2 IOC FINAL REPORT BUILDING A LEGACY THROUGH SPORT Olympism did not reappear within the context of modern civilisation in order to play a local or TEMPORARY role. The mission entrusted to us is universal and timeless. Pierre de Coubertin Founder of the modern Olympic Movement 2

3 IOC FINAL REPORT MESSAGE FROM THE IOC PRESIDENT The success of the International Olympic Committee is not measured solely by what occurs today, but by the lasting legacy we create through sport. All of the IOC s activities from staging the Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games, to bringing sport to impoverished communities are intended to deliver long-term positive benefits. Over the past four years, the IOC and its partners in the Olympic Movement have advanced a positive legacy on multiple fronts, and this final report on the activities of the IOC between 2009 and 20 focuses on this theme. It is structured around our four primary work streams: ensuring the regular celebration of the Games; inspiring and educating youth; promoting sport and Olympic values; and supporting the Olympic Movement. The 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and the 20 Olympic Games in London succeeded in every aspect, with awe-inspiring competition and superb organisation that set new standards for legacy planning and sustainability. The enthusiasm and excitement in the host countries were shared with huge global audiences. Some Olympic venues in Vancouver have already been transformed for community use, and residents will benefit from new transportation links and other infrastructure improvements for years to come. In London, the Olympic Park a former industrial wasteland will become a model urban community, with residential housing, businesses, sporting venues and parkland. The first Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Singapore in 2010 and the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck in 20 launched a new Olympic tradition that engages young people through sport, education and cultural programmes. Participants returned to their home communities as enthusiastic ambassadors for Olympic values. In 2009, an Olympic Congress was convened in Copenhagen to take the pulse of the Olympic Movement and chart its future. Delegates from every aspect of the Movement National Olympic Committees, International Federations, coaches, athletes and others produced a blueprint for the future with 66 recommendations that have won wide acceptance among Olympic organisations. The IOC s continued commitment to placing sport as a tool for peace, international development and collaboration was recognised by the United Nations (UN) in 2009 when the IOC was granted UN Observer status. The designation allows the IOC to promote sport at a higher level by taking the floor at the UN General Assembly and participating in consultation meetings. Often working with UN partners, the IOC is engaged in projects related to humanitarian assistance, peace-building, education, gender equality, the environment and the fight against HIV/AIDS, hence contributing to the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals. Although it is far too early to declare victory in the quest for gender equality in sport, the London Games reached significant milestones on the road to achieving that goal. For the first time, women competed in every sport on the Olympic Programme and represented more than 44 per cent of the competitors. Every National Olympic Committee has now sent women to the Games. We can also report that the Olympic Movement s financial foundation is stronger than ever, even after the worst global recession in more than 60 years. More than 90 per cent of the revenue that the IOC generated was passed to International Federations, National Olympic Committees and Organising Committees of the Olympic Games. 3

4 IOC FINAL REPORT The last four years also saw groundbreaking developments in the IOC s use of information technology to promote Olympic values more effectively to more people, in more ways. The many changes include a redesigned website, a new digital archive of material dating back to the 96 Games and global engagement on social media. The release of this report comes 150 years after the birth of Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Movement. Although he could not have foreseen many of the changes that have occurred, I have no doubt that he would be pleased to know that the International Olympic Committee continues to build a legacy for future generations. None of this progress would have been possible without the support and assistance of my fellow IOC members. Their guidance has been invaluable, not just in the most recent quadrennium, but over the past years. I am also indebted to the National Olympic Committees, International Federations, Olympic Games Organising Committees, athletes, our Worldwide TOP Partners and Broadcast Partners and the hard-working IOC staff for their commitment to our great cause. Jacques Rogge 4

5 IOC FINAL REPORT CELEBRATING THE GAMES The Olympic Games are more than just a sporting event. They are a global stage for the world s best athletes to bring Olympic values to life. The 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London were filled with inspirational athletic achievements. To be truly successful however, the Games must do more than deliver stunning and inspiring competition. The Vancouver and London Games succeeded on multiple fronts and raised the bar for future Games by: Providing a lasting and positive legacy for the host city and for sport Promoting the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect to the widest possible audience Advancing the goals of non-discrimination and sustainability 5

7 IOC FINAL REPORT CELEBRATING THE GAMES: UNPARALLELED ATHLETICISM In Vancouver, following an Opening Ceremony dedicated to Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died tragically during training the same day, the world s athletes confirmed that continuing with the celebrations was the best way possible to pay tribute to the Georgian athlete. They delivered sporting highlights such as the stunning performance by the Republic of Korea s figure skater Yuna Kim, Canada s thrilling overtime victory in the ice hockey final, US snowboarder Shaun White s dominating run in the half-pipe, German alpine skier Maria Höfl-Riesch s two gold medals, the impressive double gold and silver medal wins by Norway s Emil Hegle Svendsen in biathlon competition, and skiing triumphs by Switzerland s Didier Defago and USA s Lindsey Vonn. In London, Great Britain s Nicola Adams won the first ever women s boxing gold medal, US swimmer Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian of all time after earning his 22nd medal, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt made history by retaining his title in both the 100m and 200m events and British sailor Ben Ainslie won his fourth gold and became the most successful sailor in Olympic history. Kenya s David Rudisha broke the world record en route to a gold medal in the 800m event, British athlete Jessica Ennis thrilled a global audience with her win in the heptathlon, China s Ye Shiwen won swimming gold and shattered the world record in the 0m individual medley, and Russia s Aliya Mustafina won four medals in gymnastics. VANCOUVER 2010 IN NUMBERS 2,566 athletes, including more than per cent women 82 National Olympic Committees (NOCs), including six for the first time 26 NOCs had medal winners LONDON 20 IN NUMBERS 10,568 athletes, including more than 44 per cent women 204 NOCs 85 NOCs had medal winners, including seven for the first time 7

