Type an essay that answers the following two-part question: Which modern Olympiad (1896-present) best embodied the Olympic visions of IOC Presidents Pierre de
Coubertin and Avery Brundage? Which modern Olympiad most forcefully contradicted their visions? Why? What can the disparity between your two chosen examples tell about
the broader themes of global sport history? An outstanding essay(1) will have a clearly stated thesis statement that explicitly answers the above question; (2) will
support that argument by explaining what the visions of Coubertin and Brundage were and why the Games you have selected embodied or contradicted these visions; and (3)
will present counter-evidencein the form of a paragraph(s) in which you both account for any inconsistencies in your own argument and briefly discuss at least two
other Olympic Games that you might have selected as your answer to the question (that is, at least one that embodied their vision and one that contradicted it) but
then reiterate why your choices provide the better answer.
