Planning your revision Countdown to the exam Revision planner checklists are a good way for you to plan and structure your revision.

They also allow you to make sure you have covered everything you need to cover.

Revision planner checklist Time before Things to do the exam

•

Use the Revision checklist on page 18 to work out which topics you need to cover.

•

Use the topic area headings and bullets to organise your notes and to make sure you’ve covered everything in the specification.

•

Don’t do too much in one day – a couple of hours of good-quality work in a day is better than trying to cram.

•

Work out which of the topic areas you still find difficult and plan when you’ll cover them.

•

You may be able to discuss tricky topics with your teacher or class colleagues.

•

As you get to grips with some of the knowledge you need, you can ‘tick off’ the topic areas that have been worrying you.

FT

Draw up a revision timetable so that you know how much time you have to get through everything.

R

4−6 weeks

•

A

6−8 weeks

Make the most of the revision sessions you’re offered in class.

Don’t skip them!

1 week

•

Make a daily plan to revise those few topic areas you’re not confident about and look back at your revision cards (see ‘Revision techniques’ section below) if you’ve made some.

Day before

•

Try not to cram today – get some exercise and relax in the afternoon.

•

Make sure you know what time and where the exam is, and put all your things out (pencils, pens, calculator, bus pass, water) ready for the next day.

•

Get a good night’s sleep!

D

•

Revise it!

Using the example above, create your own revision planner checklist. Identify areas that you are not so confident about and think of ways to tackle these.

Revision tips

Plan your revision

Choose the methods Make a list of all the key that work for you dates from when you For example: • use highlighters for key words and phrases

start your revision up to the exam date.

• make note cards

Plan to space your revision out so that you don’t try to do everything at once!

Take breaks Plan regular breaks during your revision. Go for a short walk or get some fresh air. It will make you more focused when you do revise!

FT

• use mnemonics made up of the first letters of words (for example, use ‘UPS’ to remember ‘User groups’, ‘Possible barriers’ and ‘Solutions to barriers’).

Don’t cram!

Identify your strengths and weaknesses

Questions can be asked about any area of the specification.

It is easier to answer a question if you have revised everything.

R

A

Complete the ‘Revision checklist’ at the end of each chapter and identify areas that you feel less confident about. Give yourself additional time to revise these areas.

Lear n ever ythi ng!

D

Stay healthy!

Exercise, fresh air, good food and staying hydrated will all help you to revise.

6

Practis e!

Practising exam-style questions will help you get to grips with the question types, as well as the time pressure and the format of the exam.

Use mind maps!

Don’t skip revision classes – it can really help to revise with your friends as well as by yourself.

Mind maps are great for connecting ideas and memorising information more quickly and easily.

Preparing for the exam

Original material © Cambridge University Press 2022. This material is not final and is subject to further changes prior to publication.

Revision techniques Flash cards/revision cards These are useful for summarising content, key word definitions and important facts.

Use colours to make certain things stand out – for example, you could use different colours for advantages and disadvantages or for key words. You can test yourself using these revision cards.

Mind maps These are a really useful visual summary of information and you can put them on the wall.

They allow you to show links between ideas and concepts. You can start by adding the topic to the centre of the diagram and then add the sub-topics around that and a summary of the information.

Paralympic values • • • •

These values are different to the sporting values.

Make sure that you learn these.

The Olympic and Paralympic Movement

Excellence Friendship Respect

D

The text for the Olympic Creed was taken from a speech given at the London 1908 games.

This design represented the 5 continents of that time, rather than the 7 continents that make up the modern world

The 5 colours – blue, yellow, black, green and red – represented the colours of the flags of all nations at that time

The Olympic rings are really recognisable.

These are known as the Olympic symbol.

The Creed “The most important thing is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have taught well.”

The symbol The five interlocking rings represent the closeness between the 5 continents.

Revise it!

Create a mind map activity for a topic of your choice.

Highlighting Making notes and highlighting key areas to go back to is a good way of working out what you know and don’t know. You can then use these notes as you come to your final revision.

You can use different colours to highlight different factors or different types of information.

For example, you could highlight any key sports terminology in yellow.

Summaries On the revision pages of this book, you’ll find summaries of key ideas and themes.

