This research aims to analyse the memories of the Rio 2016 Olympic Flame Guardians as immaterial heritage and sociocultural legacy of the Olympic Games Rio 2016. The so-called "Olympic Flame Guardians" were a group of men and women who had the "mission" of protect this Olympic symbol during the torch relay. Despite such important role there is a lack of studies about them. The study written sources are documents research at the Olympic Studies Centre. Based on the oral history method, all Rio 2016 Flame Guardians were interviewed. The research results indicate that the Guardian role got prominence with other nomenclatures since Los Angeles 1984; when the function was created to assist in the relay and display sponsor brands. The event impact on Rio 2016 Guardians was analysed in three categories: (1) personal, related to acquired self-knowledge; (2) social-cultural, related to the acquisition of knowledge of different social realities and regional cultures in the country; (3) technical, related to the skills acquired for the role. A conclusion reveals that the Rio 2016 Guardians was a unique opportunity to create "public value" as intangible legacy because of their lived moment during the relay and not by any legacy plan.

The Flame Relay and the Olympic Movement is the first book-length scholarly study in English of the contemporary Olympic flame relay. Reporting for the first time on years of intensive ethnographic research and organizational intervention, MacAloon literally follows the Olympic flame through twenty years of intercultural encounter, conflict, and negotiation. Focusing on the frequently harmonious, sometimes perilous encounters among Greek flame relay officials, cultural agents, and discourses, foreign Olympic Games organizing committees, and such transnational actors as the IOC and its corporate sponsors since 1984, a context is created for understanding the significance for the Olympic movement and for globalization studies of the 2004 Athens flame relay, the first to travel the entire world. Through intensive interviews and co-participations with leading Greek and American actors and the contributions of young Greek researchers who worked backstage on the relay, Bearing Light demonstrates how culturally parochial the managerial regime of "world’s best practices" often turns out to be and yet how inescapable it has become for those who wish to communicate across cultural and political boundaries. This dilemma, the contributors argue, constitutes the practical form in which the struggle to preserve a sense of "Olympism" and "the Olympic Movement" against the demands and prerogatives of today’s Olympic sports industry is being chiefly fought out. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society

Tracing their origins back to the Greeks in 776 BC, the history of the Olympics is a glorious one but it has had its darker moments.During the First World War no fewer than 135 Olympians perished. Many had won Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. They came not just from the UK, Germany, France, USA but from all over the globe.Wyndham Halswelle, killed in action on 31 March 1915, won a Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in both field and track events. The Frenchman Leon Flameng, the fastest cyclist ever, died on 2 January 1917, having won Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in the 1896 Olympics. The German Fritz Bartholomae, killed in action 12 September 1915, won a Bronze in the rowing eights during the 1912 Olympics. The list of these heroes goes on and on. Each Olympian, who made the supreme sacrifice, is honoured in this magnificent book by a summary of their life, sporting achievement and manner of their death.
