Joint Communique from the International Olympic Committee and the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee

15/08/2014

Our thoughts are firstly with those who have been touched by the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa and the suffering of those affected and their families.

With regard to ensuring the safety of all those participating in the Youth Olympic Games and the people of the city of Nanjing we have been working closely with the Chinese health authorities and under the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO).  We have been reassured by the health authorities that there have been no suspected cases and that the risk of infection is extremely unlikely.

Together we have developed a policy which balances the health needs of all, with respect for the rights of the young athletes from the region:

• The organizing committee has made it clear that all delegations are welcome to the Games and each country is free to take their own decision on attendance.
  
• Those from the region will be subject to regular temperature and physical assessment throughout the period.
  
• Based on health authority guidelines it has been decided that athletes from affected areas will not compete in combat sports. (2 athletes)
  
• Additionally, based on the inability to completely exclude the risk of potential infection it was also decided that no athletes from the region would compete in the pool.(1 athlete)
  
• In accordance with WHO guidelines the Chinese authorities are fully prepared should any outbreak occur.  

We regret that due to this issue some young athletes may have suffered twice, both from the anguish caused by the outbreak in their home countries and by not being able to compete in the Youth Olympic Games.

The IOC and Organizing Committee will therefore offer to each of the National Olympic Committees affected, if they wish, that their national flag will be brought into the stadium at the opening ceremony and will be hoisted at the venues.

The athletes who have not been able to participate will also receive in the near future an invitation from the IOC and the organizing committee to come to Nanjing to take part in a sporting competition and to experience the welcoming atmosphere and spirit of the city and Jiangsu province.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is pleased that Yang-ho Cho has been formally elected as the President of the PyeongChang 2018 Organising Committee (POCOG). We also welcome his plans to dedicate himself to the success of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. President Cho has a long-standing relationship with the Olympic Movement, and his experience of leading the PyeongChang 2018 Bid Committee will allow him to quickly get started in his new role.

The IOC is looking forward to working again with President Cho, with the first face-to-face meeting already scheduled to take place during the upcoming Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games. President Cho and a POCOG delegation are expected to meet with IOC President Thomas Bach, IOC Coordination Commission Chair Gunilla Lindberg, and the IOC’s Olympic Games Deputy Executive Director Christophe Dubi during the course of the 13-day event.

IOC President Thomas Bach commented: “The election of Yang-ho Cho as President of the PyeongChang 2018 Organising Committee underlines the importance that the Republic of Korea and the Korean sports movement places upon the success of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. We are pleased that President Cho has been elected so quickly and that he will dedicate himself to this important national project. I welcome him back to the PyeongChang team. I am sure that he will deliver great Olympic Winter Games for the athletes in 2018.”

IOC Coordination Commission Chair Gunilla Lindberg said: “I am pleased to welcome Yang-ho Cho as President of the PyeongChang 2018 Organising Committee. We already have a very good relationship from President Cho’s work with the PyeongChang 2018 Bid Committee. I look forward to reinforcing our already strong links over the coming three-and-a-half years, as we work to deliver great Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang in 2018.”

London 2012 legacy continues to be felt across the UK

25/07/2014

Almost two years to the day from the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games (27 July 2012), a new report from the British Government shows that the Olympic Games continue to provide significant legacies for the city of London – and Britain as a whole. 

