| Summary: | Sport asceticism and community life style: the everyday life of elite athletes.The survey takes place in a national elite athletes center called the ‘ National Institut of Sport and Physical Education ‘(INSEP). Its functionning shows many similarities with monastic life which allows us to look at it as a “practiced utopia”. A form of asceticism seems to be the means to achieve this new utopia. Its is seen as the framework from which interpersonal relationships are created or drift apart.