Use these to help you summarise the key points you’ll need to remember to answer questions on those topics. For example, you need to know factors affecting participation in sport. You can make a summary of these yourself – and if you think through these points in the exam, you are more likely to remember them.

Mnemonics

FT

A mnemonic is another useful way of remembering key facts by using the first letter of each of the parts to make up a memorable phrase. For example, you could use ROORR to remember the types of scheduling for major sporting events: ‘Regular’, ‘One-Off’ and ‘Regular and Recurring’.

Quizzes

A

Many people enjoy quizzes and creating, and sharing quizzes with your friends and class is a great way to remember facts and concepts. You could suggest to your teacher that, in pairs, you create a quiz of ten questions each week and go through the questions with another pair, swapping your answers. This is also a good way for you to check your knowledge.

Make a note of the topic areas where you didn’t know the answers and add these to your revision list.

R

Practice questions

Doing past papers and practice exam questions is an essential part of your revision.

It prepares you for answering different types of exam questions and allows you to become familiar with the wording of the questions used by OCR.

D

You should also use the mark scheme. This will help you understand how to get full marks for each question.

It is helpful to highlight key words in exam questions so you’re clear what the question is asking before you answer it.

Preparing for the exam

Original material © Cambridge University Press 2022. This material is not final and is subject to further changes prior to publication.

Getting ready for the exam Use the revision checklist and all your revision material to make sure you are as prepared as possible. Practise plenty of exam questions and quick quizzes.

Get plenty of sleep

Keep hydrated but don’t drink too much

Eat a good, healthy meal Have a nutritious healthy meal that you enjoy the night before the exam and a filling breakfast on the day of the exam to give you a boost ready for your exam.

A

It’s important that you stay hydrated but don’t overdo it or you’ll be running to the toilet. Exams can make you a bit nervous too, which means you might need to go to the toilet a bit more frequently.

Water is best.

FT

Make sure you get a good night’s sleep the night before the exam. Don’t stay up late cramming as you need time to switch off and relax before going to bed.

Getting ready for the exam

R

Make sure you have all the things you need

D

Get everything ready the night before – including all writing equipment, a calculator if you need one (and are allowed one), a water bottle, tissues if you have a sniff, and any identification you might need (candidate number if you have been given one).

Set your alarm If your exam is in the morning, set an alarm or two so you have plenty of time to get to the exam. If you’re still worried about oversleeping, ask a friend or someone in your family to make sure you’re up.

Arrive in plenty of time

Don’t be tempted to cram

Know when and where the exam is. Get there at least 15 minutes before it starts. If your exam is in an unfamiliar part of the school and away from where you normally study, you might have to leave home a bit earlier. Don’t be distracted on the way!

Too much last-minute cramming can scramble your brain! You may find that being relaxed rather than attempting last-minute cramming will help you recall the facts you need, but you may also want to revise the key facts before setting off for the exam.

What to expect in the exam As part of your qualification in Sport Studies you will take an exam that is worth 40% of your marks. It is important that from the beginning you start to think about the exam and the skills you’ll need to get the best possible grade. Answering exam questions is a skill.

Like any other skill, it can be learnt, practised and improved.

The following is an outline of what to expect in the exam, the types of questions and what the paper looks like. You need to answer all the questions.

Types of questions to expect in the exam Exam questions can be asked about any area of the specification, which means that you have to learn everything!

The exam paper will contain three types of question: Description

Multiple-choice question (MCQ)

• A question with four answer options.

• Worth 1 mark.

Short-answer question

• A question usually requiring a one-word answer or a simple sentence.

• Worth 1–4 marks.

Long-answer question

• An open-response question where you are expected to do a piece of extended writing.

• Worth up to 8 marks.

• These questions allow you to be assessed on the quality of your written communication.

User groups who participate in sport

see p.64

What I need to know •

The different user groups who participate in physical activity or sport.

•

The different needs and issues that affect participation.

We place people into groups so that we can discuss and try to solve any problems with their different needs. People are grouped by the things that they have in common, like their beliefs, economic situation or family commitments. It is important to know what these user groups are and how they all differ.

