MESSAGE FROM THE IOC PRESIDENT I am pleased to present this Interim Report, which highlights the International Olympic Committee s activities and progress during 2009 and 2010. During this period we have worked towards fulfilling the missions of the IOC in accordance with the Olympic Charter including: Ensuring the regular celebration of the Olympic Games. Educating youth through sport. Promoting Olympism in society. Leading and supporting the Olympic Movement. We also have demonstrated financial strength and stability. For that I extend sincere thanks to the IOC members and stakeholders particularly to the National Olympic Committees, International Federations, Games Organising Committees, athletes, Worldwide Olympic Partners, rights-holding broadcast partners, and our competent and enthusiastic staff. In 2009 we organised an Olympic Congress which was an opportunity for the Olympic Movement to take stock to consider where it has been and where it is going. The result was 66 recommendations which are helping to strengthen and improve the Olympic Movement for generations to come. The 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver were unforgettable. The festive atmosphere in the stadiums and on the streets set the tone for a global celebration of sport. The inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore the same year were magnificent, delivering extraordinary Olympic moments and showing us that a new generation of athletes is ready to share and embrace the Olympic Values. Looking ahead, I know we have a need to shape our future. We have never been busier overseeing nine editions of the Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games and following up on the 66 recommendations to implement from the Olympic Congress. We will continue to be staunch allies for athletes as they are the heart of the Olympic Movement. So, too, are the youth of the world, from whom the athletes of the future are drawn. It is for them that we aim to deliver the highest-calibre Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games. It is for them that we will continue to lead the fight against doping and strive to combat irregular betting and match fixing. And it is for them that we will continue to place sport at the service of humankind. In doing all this, we will also honour the legacy of Juan Antonio Samaranch. His impact on the Olympic Movement will last far beyond his time on Earth. May his devotion to our cause inspire us all. Jacques Rogge 1

THERE IS NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO SHAPE THE FUTURE. 3
THE ROLE AND STRUCTURE OF THE IOC The International Olympic Committee (IOC) acts as a catalyst for collaboration amongst all members of the Olympic family from the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), the International Federations (IFs), the athletes and the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games, to the Worldwide Olympic Partners, broadcast partners and recognised organisations. The IOC leads the effort to place sport at the service of humankind a philosophy of life called Olympism that was conceived by Pierre de Coubertin, the IOC s founder. The IOC Members are volunteers who represent the IOC and Olympic Movement in their country and meet once each year at the IOC Session. The IOC President and Executive Board 15 IOC members elected by the Session have general responsibility for the administration and management of the IOC s affairs. In addition, the President may establish specialised IOC Commissions to study certain subjects and recommend actions to the Executive Board. In 2010 there were 26 commissions. The IOC is further supported in its work by the IOC administration, led by its Director General. Together these individuals and groups comprise a collaborative team focused on the singular goal of the Olympic Movement: to blend sport, culture and education to help build a better and more peaceful world. In accordance with this goal and as specified in the Olympic Charter the IOC oversees a wide range of programmes and projects organised primarily around four streams of activity: Ensure the regular celebration of the Olympic Games. Educate youth through sport. Promote Olympism in society. Lead and support the Olympic Movement. 4
THE IOC LEADS THE EFFORT TO PLACE SPORT AT THE SERVICE OF HUMANKIND. 5
ENSURE THE REGULAR CELEBRATION OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES The Olympic Games are the centrepiece of the Olympic Movement. They are a spectacular celebration of sporting excellence that showcase the world s best athletes. But they are also something more. The Games help bring Olympic values to life. The Olympic Games provide the global stage upon which men and women from different countries, cultures, religions and ethnic groups remind us of our common humanity as they share experiences and compete in an atmosphere of goodwill and fair play. At the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, billions shared the dreams fulfilled and the dreams cut short. They grieved the tragic loss of Nodar Kumaritashvili at the same time as they bore witness to the legacy of courage he left behind. It is for the athletes that the IOC has a mission to: Maintain the quality of the Olympic Games. Further enhance the experience of the Olympic Games. Ensure the relevance of the Olympic Games. 6
THE OLYMPIC GAMES ARE A SPECTACULAR CELEBRATION OF SPORTING EXCELLENCE. 7
MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games delivered 17 unforgettable days of sport at the highest level. A record 82 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated, with six NOCs competing for the first time. More than 40 per cent of the 2,566 competing athletes were women. In sporting achievements, fans around the world will long remember such gripping moments as Canada s dramatic overtime victory against the USA in men s ice hockey, snowboard king Shaun White nailing his trademark Double McTwist 1260, Lindsey Vonn scoring the women s downhill win, Didier Defago s thrilling victory in the men s downhill, and Kim Yu-Na s mesmerising show of elegance and athleticism to earn a world record score in women s figure skating. 8
