skih saveza, županijskih športskih zajednica i Zagrebačkog športskog saveza, otvoreno su govorile o temama koje, po njihovom mišljenju, duboko priječe uravnoteženost bavljenja športom u Hrvatskoj. No da se ipak napredovalo, govori činjenica da je u nacionalnoj politici za ravnopravnost spolova (2011.- 2015.) prvi put definiran prijedlog kako urediti ovo područje. O tome je govorila predstojnica Vladinog ureda RH za ravnopravnost spolova Helena Štimac Radin, naglasivši da je uravnoteženost zastupljenosti spola u bilo kojem području, pa tako i u športu, uvjet napredovanja hrvatskoga društva u cjelini. Koordinatorice su svoja stajališta koncipirale u smjeru uvođenja nacionalne statistike žena u športu, obveze izbora od 40 % do 2015. godine, politike prava na korištenje športske infrastrukture i planiranju kvalitete sadržaja, projekcije planskog i uravnoteženog stručnog usavršavanja, osposobljavanja i zapošljavanja u športu te osvješćivanju nenasilnog govora i ponašanja unutar športa općenito.

Solid support for European Games In Sochi, host of the 2014 Winter Olympics, General assembly of the European Olympic Committees’ (EOC) was held on 23rd and 24th of November. Under the chairmanship of the EOC President Patrick Hickey, the Assembly gathered more than 300 representatives from 49 national committees within the EOC, numerous members of the International Olympic Committee led by the IOC President Jacques Rogge, representatives of the Organizing Committees of the forthcoming summer and winter Olympic Festivals of European Youth (EYOF) and other notables of the European and international sports among which were also the Croatian representatives, president of the HOO (Croatian Olympic Committee) who is at the same time a member of the Executive Board of the EOC Zlatko Matesa, and Secretary General of the COC Josip Cop. The major topic of the EOC’s General Assembly was European games modeled on other continental games, for which the leadership of EOC commissioned a feasibility study. According to the report of the consulting company Deloitte (which conducted the study), these games are very likely, have a strong support of 28 European sports federations and financially could be more than useful for the development of European sports. Whether the European Games will become a reality depends on the decision of the members of the EOC assembly at the special session to be held on April 12th, 2012, during the General Assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC). For the first time the European Olympic Committees awarded the prize for the best young athlete, “Piotr Nurowski”, named after the President of the Polish Olympic Committee tragically deceased in 2010 in a plane crash. The award, on whose shortlist was also the Croatian female judo fighter Barbara Matic, won the Polish cyclist Tobiasz Lis. EOC’s Annual Awards for 2011 on the contribution to the development of European sports went to David Hemery, avice president of the British Olympic Committee, Alain Calmat, French Olympic silver medal winner in figure skating at the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Olympics and Luis Santos, president of the Portuguese Handball Association. The next, 41st General Assembly of the EOC, will be held in 2012 in Eilat (Israel). We want balanced conditions for practicing sports! Under the leadership of the member of Croatian Olympic Committee and President of the Commission on women in sports, Morana Palikovic Gruden, in Opatija was held the 4th seminary of the Network for Women, Female coordinators in sports. Female coordinators in sports, all of them with rich playing, organizational, administrative or management experience in the sports, more than 60 from the national sports federations, county sports communities and the Zagreb Sports Association, openly spoke about issues which, in their opinion, profoundly hinder the balance of sports activities in Croatia. However, some development was achieved, what also confirms the fact that in national policy on gender equality (2011 - 2015) the proposal to regulate this issue was defined for the first time. Helena Stimac Radin, head of the Croatian Government Office on Gender Equality, spoke about this issue, emphasizing that the balance of gender representation in any branch, as well as in sports, is a condition for advancement of Croatian society as a whole. The female coordinators drafted their positions through the following conclusions leading towards : a) keeping the national statistics on women in sports b) the obligations of electing at least 30 percent of women in managerial positions by the end of year 2012, and 40 by 2015. c) the policy of the right to use the sports infrastructure and planning of quality content d) raising the awareness of non-violent speech and behavior within the sports e) projections of planned and balanced professional development, training and employment in sports.
