    Chefs de Mission Manual Nanjing 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games July 2014 Welcome Message from NYOGOC President Dear Chefs de Mission, The 2nd Summer Youth Olympic Games will open in Nanjing, China, on 16 August 2014. On behalf of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (NYOGOC), I would like to extend my sincere greetings to all the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and offer you this Chefs de Mission Manual for Nanjing 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games. With the invaluable guidance of both the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Federations (IFs), and the great support of the NOCs, we have sought to put forward such concepts as youth and vigour, participation and sharing, cultural diversity and integration, wisdom and creativity, green energy and low-carbon emissions and safety and integrity, involving young people by giving them leading roles, and highlighting the importance of culture and education. Our aim is to stage a spectacular, high-quality event, which will encourage young people from around the world to “Share the Games, Share their Dreams”. As organiser of this global event, NYOGOC made the most of events such as the Chefs de Mission Seminar to listen to suggestions from NOCs and integrate them into the Chefs de Mission Manual, which compiles essential Games-related information, and policies and procedures in order to assist NOCs and to ensure their stay in Nanjing is both a pleasant and memorable one. Welcome to Nanjing! We hope our provision of top-quality facilities and an eco-friendly environment will guarantee the best services to young athletes and NOCs alike.

  • 2021-24 High Performance Plan
    ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW The 2017-2020 Quad was a pivotal period for USA Gymnastics (USAG). The organization faced numerous challenges and experienced extraordinary changes. Despite these challenges our athletes continued to demonstrate athletic excellence highlighted by gold-medal winning performances by the Women’s team and a historic World Championship for Rhythmic in which two athletes finished in the top 10 for the first time ever. The USA Gymnastics that has emerged from the crisis is a new organization led by new leadership with a new athlete-centric mission and a new set of values that prioritizes athlete safety and wellness while still supporting athletes to achieve their athletic dreams. In this High Performance Plan, USA Gymnastics asks for the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC)’s support in achieving athletic excellence on the world stage while providing the resources needed to give our elite athletes the holistic mental and physical support they need to thrive, not just on the Olympic stage, but also in life beyond gymnastics. Mission and Values The new USA Gymnastics is a mission-driven organization the puts what is best for the athlete community at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We listen to our athletes and provide platforms to embrace and amplify their voices. We consistently seek ways to help our athletes grow and thrive, both on and off the field of play. This is emphasized in USAG’s new mission statement: To build a community and culture of health, safety, and excellence, where athletes can thrive in sport and in life.