VANCOUVER 2010 BY THE NUMBERS In terms of legacy, the 2010 Winter Games were more than just green. Vancouver s organising committee encompassed a legacy with social and economic opportunities as well as environmental benefits. The committee created a new sustainability governance model for large sports event organisations, new reporting frameworks and a sustainable toolkit for major sports events. It also demonstrated how a venue programme can be designed for legacy use and built to minimise environmental impact; how partnerships with aboriginal people can make a Games stronger; how socially and economically disadvantaged groups can participate in and benefit from the Games. Almost 1,000 recommendations resulted from the overall Vancouver 2010 Games evaluation process, many of which were discussed during the IOC debriefing organised in Sochi. 17 days of Olympic Games events 2,566 athletes, including more than 40 per cent women 7 sports Record participation by 82 National Olympic Committees (NOCs), including 6 for the first time 26 nations receiving medals, including 2 countries winning their first Olympic Winter Games gold medals (Slovakia and Belarus) 18,500 volunteers 10,000 media representatives Television audience of 1.6 billion viewers Coverage available on 235 TV stations and 100 websites around the world 31,902 television broadcast hours, almost double the amount in Turin 2006 99 per cent of Canadians receiving Games coverage More than 6,000 hours of coverage available on mobile phones for the first time Over 50,000 hours of coverage available across all media platforms More than 265 million video views on Internet and mobile platforms More than 1.5 million Olympic fans in one month on the IOC Facebook page 9
FURTHER ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES The experience of the Olympic Games for athletes as well as for fans and spectators at home and abroad is closely linked to their quality, and in this endeavour, the IOC and Games organisers also scored well. Post-Games surveys showed that some 95 per cent of athletes and officials said their expectations were met or exceeded, and a similar number of spectators felt the same. Broadcast hours reached unprecedented levels of quantity and quality, advancing the IOC s mandate set forth in the Olympic Charter to ensure the widest possible audience for the Olympic Games. With record television audiences around the world, Vancouver was broadcast in over 220 territories with total broadcast coverage exceeding 31,000 hours globally almost double that in Turin in 2006. The Vancouver Games were digital Winter Games, with online broadcast coverage on more than 100 websites. Online and mobile phone coverage accounted for around half of the overall broadcast output from Vancouver. For the first time the Winter Games also were broadcast in high definition and 5.1 surround sound, offering first-class picture quality and an excellent viewer experience. In addition, this was the first Games broadcast by the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), now fully integrated into the IOC. OBS, created by the IOC in 2001, achieved significant advancements, such as a 24-hour Olympic News Channel to widen the reach of the Games and a mobile phone feed to enhance digital media services. A further enhancement of the Olympic Games occurred with the IOC s first-ever use of Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube to engage younger Olympic fans around the globe, who are increasingly difficult to reach through traditional media. The IOC launched its Facebook page one month before the start of the Games, enabling fans to stay up to date with activities and events whilst sharing their stories about Vancouver 2010. By the time the Games ended, the page had attracted more than 1.5 million fans and generated nearly 200 million impressions. Social media allows the IOC to go where the fans are and lets them have their say. Editorial content tailored to what fans want and like moves Olympism closer to its audience, whilst geotargeting reaches specific communities in their own language with materials that interest specific groups. When the IOC launched, later in the year, a Chinese version of Twitter called Weibo complete with Chinese material written in Mandarin the site gained close to 1.3 million followers. 10
ENSURE THE RELEVANCE OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES To maintain the relevance and appeal of the Olympic Games, the IOC manages all aspects of the Games from a unified perspective called the 360 Games management approach. 360, as it is known, was launched in 2007 to address the long-term strategic vision relating to each Games edition. Rather than only doing things right, the IOC also focuses on doing the right things because 360 takes a holistic approach to better understand the big picture and involve more stakeholders in assessing the mid- to long-term risks and opportunities surrounding the staging of the Games. In the past two years 360 has focused on a wider Games environment the local culture, the role played by third parties in the success of the Games and the youth context. What do young people consume? How and why? Its work has been aided by six communities functioning as think tanks that cover all dimensions of successful Games: Olympic product and experience; client services; image, context and reputation; venues and infrastructure; finance and commercial; and Games operations. Initially staffed by internal resources, the communities have been expanded to include external stakeholders as well. Research also plays a big role in ensuring Games relevance. Results are used to support decisions, drive communication strategy, foster knowledge transfer between organising committees and support the sales process with rights-holding broadcasters and Worldwide Olympic Partners. The most recent research conducted after Vancouver 2010 shows that a positive shift in opinion towards the Olympic Games is particularly strong amongst young people. They find the Olympic Games relevant to their generation (60 per cent), a good role model for children (75 per cent) and an encouragement to participate in sport (77 per cent). Another route to staying relevant is to refresh the sports on the Olympic programme during regular reviews. The IOC considers a number of factors when determining a sport s suitability for the Olympic Games, including youth appeal, universality, gender equity, popularity, good governance, respect for athletes, respect for Olympic values and general value added to the Olympic Programme. In 2009, the IOC Session voted to include golf and rugby sevens to the programme for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, out of seven sports seeking to enter the programme. Both are very popular and have global appeal. In 2009, women s boxing was approved for the programme of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London as well as new events in cycling, canoe sprints, modern pentathlon and tennis. The changes reflect the IOC s desire to continually refresh the Olympic programme and its commitment to increase participation by women. Ski cross, a sport that appeals to a younger audience, was provisionally included at the Vancouver Games and will be maintained on the Winter Games programme, the IOC Executive Board decided in October 2010. In addition, the city of Rio de Janeiro was elected as the host city of the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in 2016 at the 121st IOC Session in 2009, bringing the Olympic Games for the first time to the continent of South America. 11
