SSSF, a multidisciplinary social sciences sport studies journal, welcomes articles that deal with sport and social change and social stability in a wide sense, articles about the profound and comprehensive processes affecting sport. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: Open water swimmer Sally Bauer – a star but not a heroine by Claes Annerstedt & Marie Annerstedt (open access).

This peer review article by Jannicke Stålstrøm, Zack P. Pedersen & Marina Iskhakova examines the influence of Olympism in a cross-cultural context within the Youth Olympic Games educational program. A mixed methods approach was used to analyse both quantitative and qualitative data from former Singaporean and Norwegian Youth Olympic Games athletes. The findings indicate that when comparing Singaporean and Norwegian athletes, Singaporean athletes appear to be more receptive towards the Youth Olympic Games educational program and its impact.
