Pyeongchang, Munich or Annency? - The members of the International Olympic Committee had to answer this question yesterday afternoon . Which of these cities should be the successor of Sochi and thus host the Olympic Winter Games in 2018. At the end they chose clearly for the city in South Korea with 63 of the 95 votes. Munich got 25 and Annency 7 votes.

In his book Olympic Education, Roland Naul answers the question, what the term "Olympic" really means in the broader context of the Olympic Games movement and as a global purpose and new challenge for a balanced physical, social and moral education. Olympic Education has a traditional vision and an important future mission that is relevant for all children and youths, in schools as well as in sport clubs.

In five parts and fifteen chapters, the book shows why the Olympic ideals are a modern challenge not only for a new physical and sport education but also for the development of essential life skills for today. It introduces pedagogical and didactical fundamentals for an Olympic education, in order to bring motor abilities, social behaviour and moral actions in sports and everyday life back together again – in the mind, learning and actions of children and youths, but also of grown-ups in the social settings where young people live.
