Keywords:

The Olympic Sport in Brazil has as main management institutions the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) and the Brazilian Confederations of Olympic sports (CBs). As responsible for developing sport in Brazil, what financial relation these entities have? After data collection in official sources and with theoretical subsidies of Pierre Bourdieu, we could find that the COB transferences to CBs reinforce dominant and dominated positions in the sporting field. COB justifies this current management in a paradox mean if we compare that this entity proposes the development of sport. In this sense, we consider that some Bourdieusian concepts can unveil hidden mechanisms of domination in the sporting field of the 2016 Olympic Games host country.Key-words: Brazil; Sport; Organization and Administration.Downloads