8 IOC FINAL REPORT CELEBRATING THE GAMES: BUILDING A LEGACY Through early legacy planning, the Vancouver and London Organising Committees achieved unparalleled successes in community development and sustainability. The organisers demonstrated a clear understanding of each host city s needs and made choices that not only ensured a spectacular celebration in the near-term, but will also serve the community for the long-term. Future organising committees are factoring lessons learned from Vancouver and London into their planning, and have benefited from the IOC s knowledgetransfer programmes. The Vancouver Organising Committee stressed inclusiveness in its Games preparations by establishing partnerships with indigenous and social and economically disadvantaged groups, providing them with economic, social and cultural opportunities. As official Games partners, Vancouver s Four Host First Nations were involved in decision-making processes and provided with an international platform for showcasing their traditions, raising awareness of Canada s cultural diversity. The London Games transformed a former industrial wasteland into the Olympic Park, a task that required excavating more than 2.3 million cubic metres of contaminated soil. The Vancouver and London Games also left sport legacies at both the elite and grassroots levels. The curling venue at the Vancouver Games is now a heavily used community centre that includes a hockey arena, a gymnasium, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The Richmond Olympic Oval, used for the speed skating events in Vancouver, is now a multisports community centre for athletes of all abilities featuring facilities for a wide range of sports including badminton, basketball, indoor rowing, golf, wheelchair basketball as well as a climbing wall and fitness classes. It has received over 2.5 million visits since it opened to the public. In London, where many of the venues were built with recycled industrial materials, the Aquatics Centre, the VeloPark and the Copper Box arena are all being converted for community use. The sports venues will anchor a model urban community that will include residential, retail and commercial structures, as well as schools and parkland. The IOC s Role in Legacy Planning The success of the two most recent Olympic Games reflects the efforts of the IOC and the Olympic Movement to prioritise legacy planning from the start of the bidding process. This foresight has strengthened the legacy of recent Games, particularly in the area of sustainability. In 2011, the IOC hosted the first Bidding for the Games conference to help potential bid cities understand the process and benefits of bidding for the Olympic Games or Youth Olympic Games. The conference explained how insights gained during the self-evaluation process deliver benefits even if a bid is not ultimately successful. Lessons learned from planning in Vancouver and London have been shared through the IOC s Observer Programme an integral component of the Olympic Games Knowledge Management Programme. Representatives from Sochi 2014, Rio 2016, PyeongChang 20, and the three 2020 candidate cities, participated in the Observer Programme in London, visiting competition venues and non-competition sites, and sharing information in roundtable discussions. They also participated in the IOC s thorough post-games debriefing covering all aspects of the lessons learned in London. 8

9 IOC FINAL REPORT CELEBRATING THE GAMES: SHARING THE MAGIC The Olympic Games are one of the few truly global events that give people from widely different backgrounds a chance to meet in solidarity. The Games personify the values of excellence, friendship and respect. Sharing the excitement and inspiration of the Games is one of the most effective ways to promote Olympic values to a worldwide audience. Over the past four years, the IOC has significantly expanded the reach of the Games through new broadcast partnerships and the use of new media platforms. The unprecedented growth of broadcast coverage of the Games, combined with the growth of digital coverage, provided global audiences with around-the-clock opportunities to see their favourite athletes in action. Beginning with Vancouver, Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) took over the role of host broadcaster, producing more consistent quality coverage, more efficiently. The Vancouver Games saw the launch of the Olympic News Channel, providing 24/7 news coverage and athlete interviews during Games-time. In London, the channel provided interviews with nine out of 10 medal winners, giving some countries access to footage of national heroes that they could not otherwise have obtained. The past four years also brought a dramatic increase in digital coverage, ushering in a new era of engagement, particularly among younger audiences. During the London Games, coverage on mobile and other digital platforms increased exponentially, almost matching television coverage. London was also the first time that the IOC live-streamed an Olympic Games via its YouTube channel in 64 territories in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa where digital broadcast rights had not been assigned to a broadcast partner, giving viewers access to live coverage and the Olympic News Channel feed free of charge. The IOC leveraged its social networks to share the Olympic experience with fans of all ages. Through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Sina Weibo, the IOC engaged with fans and followers in five languages English, French, Russian, Portuguese and Mandarin. Plans to expand the conversation to Spanish, Arabic and Korean are underway. The introduction of the Olympic Athletes Hub at the London Games allowed more than 3,000 athletes and nearly 0,000 Olympic fans to connect through social media. Olympians participated in online chats and provided an inside view of life in the Olympic Village. By establishing a community across multiple online channels that reached more than 21 million Olympic followers at the end of 20, the IOC is now able to maintain interest in the Games all year round. 9

10 IOC FINAL REPORT VANCOUVER COVERAGE IN NUMBERS Broadcast audience of 1.6 billion viewers Over 31,900 hours of television coverage 235 broadcasters and television stations showed coverage of the Games around the world LONDON COVERAGE IN NUMBERS Broadcast audience of 3.7 billion viewers, the highest viewership in Games history Over 100,000 hours of television coverage Digital broadcast partners delivered over 1.9 billion video streams globally on more than 170 platforms 10

11 IOC FINAL REPORT CELEBRATING THE GAMES: EMPOWERING WOMEN Although much work still needs to be done, the last four years have seen significant progress toward the goal of gender equality on the field of play. The Vancouver and London Games set new records for women s participation, with women comprising more than per cent of the athletes in Vancouver, and more than 44 per cent in London. Women competitors in London outnumbered men on 35 NOC delegations, from some of the smallest to some of the largest. For the first time, women competed in all sports on the Olympic Programme the result of a 2009 vote by the IOC Executive Board to add women s boxing. And the participation of women athletes from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei Darussalam means that all NOCs have now sent women to the Games. 11

12 IOC FINAL REPORT INSPIRING AND EDUCATING YOUTH From its inception, the Olympic Movement has focused on building a legacy by and through youth. Over the past quadrennium, the IOC significantly advanced that goal with the successful launch of the Youth Olympic Games and new initiatives to use sport as a tool for education.

