HOST CITY CONTRACT OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Summary
Sport, as a part of social life, is existing just recently. Sport development, as we know, starts at the end of 19th centuary, but its zenith and beginning are shaped through Olympic spirit. Тhe meaning of the Olympic spirit today represents the rule of fair competition, leaving domains of Machiavellism and old principle that the goal justifies the means.
Organizing Olympic games means very complicated and responsible sum of legal affairs, because it includes different contracts and participation of different contract partners. The results themselves are sometimes visible only after a long period of time. The most important contract refered to organizing Olympic games is Host city contract, concluded between International Olympic committee and the city that organize the Olympic games.
Key words: sport, mega event, Olympic games, contract, Host city, International olympic committee
