Conservative assertion of immutable values Comprehensive investigation of the system of Olympic values leads to the following conclusions: There has been no essential change in the Olympic value concepts since the beginning of this century. (Strictly speaking, it is this continuity that enables one to speak of the one structure of aims and values). The constancy of values furthered the smooth continuity of the movement and its adhesion to the aims. (Lenk 1964: lines 218 – 233, emphasis added)) Contesting of older values Parts of this description of Olympism are still valid today as an ideal but other parts are not…The effects of economic, sociological, scientific and political shifts cause adjustments and adaptations to be made in the ideas and systems under which people live. Olympism has not escaped untouched. Today's sporting values are not those of 1896 and sporting behaviours reflect the new attitudes. (Leiper 1980: lines 3 – 32, emphasis added)