13 IOC FINAL REPORT THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT FOCUSES ON BUILDING A LEGACY BY AND THROUGH YOUTH. 13

14 IOC FINAL REPORT INSPIRING AND EDUCATING: THE YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES The first Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Singapore in 2010 and the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck in 20 exceeded expectations and demonstrated the relevance of an event that combines high-level sporting competition with an exciting Culture and Education Progamme (CEP). The inaugural YOG in Singapore saw nearly 3,600 athletes, aged 15 to, from all 204 NOCs participate in the -day competition that featured 26 sports. Almost half of the participating NOCs medaled, including a first Olympic gold medal for Vietnam and a first Olympic medal for Jordan. More than 2,000 tickets were sold and global television coverage reached 160 territories, with an estimated audience of 247 million. The first Winter Youth Olympic Games featured more than 1,000 athletes from 70 NOCs. The Games brought more than 110,000 spectators to Innsbruck host of the 1964 and 1976 Olympic Winter Games after an -day Youth Olympic Torch Relay by 2,0 torchbearers. Forty-two per cent of participating NOCs won medals, and Sara Takanashi of Japan became the first female ski jumper to win gold at an Olympic event. Both the summer and winter editions featured innovative new formats and disciplines. The introduction of events for teams with members of both genders and from different NOCs helped break down social, cultural and language barriers. Exciting new formats like 3-on-3 basketball and head-to-head canoe and kayak sprinting were enormously popular in Singapore. In Innsbruck several new events were created for the Games, such as the ice hockey skills challenge, while other events including ski halfpipe, snowboard slopestyle, and women s ski jumping made their first appearance at an Olympic event after being added to the sports programme for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. YOG participants were inspired by YOG Ambassadors, including pole-vaulter Yelena Isinbaeva, skier Lindsey Vonn, figure skater Yuna Kim, skier Benjamin Raich, ice hockey player Sidney Crosby, freestyle skier Kevin Rolland, sprinter Usain Bolt and swimmer Michael Phelps. The role of a YOG Ambassador is to inspire and mentor the athletes competing at the Games while encouraging young people from all over the world to become more active in sport. 14

15 IOC FINAL REPORT One measure of the YOG s success was its digital media impact. At one point, the IOC s Singapore 2010 YOG channel on YouTube was the third most watched YouTube channel worldwide. The summer YOG generated a total of 10.7 million views from the YOG website and YouTube channel, and one million impressions across Facebook and Twitter. The Youth Olympic Games Legacy The legacy of the YOG is carried forward by past participants, who serve as ambassadors for sport and Olympic values in their home communities. Some have offered their perspectives at IOC conferences. The YOG are also a proving ground for aspiring Olympians, and many have gone on to compete in the Olympic Games. More than 190 athletes who competed in the inaugural YOG made the step up to the Olympic stage in London in 20, winning 25 medals between them. 15

16 IOC FINAL REPORT INSPIRING AND EDUCATING: SPORT AS A TOOL FOR EDUCATION One of the unique aspects of the YOG that set it apart from any other sporting event was the innovative Culture and Education Programme (CEP). The CEP brought Olympic values to life by giving YOG participants a chance to learn from each other and from adult mentors. The CEP featured interactive booths, exhibitions and activities on Olympism, social responsibility, fair play, skills development, healthy lifestyles, and expression and well-being. Programmes ranged from panel discussions on how to create a balanced diet to projects that allowed YOG participants to share experiences through dance, music and the arts. Through the CEP, YOG participants learned about global topics, the importance of contributing to the environment and society, and celebrating the Olympic Movement. The interactive format gave young athletes the opportunity to build friendships with fellow athletes from around the world and develop a better understanding of their diverse cultures. YOG athletes also participated in community and sustainability projects that highlighted the importance of giving back to their home communities. International organisations played a key role in implementing CEP activities by supporting a broad range of educational programmes. YOG partners included UN agencies; the World Anti-Doping Agency; the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies; the International Fairplay Committee and other non-governmental organisations. CEP materials, such as a YOG Education Pack, were widely shared outside the events in Singapore and Innsbruck. Additionally, the YOG featured Athlete Role Models (ARMs) nominated by the International Federations and members of the IOC Athletes Commission, who were present at the Games to mentor young athletes and help them understand how to live by the Olympic values. The ARMs participated in the CEP alongside YOG athletes and took part in Meet the Role Models forums to share personal accounts of their experiences and the challenges they overcame. 16

17 IOC FINAL REPORT The IOC is using sport as a tool for education in many other ways. The Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP) equips thousands of teachers around the globe to teach Olympic values to young people between the ages of eight and. The OVEP teaching manual provides easy-to-implement lesson plans that can be adapted to different age groups. Today, more than 110 countries have been involved in the programme, including Zambia, where OVEP has been implemented to educate over 10,000 boys and girls since the 2010 opening of the Olympic Youth Development Centre, and has trained over 600 OVEP Young Leaders to date. A partnership with UNESCO encourages more collaboration between sport organisations and educators throughout the world. The 7th IOC World Conference on Sport, Education and Culture in Durban in 2010 and the 8th IOC World Conference in Amsterdam in 20 both co-hosted by the IOC and UNESCO brought together experts in both fields as well as youth representatives, including participants from the YOG, and stressed the need for values-based physical education in school curricula. 17

