Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on Olympic sports context, considering the hierarchy of the institutional between sports over school, a common fact in Brazil. The article draws on recent works of renowned intellectuals, as well as close observation of television coverage of the London Olympics, including an interview with Carlos Nuzman, President of the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB). Bracht argued that the logic that defines the action on the sports field is not influenced by educational attainment. Taking this argument into account, it is suggested that the results demonstrate that sports generate enough questionable influences on the educational field.