EDUCATE YOUTH THROUGH SPORT Sport educates youth because it teaches the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect. As young people strive for excellence on the fields of play, demonstrate respect for their fellow players and celebrate friendship, they learn valuable life lessons: that you don t have to be a winner to be a champion, that flags don t matter but people do. The Olympic Movement has thrived for more than a century because Olympic values don t change. The world does change, however, and the IOC strives to stay strong and relevant. That s why the IOC: Organises the Youth Olympic Games. Uses sport as an educational tool. 12
SPORT TEACHES THE OLYMPIC VALUES OF EXCELLENCE, FRIENDSHIP AND RESPECT. 13
THE YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES The inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Singapore in 2010 allowed the world s top young athletes to come together for an inspiring and thrilling event that combined high-level sports competitions with an attractive and modern culture and education programme. Nearly 3,600 athletes aged 15 to 18 participated in the 12- day competition which included all 26 sports of the Summer Olympic Games, with a smaller number of disciplines and events. The format was innovative and featured events for teams of mixed genders and mixed nationalities. New disciplines were also introduced that appeal to a younger audience 3-on-3 basketball, head-to-head sprints in canoe and kayak, and combined discipline cycling as well as new technology, such as the modern pentathlon laser gun. By the end of the Youth Olympic Games the best athletes of the world had thrilled audiences with performances of the highest level, underlining the quality of the sporting competition, while almost half of the 205 participating NOCs had enjoyed medal success, including a first Olympic gold medal for Vietnam and a first Olympic medal for Jordan. In addition to participating in high-level competition, young athletes took part in an ambitious Culture and Education Programme (CEP) which featured interactive booths, exhibitions and workshops set up in the heart of the Youth Olympic Village. Five themes Olympism, social responsibility, skills development, expression and well being & healthy lifestyle encompassed more than 50 activities that gave young athletes an easily accessible way to better understand significant global issues affecting them. Three UN agencies also helped to implement activities, along with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the World Anti-Doping Agency, the International Olympic Academy and the International Fairplay Committee. Three YOG Ambassadors Usain Bolt, Yelena Isinbaeva and Michael Phelps appeared in videos and online to inspire young competitors, answer their questions and raise the profile of the event. They were relayed, in Singapore, by 47 Athlete Role Models covering 26 sports that took part in the educational activities with the young participants at Games-time. 14
Eighty per cent of the athletes said they learned something from the CEP and a full 90 per cent said they liked it. Eighty per cent of the athletes also felt that the level of competition was similar to a continental or world championship; 90 per cent of the international sports federations rated the competition format excellent or good. The Youth Olympic Games are about inspiring youngsters to be the best they can be but also to enjoy sport for sport s sake and continue enjoying it long after dreams of medals have faded. As IOC President Jacques Rogge who spearheaded the launch of the Youth Olympic Games told the athletes, their participation would help them learn the difference between winning and being a champion. To win, you merely have to cross the finish line first. To be a champion, you have to inspire admiration for your character as well as for your physical talent. What IOC President Rogge called truly inspirational Games in his Closing Ceremony speech were delivered in less than three years, thanks to close collaboration amongst the Singapore 2010 Organising Committee, NOCs, International Federations and a dedicated team at the IOC. The first edition of the Winter Youth Olympic Games will kick off in Innsbruck, Austria, in January 2012. Athletes will compete in all seven Olympic winter sports, again with a smaller number of disciplines and events. The second summer edition will take place in Nanjing, China, in 2014. The candidature process for the second Winter edition in 2016 is currently under way with Lillehammer, Norway, as a Candidate City. 15
YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES BY THE NUMBERS 12 days of sports competitions 3,522 athletes ages 15 to 18; 52 per cent men and 48 per cent women record participation by women in an Olympic event 26 sports Universal participation by 204 NOCs + 1 independent team 5 per cent mixed-gender and/or mixed-noc team events Athletes from 93 NOCs won medals, including a first Olympic medal for Vietnam (gold), Nauru and Jordan (silver). A total of 9 NOCs won their first-ever Olympic medal. Bronze medallist show jumper Dalma Rushdi Malhas the first Saudi Arabian woman competing in an Olympic event potentially opened the door for other Saudi female athletes. 3 YOG ambassadors Usain Bolt, Yelena Isinbaeva and Michael Phelps inspired young competitors and raised the profile of the event. 29 Young Ambassadors between the ages of 18 and 28 encouraged their delegations to take full advantage of cultural and educational activities and take the Olympic values back to their communities. They represented all five continents and some 60 per cent were women. 47 Athlete Role Models from the International Federations and the IOC Athletes Commission offered advice and tips to athletes through several Chats with Champions held before and during the Youth Olympic Games. 29 Young Reporters received specialised media training and actively provided content to the international media. 1 coach s oath that will be incorporated for the first time into future Olympic Games, starting with London 2012 1 medal design competition, entries from more than 34 countries, top 10 favourites decided online by popular vote, 1 winner selected by an IOC jury 10.7 million video downloads from a dedicated website and YouTube s Youth Olympic Games Channel. At one point the channel was the third most-watched YouTube channel worldwide. 1 million views across Facebook and Twitter TV coverage in 160 territories 16
