Chapter 2 of the Olympic Charter is entitled (The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Point 15 Legal Status. Point 16 (Members), 1.7. “Without prejudice to the provisions of Rule 16.3, all members of the IOC are elected for a TERM OF EIGHT YEARS and they can be RE-ELECTED for ONE or SEVERAL successive terms. The re-election procedure is established by the IOC Executive Commission. In several newspapers and among them the Agency ‘EFE’ and ‘AP’ headlined: “Thomas Bach is re-elected as President of the International Olympic Committee.
Thomas Bach has been re-elected president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) until the year 2025, when he will complete the MAXIMUM PERIOD OF 12 YEARS in office allowed by the Olympic Charter.
The German leader received a favorable vote from 93 MEMBERS of the Assembly of the organization, gathered Telematically in its 173rd Session. ONE VOTE AGAINST AND 4 ABSTENTIONS were registered. Said Bach: “Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for this overwhelming vote of confidence and faith, Bach said during a virtual meeting of IOC members. Bach stressed that Tokyo is the best prepared Olympic City in history, and reiterated that the Games will be inaugurated on July 23 despite the restrictions that persist due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Bach had an absolute leading role in the first hours of the session with two long speeches. His inaugural speech, focused on the promotion of Safe Games in Tokyo next July, and a report on the degree of compliance with the 2020 Agenda, the Roadmap that the IOC approved in 2014 to modernize and gain transparency and good governance. This dissertation was, de facto, a broad summary of the achievements of Bach’s first term, and therefore, the closest thing to the end-of-campaign rally that any electoral candidate does.
Almost thirty (30) members, both the most veteran such as Anita DeFrantz and the most recent entry to the IOC, in the case of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, asked to speak to praise the direction taken by the ship with the German at the helm. With their vote for re-election, they put on record their overwhelming support for the president.
In the final part of the Cocktail on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, I disclosed in detail, the total Rejection of MARUIZ VIZER’s Disrespect to the IOC, and his ‘Dictatorial’ role in the International Judo Federation, and which was the subject of a ‘ Show’, and that suspended Vladimir Putin, from ‘Honorary President’ of the International Judo Federation.
This brings me back to the Olympic Agenda 2020, which has 40 RECOMMENDATIONS, and some of the most important ones are not known by the Directors of the Sports Institutes of many countries, and from this one can add, the ‘SDG’, Technical Director of Sports, presidents of Federations and Sports Commissions of many countries. So is. CHAPTER 3 OF THE OLYMPIC CHARTER. (THE INNATIONAL SPORTS FEDE (Article 25. Recognition of the ‘IF’ “With the aim of developing and promoting the Olympic Movement, the IOC may recognize as IF International NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS that manage one or VARIOUS SPORTS on a global level and INCLUDING GOVERNING ORGANIZERS of these sports on a national level.
The statutes, practices and activities of the IFs within the Olympic Movement must be in ACCORDANCE with the Olympic Charter, particularly in everything related to the adaptation of the World Anti-Doping Code. Regardless of what it suffers, each ‘FI’ retains its independence and autonomy in the administration of the sport. No 26 MISSION and FUNCTION OF THE ‘IF’ in the Olympic Movement are: 1.1 “Establish and apply, in accordance with the Olympic spirit, the rules relating to the practice of their respective sports and ensure their application. 1.2 “Ensure the development of its sports throughout the world. 1-3 “Contribute to the achievement of the objectives set in the Olympic Charter, especially through the dissemination of Olympism and sports education. 1-6 “Assume responsibility for the direction and technical control of their sports at the Olympic Games and, if they agree, at Games Sponsored by the ‘IOC’. 1-7. “Facilitate technical assistance to put the Olympic Solidarity Programs into practice”. Do readers see the obvious urgency, and why it is necessary to rescue even with ‘Bygón’ some ‘FI’?.
THE 2020 OLYMPIC AGENDA. IT HAS 40 RECOMMENDATIONS. We will take a look at both: (Recom. 27), Comply with the Principles of Good Governance: “All organizations belonging to the Olympic Movement must accept and comply with the BASIC UNIVERSAL Principles of Good Governance (PBG) of the Sports Movement. 1) Said compliance will be supervised and evaluated. If necessary, the IOC can provide a procedure and support tool to help organizations comply with the main points. RECOMMENDATION 28 “The IOC will create a model to facilitate cooperation between national authorities and sports organizations.
RECOMMENDATION 29 :(Improve TRANSPARENCY) 1) The IOC Financial Statements are prepared and audited in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), although the ‘IOC’ is not required to comply with such strict standards. 2), The IOC will prepare an annual financial and activities report that will include the policy regarding the per diems of IOC Members.
(RECOMMENDATION 30) “Strengthen the Independence of the IOC ETHICS COMMISSION). “The President and Members of the IOC Ethics Commission will be elected by the ‘IOC’ Session. RECOMMENDATION 32 (Strengthen Ethics: “The IOC Ethics Commission will review the Code of Ethics and its regulations to adopt them in the effort of the 2020 Olympic Agenda to achieve greater transparency. Very little of this is being fulfilled in Panama.
THE LOOSE ‘TIPS’: N°1) A Note in the (DIARIO CRÓNICA DE MEXICO) of agencies, dated March 2, 2022, titled: “Russia and Belarus can COMPETE in the PARLÍMPICOS only as NEUTRAL”, “The Games Winter Paralympics will start on TWO DAYS, with 6 SPORTS, and 700 PARA-ATHLETES. They will not be able to display the acronyms of their local committees, since in the Russian case, it remains prohibited to compete with ANTHEM and FLAG due to doping scandals in recent years. The International Paralympic Committee (CPI), protected by its ‘feeling’ of neutrality, has allowed Paralympic athletes to participate in the games despite the fact that the invasion of Ukraine took place during the Olympic truce, which has been broken consequence of the war, the Paralympic Board was guided by the basic principles of the IPC, which include a commitment to political neutrality and impartiality, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of sport”. After expressing satisfaction that the Ukrainian sports delegation arrived safely in the Chinese capital, Russians and Belarusians will be able to
Participate ‘in an individual capacity’ and as ‘neutral athletes’. They will compete under the protection of the Paralympic flag and will listen to the Olympic anthem in the case of obtaining a gold medal in any of the disciplines they win.
‘THEY WILL COVER THEIR UNIFORMS’ Russian or Belarusian successes will not be included in the medal table. The Russians must cover the symbols referring to the Russian Paralympic Committee (CPR) on their uniforms and competition garments and the Belarusians the flag of their country. “Both the technical officials and the coaches of both delegations will appear as neutral without being able to show any symbol or flag,” adds the CPI statement.
The CPI also withdrew the so-called ‘PARALYMPIC PRIDE’ on Wednesday from Russia’s President VLADIMIR PUTIN and four other Russian leaders. “It is the most severe possible punishment that we can impose within our constitution and current CPI rules.
After Beijing 2022, we will also take steps with our 206 organizations to determine whether any breaches of the Olympic Truce for the Paralympic Games could lead to the possible suspension of a country, the statement insists. CLAIM: “The eyes of the world will be attentive to the Paralympic Winter Games in the coming days. It is vital that we show world leaders through our sport that we can come together as human beings and that our true power lies in promoting PEACE, UNDERSTANDING AND INCLUSION. This is at the core of what the Paralympic Movement does and what it stands for, the committee points out. This decision was made by the Governing Board, which is made up of 14 people, eight of whom are Paralympic Athletes”. Take note of this cocktail readers.
