The End of an Era? The Olympic Idea at the Turn of the Millennium, and the Path to the Postmodern Olympic Games
 Vojáček, Tomáš ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Koura, Jan (referee)
This thesis is an analysis of the extensive transformation of the Olympic movement, which occurred at the end of the 20th century. The main focus is on the importance of the XXIII Olympiad in Los Angeles, regarded as a major milestone in the history of the modern Olympic movement. The introductory chapter deals with the 1970s' crisis of the Olympic movement. The second chapter describes the complications related to the allocation of the Olympic Games to Los Angeles. Based on the XXIII Olympiad, the third and the fourth chapter analyse the revolution in Olympic marketing. The objective of the fifth chapter is to demonstrate the need for the financial independence of the Olympic movement in the context of the Cold War, the Soviet boycott in particular. The last two chapters deal with the commercialization of the Olympic movement, the reform of the IOC and the discussion regarding the timeliness of the Olympic values.

"Miracle on the Ice" (1980): Contribution to the American-Soviet Sport Rivalry during the Cold War
 Vojáček, Tomáš ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Koura, Jan (referee)
Bachelor thesis discusses how in the era of the Cold War there was a confrontation on the sports field between the United States and the Soviet Union. Great attention is paid to the Olympic Games, which are considered to be one of the major sporting events. The initial two chapters discuss the nature of the sport in the United States and the Soviet Union. The third chapter presents a sport rivalry in the historical context of the Cold War and keeps track of how the conflict between the superpowers has influenced the development of the Olympic Games and sport in general. On the example of XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, the final chapter practically demonstrates how political ambitions could be presented on the sports field to influence the thinking and the mood of the public. A large portion of the chapter is also an analysis of how the propagandistic potential of sports, especially the Olympic Games, was used by political leaders of great powers.