The different user groups People from different ethnic groups

Retired people and people over 60

Families with children

Carers

People with family commitments

Young children

Teenagers

People with disabilities

Parents (singles or couples)

People who work

Unemployed or economically disadvantaged

A

FT

Gender

R

You will need to know the needs of and differences between all these user groups.

Some of these groups are described in more detail below.

Retired or over 60s

Somebody’s gender identity is who they know themselves to be. Traditionally people are grouped into two genders (male and female), but this is not an accurate reflection of the world.

Transgender athletes have only been allowed to participate in the Olympic Games since 2004.

Sports such as football have male and female teams, who don’t play together or compete against each other.

Retired and older people often have more time as they do not work, but they are also more likely to have physical difficulties. Many older people still enjoy sports such as running, but activities for this group are often low-impact, such as bowls, aqua aerobics and Nordic walking, or adapted from traditional sports, such as walking football/netball.

D

Gender

Practise it!

Remember it!

1

•

Needs can be very specific to a user group and only apply to those people.

•

Most people are in more than one group.

For example, somebody might be a single parent from a minority ethnic group who works.

2

Describe two needs of young children when they are taking part in sports.

(2 marks) Explain why unemployed people might have specific needs when taking part in sports.

People with disabilities

see p.65

What I need to know •

People with disabilities often face extra challenges when accessing sport.

•

There is a wide range of disabilities that are not always visible or obvious.

A person with a disability is someone who has a long-term physical or mental impairment that has a negative effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities, such as sport.

Wheelchair sports

It is important to understand that people with disabilities don’t have only physical disabilities or are wheelchair users.

Examples of disabilities include:

Sportspeople who use wheelchairs usually have the same needs as sportspeople who are not wheelchair users. Existing facilities rarely need to be adapted, other than allowing access with a lift or a ramp.

•

hearing impairment

•

neurological conditions

•

learning disabilities.

Common mistakes

FT

Different types of disabilities

Wheelchair sports are popular around the world.

At the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, athletes in wheelchairs competed in events such as athletics, basketball, fencing, boccia, shooting and table tennis.

D

R

A

A common error when answering questions about people with disabilities is to assume that all disabilities that affect participation in sport are physical, or that they all require a wheelchair.

Another is the assumption that all people with disabilities have the same lifelong aim to take part in the Paralympics. You need to know that not all people with disabilities share the same dream, and many use sport purely as a means of socialising.

Practise it!

Remember it!

1

•

If sports facilities adapt their access and equipment, more people with disabilities will be able to take part in sport.

•

People with disabilities aren’t always wheelchair users and their disabilities won’t always be visible.

Barriers to participation in sport 1

see p.66

What I need to know •

Some people can’t access sporting activities in the same way that others can.

•

There is a wide range of reasons why people find it difficult to participate in sport.

Barriers for different user groups Example of a barrier

Gender

Media portrayal of gender stereotypes in sports. This can lead to people lacking confidence to participate.

Different ethnic groups

A lack of relevant role models in some activities. This might lead to low participation in these sports.

Retired or over 60

A lack of appropriate activities. This could make people in this demographic (group) feel too worried to join a session at a gym.

Families with children

The cost of taking part in sporting activities. This can be too high if paying for every member of a large family to participate.

Carers

The inability to leave alone the people who they care for. This might make it hard or even impossible for carers to make it to timetabled activities.

FT

User group

People with family commitments Lack of sessions at a suitable time to fit in around a person’s commitments to their elderly parents.

Teenagers

Lack of transport. The children probably need to be taken to activities by a parent or guardian so have to go when the adult is available.

A

Young children

Small range of activities on offer. This could be because of a lack of specialist facilities or accessibility issues.

R

People with disabilities

Lack of activities that appeal to teenagers, and some gyms don’t allow under-16s to attend without an adult.

A lack of crèche/nursery provision at the gym. This would mean that single parents would struggle to find time to participate.

People who work

Lack of time. Sessions and opening times may also be incompatible with their working hours.

D

Parents (single/couples)

Unemployed or economically disadvantaged people

Lack of disposable income. They may not be able to afford to pay for classes, travel to the venue, or sports clothing and equipment.

Practise it!

Remember it!

•

Create a table showing the barriers that affect participation and write an example next to each one.

•

Different user groups have different barriers preventing them from participating in sporting activities.