SPORT AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL The IOC continues its aim to use sport as an education tool. Key elements of these efforts include the Olympic Museum and the Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP). The Olympic Museum in Lausanne conserves and protects the Olympic legacy with permanent and temporary exhibits, cultural events and educational programmes. The museum hosts close to 200,000 visitors annually, including 50,000 under age 16. The 3 million visitors mark since its opening in 1993 was reached in February of 2009. The wider network of Olympic Museums numbering 88 around the world, with at least another dozen in the pipeline attracts up to two million visitors per year worldwide. Under a new initiative called Museum 2020, the Museum will temporarily close at the end of 2011 for a major renovation of infrastructure, layout and design and reopen in 2013. Meanwhile, much of the museum s collection will be viewable online, and exhibits will be set up in a temporary location nearby. The Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP) a key element of the IOC s global youth strategy is an ambitious initiative to teach Olympic values. Launched in 2005, the IOC project was built on two pillars: a teaching manual and an interactive database. With the pilot phase of the programme having covered about 50 countries and regions and more than 300 instructors trained, OVEP continues to expand. In addition to collaborating with NOCs, the programme has attracted interest from broader groups, such as International Sports Federations and UNESCO s Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet). In fact, UNESCO has been working to integrate OVEP into its network of associated schools, covering more than 9,000 schools in 180 countries. The 7th World Conference on Sport, Education and Culture attracted over 600 people to Durban in 2010 and closed with an exciting youth caucus and a set of recommendations which show the way forward. Organised under the motto Giving a voice to youth, young people who had participated in the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore as athletes, young reporters or ambassadors were invited to take the floor and share ideas and experiences. 17
PROMOTE OLYMPISM IN SOCIETY Olympism is a philosophy of life that places sport at the service of humankind. Sport unites nationalities, politics, religions and cultures. An undisputed tool to advance peace, education and development, sport reaches out to those living in poverty, disease, disaster or conflict, delivering a message of hope for a better tomorrow. With these goals in mind the IOC works to: Share the Olympic spirit. Foster human development. Empower women and girls. Further the cause of peace. Protect the environment. 18
SPORT DELIVERS A MESSAGE OF HOPE AND A BETTER TOMORROW. 19
SHARE THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT Sometimes overlooked in the glare of gold medals is the less glamorous but equally vital work undertaken at the grassroots level. It is here that the Olympic spirit draws its first breath. On or around June 23 every year about 150 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) from all five continents celebrate the day, back in 1894, when Pierre de Coubertin revived the Olympic Games and created the IOC during a meeting in Paris. Since 2009 Olympic Day has been broadened to encompass a variety of sports as well as educational and cultural elements under the concept of Move, Learn and Discover. As the only worldwide event of the Olympic Movement, Olympic Day showcases traditional Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect whilst encouraging everyone, regardless of age or ability, to participate in sport. Both in 2009 and 2010 Olympic Day was celebrated by more than four million people on the five continents. Three-quarters of them were under age 24. In a similar vein, Sport for All promotes the development of inclusive sport and physical education policies from grassroots to Olympic level to counter the deepening crisis of physical inactivity around the globe. Olympic Solidarity supports a growing number of Sport for All activities sponsored by the NOCs, as well as the 2010 and 2012 IOC Sport for All Congresses. The 13th World Sport for All Congress, held in June 2010 in Jyväskylä, Finland, brought together nearly 600 delegates from 92 countries to discuss customised programmes, strategies and policies to promote Sport for All amongst different age groups. 20
FOSTER HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Whilst sport is an agent for social change especially for community development in areas with few economic resources or educational opportunities much of the IOC s work in this area is done in collaboration with various agencies of the United Nations. The IOC and UN strengthened ties in 2010, with the IOC attending for the first time the UN General Assembly meeting as Permanent Observer. The decision by the UN to grant the IOC UN Permanent Observer status in October 2009 was a tribute to the longstanding partnership between the two organisations and to the IOC s contribution to the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through sport, a set of eight initiatives that the UN has targeted to achieve by 2015. Whilst the promotion of education, gender equality, environmental sustainability and HIV/AIDS prevention, amongst other issues, have long been featured on the IOC agenda, the MDGs place the Olympic Movement s own human development objectives in a broader perspective. By using sport as a tool for change, the IOC and its partners have implemented various activities across the globe in fields such as humanitarian assistance, peace-building, education, gender equality, the environment and the fight against HIV/AIDS. 21
