Edited by Faculdade de Desporto da Universidade do Porto - 2021
Given the centrality that Olympism assumes in the Youth Olympic Games, added to the scarcity of scientific productions that thematise the values in this event, this research sought to understand the representations and manifestations of the values of Olympism in the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018. To do so, the researchers adopted a qualitative approach, based on the interpretive paradigm, in the form of field research, with diversified data collection methods, namely interviews, observation, field diary and analysis of official documents. The results revealed that the representations and manifestations of the values of Olympism in the context of the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games were plural, distributed in a continuum of interrelated meanings and senses with personal and institutional polarities, in which the different actors involved moved.