•

Write the barriers on individual sticky notes. Pick one up at random and give an example of how this barrier affects a user group.

•

Just as everyone belongs to more than one user group, they may also face several barriers to participation.

Barriers to participation in sport 2

see p.67

What I need to know •

The barriers that affect participation in sport and physical activity.

•

Some of the barriers are very complex and not easy to solve.

FT

The lack of equal coverage in the media in terms of gender

A

In the UK, women’s sport receives just 7% of the total sports media coverage. This makes it more difficult for women and girls to find positive role models, especially in sports that are traditionally considered to be ‘male’, such as rugby, where the media broadcast mostly men’s competitions. This may mean that women don’t continue participating in sport once they leave full-time education.

Other barriers to participation

Wanting to be like a sporting hero or role model can make someone more likely to participate in sport. Not having somebody like you as a role model in a sport might make you think that it’s not an acceptable sport for somebody in your user group. For example, a lack of ethnic minority role models in sports like skiing and rowing can lead people in this user group to not participate in these sports.

Employment (having a job) could mean that you have less time available to commit to a sport.

On the other hand, unemployment (not having a job) could mean that you have a lack of disposable income (money that is available to spend on leisure time after bills, etc., have been paid).

D

R

Lack of positive role models

A lack of appropriate activity provision is a common barrier, especially for younger and older age groups, and for people with disabilities.

Practise it!

Factors affecting the popularity of sport

see p.69

What I need to know •

Positive and negative reasons for sport being popular.

•

How a range of different factors influence the popularity of a sport.

Some reasons for a sport’s popularity in the UK are straightforward, such as because a sport has traditionally been played in the UK. Other reasons are more complicated and link to people’s individual beliefs or ideals.

Positive and negative impacts on popularity Example of a positive or negative impact

Number of people participating

The more people take part in a sport, the more popular it will become. Reasons for this may include, for example, media coverage, British successes in the Olympic Games and Tour de France, and the ease/low cost of getting involved in cycling.

Provision of facilities/ appropriate climate

People are more likely to participate in and watch sport if they can access facilities close to where they live. For example, only people who can easily reach mountains, e.g. in Scotland, can regularly take part in winter sports in real conditions in the UK.

Live spectator opportunities

Living near a rugby stadium where a professional team play could lead a person to participate because they see and are inspired by the professional players.

FT

Factor

Level of success (individuals or teams)

A

Amount and range of The more a sport is in the media or in the news, the more likely it is that people will want media coverage to play it. Men’s football gets more coverage than other sports, whereas some sports, such as boccia or lacrosse, get little or no TV coverage.

The success of individual sportspeople can lead to an increase in popularity.

For example, when Scottish player Andy Murray won Wimbledon, more people in the UK started playing tennis.

R

Number and range of When Team GB won a gold medal in women’s hockey at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, role models the players became role models overnight and the number of people playing hockey in the UK increased.

D

Social acceptability

Boxing has not always been socially acceptable because some people think it is violent and because of boxers’ injuries. If protective equipment like padded headgear is used to make the sport safer, it could become more socially acceptable. Horse racing is another example of a sport that is often classed as being socially unacceptable in the UK.

Practise it!

Remember it!

1

•

Sports that are often on television will be the most popular.

•

Positive role models will lead to increased participation, especially among younger user groups.

Sporting values 1

see p.72

What I need to know •

How a range of values can be promoted through sport.

•

Examples of team spirit, fair play, and tolerance and respect in sport.

As well as fitness and skill, sports performers need to live up to certain values and behave in certain ways to be successful. Performers and fans can also apply these values to everyday life.

Tolerance and respect

This means supporting fellow team or squad members and working together to reach a common goal.

This is treated as one value, not two separate ones. It relates to how sport can unite people and generate a better understanding of other cultures.

For example, the British and Irish Lions rugby team comes together every four years. Players are selected from different clubs and countries, however, when they play as the Lions against other countries’ teams, the players work together and support each other to try to defeat the opposition.

During the 2020 European men’s Football Championship, three black England football players, including Marcus Rashford, were racially abused online after missing penalties in the final against Italy. Other England players spoke out, saying that there is no place for racism in football and society. Some fans showed their tolerance and respect for the players by covering a defaced mural of Marcus Rashford in Manchester with flowers, poems and positive messages.

