La1 de TVE. Este es su segundo libro deportivo, tras realizar en 2008 una biografía del piloto de MotoGP Jorge Lorenzo, traducida y actualizada en 2009, 2010 y 2011 para Gran Bretaña.Suggested Age: 22 Years and Up