At the grassroots level, the IOC initiated the Olympic Sports for Hope programme to provide athletes, young people and communities in developing countries with better opportunities to practise sport and be educated in the values of Olympism. Long a dream of IOC President Rogge, the Olympic Youth Development Centre in Lusaka, Zambia was officially opened in May 2010, welcoming more than 600 young people to state-of-the-art facilities. The six International Sports Federations of athletics, basketball, boxing, weightlifting, handball and hockey helped develop the centre, offering technical expertise and financial assistance. This multi-million-dollar pilot project now hosts around 1,000 athletes per month. The goal is to develop sport in Zambia and the sub-saharan region and also offer a wide range of education programmes, health services and community activities to improve the quality of everyday life. As another example, the IOC teamed up in 2010 with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to launch an ambitious three-year sport and education programme for some 8,500 young people living in the Osire refugee settlement in Namibia. The programme is designed to involve young people in sports activities in order to alleviate some of the major problems affecting them, namely teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, and drug abuse. And in Isla Fuerte, Colombia in 2009, the IOC along with its partners funded the building of an indoor hall for sports and cultural activities, as well as the upgrading of outdoor sports facilities for football, basketball and softball. The three International Sports Federations contributed to the project by providing sports equipment for the hundreds of young people on the island. Other common activities include the Together we can stop HIV and AIDS campaign conducted during the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver as well as strong involvement of UN agencies in the Culture and Education Programme put in place during the first Youth Olympic Games in Singapore last summer that reached out to some 3,600 young athletes and their entourage. 22
EMPOWER WOMEN AND GIRLS The IOC continues to make women s participation in sporting activities and administration one of its major concerns. On the playing field, participation by women continues to grow. In 2009, women s boxing was added to the Olympic programme for London 2012, the track cycling programme was modified and mixed doubles in tennis were introduced making all summer Olympic sports now open to both men and women. In 2010 more than 40 per cent of the athletes taking part in Vancouver were women, a new record for women s participation in the Olympic Winter Games. The inaugural Youth Olympic Games also saw record participation by women. Although gender equality still remains elusive in top administrative roles, more women are being elected to decision-making positions within National Olympic Committees. NOCs also are hosting seminars to teach leadership skills to women. The 4th Continental Seminar on Women and Sport was organised by the IOC in 2009 in collaboration with the Oceania Olympic Committee and NOC of Guam. The same formula was adopted in organising the 2010 African version of the seminar in Luanda, Angola in collaboration with the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa and the NOC of Angola. Both seminars were supported by Olympic Solidarity. The forum in Guam brought together 30 delegates from the 17 NOCs of Oceania. In Luanda, more than 65 delegates represented the continent s 53 NOCs. Young delegates took part for the first time in the two forums to begin strengthening their knowledge and management competencies. The recipients of the IOC Woman and Sport trophies were recognised for their outstanding contributions to the development of women s participation in sport and sports administration. In 2009 five continental trophies were awarded. 2010 also featured a world trophy which went to Dutch Olympic medallist and sports administrator Erica Terpstra for her service to sport and to actively promoting a tolerant and equal environment in sports associations. 23
FURTHER THE CAUSE OF PEACE Sport has no authority to make or enforce peace. But the IOC can and does work with partners to extend the reach and resources of sport. At the 1st International Forum on Sport for Peace and Development held in May 2009 in Lausanne, delegates asked the IOC and the UN Office on Sport for Development and Peace to establish a working party to generate best international practice between the Olympic family and all organisations active in the field of sport, development and peace. As part of a visit to the Middle East in October 2010, President Rogge met with the NOCs of Palestine and Israel to address a number of sports-related issues. Since those initial meetings, representatives of the Palestinian and Israeli NOCs have met in Lausanne and discussed further the free movement of Palestinian athletes, coaches, officials and sports material, as well as foreign visiting athletes. In addition, a modus vivendi was reached between the two NOCs. It was agreed that both NOCs will assess the difficulties faced by Palestinian athletes and work together on concrete proposals and a mechanism that would help improve the situation before referring to their respective public authorities. The Olympic Truce was once again adopted by the UN General Assembly in the lead-up to the Olympic Games in Vancouver, calling for nations to observe peace during Games-time and to contribute through sport to the search for diplomatic solutions to the world s conflicts. Athletes and Games officials were invited to show their support in Vancouver by signing the Olympic Truce Wall erected in the Olympic Village. After the Games, pieces of the wall were auctioned off with proceeds going to Haiti earthquake relief. 24
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT The IOC continues to feel a strong social responsibility to actively promote a healthy environment and to continue to face environmental challenges. Olympic Solidarity s Sport and Environment programme encourages NOCs to include environmental considerations in their policies and activities and helps them undertake specific actions that use sport as a tool for sustainable development. These initiatives may be national seminars, targeted awareness campaigns, specific sports events or clean-up campaigns aimed at sports venues and infrastructures. In partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and VANOC, the 8th World Conference on Sport and the Environment held in 2009 brought together representatives from the world of sport, industry, sponsors, the United Nations system and NGOs and resulted in a declaration calling to act to promote sustainable development through sport. The conference also showcased five organisations that received the first IOC Sport and the Environment Awards for their efforts in that field. 25
LEAD AND SUPPORT THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT As the leader of the Olympic Movement and the catalyst for collaboration amongst its members, the IOC has the ultimate responsibility to: Generate and distribute funds. Lead Olympism into the future. Keep athletes at the centre of the Olympic Movement. 26