FT

Team spirit

Fair play

A

This is when performers follow the rules and sporting etiquette, and do not cheat.

D

R

For example, if a tennis player is ready to serve and their opponent is using time to collect their towel when they should be ready to receive the ball, the opponent might not be demonstrating fair play.

Sporting values 2

see p.74

What I need to know •

How a range of values can be promoted through sport.

•

Examples of inclusion, citizenship, national pride and excellence in sport.

Inclusion

Citizenship and national pride

Sport has the power to make everybody feel included. For example:

Citizenship means creating community sports links. For example, the world heavyweight champion boxer Anthony Joshua invested money into his childhood boxing club in north London.

He often visits the club to help out and to inspire young people in boxing.

‘This Girl Can’ is a campaign that aims to encourage women and girls, whatever their abilities and backgrounds, to get active.

•

Stonewall is an LGBTQ + rights organisation that developed a toolkit called Make Sport Everyone’s Game, to help sports clubs be welcoming of everyone.

•

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) published an action plan in 2019 to increase participation in women’s and girls’ cricket and create career pathways to help women become professional cricketers. They also launched The Hundred, a cricket competition where men and women compete on the same platform.

National pride means creating a feeling of togetherness in the country from everyone supporting an athlete or national team. For example, when the cyclist Geraint Thomas took part in the Tour de France in 2018, there was lots of support for him in his home country of Wales.

Even people who knew nothing about cycling made flags and banners and supported, which brought people together.

R

Excellence

A

FT

•

...means performers striving to be the best that they can be in their chosen activity.

...is not always measured by success and failure or winning and losing.

D

Excellence in sport...

...can be an athlete’s good performance compared with their previous achievements.

...involves developing skills like mental resilience as well as physical skills.

Practise it!

Remember it!

Why people use performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in sport see p.80 What I need to know •

There are many reasons why sportspeople might use PEDs.

•

Examples of high-profile sportspeople who have been found using PEDs.

Performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) are drugs taken by sportspeople to artificially improve their sporting performance. Athletes who take PEDs risk being banned and ruining their reputations if they are caught.

* To win, no matter what the cost

Example: Lance Armstrong •

Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France cycling race seven years in a row.

FT

Why some sports performers use PEDs * To improve performance (e.g. by becoming stronger or faster)

* To get money and/or fame (e.g. by getting better sponsorship deals because of improved performance)

He also recovered from cancer during this period of success, so he was seen as a hero.

•

After allegations of doping throughout his career, he admitted in a TV interview in 2013 that he took PEDs.

•

He said that he did it because he had been ‘a guy who expected to get whatever he wanted, and to control every outcome’.

A

* To level-up the playing field (because the athlete believes everyone else is using PEDs)

•

* To recover from an injury more quickly * Peer pressure from other athletes

D

R

* To be able to train for longer and/or harder

Example: CJ Ujah CJ Ujah is a British sprinter on the 4 × 100m relay team who won silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. After the race, Ujah’s samples tested positive for two banned substances. He was later found guilty, and he and his team mates lost their medals.

The role of WADA – drugs testing

see p.83

What I need to know •

How WADA uses the Whereabouts Rule to monitor athletes.

•

WADA’s methods of testing and the sanctions they use.

The primary role of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is to ensure that the global sporting environment is PED-free. It uses scientific research, education and monitoring as its main methods to do this.

The Whereabouts Rule This is WADA’s main strategy to make elite sport a PED-free environment.

•

Selected elite athletes must be available for random drug-testing at any time.

Athletes must:

FT

•

3

always provide information about their location (when not in competition)

3

provide information about their overnight accommodation

3

provide details of their training and competition schedules

3

be available for testing at a pre-agreed place for one hour every day

3

understand that missing three tests in one year will result in a sanction.

R

Testing methods

A

In 2016, Team GB Cyclist Lizzie Deignan missed three random drugs tests in one year and was at risk of being banned from competition for four years. She argued that she only missed the first test because the tester didn’t try hard enough to contact her.

Arbitrators agreed that it wasn’t her fault.

D

Drugs tests are carried out by officials under close supervision in a laboratory. The test samples can be blood, urine, hair or nail.

