Oslo, Almaty and Beijing become Candidate Cities for the Olympic Winter Games 2022

Oslo, Almaty and Beijing become Candidate Cities for the Olympic Winter Games 2022

07/07/2014
The Executive Board (EB) of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) unanimously agreed today that Oslo (Norway), Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Beijing (China)* would progress from the Applicant City Phase to the Candidate City Phase in the bid to host the Olympic Winter Games 2022.
The EB based its decision on a technical analysis of the Applicant Cities’ applications submitted earlier this year. The analysis and subsequent report were made by an IOC-appointed working group of Olympic Games experts who assessed each Applicant City’s potential for successfully staging the Olympic Winter Games 2022. The technical assessment was based on a number of criteria, covering a variety of areas such as venues, transport, accommodation and security. Click here for the full report. 
Each city was encouraged to produce a bid best suited to their own unique circumstances, with plans that reflect their own specific vision for how the Games can benefit their cities and regions and ensure positive, sustainable legacies for their populations. Oslo, Almaty and Beijing have done that:
- Oslo is focusing its bid on youth and building on the great legacy of the Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer 1994. It hopes to inspire the population to embrace a healthier and more active lifestyle.
- Almaty’s legacy plans centre on providing the conditions to enable the city to become a sports, tourism and convention hub in Central Asia.
- Beijing is seeking to provide an extended legacy for venues built for the Olympic Games 2008. It wants to create a winter sports centre for China and use the Winter Games to act as a catalyst for the further development of the tourism and winter sports industry.
“The Executive Board was impressed by the legacy plans of each of the three cities, and will continue to support any future candidate or host city in developing them further,” said IOC President Thomas Bach. “This support will be practical, involving the detailed transfer of knowledge as well as financial. In this respect it was good to see that each of the bidding cities understood the difference between the Olympic Games budget and the long-term infrastructure and investment budget, which will benefit their communities for decades to come,” he added.
“The Executive Board is confident that the future hosts of the Olympic Winter Games can break even with the Olympic Games budget – as Vancouver has just announced for the Olympic Winter Games 2010. Or, as in the case of Sochi, make a considerable profit, which they project to be in the range of 200 million dollars,” said President Bach. “This is possible not least because of the extensive financial assistance given by the IOC. In the case of Sochi, this amounted to USD 750 million and it is likely that figure will be even higher for the host of the Olympic Winter Games 2022,” he added.
The Candidate Cities have until January 2015 to submit their Candidature Files – in-depth blueprints of the cities’ Olympic projects. The IOC President will then appoint an Evaluation Commission made up of IOC members (who are volunteers) and experts to visit each Candidate City and prepare a technical risk assessment to assist IOC members in electing the host city. This report will be made available to all IOC members ahead of a two-day briefing that provides the members with the opportunity to question the cities directly about their Olympic projects.
In line with the IOC’s commitment to transparency, the documents pertaining to the 2022 bid process are available to the public on www.olympic.org.
As the Olympic Games are a unique project, whose size, scope and complexity mean that they are typically the biggest event that cities looking to host the Games will ever undertake, the IOC assists them in a number of ways, including financially and through an extensive transfer of knowledge programme.
The IOC puts at the disposal of the bid cities a significant amount of information and expertise through its Olympic Games Knowledge Management (OGKM) platform, which takes the form of documentation, experts, workshops and personal observation of previous Games. All Applicant Cities for the Olympic Winter Games 2022 participated in the Sochi 2014 observer programme and the IOC Debriefing of the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014, which allowed the cities to learn the best practices of previous hosts and to adapt those lessons to their own unique context. 
Once elected, the IOC continues to support the local organising committees through OGKM, as well as with the regular visits of its Coordination Commissions and experts, who help to guide the organisers, as they develop their Games project. All IOC-related costs (for accommodation, transport, etc.) are covered entirely by the IOC, as is the case during the Games themselves.
The IOC makes a significant financial contribution to the organisation of each edition of the Games, where the budgets of Organising Committees for the Olympic Games are generally privately financed. For example, the IOC and its Worldwide Olympic Partners are expected to contribute around USD 590 million in total to the budget for the organisation of the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014. To reduce the financial burden on the local organisers further, the IOC also assumes the responsibility and cost of the principal Olympic broadcast signal through its fully owned subsidiary Olympic Broadcasting Services SA (OBS). In Sochi this is expected to exceed USD 150 million – making a total IOC financial contribution to the Games of about USD 750 million.

