SPORTO MOKSLAS<br />
and D. Rasimovičiūtė, the second – for A. Novoselskis<br />
and V. Rumiancevas and the first for M. Strolia and<br />
M. Vaičiulis. After the 20 th Winter Olympic Games<br />
in Torino had ended, according to the decision (23 rd<br />
March, 2006, No 7) of Executive Committee of<br />
Lithuanian National Olympic Committee (LNOC), the<br />
Experts Commission was formed which analyzed the<br />
results of Lithuanian athletes in the Games and gave<br />
recommendations on how to prepare the national team<br />
for 21 st Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. When<br />
comprehensively considering winter sports athletes’<br />
training system in our country and evaluating their<br />
training peculiarities, possibilities and weaknesses,<br />
the programme “Vancouver 2010” was formed. Today<br />
we can state that those development goals of winter<br />
sport disciplines anticipated in the programme were<br />
not implemented during the four-year Olympic cycle.<br />
LNOC Executive Committee will officially evaluate<br />
the results of Lithuanian athletes in Vancouver Winter<br />
Olympic Games but, in my opinion, our country<br />

representatives have achieved results parallel to their<br />
possibilities.<br />
After the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver have<br />
ended we already have to think of athletes who could<br />
be delegated to the 22 nd Winter Olympic Games in<br />
Sochi (Russia). Sport federations and other concerned<br />
sport organizations will play an important role as well<br />
as important will be attention and actions of cities and<br />
districts municipalities in athletes’ training process.<br />
When trying to look wider, excluding goals set after<br />
Torino Olympic Games and left them unrealized (and<br />
they must be realized!), it is needed to stay unconfined<br />
with “traditional” sport disciplines and to think of<br />
possibilities how to develop such skiing disciplines<br />
- acrobatic skiing, various snow boarding contests -<br />
that do not claim for many investments. Nevertheless<br />
the main task in developing winter sport in Lithuania<br />
remains the same – establishing conditions. And this is<br />
a concern of nation and municipalities.<br />
Keywords: Winter Olympic Games, Olympic cycle,<br />