18 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IN ACTION The Olympic Charter defines Olympism as a philosophy of life that blends sport with culture and education, and calls on the IOC to cooperate with public and private organisations to place sport at the service of humanity. The IOC puts Olympism into action in several ways: Sport for All Development through sport Peace through sport Women and Sport Education through sport Sport and environment Culture and sport

19 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IS A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE THAT BLENDS SPORT WITH CULTURE AND EDUCATION. 19

20 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IN ACTION: SPORT FOR ALL The IOC is a leading advocate for using sport and physical activity to promote health, fi tness, and physical and mental well-being. Over the last four years, the IOC has joined forces with international organisations to bring physical activity to schools and youth communities in developing countries and to provide equal access to sport and the values it fosters. It has also encouraged governments and educational institutions to make sport more widely available. In 2010, the IOC and the World Health Organisation agreed to work together globally to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases that rank among the top risk factors for mortality. The IOC also participated in a special UN General Assembly meeting on the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases in The IOC s Sport for All Commission takes a leading role in encouraging people of all ages and abilities to participate in sports activities through Olympic Day celebrations and similar events. To share best practices and encourage more progress, the commission hosts the World Conference on Sport for All. In response to a recommendation from the 13th IOC World Conference on Sport for All in Jyväskylä, Finland in 2010, the commission developed Get Moving, a guide for managing Sport for All programmes that was set for release in The commission also provides fi nancial help and other assistance to support sporting events on all fi ve continents every year. In 2011, the commission launched a new grants programme at the 14th World Conference on Sport for All in Beijing. Grants were awarded to a project in Bosnia and Herzegovina that uses scuba diving and other water activities to help rehabilitate mine victims and amputees; a project in Ethiopia that uses sport to help street children reintegrate to school and society; and a project in China that targeted 100 cities and 1,000 villages with participatory demonstrations of qigong, a traditional mind-and-body exercise. 20

21 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPIC DAY The IOC has taken steps over the past four years to share the joy of sport and promote Olympic values with a wider audience at the grassroots level. One of the best examples is Olympic Day, the annual celebration that commemorates the birth of the modern Olympic Games on 23 June, 94. In 2009, the IOC expanded the theme of Olympic Day to encompass educational and cultural elements as well as physical activity. Under the theme, Move, Learn, Discover, NOCs around the world helped spread Olympic Day activities to schools, community centres, and other governmental and non-governmental organisations. In 20, the IOC reached out to its millions of fans on Facebook and followers on Twitter, asking them to participate in Olympic Day to win a chance to go to the London Games. The IOC also featured tweets about the celebration on a world map. Olympic Day activities vary widely and have included fun runs, community walks, balance beam contests, tricycle races, wheelchair basketball, relay races, swimming races, inspirational talks by Olympic athletes, exhibitions on health and fitness, and sports-related arts and crafts for young children. 21

22 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IN ACTION: DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SPORT IOC initiatives are bringing sport to impoverished communities, aiming to both increase access to physical activity worldwide and improve social and human well-being at large. In 2010, the IOC inaugurated the first Olympic Youth Development Centre in Zambia, a flagship project of the IOC s Sports for Hope programme. With support from the Zambian government, the National Olympic Committee of Zambia and International Federations (IFs), the centre offers facilities for all levels of athletes in more than a dozen sports, as well as education programmes, health services and activities for the entire community. Work on a second Youth Development Centre in Haiti began in 20. It is scheduled to open in In 2009, the IOC launched the Sports Kits Programme to provide sports and recreational equipment to children and young adults who might otherwise have little access to sport. The kits are tailored to the sports that are most popular in the area and include different balls, sports clothing and chalk to mark out fields of play. The programme has been welcomed by more than 600,000 young people in countries since its inception. A two-year project launched in 20 with UNHCR and TOP Partner Samsung will provide sports kits to an estimated 150,000 displaced young people in Asia, Africa and the Americas. The Giving is Winning campaign, organised around the Olympic Games, provides sportswear and clothing to refugees who have fled war, famine and other natural and man-made catastrophes in Europe, Asia and Africa. Contributions from athletes, IOC, NOCs, IFs, TOP Partners and other Olympic Family members are distributed by UNHCR at refugee camps around the world. The campaign during the 20 Games in London collected 70,000 items that were distributed in seven countries. 22

23 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IN ACTION: PEACE THROUGH SPORT The IOC s efforts in promoting peace draw on the traditions of the ancient Olympic Games, when warring factions declared a truce to let athletes and spectators travel safely to and from the Games. That tradition lives on in the modern Olympic Truce, which also makes an enduring statement about the ability of sport to harmoniously bring together communities in conflict and create opportunities for dialogue, and even reconciliation. At the request of the IOC, the UN General Assembly has approved the Olympic Truce for every edition of the Games since UN member states are encouraged to observe peace during the Games by signing the Truce and are invited to continue to promote peace after the Olympic flame has been extinguished. In advance of the London Games, the Olympic Truce received unanimous support from all 193 UN member states. In 2011, the IOC launched a Youth Sport Centre in Gatumba, Burundi, jointly funded by the IOC, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Office on Sport for Development and Peace, and the government of Burundi. The multi-sport complex is located in the border region with the Democratic Republic of Congo, an area known for tension and violence and lacking in recreational infrastructure. The facility, managed by the Burundi NOC and the local municipality, provides sporting and education activities for more than 10,000 young people. In 2009, the IOC launched a new initiative for peace by hosting the first International Forum on Sport for Peace and Development. The biennial forum aims to assess the successes and challenges of using sport as a tool for human development and promotion of peace. The UN joined the IOC as a forum co-host in In 2010, the IOC convened joint meetings between the Palestinian and Israeli NOCs to address the free movement of Palestinian and Israeli athletes, coaches, officials and sports materials, as well as foreign visiting athletes and delegations. 23

