The main topic of this thesis is the presentation of the Olympic movement and modern Olympic Games in the public of Banska Hrvatska, more precisely in newspapers and magazines that were published at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. They will talk about the general development of the Olympic Games and the movement as an idea, that is, the very roots of the development of the idea of exercise and sport from which the movement developed. The paper will also look at the presentation of the ancient Olympic Games to the Croatian public in order to further emphasize the importance of the Games themselves. Sports journals published at the turn of the century were studied, from which detailed information was obtained: on the course of the ancient Olympic Games, the development and course of the Olympic movement, the manifestation of the movement in Croatia, the first Olympic Games, and events after their holding. The studied newspaper brings news about the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. They bring readers closer to the atmosphere around the games, competitions, and their coverage. Three prominent sports magazines are covered, as well as several daily newspapers and a two-monthly newspaper. The representation of the Olympic Games in Paris in 1900 and St Louis in 1904 in newspapers was also studied.