Sanctions and consequences Severe sanctions and consequences may convince somebody not to take PEDs. These include: •

suspension, long-term ban or lifetime ban from competing

•

loss of medals and prizes

•

removal of results, records and achievements

•

loss of sponsors and commercial partners

•

loss of income or funding.

Revise it!

Remember it!

Look again at the table of things that athletes must do as part of the Whereabouts Rule. Write each one on its own sheet of paper. Study them for 10 minutes, then ask somebody to test you on what you remember.

See if you can build up to remembering all five of them.

•

The Whereabouts Rule requires elite athletes to declare where they will be for one hour every day in case of a random drugs test.

•

Drugs tests can be carried out as often as WADA or UKAD decide. For some athletes, this might be several times a year.

The features of a major sporting event 1

see p.86

What I need to know •

The differences between regular, one-off, and regular and recurring sporting events.

•

Some examples of each type of sporting event.

A huge number of major sporting events regularly take place around the world.

Some events happen in the same place every year, but others only happen very rarely in a particular city or country.

Regular, one-off, and regular and recurring scheduling One-off events

Regular and recurring events

Regular events happen at set intervals, usually annually (at the same time every year), e.g.: • the golf Open Championship is at the same time each year but in a different UK venue • the European Rugby Champions Cup final is held in a different European city each year.

One-off events might happen regularly but are held in each place very occasionally, e.g.: • the Olympic and Paralympic Games are held in a different city/country every four years • the Hockey World Cup is held every four years at a different venue.

Regular and recurring events events take place regularly at the same place, e.g.: • the FA Cup final takes place at the same time every year at London’s Wembley Stadium • the Formula 1 British Grand Prix takes place at the same time every year at Silverstone.

Positives and negatives before hosting 1

see p.88

What I need to know •

Positive and negative elements of bidding for a major sporting event.

•

Losing a bid can be positive for the bidding city or country.

Everything that a city or country does before the actual event takes place is classed as pre-event activity, because it happens before the event begins. This includes bidding to hold the event.

Bidding to host a major sporting event Positive: Local schools, clubs and community groups could benefit if they can input into the design of facilities that they can use after the event.

Positive: Bidding may focus attention on the city or country as an area for investment.

FT

Positive: Bidding can help a host country or city develop a strategy for the future (e.g. plans to build a centre of excellence for a particular sport), even if their bid is unsuccessful.

R

A

Some positives and negatives of bidding for an event

D

Negative: Bidding is expensive and might be unsuccessful.

This can make governments and governing bodies unwilling to bid because they need to find the money to do so.

Negative: England bid unsuccessfully to host the 2018 Football World Cup. The bid cost a reported £21 million, which could have been used to develop grassroots football instead.

Negative: The reputation of the bidding country or city may be damaged if the bid goes badly.

Positives and negatives before hosting 2

see p.89

What I need to know •

Bidding for events is very expensive process and lots of factors need to be considered.

•

Involving commercial partners can increase the chances of winning a bid.

Many pre-event factors need to be considered before bidding to ensure that the host city or country will be able to hold a successful event.

Financial investment in the event

Local and national objections

•

Governments and organisations try to sell the idea of hosting an event to residents by saying that the event will: •

improve the status or reputation of the host city and increase national pride.

•

improve the local area and community.

FT

Negatives: Only a few wealthy countries can afford to host the biggest major sporting events because they are so expensive. It is estimated that the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games cost the Japanese government more than £13 billion.

Positives: Companies invest in global events, often by becoming sponsors, which is good publicity for the company and gives events and their hosts the money that they need.

This can create conflict in communities because: •

the social impacts may not meet the expectations created by the bid

•

the costs are usually higher than planned

•

the failure of the bid might mean that the promised benefits never happen.

A

•

Infrastructure, transport and employment

D

R

If a bid is unsuccessful these benefits don’t happen. For example, Chicago was expected to win their bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games, but it lost. This had consequences.

•

The Olympic village site was bought with taxpayers’ money for £75 million and was never developed. Chicago is expected to pay back the debt from the bid by 2024.

The new jobs created by the event would have helped tackle Chicago’s high unemployment rates and left a positive legacy, but they didn’t happen.