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach commented, “Ensuring a positive legacy from the Olympic Games for a host city and country is very important for the IOC. This is why I am delighted to see that our British partners have succeeded in maximising the legacy of London 2012 across a number of different areas.”  
He continued, “As an Olympian, I saw that London 2012 was a Games built around the athletes. As IOC President, I see that London and Britain have also understood that the Games can be a catalyst for positive long-term economic, social and sustainable legacies. These figures confirm that the Olympic Games can provide tangible benefits for a lot more than just 16 days of competition.” 
The report on the successful legacies from London 2012 reveals that the British economy has seen a trade and industry boost in excess of £14 billion (USD 23.8 billion) following the Games – beating the four-year target of £11 billion (USD 18.7 billion) in half the time – with British businesses securing contract wins, additional sales and new foreign investment in the two years since the Games were held. 
British Prime Minister David Cameron said, “Part of our long-term economic plan is about promoting every part of our country to the world and Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games will give us another fantastic platform to do this. It follows on from London 2012, which was not just an amazing sporting event, but also a great opportunity to secure a lasting economic and sporting legacy for the whole UK.” 
The report also highlighted many other Olympic legacies, including an increase in international visitors to Britain since the Games (up 6 per cent to 33 million in 2013) and the transformation of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. 
More than one million people have visited Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park since it reopened to the public, while 2,800 homes have been created after the Athletes’ Village was converted into residential housing. 
According to the report, more Britons are also playing sport than ever before, with 15.6 million people aged 16 and over taking part in sport at least once a week – 1.7 million more than in 2005 when London won the bid to host the Games. 
London 2012 also created a strong volunteering legacy, with the ‘Join In’ initiative supporting 10,000 local events across the country in summer 2013, further demonstrating how hosting major sports events can bring about benefits to society. 
Former London 2012 Chairman Sebastian Coe was impressed by the report’s findings. 
“This report shows just how much is happening across the country to keep the spirit of London 2012 alive two years on from the Games,” he said. “The country has taken the inspirational performances of our athletes and the uplifting public spirit seen during those few weeks in 2012, and built on it, whether through community projects, volunteering, and new sporting facilities, or through new ways of working together and improved trade relationships.  
“This report celebrates some of those achievements, but there are many more examples happening all across the country. I look forward to the next 12 months of this legacy journey.” 
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, added: “By common consent, London wowed the world when it staged the 2012 Olympic Games. Two years on from that golden summer we are accelerating the transformation of Stratford and beyond.  
“Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is now reopened and ambitious plans are in place to develop a constellation of educational, artistic, technology and cultural institutions on the site to strengthen our lead as a global force in these sectors and deliver tens of thousands of jobs. This is a living legacy that is reaping economic and social dividends not just here in London but across the UK.”

Olympic Summit gives full support to Olympic Agenda 2020

©IOC/Arnaud Meylan

19/07/2014

Leading representatives of the Olympic Movement met in Lausanne today, with the Olympic Agenda 2020 process central to their discussions.

Sports leaders heard updates on the proposals that have so far been generated on Olympic Agenda 2020, the strategic roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement, which is scheduled for further consideration and final approval at the Extraordinary IOC Session in December.
The Olympic Summit was convened by International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach at the IOC headquarters in Lausanne.  It forms part of the on-going dialogue and consultation on the main topics of interest and concern to the Olympic Movement. It brings together the IOC Vice-Presidents and Presidents of the major stakeholders of the Olympic Movement. *(See list of attendees at the end of this press release.)
The Summit welcomed the inclusive and transparent process that has also received contributions from civil society and the general public and enhanced good governance at the IOC. Under the direction of the IOC, Olympic Agenda 2020 has addressed three major themes:  sustainability, credibility and youth. The Summit fully supported the direction of the reforms. Detailed discussions have taken place on a range of key issues including cost management of the Games, protecting the clean athletes, good governance and youth strategy. Click here for the 14 sub-themes.
In particular the Summit supported:
- A new strategy for the bidding procedure. This includes giving more flexibility to bid cities, with emphasis on the sustainability of the Olympic Games. Candidate Cities should focus on what legacies the Olympic Games can bring to the area and its citizens from the very beginning of the bid procedure, and in particular how the Games fit best into the social, environmental and long-term development plan of a host region. The need for Olympic Movement stakeholders to remain flexible and open to reasonable adaptation to this concept was also agreed.
- Changes to the procedure for the composition of the Olympic programme. The goal is to present proposals for a more flexible approach by adopting an event-based rather than a sport-based approach to the composition of the programme, while retaining the limit on the number of athletes participating.
- The establishment of an Olympic TV channel. Participants supported an Olympic TV channel, recognising the potential to greatly increase the presence of sports and the promotion of the Olympic values year round and worldwide. The IOC will contact all the relevant stakeholders in the coming months to further develop the concept. 
Further consultations on Olympic Agenda 2020 are scheduled for September, when today’s contributions, along with the discussions of the Working Groups in June, will be presented to the IOC commissions. The refined proposals will then be discussed again at an Executive Board (EB) meeting in October, before being presented for discussion by the entire IOC membership and final approval at the Extraordinary IOC Session in Monaco, on 8 and 9 December 2014. 
The Olympic Summit participants acknowledged the benefits for the entire Olympic Movement from the growing collaboration enjoyed at the highest level between the IOC and the United Nations following the signing of a historic memorandum of understanding between the two organisations earlier this year.
The participants were looking with confidence in the future of the Olympic Movement with regard to long-term financial stability following a number of agreements finalised this year:  The recently signed broadcast and TOP sponsor agreements not only guarantee the long-term financial stability of the IOC and the Olympic Movement but also exhibit the trust that corporations have in the IOC. Earlier this year, the IOC completed a long-term deal until 2032 with US broadcaster NBC Universal and another with the Japanese consortium for the Japan broadcasting rights, in addition to signing Bridgestone as a new TOP partner and extending the TOP partnership with Panasonic.
Updates were also given on the subjects addressed at the previous Olympic Summits, and progress reports on three key issues were provided. These included the fight against doping; the sports calendar; autonomy and good governance; and the fight against match-fixing and related corruption.
1) Protecting the clean athletesA report was given on the additional fund of USD 20 million set aside by the IOC in the fight to protect clean athletes, which is to be shared equally between the fight against doping and combating match-fixing and related corruption. 
The President of ASOIF presented the latest developments in the Olympic Movement’s efforts in the fight against match-fixing. These include closer cooperation with governments and betting operators to better coordinate efforts in the field of education, monitoring and the harmonisation of legislation.
The IOC has introduced the IBIS monitoring system and put it at the service of the stakeholders of the Olympic Movement. An update was also given on cooperation with Interpol, including the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two organisations.
The participants heard a report from the WADA President on the current position of WADA on how to ensure the permanent protection of clean athletes in cooperation with all stakeholders of the Olympic Movement. He also reported on WADA’s efforts to convince governments to match the additional IOC fund.
2) The sports calendarThe participants agreed on the creation of a Sports Calendar online database for the coordination of the scheduling of sports competitions at a global level, agreeing to a project to compile a comprehensive universal spring calendar of current events in order to find the best options for planning sports competitions at a global level, in particular when proposals for new events arise. 
3) Autonomy and good governanceThe participants noted with satisfaction the good results already achieved by the Working Group on Good Governance established at the last summit meeting, and encouraged the IOC to continue its good work. 
A proposal was also discussed to implement an intelligence system to monitor conflicts, for the benefit of the Olympic Movement.
Finally, the participants agreed on the process of creating ad-hoc taskforces to resolve specific conflicts.