24 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IN ACTION: WOMEN AND SPORT Guided by the Olympic Charter s declaration that sport is a human right, the IOC is a strong advocate for inclusion in sport. Olympic Day and projects supported by the Sport for All Commission are based on the belief that sport should be available to people of all ages and abilities, without discrimination. The IOC s dedication to promoting gender equality extends beyond the field of play (see page 11). The IOC collaborated with Loughborough University in the UK on a 2010 report on Gender Equality and Leadership in Olympic Bodies, which highlighted the need to improve the recruitment and development of women in leadership positions. The IOC is working to ensure that women are prepared and considered for decision-making positions across member organisations of the Olympic Movement. With the support of the Women and Sport Commission and Olympic Solidarity, NOCs are hosting seminars to teach leadership skills to women, and more NOCs are appointing women to top administrative positions. The 5th IOC World Conference on Women and Sport in 20 focused on bringing more women into management and leadership roles, and increasing collaboration and partnerships, especially with UN organisations. More than 800 delegates from 135 countries unanimously approved The Los Angeles Declaration, a series of recommendations aimed at promoting gender equality in sport and using sport as a tool to improve the lives of women around the world. 24

25 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IN ACTION: EDUCATION THROUGH SPORT Sport is a powerful tool for education. The IOC uses sport to encourage school attendance, and to deliver educational messages that promote healthy lifestyles and Olympic values. In addition to the Culture and Education Programme at the Youth Olympic Games and the Olympic Values Education Programme, the IOC partners with other organisations to promote education through sport in impoverished areas throughout the world. In 2010, the IOC launched a three-year initiative with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to bring the promise of sport and the power of education to a refugee settlement in Namibia, where per cent of the population is between 10 and years old. The IOC s goal through this partnership with UNHCR is to reach youth through sport and engage them in productive activities in order to lessen the rate of teenage pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and drug abuse. Elements of the programme also focus on empowering young women through sport. The IOC partners with the World Food Programme to support school feeding programmes and to use sport to help motivate children to attend school. In addition to direct financial support for food supplies, the IOC and its partners provide sport and recreation equipment to encourage physical activity and the integration of sport into school activities. The IOC also uses sport to educate young people about the risk of HIV/AIDS and how to prevent it. The IOC has joined the global fight against HIV/AIDS by hosting information workshops with NOCs; supporting national projects of NOCs and partner organisations such as the Red Cross movement and local NGOs; and developing with UNAIDS a toolkit in seven languages to foster HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention among the sports community. The IOC also works with partner organisations to raise HIV/AIDS awareness among Olympic athletes by distributing brochures and other informational material in the Olympic Village. 25

26 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IN ACTION: SPORT AND ENVIRONMENT Since the Olympic Charter was amended in 1994 to include concern for the environment as the third pillar of Olympism alongside sport and education and culture the Movement has made significant progress in minimising the environmental footprint of the Games and in using the Olympic platform to educate audiences about environmental responsibility. To promote environmental responsibility throughout the world of sport, the IOC organises the biennial World Conference on Sport and the Environment in collaboration with the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and local partners. The Vancouver Organising Committee of the Olympic Games assisted with the 2009 conference in Vancouver; the Qatar Olympic Committee partnered for the 2011 conference in Doha. Both events offered a forum to raise awareness and share best practices. In 20, the IOC participated in the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, commonly known as Rio+20, and issued an updated version of Agenda 21, a blueprint for sustainability in sport that was developed in response to the landmark 1992 Earth Summit. The IOC also works with UNEP to ensure that environmental considerations are incorporated into pre-games planning and post-games impacts. Environmental sustainability is an important factor in the host city selection process and bid cities are asked to provide a detailed overview of the city s environmental health and their plans to deliver sustainable Games. 26

27 IOC FINAL REPORT The Vancouver Games were a turning point for sport and sustainability that provided a blueprint for staging other large sporting events in a socially responsible manner. The Vancouver Organising Committee created a sustainability governance model and an integrated sustainability management and reporting system (SMRS) to foster organisation-wide, cross-functional responsibility and public accountability for performance on sustainability commitments. The Vancouver Olympic Village was designed to serve as a model for sustainable urban planning. The London Games built on the success of Vancouver by making environmental sustainability a core element of Games planning. In addition to revitalising an industrial wasteland, the London Organising Committee is credited with contributing to the development of ISO 201 the international standard on sustainability in event management. Sustainability lessons from the Games are shared through the Olympic Games Knowledge Management Programme. The IOC encourages other sport organisations to focus on sustainability by holding regional seminars for NOCs and recognising best practices at the grassroots level with the Sport and Environment Awards. 27

28 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPISM IN ACTION: CULTURE AND SPORT Promoting cultural exchange is integral to the IOC s goal of bridging cultures. The Olympic Games provide a global showcase for the art, music and culture of the host nation, and organisers are required to develop a cultural programme as part of the Games planning process. The Vancouver and London Games both featured Cultural Olympiads that offered a wide array of music, theatre, art and other cultural activities. The Vancouver cultural programme featured nearly 200 events over 60 days Legacies Now, an organisation created for the Vancouver Games, sponsored more than 0 arts and cultural projects throughout Canada and established a programme that allowed more than 16,000 students to attend summer camps that focused on arts, sport and recreation. The cultural programme for the London Games featured 500 events over four years, culminating in the London 20 Festival during the Games. By the time it was over, more than 16 million people across the United Kingdom had attended or participated in performances of various types, including the world s biggest Shakespeare festival. The IOC Commission on Sport, Education and Culture also sponsors cultural events. A commission-sponsored exhibit in London s Guildhall Art Gallery featured works from more than 60 artists supported by NOCs from all five continents. The artists shared their vision of Sport and the Olympic Values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect through sculptures, carvings, paintings and mixed media. The works were later displayed at the House of International Sport in Lausanne, and the top three entries in sculpture and graphic arts were honoured at the 8th IOC World Conference on Sport, Education and Culture in Amsterdam in November