Economic and sporting benefits of hosting

see p.91

What I need to know •

The benefits of hosting sporting events can be financial (economic), social or sporting.

•

Some benefits of hosting won’t be immediately obvious or glamorous.

Hosting a major sporting event can bring huge benefits. Some of these can be easy to measure, like money made from tourism, but others are more difficult to measure, such as increased national interest in sport.

Some benefits of hosting a major sporting event

(Economic) Increased short-term employment Shops and other businesses hire more staff to serve spectators and other visitors.

The event may create other jobs in construction, cleaning, security and so on.

R

A

(Economic) Increased indirect tourism Tourists continue to visit after the event because the global media made people aware of the host country or city as a destination.

FT

(Economic) Increased direct tourism Spectators stay in the host city or country to see the event. They may be domestic (from the same country) and international tourists.

They support the local economy by spending money on accommodation, event tickets, souvenirs and eating out.

D

(Sporting) Increased national interest in sport Some sports get a boost in local participation and spectator numbers because local people saw them live during the event. New role models are created and people are inspired to join local sports clubs.

•

Tourism is a huge benefit of hosting a major sporting event. The tourists who visit the host country or city will help its economy.

•

Increased interest in sport during an event can lead to local people getting involved in sport. This can have social and health benefits for the host city or country.

Social benefits of hosting

see p.92

What I need to know •

The social benefits of hosting are different to the economic benefits.

•

Social benefits can be just as important as economic benefits.

Hosting a major sporting event can have social benefits as well as economic and sporting benefits. Social benefits are those that improve the local community, the surrounding region and the country.

Social benefits of hosting a major sporting event During the London 2012 Olympic Games: there was a strong feeling of national pride and social cohesion in the UK

•

strangers came together at public events and street parties to celebrate Team GB and the UK’s successful hosting of the Games.

If a country hosts an event successfully, the world’s media celebrates their success. This can improve other people’s opinion of the host country, which is known as the shop-window effect.

FT

•

Increased national status

Improved social infrastructure

D

R

A

A wider benefit of increased morale and national pride could be that communities feel united and become more tolerant and understanding of one another, particularly in cities or countries with a diverse mix of cultures.

For example, choosing South Africa to host the 2010 Football World Cup was seen as a ‘risky’ choice due to the country’s lack of infrastructure and experience of hosting events. However, their hosting of the event was a success.

Hosting an event can improve the following types of social infrastructure, which usually benefits the local community.

•

Better transport systems

•

Improved walking and cycling paths and travel solutions (e.g. bicycle and e-scooter hire schemes)

•

New shops and shopping centres providing leisure facilities and employment for local people

Drawbacks of hosting 1

What I need to know •

The potential negative aspects (drawbacks) of hosting a major sporting event.

•

Some drawbacks cannot be controlled because they happen during the competition.

Negative media coverage For example, the 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games suffered from media reports about the host city’s struggle to complete everything on time. Issues included: unfinished buildings and leaking toilets in the athletes’ village

•

raw sewage found in the bay used for the rowing and sailing

an unfinished metro railway line to the Olympic venues.

By the time the Paralympic athletes arrived, these problems had been solved. However, the media coverage had already had a negative impact on Brazil’s reputation and its ability to host a major event.

FT

•

•

Impact of poor performances by the host nation

For example, England hosted the 2015 Rugby World Cup. England was one of the teams expected to win, but they were knocked out in the group stages.

A

A poor sporting performance by the host nation is another risk that they take when hosting an event.

Some of the potential drawbacks include: less press coverage of and interest in the competition, because local people are only really interested in the home nation’s performance

•

reduced income, especially if the host nation is knocked out, because local people won’t want to spend as much money on tickets, tourism and merchandise

•

a negative impact on national pride and morale of the country, because of the disappointment.

Drawbacks of hosting 2

see p.94

What I need to know •

Hosting a sporting event can cause division if only the host city or region benefits financially.

•

All events have problems – the most important thing is how problems are managed.

Potential for terrorism and crime

Lack of investment in regional areas

Major sporting events often suffer from an increase in crime. Here are some examples.

When public taxes pay for an event, people expect to benefit from the event, wherever they live.

