ABSTRACT
The leverage perspective takes a prospective approach to legacy and focuses on how different organisations use an event as a catalyst to implement their own organisational goals. This paper examines how the second winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Lillehammer in 2016 were leveraged to increase participation in organised and non-organised sport among regional youth. The analytical framework is based on available sport participation leverage literature. This is a case study using interviews with representatives from involved organisations, archival materials and observations as its main sources. The findings show that event organisations, sport organisations and non-sport organisations formed alliances to leverage the 2016 YOG for sport participation with intervention programmes and new infrastructure as the two main strategies. The sport participation legacy outcomes of the 2016 YOG were constrained by a lack of long-term strategies and limited resources made available after the Games. To maximise the sport participation goals, strong alliances and long-term commitments need to be formed among local and regional organisations.

以体育赛事创造体育参与度:以2016年青奥会为例
摘要
杠杆视角采用前瞻性方法处理遗留问题,重点关注不同组织如何利用事件作为催化剂来实现其组织目标。本文探讨了如何利用 2016 年在利勒哈默尔举行的第二届冬季青年奥运会 (YOG) 来增加区域青年对有组织和无组织的体育运动的参与。分析框架基于可用的体育参与杠杆文献。这是一个案例研究,使用对相关组织代表的访谈、档案材料和观察作为主要来源。调查结果显示,赛事组织、体育组织和非体育组织结成联盟,利用 2016 年青奥会以干预项目和新基础设施作为两大主要战略参与体育运动。2016 年青奥会的体育参与遗产成果受到缺乏长期战略和奥运会后可用资源有限的限制。为了最大限度地实现体育参与目标,需要在地方和区域组织之间形成强大的联盟和长期承诺。
