This paper is based on 121 empirical fieldwork completed in Baku in the months following the event. However, the downturn due to the fall of international oil prices negatively affected the impact of the sporting event. This served to internationally portray Azerbaijan as a rapidly developing country and increase national consciousness in society, which was lacking a collective narrative in the post-Soviet era. The multi-sports event brought together twenty sports categories, and 6.000 athletes representing all the 50 European states.
These Games were framed in a trend involving large-scale sports events promoted by the Ilham Aliyev regime, based on the profits of the second oil boom in the 21st century in the country. University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, Spain The 2015 Baku European Games, the first multi-sports mega-event held at a European level, was a major image boosting attempt undertaking by the young state of Azerbaijan.

Motor racing, on the other hand, which was far less present in Belgian media, took pole position among the sports represented (think of the successful series Michel Vaillant). For instance football, the most popular sport among Belgians and in the media at that time, received relatively limited attention in comics published in Belgium. One of the conclusions of this exploratory research is that comics should be considered as a mirror that distorts historical social reality: in comics some aspects of reality disappear, while other aspects are strongly magnified. The evolution of these sports as depicted in comics is contextualized within the evolution of sport in wider Belgian society: their popularity (whether as spectator or participatory sports) and how they played a role in as indicators of class distinction. But that goes without saying.Préférences pour des sports dans la bande dessinée belge et dans la société belge (1954-1964) This empirical study aims to quantify the relative importance of different sports in certain types of comics from the period 1954 to 1964-including both language traditions in Belgian graphic narratives, Francophone and Flemish. Riefenstahl's footage is also more beautiful and better edited, and the athletes in general look LESS like fascist monuments and more like human beings than they do today. but then, Australia is a democracy the real shock is finding out that even HITLER'S regime could produce more even-handed, tasteful and intelligent Olympics coverage than we'll ever see from a modern commercial network.
Australian sports coverage, of course, was much better when it was in the hands of the state (or rather, the state-owned ABC network). Only other Australians can fully appreciate the horror of this. Riefenstahl shows races won by people other than Germans (and yes, some of them are non-Aryan) - she even shows us enough of the presentation ceremonies afterwards for us to be able to hear other national anthems! During the local coverage of the Sydney games I heard NOTHING but "Advance Australia Fair". It's amazing how much more crass and brazenly nationalistic modern coverage is when compared with Nazi propaganda. (Surely if the film were to wave the swastika offensively, it would do so around the beginning, and the introductory sequence is just marvellous - it no more deserves to be associated with Nazism than Orff's "Carmina Burana".) In any case, if they edited all the jingoism out of a modern, two-hundred-hour Olympic telecast, it would last about ten minutes. I mention this because it's quite possible that "Olympia" is the version with the jingoism edited out. Split into two parts for German release, it was edited somewhat and released simply as "Olympia" elsewhere, and it's "Olympia" that I've seen. The most striking thing about Riefenstahl's documentary, viewed today, is its good taste. Does it worry you that most of the stuff we most fondly associate with the Olympics originated with the Nazis? It doesn't worry me: the Nazis' moral sense may have been deplorable, but their aesthetic sense was not nearly so bad as people like to pretend. In a way these are the first modern games. It was the 1936 Berlin Games that introduced the opening ceremony, the torch relay, the three-tiered presentation ceremony, and the overall sense of lavish, religious spectacle.
