The premature death of this wellknown former judo fighter after a long struggle with serious illness was a tragedy for us, and his memory will always be revered at the EFPM.

We will always revere his memory, and will remember him in our prayers. Here, he is seen in happier days at the 16th Congress in Prague: he is raising his glass to the health of World Fair Play. May God rest his soul! We mourn the loss of Christian Blareau The European Fair Play community regrets the loss of one of its long-serving and true members, Mr. Christian Blareau. He passed away at the age of 60 years. Born in 1951, he obtained his Ph.D. in History from the University of Paris in 1975 and also obtained Master degrees in geography and sport law, economics and sports organization management. He was a professor of sports law, economics and management at the National Institute of Sports and Physical Education (INSEP) and at the same time he was the director of their continuing education program. He worked for the Minister of Health as a professor preparing future teachers for the national sports exam in various disciplines from He also taught sports law, economy and management at the University of Evry and Paris. Mr. Blareau was a former Judo National Champion (1982), an international judge for Ju Jitsu and was elected until 2012 as President of the European Union of Ju Jitsu. From 2004, he was the French delegate to EFPM and was elected as Executive Committee member of the European Fair Play Movement, during the 14th EFP Congress, held in Nicosia, 2008, being appointed as Treasurer of our Organisation. He fulfilled this task with great enthusiasm and affection, despite his progressivy illness. Mr. Blareau was also the co-author of several books on sports education and contributed to the symposium collection published by AFSVFP. May the EFPM organisation express its deepest sympathy with Mr. Blareau's family. The EFPM movement will truly miss a valuable member. A minute s silence was observed to honour of the memory of Christian Blareau at the second meeting of the EFPM General Assembly in Porec, and at the subsequent 17th General Assembly he was remembered with respect and affection.

9 9 NEWS FROM FAIR PLAY AWARDS...FAIR PLAY AWARDS...FAIR PLAY AWARDS...FAIR PLAY AWARDS... The European Fair Play Awards go to 4 countries Sports competitors, athletes and institutions from the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia receive awards POREC- The Awards Jury of the EFPM led by Miroslav Cerar announced the European Fair Play Awards under the auspices of the European Olympic Committees in 2010: European Plaque of Merit and Diploma goes to Jiri Prudil (CZE) - On the final circuit of the MTB cup, May 23, 2010, Leos Balak came second, when he got a puncture in his rear wheel and could not continue racing. He decided to run the remaining 4 km to the finish line with the bike on his shoulder. He had a 10-minute lead on Jiri Prudil, third at that moment, but around 20 metres before the line Jiri Prudil caught up with Leos Balak. Then something unexpected happened: When Jiri Prudil saw Leos Balak s injured shoulder from carrying the bike, he stopped and waited until Balak had passed the finishing line. In doing this he even risked being overtaken by another competitor. The Lithuanian Museum of Sports, for its exemplary educational and charity activities in the spirit of Fair Play. For almost 20 years now, the Lithuanian Museum of Sports has been providing financial support to injured athletes, former athletes suffering from financial difficulties and handicapped athletes to cover their medical costs. In fact, not benefiting from any governmental financial support, the Museum has successfully established a system to raise substantial financial means, mainly thanks to volunteers work, expositions organized for local artists, schools, and public / governmental institutions. This extraordinary spirit and excellent work have been broadly recognised by the Lithuanian public. European Diploma goes to Edward Bugala (POL) - former outstanding Polish track and field athlete, who for many years has been a very well esteemed and highly respected coach in the Polish Athletics Association.

A founding member of the EFPM Darko Dujmovic Reunion with a very good friend Darko Dujmovic, a founding member of the EFPM POREC- The 17th European Fair Play Congress in Porec provided the opportunity for EFPM members to enjoy a reunion with a very old friend. One of the signatories to our foundation document at the meeting at FIFA House in Zurich on 27th May 1994 was Darko Dujmovic, representing the Croatian National Olympic Committee. Seventeen years later, it gave Darko great pleasure to see the EFPM s 17th Congress being held in his own country. In 1995, Zagreb (where the first Fair Play Symposium was due to be held) was bombed in the civil war, so the event had to be cancelled. Darko took photographs at the congress; EFPM members were very pleased to see him and expressed their thanks for his services to the EFPM.

Cont d from pa ge 5 Fair Play is Healthy body health, author, lecturer. Does Fair Play make people healthy? I asked a young martial artist to whose technical perfection at the black belt exam applauded even by the judges. The young man answered: You must be fair to yourself, not fantasize that you have skills that you don t have. Without truthfulness with yourself you cannot have inner calm. You cannot lie to yourself in training. You must know whether or not your training is diligent and focused or not. Where you are with your conditioning and skills, Where you are strong, where you are healthy, what you need to repair. That helps you to understand others and is healthy for everybody. This young man s martial arts teacher was slow in awarding the color belts used for student motivation. His old-fashioned cultivation of the body-mind-spirit through the mastering of details of forms, moral conduct, courage, benevolence, honor, loyalty, and courtesy towards everyone, including opponents, infused Code of Ethics, the Bushido, into their lives. But these virtues were born not exclusively in the ancient East. Remarkably, they match the Code of Knights in the West and Codes of Honor professed in the North, South - and everywhere in between. Long before worldwide communication these Codes evolved. Interestingly, they are naturally observable also in children s free after-school play. Thus I believe that they are organic pattern of human civilization. When I was training for basketball, team handball and discus throwing, the coaches and physical educators prioritized in training, and over winning, Kalos kai Agathos, inner and outer bodymind-spirit development. I am grateful that in athletics, arts, and academics my schooling in Czechoslovakia followed that educational objective of the Golden Era of Greece. It enabled me to see humans not as shadowy figures on grim fields, but as good and noble ones striving to cultivate the finest values of our species. Baron Pierre de Coubertin advocated Sports For All as beneficial to physical, as well as, intellectual and spiritual health and lowering barriers. Sports, however, also mirror relationships in society. Currently, battles for career advances convinced also sports managers and athletes that winning and money are more important than pure athleticism and character development. The sharp-elbowed struggle to win cups of cash pushed aside sportsmanship and honesty. Loss of safe neighborhood play spaces, parents jobs that leave little time to spend with kids in spontaneous activities, and other factors made it necessary for parents to search for vacation sport camps, for example. But many reach way beyond that. Forgetting that children are not miniature adults they prod their sons or daughters to become sport stars with hours of drilling and evaluating by adults. Major businesses have grown around parental ambitions to make their child into a star be it in sports or other academic or art disciplines. Skill-specific training of children is resulting in handpicking those who have physical attributes predictably suitable for whichever sports it may be. Since athletic maturation takes to age of 25, building on early predictions is a gamble that may curb kids discovering other interests. Emerging from the utilitarian outlook on sports are statistics on sharp increase in teen sports injuries and deaths; youth collapsing under the weight of adults expectations and quitting; drug use; ignorance of rules of sportsmanship and outright cheating. In the words of Dr. Mate about the roots of unfairness: "Unfairness arises from a sense of belief, conscious or unconscious that persons are not adequate in themselves, that they 'need' some achievement or the recognition of others to complete who they are. The more inadequate individuals perceive themselves to be, the more they will seek to gain success and recognition no matter what the cost to themselves or others. Cheating may bring a temporary satisfaction, but only undermines that already shaky sense of self. Dishonesty concretizes the isolation from others that is the original cause of the inadequacy. And isolation brings consequences that harm both physical and mental health. The Fair Play Movement s relentless influence, the Olympic movement, and private enterprise participants promoting both, jointly can create a powerful engine for restoration of body-mind-spirit values and wellness in sports and education.