29 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPIC MUSEUM RENOVATION Two decades after it opened, the Olympic Museum is undergoing a metamorphosis that will bring it into the digital age, expand access to its treasures and share them worldwide. The initiative closed the Olympic Museum in 2011 for major infrastructure, layout and design renovations. A temporary structure was established nearby until the Olympic Museum s scheduled reopening in The Olympic Museum in Lausanne is the centrepiece in a collaborative network of more than 20 Olympic Museums worldwide all sharing the rich history of the Games and the Olympic Movement with visitors of all ages. Concurrent with the Olympic Museum renovation, the IOC initiated an ambitious effort to collect and digitise Olympic archival materials to create a global resource for information on the Olympic Movement and Olympic values. The end result will be an Olympic Multimedia Library featuring 250,000 photos, 8,000 hours of audiovisual recordings, and 10,000 objects from the Olympic Museum s collection, allowing visitors to relive previous Olympic Games. 29

30 IOC FINAL REPORT SUPPORTING THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT As the supreme authority of the Olympic Movement, the IOC has an obligation to serve the athletes, to protect the integrity of sport and to ensure that the Movement is looking to the future. The past four years have seen significant new initiatives on all fronts.

31 IOC FINAL REPORT THE IOC HAS AN OBLIGATION TO SERVE THE ATHLETES. 31

32 IOC FINAL REPORT SUPPORTING THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT: PROTECTING AND SUPPORTING ATHLETES Athletes are at the core of the Olympic Movement. The IOC serves athletes by protecting their health and safety, helping them with issues specific to elite sport and assisting their transition to life after they retire from competition. Athletes Health and Safety The IOC Medical Commission has helped raise standards in sports medicine and related fields by hosting international medical conferences, supporting the work of NOCs and editing a medical journal. The commission examines health issues critical to the Olympic Games, including concussions, age determination and injury in young athletes, as well as topics like biomechanics and nutrition. The commission updated the Olympic Movement Medical Code, which provided guidelines for medical care and medical ethics, in advance of the 2010 Vancouver Games. The IOC is increasingly placing emphasis on the prevention of injuries and illnesses, often working closely with IFs and NOCs. A first IOC World Conference on the Prevention of Injury and Illness in Sport was held in 2011 with a second edition scheduled for The IOC also requires NOC physicians to report all athlete injuries and illnesses that occur in competition and training at the Olympic Games so that they may be analysed to gain further knowledge about the effectiveness and weaknesses of existing prevention programmes. Each IF also shares data on their athletes risk exposure, equipment evolution, venue safety and rule changes to help prevent injuries. Entourage Commission Many top Olympic athletes rely on an extensive support structure that includes coaches, trainers, agents, family, friends and others in similar roles. Following a recommendation by the Olympic Congress in Copenhagen in 2009, the IOC established the Entourage Commission in The commission works to improve the quality and level of services provided by the athletes entourage, and to encourage high ethical standards by entourage members. The first Guidelines for the Conduct of the Athletes Entourage were issued in The commission also provides advice to athletes and their parents, with specific suggestions for parents of beginner, intermediate and advanced athletes. Helping Athletes Transition Out of Sport Creating a lifestyle balance and transitioning to a career after sport can be difficult for some Olympic athletes. The IOC s Athlete Career Programme (ACP) provides guidance and tools to help athletes manage training and competition and focuses on education, life skills and employment. Since launching, the ACP has helped more than 10,000 athletes in over 100 countries. 32

33 IOC FINAL REPORT OLYMPIC SOLIDARITY The Olympic Games provide a global stage for the best athletes from every region on earth, but some aspiring Olympians have insufficient resources to develop their full potential. The IOC s Olympic Solidarity bridges the gap by working with NOCs, especially those with the greatest need, to help athletes get access to proper training facilities, coaching and other support. In addition to assisting athletes through Olympic Scholarships, Olympic Solidarity provides team grants and finances technical training for coaches. Olympic Solidarity also promotes the development of sport at the global and continental level and offers subsidies to NOCs to help with Olympic Games expenses. Funding for Olympic Solidarity, which also extends to the Youth Olympic Games, comes from the NOCs share of the Olympic broadcast rights for the Games and was budgeted at USD 311 million for 2009 to 20, an increase of over 27 per cent compared to that of the previous four-year period. The 2010 Vancouver Games featured the first full Olympic Winter Games Scholarship programme. Scholarships were awarded 16 months before the Games to give athletes adequate time for training. Twelve NOCs were composed entirely of Solidarity scholarship holders. IN NUMBERS VANCOUVER 2010 NOCs that benefited: 60 Scholarships allocated: 325 Solidarity Scholarship holders at the Games: 227 Sports covered: 5 Medals won: 13 LONDON 20 NOCs that benefited: 177 Scholarships allocated: 1,264 Solidarity Scholarship holders at the Games: 657 Sports covered: 20 Medals won: 76 33

