Olympic Gold Medallist Beckie Scott Canada's Nominee for IOC Athletes' Commission
Elections to Take Place During 2006 Olympic Winter Games VANCOUVER, July 3, 2005 - 2002 Olympic gold medallist Beckie Scott (cross-country skiing, Vermilion, Alta.) will be Canada's nominee for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Athletes' Commission, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) announced today.
Established in 1981, the IOC Athletes' Commission serves as a link between the athletes and the IOC. Composed of 19 active and retired athletes, the commission holds annual meetings and issues recommendations to the IOC Executive Board with the goal of ensuring that athletes' needs are met.
Elections for the IOC Athletes' Commission are held during each Olympic Games. Nominees are voted upon by the Games' entire athlete delegation in a secret ballot. During the Winter Games, the top two athletes with the highest number of votes are elected for an eight-year term.
Should Scott be elected to the IOC Athletes' Commission at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin she would also gain IOC membership status and join Richard Pound as Canada's second IOC member.

A complete Summary of the database contents is also available. The Bibliography Project research team credits can be viewed as well. Welcome
from Dr. Louis Grivetti, the project's compiler:
This year, 1996, marks the centennial celebration of the modern Olympic movement. In this spirit of celebration we acknowledge and recognize the names and publications of more than 50,000 historical and contemporary scholars, linked by the thread of a united, common interest in athletics, sport, and recreation. Athletics, games, leisure pursuits, physical education, play activities, and sports lie at the junction between the humanities, social sciences, and biological-medical sciences. While athletic activities most likely had their origin in military training, it is difficult in modern times to separate each theme: athletics from games, games from leisure pursuits and physical education, physical education from play, play from recreation, or recreation from sports. During past and present centuries research on human athletics, games, play, recreation, and sports has been conducted by a broad range of scientists, whether dietitians, nutritionists, physiologists, or physicians. Research on these themes also has been conducted by a broad range of scholars representing the humanities and social sciences, whether anthropologists, artists, classicists, dancers, economists, geographers, historians, musicians, psychologists, social theorists, or sociologists.

It's just that my best event is surfing, which is not an Olympic sport. I'm talking about channel surfing, but it would be the same with the other kind. Some sports are Olympic and some aren't. For example:
    • Boxing is. Kickboxing isn't.
    • Water polo is. Polo isn't.
