Abstract

The international representation in sport presents several juridical aspects that raise problems of interesting discussion in the frame of an International Congress. The Olympic Chart speaks about nations and identifies the same ones with those that are recognized internationally. Nevertheless in the last times there exist «nations» or regions that are not recognized states that have obtained international representation independent from the State to which they belong. The inscription of the Catalan Federation/Governing body of Roller Skating in the International Roller Skating governing body has been a sample of it. Will an international Olympic representation of Catalonia be possible, in the frame of the Olympic Games?, the Spanish legislation and various judgments of the Supreme Spanish Court avoid it. But Catalonia try to achieve her international recognition independently of the spanish legislation that regulates/implements international representation of Spain as an alone/unique State.