THE IOC IS THE CATALYST FOR COLLABORATION AMONGST ALL MEMBERS OF THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT. 27
GENERATE AND DISTRIBUTE FUNDS Just as the athletes are an essential part of the Games, so too are the broadcast and sponsorship partners that provide the primary sources of Olympic revenue and help support the staging of the Games themselves. Olympic broadcast partnerships have been the single greatest source of revenue for the Olympic Movement for more than three decades. They give the Olympic Movement a secure financial base and help ensure the future viability of the Olympic Games. The Vancouver 2010 Games secured US$1.2 billion in broadcast revenue, a 55 per cent increase over the 2006 Games in Turin. In recent years the IOC has had notable broadcast rights deals not only in developed markets but also in up-and-coming developing markets. These deals included negotiating broadcast rights directly with individual broadcasters in certain cases to realise the appropriate value of those rights. In addition, the concept of broadcasting the Olympic Games itself has evolved. For Vancouver 2010, it comprised a multi-screen multi-platform experience, including not only on traditional free-to-air TV channels but also delivery of Olympic content over cable, satellite, Internet or other digital and mobile platforms. New broadcast platforms and markets allow the IOC to continue expanding the financial base of the Olympic Movement while also ensuring that the Games receive the widest possible global audience. Worldwide Olympic Partners are the other significant source of support, joining together to form The Olympic Partners (TOP) Programme. Each Olympic partner s products, technology and expertise are vital to the success of the Games. Partners also help promote the Games around the world through their marketing campaigns and sponsorship activations. Worldwide Olympic Partners typically spend up to three times the value of their initial sponsorship commitment on promoting their association with the Games. In return, the Games provide partners with an opportunity to connect with the public and build customer relationships, motivate employees, enhance corporate reputations and leave a lasting legacy in the communities where they do business. 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%) 28
Now in its 25th year, TOP continues to be successful. The Vancouver Winter Games showcased nine Worldwide Olympic Partners: Coca-Cola, Acer, Atos Origin, General Electric, McDonald s, Omega, Panasonic, Samsung and Visa. In 2010 two more companies became official Worldwide Olympic Partners through 2020: Dow and Procter & Gamble. Taken together, the two deals demonstrate the continuing vigour of the Olympic Movement s flagship global marketing programme. The IOC has eight partners through 2016 and five partners through 2020, including Omega and Visa, which extended their partnerships in 2009. Omega will continue as the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games, a position it has held for 29 Olympic Games. Visa, one of the founding members of the TOP programme, will continue as the exclusive payment services sponsor for the Olympic Games. In 2009, Atos Origin extended its partnership through 2016, and will continue as the worldwide information technology partner. By the time the Olympic cauldron is extinguished in London at the end of the Games in 2012, the TOP programme will have generated over a staggering US$3.5 billion in cash and value-in-kind products and services for the Olympic Movement since its inception in 1985. The majority of this revenue has been channelled to Games organisers and to the 205 National Olympic Committees around the world, enabling them to develop their Olympic teams and send athletes to the Olympic Games. The IOC keeps less than 10 per cent of all revenue collected to cover operational and administrative costs associated with governing the Olympic Movement. The rest is shared with member organisations of the Olympic Movement under the direction and approval of the IOC Finance Commission. The main recipients include: The Organising Committees for the Olympic Games (OCOGs) The IOC contribution, financed through Olympic broadcast revenue and TOP programme contributions, 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 each of the 205 NOCs around the world to train and develop their Olympic hopefuls, athletes and teams. The IOC also supports NOCs through Olympic Solidarity, an autonomous Commission responsible for managing and distributing the NOCs share of broadcast revenues. International Federations (IFs) The IOC provides broadcast revenue to the 33 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 the programmes of recognised organisations, including the World Anti- Doping Agency, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Fairplay International and the International Olympic Academy. 29
OLYMPIC SOLIDARITY: SPORT DEVELOPMENT AT THE NOC LEVEL The principal organisation responsible for coordinating assistance to the NOCs is Olympic Solidarity, an autonomous body reporting to the IOC Olympic Solidarity Commission. Its development and assistance budget in the current quadrennium is funded from the NOCs share of broadcast rights for the Olympic Games in Beijing and Vancouver and interest from future investments. Despite the global economic crisis that began in 2008, the 2009 2012 quadrennial budget rose by 27 per cent over the previous period to US$311 million thanks to higher television broadcast revenues and prudent, efficient financial management by the Olympic Solidarity Commission. The quadrennial budget supports World Programmes (US$134 million), Continental Programmes (US$122 million), Olympic Games subsidies (US$42 million) and forums, and administration and communication (US$13 million). Breakdown of 2009 2012 budget: World Programmes Continental Programmes Olympic Games subsidies Administration Key differences from previous budgets include: A 35 per cent higher budget for Continental Programmes. This is in keeping with Olympic Solidarity s policy of decentralisation towards the Continental Associations so they can address specific needs and priorities of NOCs on each continent whilst complementing but not duplicating World Programmes, which continue to be centrally managed at the Olympic Solidarity international office in Lausanne. An increase in athlete support to US$61 million in the World Programmes budget. For the first time in Olympic history, scholarships for Winter Games were provided (Vancouver 2010) as well as support to prepare athletes for the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore and Innsbruck. The 19 World Programmes cover the four areas of sports development considered essential for NOCs to accomplish the mission entrusted to them by the Olympic Charter: athletes, coaches, NOC management and promotion of Olympic values. Higher direct financial assistance to the NOCs than in the previous plan. 30