Key Dates:
Phase 2:
  • Submission of the Candidature File and Guarantees – 7 January 2015
  • IOC Evaluation Commission visits – February to March 2015
  • Evaluation Commission report / Candidate City Briefing for IOC Members – May to June 2015 (TBC)
  • Election of the 2022 host city by the IOC Session – Kuala Lumpur – 31 July 2015
* The cities are listed according to a drawing of lots carried out by the IOC EB in December 2013.
Note to editors:
The two bid phases (Applicant and Candidate) were introduced by the IOC in 2000 to ensure that cities insufficiently prepared or considered not to have the potential to successfully organise the Olympic Games in the year in question, did not proceed to the second phase of bidding, thus ensuring significant cost savings to both the bid cities and the IOC.
As part of its mission to continually monitor and improve the bid process, and following recommendations arising out of debrief meetings with previous bid cities, the IOC recently brought forward some technical matters and questions regarding existing conditions that would not change between the two phases from the Candidate City questionnaire to the Applicant City questionnaire. Phase 2 has thus become a logical continuation of Phase 1, rather than a new start.

IOC Debriefing sees NOCs transfer knowledge on athlete experience
02/07/2014
Responsible for ensuring a seamless athlete experience for their delegations at the Games, National Olympic Committees (NOCs) work in close cooperation with the Organising Committees. Their contribution during the IOC Debriefing of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games is then key emphasises IOC Executive Board member and Secretary General of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC), Gunilla Lindberg.
Overseeing all the logistics related to the athletes from uniforms, equipment, transport to accommodation at the Olympic Games is no mean feat. “It’s a really challenging job,” states Gunilla Lindberg, who has also served as Secretary General of the Swedish NOC since 1989. “The role of the NOCs is to work on preparations for the athlete experience for many years prior to the Olympic Games to ensure that when the athletes arrive, they have the optimum conditions.”
For the ANOC Secretary General, the debriefing is not about finding negative points, but more an occasion to learn “for the future, to improve preparations”. “We have some proposals for the future, which also include the IOC and the International Sports Federations, on various topics such as qualification systems and accreditation.”
Lindberg underlines, however, that the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games “worked very well”, and following the positive feedback from the Olympians this winter and their great sporting achievements, they have been described by IOC President Thomas Bach as “the athletes’ Games.”
“I think each host country should deliver Games according to their culture, and you should never copy,” concludes Lindberg who, as Chair of the PyeongChang 2018 Coordination Commission, is in a prime position to value the NOCs’ contributions to the next Olympic Winter Games. “You should take the experiences and the good advice, but you should also make the Games your own.”
Under the key messages of inspire, manage, engage, empower and deliver, the IOC Debriefing of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games successfully concluded this week in PyeongChang, Republic of Korea.
In total, over 360 representatives of future host cities heard invaluable advice about Games management best practices, as well as the real-life Sochi experiences of 65 top leaders of February’s highly successful edition of the Olympic Winter Games.

IOC statement on 2022 Bidding Process
30/06/2014
Following positive discussions between the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, the Ukrainian Prime Minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and the President of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ukraine, Sergey Bubka, all parties have agreed that Lviv will turn its attention to an Olympic bid for 2026, and not continue with its
application
for 2022.
The decision comes as a result of the present political and economic circumstances in Ukraine, which were discussed between the three parties.
“The preliminary evaluation by the IOC’s working group found that the Lviv bid offered huge potential for future development,” said IOC President Thomas Bach. “In my discussions with the Ukrainian Prime Minster and NOC President, we concluded that it would be extremely difficult to pursue the 2022 bid under the current circumstances, but that a future bid would make sense for Ukraine and Ukrainian sport.”
The Ukrainian Prime Minister agreed that “a bid for 2026 would have excellent potential for the economic recovery of the country, and could have huge benefits for Ukrainian society”.
For the NOC, President Sergey Bubka added:  “We would like to thank the IOC very much for its help and understanding, as well as the great assistance that it has given to Ukrainian athletes from all parts of the country, both morally and financially.”

