Description
Summary:When the Rio 2016 Olympic cycle started, a major subject was the Brazilian sports results agenda. Studies focused on results between nations have revealed that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the medals table treat the subject almost simplistically. Besides that, we have the Brazil Medals 2016 Plan. The goal of this study is to analyze the policy adopted by the country for the Rio 2016 Olympic Cycle by addressing the question: Is a financial investment required to construct an Olympic power? The intention of Brazil is to place in the top ten in the Olympics and in the top five in the Paralympic Games. To accomplish this, the strategy is focused on growth in terms of continuing to win medals in sports we have previously won, and also winning medals in sports without this tradition. The conclusion was that such efficiency would not be achieved only through financial investment. Analysis of Brazil Medals 2016 Plan shows an apparent fragility, which may prompt the need for an emergency plan for the Rio 2016 Olympic Cycle. Keywords: Sport Management; Sports Policy; Rio 2016. Con el inicio del Ciclo Olimpico Rio 2016, el tema resultado deportivo entro en la agenda deportiva brasilena. Los estudios centrados en la busqueda de resultados entre naciones han puesto de manifiesto que el tema es tratado de forma casi simplista a traves del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) y la tabla de medallas. Al mismo tiempo, se puso en marcha el Plan Brasil Medallas. Dicho esto, el objetivo del estudio es analizar la politica adoptada por el pais para el Ciclo Olimpico Rio 2016 a traves de la pregunta formulada: basta solo la inversion financiera para la construccion de una potencia Olimpica? El objetivo del Plan Brasil Medallas 2016 es estar entre los diez primeros en los Juegos Olimpicos y entre los cinco primeros en los Juegos Paralimpicos a traves de una estrategia centrada en el crecimiento de medallas ganadas en las modalidades ya activadas, y la conquista de medallas en las modalidades sin esta tradicion. La conclusion fue que solo la inversion financiera no es capaz de mejorar la eficiencia en relacion con los resultados de los Juegos Olimpicos. El analisis del Plan Brasil Medallas 2016 defiende una fragilidad aparente, que puede ser percibido como un plan de emergencia para el Ciclo Olimpico de Rio 2016. Palabras-clave: Gestion del Deporte; Politica Deportiva; Rio 2016. Com o inicio do Ciclo Olimpico Rio 2016, o tema resultado esportivo entrou na agenda esportiva brasileira.
