Below are the latest articles from the ISOH blog. Follow the link for a complete archive.
The final issue of the Journal of Olympic History in 2011 includes a total of six academic articles from various fields of Olympic studies. All of them offer interesting perspectives on subject matter that may be less familiar to some. The opening article by Luis Silva and Hans-Dieter Gerber reflects the tremendous research these two authors have carried out into the Arab Games and gives a very coherent and detailed overview of this very special sporting event. The other articles deal more specifically with the Olympic Games and encompass diverse perspectives:
- The Arab Games: Establishment and Role (1953-1965) by Luis Silva and Hans-Dieter Gerber
- Determinants of Participants and Success at the Earlier Modern Olympic Games by Gerard Kuper Elmer Sterken
- A “New Woman” and her Involuntary Youth by Volker Kluge

- “Fire, When Great Festivals are Celebrated at the Stadium” – The “Olympic Flame” in Stockholm 1912 by Ansgar Molzberger
- Olympic Medals Amsterdam 1928 by L.M.J. Boegheim (translated by Th. Bijkerk)
- Number of Participants in Athens 1896 by Ture Widlund
The second issue of the Journal of Olympic History focuses on Asia, discussing among others:
* The bid for the 1940 Olympics, won by Tokyo, but then lost to Helsinki due the outbreak of war between Japan and China
* The Chinese bids for the 2000 and 2008 Olympics
* The Olympic dreams of Malaysia and Turkey
This year's first issue of the Journal of Olympic History, appearing in March, discusses the presence of boy scouts and girl guides in the cover article, "Scouting at the Olympics", by Roland Renson. Also in this issue:
