Extractions: Edith Cowan University Research on masculinity and its relationship with sport is an emerging area of gender studies. It could be argued that this interest in masculine research has been inspired by feminist scholarship. Women's movement into the world of sport has inspired a new feminist scholarship on sport. However, as a consequence of illuminating the realities of scholarly ignorance and neglect, this corrective approach tended to leave men's relationship with sport unexamined. It appeared that women and sport became the "gender issue" while men and sport became "the norm". Early "men's studies" literature tended to ignore sport as a focus of inquiry. However, by the early 1980s initial attempts were made to investigate the masculinity sport relationship. These early attempts to construct a feminist analysis of masculinity and sport were thwarted by the lack of any sophisticated theoretical conceptualisation of masculinity. There now exists a critical mass of theory and research on men, masculinity, and the relationship with sport. At this early stage of development new theoretical frameworks are being constructed around which masculine research is based. New methodologies are also being utilised to provide appropriate levels of analysis.

Directory Because of its popularity in England, figure skating was on the program for the 1908 Olympic Games in London. When Antwerp, Belgium, hosted the 1920 Olympics after World War II, there was competition in both ice hockey and figure skating. Those sports could, of course, be conducted in rinks during the Summer Games. But other winter sports that were becoming popular in Northern Europe and the Alpine regions, such as skiing and bobsledding, obviously had to stay outdoors. After 1920, national governing bodies for such sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics. Top of Page The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps, planned a winter sports festival in 1924, when Paris was to host the Olympics. The Marquis de Polignac, a member of the International Olympic Committee, proposed to the IOC that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games. Another Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, was opposed to the idea. However, the IOC agreed that Chamonix could call its festival a "Olympic winter carnival."