34 IOC FINAL REPORT SUPPORTING THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT: PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF SPORT Over the past quadrennium, the IOC launched important new initiatives to expand the fi ght against doping and confront the threat of corruption. The Fight Against Doping Preventing and detecting doping in sport remained a top priority. The London Games featured the most comprehensive testing programme of any Olympic Games in history, with more than 5,000 tests both urine and blood during the Games. Tests were conducted on the top fi ve fi nishers in every event, plus two competitors selected at random. The IOC worked closely with the World Anti- Doping Agency (WADA) to test athletes and provide clear testing guidelines. The WADA-accredited laboratory used state-of-the-art technologies and operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week with a team of more than 150 antidoping scientists from several countries. The IOC keeps all samples for eight years to enable further testing should new technologies become available an approach that proved its value when retesting from the 2004 Athens Games, the 2006 Turin Games and the 2008 Beijing Games revealed 10 new doping cases. The IOC also became more effective in targeting testing to athletes who have been linked to suspicious activity. As a further deterrent, NOCs and IFs conducted extensive pre-games testing. Preventing Irregular and Illegal Betting In 2011, the IOC opened a new era of collaboration against match-fi xing in sport by convening a highlevel Working Group on Irregular and Illegal Betting in Sports comprised of representatives from sport, law enforcement, government, the UN, the European Union and betting operators. The panel has focused on three main areas education, monitoring, and legislation and has developed specifi c recommendations for action. The IOC also stepped up its own efforts at the Olympic Games in Beijing, Vancouver and London to prevent match-fi xing. 34

35 IOC FINAL REPORT PROTECTING THE AUTONOMY OF SPORT The IOC works with governmental organisations on many levels to put sport to work for society and to protect the integrity of sport. Government authorities can help make sport more accessible in schools and communities, and have the power to prohibit discrimination in sport. They also have a vital role to play in the fight against doping, illegal betting and other corrupting influences. But sport should never be used as a political tool. As the leading body of the Olympic Movement, the IOC is the chief defender of the autonomy of sport. It is at the forefront of efforts to educate governmental bodies on the unique nature of sport, while acknowledging the need for sport organisations to adhere to principles of good governance. Those efforts include an ongoing dialogue with the European Commission on issues related to autonomy and cooperation. In a major step forward, the European Union s Lisbon Treaty, which took effect in December 2009, formally recognised the specific nature and the importance of sport. The treaty also provides a legal foundation to support and promote actions by EU member states in the field of sport achieving a long-sought goal of the Olympic Movement. 35

36 IOC FINAL REPORT SUPPORTING THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT: LOOKING TO THE FUTURE The Olympic Movement has thrived for more than a century by holding fast to enduring values while adapting to change. The IOC has to constantly look to the future to ensure that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement remain relevant and financially secure. The Olympic Congress An Olympic Congress has been held just 13 times since the first Congress met in Paris in 94 to create the modern Olympic Games. In 2009, the XIII Olympic Congress in Copenhagen brought this special gathering into the digital age as delegates focused on the Movement s future. The Congress theme, The Olympic Movement in society, captured the scope of the discussions, which explored issues related to athletes; the Olympic Games; the structure of the Movement; Olympism and youth; and the digital revolution. The Congress set new standards for inclusiveness by inviting online suggestions from the public and Olympic Family members in advance of the three-day gathering. In addition, all of the Congress sessions were broadcast live via the internet. The Congress produced 66 specific recommendations that provided a framework for action by the IOC, IFs and NOCs. The results can be seen in initiatives to engage young people, embrace digital communication and build on the Youth Olympic Games as a model for combining sport, education and culture. The most significant legacy of the Congress may result from recommendations that led to the development of a new IOC Youth Strategy. Although work on the strategy was underway at the end of 20, it aims to offer young people who do not have access to sport, for whatever reason, the possibility of discovering the benefits of physical activity and sport. A Solid Financial Foundation A solid financial foundation is paramount to the long-term success of the Olympic Movement. Despite the worst global recession in more than 60 years in the middle of the quadrennium, the IOC raised more revenue than ever; it also shared more than ever with NOCs, IFs and Organising Committees; and continued to build its reserve fund, which ensures the financial longevity of the Olympic Games and protects against catastrophic events. Long-term agreements with Olympic Broadcast Partners and Worldwide Olympic Partners provide financial stability and help share Olympic values with a wider audience. The IOC s revenues during the 2009 to 20 quadrennium increased by more than per cent, to USD 5.22 billion. The IOC distributes more than 90 per cent of its revenue to member organisations of the Olympic Movement. The main recipients include: The Organising Committees for the Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games (OCOGs and YOGOCs) The IOC contribution supports the staging of the Summer and Winter editions of the Games. Organising committees raise additional revenue through domestic marketing activities. National Olympic Committees (NOCs) The IOC distributes TOP Programme revenue to more than 200 NOCs to train and develop their Olympic hopefuls, athletes and teams. The IOC also supports NOCs through Olympic Solidarity, an autonomous commission that distributes revenue to NOCs. 36

37 IOC FINAL REPORT International Federations (IFs) The IOC provides revenue to the International Sports Federations. These funds, which are used to support the development of sport worldwide, are distributed after the completion of the Games in which the federation is active. Recognised organisations and Federations The IOC contributes Olympic revenue to recognised organisations, including the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Fairplay International, and the International Olympic Academy. In addition to supporting organisations within the Olympic Movement, the IOC added USD 0 million to the reserve fund over the last four years. At the end of 20 it stood at USD 901 million. Olympic Revenue Sources: Broadcasting (47%) TOP Programme (16%) OCOG Domestic Sponsorship (29%) Ticketing (5%) Licensing (3%) Olympic Revenue Distribution: NOCs/IFs/OCOGs (>90%) IOC (<10%) 37

38 IOC FINAL REPORT SUPPORTING THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT: LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Olympic Broadcast Partners The Olympic Movement could not achieve its goals without strong financial support. Olympic Broadcast Partners remain the largest source of revenue for the Olympic Movement and also play an essential role in sharing the Games experience. The London Games reached the largest audience in Olympic history 3.7 billion people globally. Broadcast rights holders delivered more and better coverage, with a significant increase in accompanying digital and mobile offerings. Interest in future Games is strong. The IOC has completed agreements extending as far as the 2024 Games, including a USD 4.3 billion agreement with longstanding Olympic Broadcast Partner in the US, NBC, until