LEAD OLYMPISM INTO THE FUTURE In accordance with its role as leader of the Olympic Movement, the IOC strives to ensure that the Movement retains its relevance in today s evolving global society. For that reason the IOC convened the XIII Olympic Congress in Copenhagen in 2009. It was a truly global affair, with members of the IOC, NOCs, International Federations and Olympic organising committees, as well as athletes, coaches, sponsors and journalists attending. Entitled The Olympic Movement in Society, the Congress was the first in 15 years and the first of the new millennium. Five broad discussion themes covered an ambitious agenda: the athletes, the Olympic Games, the structure of the Olympic Movement, Olympism and youth, and the digital revolution. A nine-member editorial committee drafted a final document containing 66 recommendations. Working groups and commissions have been appointed to analyse and address all recommendations. In the area of autonomy, the IOC aims to preserve the Olympic Movement s integrity by assuring that its members remain free of governmental constraints and is vigilant in overseeing NOC relationships. Whilst the NOCs may cooperate with governmental and non-governmental bodies, they must preserve their autonomy and resist all pressures of any kind including political, legal, religious or economic that may prevent them from complying with the Olympic Charter. To further that goal, the IOC s NOC Relations department in 2010 organised 15 seminars around the world funded by Olympic Solidarity in which all 205 National Olympic Committees addressed ways that good governance can preserve NOC autonomy. Ultimately they agreed on minimum common principles of ethical behaviour and good governance for all NOCs regardless of their cultures, politics, economies or religions reflecting both the respect and the diversity of the Olympic Movement. The IOC has a moral and ethical obligation to protect the integrity of sport by combating cheating in all forms including the one linked to irregular and illegal betting. The IOC began tackling the problem in 2006, when the Code of Ethics was amended to forbid all participants in the Olympic Games from betting on Olympic events. In 2009 the Code of Ethics was again amended to forbid match-fixing. Also in 2009 the IOC established an independent agency, called International Sports Monitoring (ISM), to monitor betting activities at future Olympic Games. The betting activities on the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games were monitored and no form of any suspicious activity was detected. Betting monitoring services also have been made available to International Federations for their events. In October 2009 the Olympic Congress called for close collaboration amongst governments to put an end to illegal and irregular betting and match-fixing. In June 2010 the first seminar organised by the IOC on sports betting resulted in a set of recommendations calling for closer collaboration with governments and police investigation agencies. 31
KEEP ATHLETES AT THE CENTRE OF THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT Because athletes are the heart of the Olympic Movement, the IOC aims to protect their health, assist them with career choices and help them with their entourage. In the arena of athletes health, the fight against doping remains the absolute priority. Over the last eight years, the number of out-of-competition tests and those at the Games has doubled. A total of 2,157 drug tests were administered in Vancouver, compared to 1,219 in Turin. The vast majority of athletes were tested before and during the Winter Games in Vancouver. Despite the higher number of tests, there were fewer positive cases. Some 1,300 urine and blood tests were performed in Singapore for the Youth Olympic Games. The IOC Medical and Scientific Department also has sought consensus on a number of critical health issues since 2009. Subjects include periodic health examinations, concussion, age determination and injury risk in high-level young athletes, sexual harassment and abuse, fasting in sport, disorders of sexual development, and the use of platelet-rich plasma to repair injuries. In addition, the IOC contracted with four medical centres in 2009 to engage in a four-year programme to research sports injury and disease prevention in high-risk Olympic and trend sports. The four centres, located in Australia, Canada, Norway and South Africa, will conduct long-term research on risk factors and injury mechanisms, the consequences of sports injuries and prevention schemes. Also, a study was conducted by the IOC Sports Department in 2010 with all International Sports Federations on health, safety and security of athletes. 32
The Athlete Career Programme, developed by the IOC Athletes Commission, helps Olympic athletes make the transition from elite sport to normal life after they retire. Initially providing employment assistance, the programme was expanded in 2009 to focus also on education and life skills, delivered by the IOC through a website featuring videos, tips, case studies and testimonials. The 5th IOC Athlete Career Programme Forum held in October 2010 resolved to further improve programme implementation. Since its launch in 2005, the programme has nearly doubled in size from 15 to 27 National Olympic Committees and has supported nearly 7,000 athletes. The programme also was spotlighted at the Singapore Youth Olympic Games to provide guidance to young athletes. Athlete entourages are becoming more complicated in sport because individual athletes often must surround themselves with a significant number of specialists, such as trainers, coaches, agents, technicians, psychologists and physiotherapists. The relationships are complex and the role of each person is not always clear. In response to this issue, a new Entourage Commission was formed based on a recommendation by the Olympic Congress. The first meeting in December 2010 outlined initial objectives: Develop a code of conduct applying to every person in the entourage that could be adopted by all sports federations and NOCs. Codify the roles and responsibilities of the entourage, including parents, coaches, physicians, sport structures and governments. Both these documents would be made available on the Internet for easy access. Drive information down to the grassroots level by creating courses through Olympic Solidarity that would assist NOCs and federations to proactively manage entourages. 33