Magic Bus: driving change in India one game at a time

©MagicBus (2)

14/07/2014

Through the use of a mentoring model and sport-based curriculum, non-profit organisation Magic Bus works with thousands of children and volunteer mentors from marginalised communities in India every week to deliver fundamental learnings, and accompany young people living in poverty to help them make the right choices towards a better life.

Learning, Leading, Earning
Founded in 1999 by Englishman and former rugby player Matthew Spacie, and with the help of CEO of the organisation’s Indian branch Patrik Kumar, Magic Bus works in India’s poorest villages and slum settlements. It is committed to teacing life lessons through play to children across 10 states and supporting them in moving them and their families out of poverty. To date, this programme has reached over 250,000 children, resulting in 77 per cent of Magic Bus children attending school more than five days a week. And 9 out of 10 of these are first-generation learners, who are getting into higher education and jobs.

Magic Bus accompanies a child from the age of 7 to 18, and engages with them through the Activity-Based Curriculum (ABC) – a unique model which makes use of games and sports to inspire change. Comprising 40 sessions per year, ABC teaches children about education, gender, health and other key issues affecting them through playing sport, encouraging them to build better physical, social and personal skills as well as breaking gender-related stereotypes. Thanks to the organisation’s efforts, 96 per cent of Magic Bus children now believe that every child, regardless of gender, should have the right to play.
Through a Mentorship programme, local youth volunteers are trained to become Community Youth Leaders, acting as role models and mentors to other children; conducting ABC sessions; and inciting positive change in their health and hygiene habits as well as in their community. Finally, the young people take part in the organisation’s Connect Programme, which, by providing access to training and courses, drives the majority of them to pursue higher education studies or enrol in employability programmes.
After a decade-long journey with Magic Bus, these children emerge as competent and confident young people prepared to move into respectable livelihoods and contribute constructively to a better society.

Life lessons through play
With a week to go to Olympic Day on 23 June, this is a great opportunity to highlight various community-based sport and recreational programmes that encourage citizens, regardless of age, gender or abilities, to get active and embrace the Olympic ideals of excellence, friendship and respect. Magic Bus is a prime example of a Sport for All project using sport as a tool for development to address social issues, raise awareness and inspire behavioural change.
This project will also be featured as a case study in the latest IOC Get Moving! Toolkit – a guide to managing Sport for All programmes to be released in July, which combines practical guidance and inspirational cases aimed at assisting and motivating participants in the development of new programmes.