39 CLICK HERE TO PRINT DOCUMENT IOC FINAL REPORT The Olympic Partner Programme The Worldwide Partners in The Olympic Partner (TOP) Programme play an essential role in staging the Olympic Games, promoting Olympic values and sustaining IOC development efforts around the world. The seventh edition of the TOP Programme (TOP VII), covering the quadrennium, was the most successful ever, generating nearly USD 958 million for the Olympic Movement, including all 204 NOCs, the OCOGs and the IOC. In addition to financial support, the 11 Worldwide Partners provided products, technology and expertise to ensure the success of the Vancouver and London Games. Creative advertising and other promotional efforts helped share the excitement of the Games and promoted and communicated the Olympic values to a broad international audience. In a reflection of the Olympic brand s continuing appeal, agreements for TOP VIII have already surpassed the support of the previous four years and agreements have already been completed with seven partners for TOP IX (until 2020). 39

40 IOC FINAL REPORT IOC ADMINISTRATION EFFICIENCY AND AGILITY The IOC Administration implements the policies of the IOC Session, Executive Board and the President, and supports the work of IOC Commissions. Over the past four years, the administration has sought to maximise the performance of the organisation with improvement in three key areas: Efficiency and accountability Collaboration and agility Protecting Olympic heritage

41 IOC FINAL REPORT THE IOC ADMINISTRATION HAS SOUGHT TO MAXIMISE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ORGANISATION. 41

42 IOC FINAL REPORT EFFICIENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY The launch of the Youth Olympic Games, new and expanded partnerships with UN agencies, and the increasing complexity of the Olympic Games have significantly increased demands on the IOC, yet there has been no significant increase in staff. The IOC had 355 full-time employees at the end of 20, just more than four years earlier. The staff reflects the diversity within the Olympic Movement, with more than 45 nationalities represented. A shared-services approach that centralised support processes across a number of areas increased efficiency and encouraged collaboration among departments. All departments continued to focus on improving project management skills, with training to help employees deliver complex inter-departmental projects. Building on the work of the 2009 Olympic Congress and a 2010 staff survey, the IOC administration launched the Shape initiative to review its scope of services and to ensure that the staff is prepared to adapt to evolving demands, while ensuring efficiency and effectiveness. The administration s accountability to the IOC leadership and the Olympic Movement is buttressed by an internal auditor who reports directly to an Audit Committee comprised of three IOC members. The auditor is empowered to investigate any suspected deviation from IOC financial or operational policies. The auditor also ensures that department heads conduct an annual risk assessment to identify potential problems before they occur. The IOC administration is also subject to the IOC ethical rules and the supervision of the IOC Ethics Commission. 42

43 IOC FINAL REPORT COLLABORATION AND AGILITY The administration has embraced new technology and launched a host of new initiatives to enhance collaboration within the IOC, and between the IOC and constituents within the Olympic Movement. The past four years brought dramatic changes in the way the IOC communicates with internal and external audiences. The successful integration all of the IOC s internet assets the public website, the extranet for IOC constituents and stakeholders, and the intranet for IOC employees as part of the 3Net project significantly improved communication and collaboration. Internal stakeholders benefitted from new extranets for Rule 51 compliance, knowledge management and Olympic Results and Information Services (ORIS). An updated and enhanced external website ( debuted in And the IOC also now engages with over 22 million people around the world with its integrated multiplatform approach to social media. In 20, the administration began work on a planned extension of IOC headquarters that will centralise operations on two sites Vidy and the Olympic Museum as well as maximise technology and encourage further collaboration with design features that anticipate workplace advances over the next 20 years. 43

44 IOC FINAL REPORT PROTECTING OLYMPIC HERITAGE The Olympic Rings are the most widely recognised symbol in the world correctly identified by 95 per cent of the respondents in a recent global survey and closely linked to the values they represent. The IOC s challenge is to protect the integrity and special status of the Olympic symbol while allowing engagement and inclusion. To meet this challenge, the administration issued clear guidelines for consistent use of the Olympic symbol and worked with stakeholders to ensure compliance. More direct engagement with TOP Partners and NOCs in support of their Olympic-themed marketing activations reduced the risk of inappropriate use of Olympic symbols. In 2010, the first of an ongoing series of workshops was held to help NOCs make sure their sponsors brand activation supports the goals of the Olympic Movement as well as the sponsors commercial interests. Protecting the integrity of the Olympic symbol is closely tied to the IOC s efforts to safeguard the Olympic Movement s heritage. The Patrimonial Asset Management (PAM) Programme, begun in 2007, achieved significant progress over the past four years in an unprecedented effort to acquire, restore, digitise, classify and catalogue thousands of films, photos and documents from the founding of the Olympic Movement in 94 to the present day. This Olympic treasure trove went online in 20 with the launch of the Olympic Multimedia Library on the IOC Extranet. The digital archive includes more than 250,000 photographs, 8,000 hours of audiovisual recordings, 1,000 historical documents and more than 10,000 objects from the Olympic Museum s collection. By the end of 20, the IOC was on the verge of finalising the acquisition of film footage from every Olympic Games. Through the Olympic Multimedia Library, Olympic Movement stakeholders can relive moments from the first Olympic Games in 96 to the most recent editions and explore events behind the scenes. The administration is also looking to the future to ensure the long-term relevance of the Olympic Games in an everchanging world. A new 360 Games Management strategy is expanding the Games experience beyond the competition. For instance, questionnaires for candidate cities now put more focus on cultural elements and other activities that can help provide a lasting Games legacy. A cross-departmental working group was established to examine all aspects of the Games experience, with the goal of extending the power of the Olympic symbol to periods between Games. 44
