Elevate athletes. Accelerate impact.
Athletes thrive within an authentically athlete-first Olympic Movement, enabled to achieve their full potential, to benefit from lifelong opportunities and to amplify their positive impact on the world.
2032 Objectives
Ensure that athletes’ commissions are mandatory, well-supported and backed by clear standards empowering them to exercise tangible influence at every level throughout the Olympic Movement.
Safeguard the integrity of sport and advocate for an athlete-centred, safe, fair and healthy environment within the Olympic Games and across the Olympic Movement.
Ensure a positive, life-changing Olympic Games experience bringing the unique, globally unifying character of the Games with the environment for athletes to perform at the highest level.
Equip athletes with opportunities and skills to support their physical and mental health and well-being, and to excel throughout their sporting lifecycle and beyond, in collaboration with commercial partners among others.
Deepen a strong sense of belonging to the Olympic Movement, ensuring that Olympians and athletes feel valued, understood, respected and connected to a global Olympic community for life.
Commitments
Make athletes’ commissions a mandatory and fully integrated component of governance across all sports organisations. This will be underpinned by enforceable IOC minimum standards and robust accountability mechanisms, while ensuring that they are sustainably financed and administratively supported so that they can operate effectively, independently and with meaningful impact.
Develop the necessary requirements to enhance and protect the athlete experience at the Olympic Games, ensuring the consistent delivery of a high-performance environment and preserving the uniqueness of the Olympic Games.
Increase focus on direct and tailored support to athletes and every Olympian from the IOC and the Olympic Movement, providing accessible, athlete-centred services that enable them to thrive both during and beyond their sporting careers.
Strengthen a connected and empowered global community, fostering a stronger sense of belonging, and a direct and lasting connection with the Olympics.
