Globally, billions of fans feverishly focus on the summer and winter Olympics. In theory, international fraternalism is boosted by these "friendly competitions," but often national rivalries eclipse the theoretical amity. How the Olympics have dealt with racism over the years offers a window to better understanding these dynamics. Since their revival in 1896, the modern Olympics were periodically agitated by political and moral conundrums. Racial tensions, the topic of this volume, reached their apex under the polarizing presidency of Avery Brundage. Race in sports cannot be disentangled from societal problems, nor can race or sports be fully understood separately. Racial conflict must be contextualized. Racism and the Olympics explores the racial landscape against which a number of major disputes evolved. The book covers various topics and events in history that portray discrimination within Olympic games, such as the Nazi games of 1936, the black American protest on the victory stand in Mexico City's Olympics, as well as international political forces that removed South Africa and Rhodesia from the Olympics. Robert G. Weisbord considers the role of international politics and the criteria that should be used to determine nations that are selected to take part in and serve as venues for the Olympic Games.

The report is divided into two parts: the Facts and the evaluation. The first part provides a summarised version of the most important facts presented in the respective candidature files as submitted on 15th August 1996. The second part is based on all the facts received by the Commission in the candidature files, from its visits to the candidate cities and from clarifications and additional information provided by the cities up to one calendar month after each visit, the Commission has prepared a text report on each city presented in alphabetical order. The comments do not necessarily reiterate the facts which are contained in the charts. In order to highlight the main strengths and challenges faced by each candidature, the Commission does not necessarily refer to each of the 19 themes nor to all of the Olympic Summer sports in each of the reports. The report reflects the unanimous opinion of the members of the Commission. Eleven cities are candidate for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games : Athens (GRE), Buenos Aires (ARG), Cape Town (RSA), Istanbul (TUR), Lille (FRA), Rio de Janeiro (BRA), Rome (ITA), San Juan (PUR), Seville (ESP), Stockholm (SWE) and St-Petersburg (RUS).
