ONE THEME, ONE PAGE
In order to foster and support education, teaching and research on important topics of Olympism, we have created the "Zoom In", a collection in which each theme has a dedicated page that includes:
| - | an editorial |
| - | our selection of official and academic publications |
| - | links to online resources |
| - | the possibility to register to the new releases |
The "Zoom In" are permanently updated to ensure relevant and up-to-date information, and new topics are regularly added.
If your topic is not covered, use the search bar to find all the resources available in the Olympic World Library.