MAXIMISE PERFORMANCE: IOC ADMINISTRATION The IOC administration supports decisions made by the IOC leadership. In order to best serve the IOC and be the best catalyst for collaboration between Olympic stakeholders, the administration is committed to a process of continuous improvement. Leveraging the outcomes of this process, the IOC administration was able to: Launch more complex cross-departmental programmes. Increase the efficiency of the organisation. 34
THE IOC ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE ORGANISATION. 35
LAUNCH MORE COMPLEX CROSS-DEPARTMENTAL PROGRAMMES The IOC administration has consolidated activities, extended collaboration amongst departments and expanded core competencies all to ensure the successful delivery of bigger and ever-more-complex interdepartmental projects. Core IOC activities Lead the success of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the inaugural Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2010. The IOC, along with the Singapore Organising Committee, had just two and a half years from the announcement of Singapore as host city to the Opening Ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games. A dedicated team enabled the project to be developed rapidly and services across the IOC administration were adapted and adjusted to meet the new demands. IOC assets Optimise the IOC brand and patrimonial assets In 2010 the Executive Board approved administration recommendations to more consistently manage the Olympic symbol the Olympic rings and how they are displayed on all IOC products and in their various associations. Clear guidelines for their use have been developed and are being implemented. This initiative complements a long-term programme begun in 2009 to strengthen intellectual property and expand protection of permanent trademarks like those for the Olympic rings and even the word Olympic. The organisation s ambitious Patrimonial Asset Management (PAM) programme to digitise, classify, catalogue and easily access all IOC assets including photos, videos and documents progressed in 2009 and 2010. By the end of 2010, 100 per cent of the audio, film and standard photo collections had been digitised, along with nearly all the video and high-quality photos. Systems are being optimised and working methods adapted to speed up the classification and cataloguing projects. Digital media Launch new Internet-based assets and new social media platforms. The overhaul of the IOC s external website (www.olympic.org) was the most high-profile project of 2009 for 3Net, a programme that integrates all Internet-based assets the external website (to reach the general public), the intranet (to interact with IOC employees) and the extranet (for interaction with IOC constituents and stakeholders). The successful website relaunch attracting 400,000 unique visitors in a single day was completed in time for the election of the 2016 Host City, when Rio de Janeiro was announced during the IOC Session in Copenhagen. The new website is more oriented towards the general public and features a microsite for the Youth Olympic Games. The extranets for the National Olympic Committees and commercial partners have been revamped and new extranets have been further developed for Rule 51 advertising compliance, for Olympic Results and Information Services (ORIS) and for knowledge management. In addition, social media activities were launched successfully, resulting in the IOC having a day-to-day relationship with seven to eight million people through Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. 36
INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE ORGANISATION To drive efficiencies and higher levels of operational effectiveness, the IOC administration increased the scope of services provided whilst maintaining the same headcount. A shared-services approach, in which support processes across a number of areas were centralised, encouraged more collaboration amongst affected departments, including human resources, finance, logistics, information management, legal affairs and technology. Across all departments the administration continued to focus on developing project management skills, complemented by appropriate training, to improve employees ability to deliver complex interdepartmental projects. Leveraging the outcome of the Olympic Congress and building on a staff engagement survey conducted in 2010, a programme entitled Shape was put in place to review the scope of services delivered by the IOC administration and to ensure that its operations can adapt to a newly evolving scope of demands all whilst insuring efficiency and effectiveness. 37
AN ENDURING SYMBOL The Olympic symbol, widely known throughout the world as the Olympic rings, is the visual ambassador of Olympism for billions of people. Designed in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, the Olympic symbol has timeless, universal significance. The five interlacing rings on a white background have grown to become one of the most recognised brands in the world. They represent the coming together of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from around the world at the Olympic Games. The Olympic rings anchor a complete architecture supporting the Olympic brand. The three Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect are paired with the five working principles of Olympism: universality, solidarity, collaboration, autonomy and social responsibility. The principles and values, in turn, support a unique mission: to ensure the regular celebration of the Olympic Games, to educate youth through sport and to promote Olympism in society. Together the mission, values and working principles showcase a vision that resonates deep within the Olympic Movement: contribute to building a better world through sport. As the leader of the Olympic Movement, the IOC invites all who share our vision to pursue it with us. The Olympic Movement belongs to everyone. 38
Olympism Vision Mission Olympism is a philosophy of life, which places sport at the service of humankind. Contribute to building a better world through sport Ensure the regular celebration of the Olympic Games Educate youth through sport Promote Olympism in society Values Encourage Effort Striving for Excellence Preserve Human Dignity Demonstrating Respect Develop Harmony Celebrating Friendship Working Principles Universality Solidarity Collaboration Autonomy Social Responsibility 39
