“…However, the possibility of there being no public in these activities was not considered in the strategic planning phase of environmental leverage. In order to overcome the effects of this possibility, alliances and strategic partnerships should be established with local sport and non-sport organisations and structures capable of stimulating the participation of the local community (Aizawa et al, 2023;Chalip et al, 2017;Chen & Misener, 2019;Lu & Misener, 2023;Sant et al, 2023), such as schools and/or bodyboarding schools, as suggested by the participants of the present study. These local entities should be able to foster the connection between the environmental values of the sport subculture and the community.…”

“…In order to overcome the adverse effects caused by lack of communication, it is essential to have a team responsible for disseminating information to all entities involved in the process. This way, the necessary coordination for the effectiveness of leverage efforts will be ensured (Chen & Misener, 2019;Lu & Misener, 2023;Sobral et al, 2023). For example, the relationship established between academia and the local government and other organisers of the events, contextualised in action research, could play the role of active participant in the research team, as an external agent/facilitator (Sampson, 2023;Schulenkorf et al, 2019), effectively disseminating information across the entities involved in the various phases of the strategic leverage process.…”

The proactivity in the management of sport events is essential to maximise environmental benefits for the host communities through strategic leverage. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the process of strategic environmental leverage in an international nature-based non-mega event of sport tourism (Sintra PRO 2022 - stage of the IBC World Bodyboarding Tour) by means of action research. Data collection combined several methods and sources, namely, document research, nominal group sessions, field observation, and interviews conducted with organisers and partners of the event. Three actions, which synergistically linked the environmental values of community projects and the sport subculture, were implemented in order to focus stakeholders' attention on the environmental topics. The availability of local resources and the involvement of the network of local partners facilitated the implementation of environmental leverage. On the other hand, the lack of communication between those involved in the operationalisation and promotion of environmental leverage actions was a constraint in the process. This study highlights several implications for environmental leverage in sport events, as well as for the applicability of the environmental leverage model to promote strategic planning and the implementation of the resulting strategic environmental leverage actions in sport events.

“…Major event legacies for CIDBs can benefit from leverage, meaning that using strategically designed activities and initiatives, targeting CIDBs, can bring about benefits beyond the delivery of the events. More recently, Lu and Misener (2022) have shown that leveraging partnerships established after major sporting events is crucial to ensure accessibility of facilities and pathways for people with disabilities. This is necessary to enable them to achieve their full potential in sport and recreation.…”

This consensus statement is the outcome of comprehensive collaboration through an international working group on the disparities in the legacies of major sporting events, specifically for communities and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds (CIDBs). The workshop brought together scholars to discuss current challenges and develop four propositions and recommendations for event leveraging, policy stakeholders, and researchers. The propositions included (1) the nature of ‘disadvantage’ needs to be recognised and the specific targeted CIDBs in each event context must be carefully identified or clearly defined; (2) CIDBs should be considered as an integral part of the whole event hosting cycle to ensure legacy inclusivity; (3) dedicated event leverage, sufficient financial backing and resource commitments for CIDBs are needed; and (4) it is critical to establish a system of legacy governance for CIDBs. The recommendations aim to inform change in practice and ensure lasting positive legacies for the communities that need them most.

“…On the one hand, the capacity of 2010LN's interactive governance system developed during the pre-Games phase allowed it to evolve into the more autonomous self-governance system of LIFT. Its pre-Games experience facilitated quickly overcoming challenges associated with decreasing momentum post-Games (Lu & Misener, 2022). As there is commonly less funding and support for legacy projects after the Games (Gammon, 2015), the LIFT case suggests that pre-Games capacity affects a legacy organization's ability to sustain post-Games legacy.…”

This study examines the governance of post-Olympic Games legacy organizations. A cross-case comparative analysis was completed by focusing on post-Games legacy organizations from three Winter Olympics (Salt Lake City 2002, Vancouver 2010, and PyeongChang 2018). Drawing on a governance framework, this research investigates the politics (stakeholder relationships), polity (institutional structures), and policy (the policy content and instruments) dimensions of governance, and explores modes of governance that facilitate collective action taken by these organizations. Data for this study included archival materials and semistructured interviews with key representatives from the relevant organizations. Three different post-Games legacy organization governance modes (public–private, interactive, and self-governance) were identified, and a conceptual model of the governance of post-Games legacy organizations is proposed. The findings have theoretical and practical implications that expand our understanding of the governance of Olympic legacy.