IOC President joins thousands worldwide in Olympic Day celebrations

23/06/2014
International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach got very much into the spirit of Olympic Day today, addressing over 1,000 runners in a 5.2 km run before hosting Olympic Day celebrations at the IOC headquarters, where he called on people around the world to get physically active and enjoy the benefits of leading healthy lifestyles.
Joining President Bach for the kick-off of the 2nd edition of the Olympic Capital Run were fellow Olympians and current International Academy of Sports Science and Technology (AISTS)
students
Udo-Obong Enee (Nigeria, athletics), Hisham Shehab (Bahrain, aquatics), Slaven Dizdarevic (Slovakia, decathlon) and Maria Ntanou (Greece, cross-country skiing). Athens 2004 mascots Athena and Phevos and London 2012 mascot Wenlock were also on hand to help spread the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect. “We need to continue to spread the popularity of sport and particularly the Olympic Games, but simply consuming sport is not enough – we need people and particularly young people to get active.  We need to get the ‘couch potatoes off the couch’ – and Olympic Day and particularly Olympic Day runs are one way we can do that,” said President Bach
Around the world National Olympic Committees held events and Olympic Day runs to mark the day. The IOC also used its huge social network following to encourage people to ‘get off the couch’.  Thousands of people took part and posted pictures of themselves taking part in sport.

After the run in Lausanne, the IOC President opened the traditional Olympic Day celebrations at the IOC headquarters. Together with Sochi 2014 half-pipe champion Iouri Podladtchikov, he unveiled a new statue of the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Pierre de Coubertin. The statue, which depicts Coubertin sitting on a stool in contemplation, has been placed under a tree – a nod to Coubertin’s well-known way of working. The bronze statue, sculpted by Chinese artist Xikun Yuan, was a gift to The Olympic Museum from the Chinese Olympic Committee on the occasion of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

“Part of Coubertin’s genius was adapting the values of Olympism  to the modern world – but he didn’t just hand us these ideas written in stone – part of his genius was to understand that we must constantly renew ourselves and update the Olympic vision,” said President Bach. “Olympic Day is one of those occasions to show how we can remain relevant. We need to continue to promote sport. We need people and particularly young people to get active. We need to get the couch potatoes off the couch – and Olympic Day and particularly Olympic Day Runs are one way we can do that.  We have a number of Olympic Day Runs taking place today around the world organised by our National Olympic Committees. We had one here in Lausanne with hundreds of brave souls participating.”

Olympic Day was introduced in 1948 to commemorate the birth of the modern Olympic Games on 23 June 1894 at the Sorbonne in Paris. The goal was to promote participation in sport across the globe regardless of age, gender or athletic ability.

Over the last 20 years, Olympic Day has been associated with Olympic Day Runs all over the world. From 45 participating National Olympic Committees (NOCs) in the first edition in 1987, the numbers have grown to over 150 participating NOCs.

Last year the IOC’s cross-platform Olympic Day campaign touched some 400 million people in one way or another. This year, the IOC hopes to surpass this number with the help of top athletes, including 18-time gold medallist Michael Phelps, Olympic champion Usain Bolt and gold medallist hammer thrower Koji Murofushi, calling on everybody to get moving and try out new sports.

So how are you getting active this Olympic Day?

So how are you getting active this Olympic Day?

23/06/2014
On this date back in 1894, the modern Olympic Games were born. To celebrate the occasion, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) encourages everyone, everywhere, on or around 23 June – Olympic Day – to get active.
So without further ado, drop and give us 10!
There, that wasn’t so difficult, was it?
With those 10 push-ups, you have just joined millions of others around the world in taking part in some sort of physical activity this Olympic Day, including Olympic champions Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt and Lindsey Vonn.
As part of the IOC’s Get Active! Campaign, Phelps, Bolt, Vonn and a slew of other Olympians have joined us in our efforts to entice people off the sofa and on to the field of play. And this Olympic Day, we’ve been asking people to try something – anything – new. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
Swimmer Phelps took the plunge - into the pool as usual, but unusually decided to swim backwards. Runner Bolt played cricket. Skier Vonn took to the tennis court. Sochi 2014 half-pipe champ Iouri Podladtchikov hopped on his skateboard, and gold medallist hammer thrower Koji Murofushi took a few swings with his golf club. You can see them in all their glory here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h33epKwqMhc.
So what are you going to do next? Let us know by posting photos of yourselves in action using the hashtag #olympicday.
Last year, our cross-platform campaign touched some 400 million people in one way or another. With your help we hope to surpass that number this year. To see how others are getting active this Olympic Day, check out our world map at www.olympic.org/olympicday, and follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
Inspired? Good! Now stop reading and get active!