At the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, 11 Israeli athletes were taken hostage by a Palestinian terrorist group. A failed rescue attempt led to the deaths of all the hostages.

•

At the 2021 European Football Championships Final at Wembley between England and Italy, parts of the crowd behaved very badly. Their violence reflected very badly on England as a nation.

For example, some people in other areas of the UK resented the London 2012 Olympic Games because they felt that only London benefitted financially and socially. They thought this because most of the events were held in London.

FT

•

Increased traffic, litter and noise

A

More people visiting the host city means more:

traffic – transport to get athletes, workers and spectators to venues quickly and safely may disrupt local people’s travels

•

noise – near venues and on the streets, with events finishing later at night than other events

•

litter – organisers usually increase the number of waste and recycling bins and have volunteers to clean up, but large numbers of spectators create a lot of litter. For example, during the 2020 European Football Championship Final between England and Italy, almost 30 tonnes of litter was left in Leicester Square, London.

What I need to know •

The long-term benefits of hosting a major sporting event.

•

The positive aspects are not just financial.

There are many ways in which the host nation or city will continue to benefit after the event if everything runs smoothly. Ideally, this legacy will earn back a lot of the costs of the event.

Immediate and long-term benefits of hosting a major sporting event

A

Increased participation in sports involved More people get involved with or play sport. Sports clubs can take the opportunity presented by increased interest to offer taster sessions for children and adults.

FT

Better or new facilities Most of the facilities built for the event are available for the public to use afterwards as the event's legacy for sport and leisure. The Olympic arenas in Seoul, Sydney and Beijing are now major music venues.

R

Examples of a positive legacy

D

Raised profile of host nation A successful event enhances the reputation of the city or country.

Because of this, companies may choose to invest in the city or country and other countries may want to work with them.

Improved transport and infrastructure Local people benefit from improvements to the travel network after the event has finished. New train or tram systems and cycle lanes will last long after the event is over.

Increased financial investment The host nation receives future financial backing if the event was successful because large companies and sponsors want to be associated with success.

Negative aspects after the sporting event

see p.97

What I need to know •

Some purpose-built facilities are abandoned because there are no plans for them after the event.

•

It is often cheaper to abandon facilities rather than repurpose or remove them.

Often, the host nation never earns back the money that they spent on hosting the event.

Immediate and long-term drawbacks of hosting an event Facilities may be underused or not used at all after the event. Some activities are so specialist and expensive to operate for the public that the facilities built for them are abandoned.

FT

For example, after the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, several facilities were never used again.

This is a photograph of the empty pool and stadium where the diving events took place.

Loss of national reputation/status

•

When South Africa hosted the 2010 men’s Football World Cup, the organisers spent almost £3 billion on new stadiums and infrastructure. They hoped these would host a new domestic league after the event, but this never happened.

The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games was the most expensive. One reason for this was that Sochi’s mild climate meant a lot of construction and snow machines were needed to make it suitable for winter sports. Other problems included:

•

Few Olympic Games earn more than they cost (make a profit). The Los Angeles 1984 Games made a profit because it used existing stadiums and infrastructure. The Rio 2016 Games made a $2 billion loss after the number of spectators was less than expected.

NGBs – promoting participation

see p.99

What I need to know •

The role of an NGB in promoting participation in its sport.

•

An NGB is responsible for all user groups, ages, cultures and ability levels.

National governing bodies (NGBs) are independent organisations responsible for managing and governing their sport. Most sports have an NGB recognised by the five UK Sports Councils.

What strategies do NGBs use?

Example: No Strings Badminton

NGBs use targeted promotion to focus on helping a specific, often underrepresented, user group.

Run by the NGB Badminton England, No Strings Badminton aims to: •

encourage anybody over 16 years to play badminton

•

make it easy to play badminton by providing equipment and a low-cost ‘pay-and-play’ scheme, so participants don’t need to join a club or be a member of a leisure centre to access the sport

•

hold sessions for all abilities that provide a fun and relaxed environment so participants return week after week.

FT

For example, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) runs Chance to Shine. This campaign aims to get children involved in all forms of cricket by: offering free resources to help schools deliver cricket activities

•

running a ‘street cricket’ campaign to help children in urban areas access cricket

•

promoting participation in hospitals and specifically for children with disabilities.
