With her book Olympic Industry Resistance, Lenskyj continues her long and valuable tradition of critique of the Olympic industry, including articles such as "When Winners are Losers: Toronto and Sydney Bids for the Summer Olympics" (Journal of Sport & Social Issues, 1996), "Sport and Corporate Environmentalism" (International Review for the Sociology of Sport, 1998), and books such as Inside the Olympic Industry: Power, Politics and Activism (2000) and The Best Olympics Ever?: Social Impacts of Sydney 2000 (2002). In this latest book, Lenskyj focuses on two aspects of the industry: the uncritical media coverage of the Olympics, particularly in relation to the bidding process and preparations by the host cities, and the Olympic educational/promotional materials used by schools, which indoctrinate children into the "Olympic family," thereby securing an audience for future Olympic games.
