The Olympic Sport in Brazil has as main management institutions the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) and the Brazilian Confederations of Olympic sports. But how they interact financially and how does this relation influence the dynamic of Brazilian sporting field? After data collection in official reports and with theoretical subsidies of Pierre Bourdieu, we could find that the COB transferences to Brazilian Confederations reinforce dominant and dominated positions in the sporting field. COB justifies this current management in a paradox mean if we compare that this entity proposes the development of sport. In this sense, we consider that some Bourdieu's concepts can unveil hidden mechanisms of domination in the sporting field of the 2016 Olympic Games host country.
