Olympism Made Visible 1 ABOUT THE OLYMPISM IN ACTION FORUM The role of sport in our world is more relevant today than ever before. By bringing together thousands of athletes and inspiring billions of viewers, the Olympic Games and the spirit of Olympism unite people around the world and promote peace in our society. To further the momentum of using sport for good, the International Olympic Committee is launching the first ever Olympism in Action Forum (OiAF). The Olympism in Action Forum will take place on 5 and 6 October, just before the Youth Olympic Games, an elite sporting event that convenes future generations of athletes from 206 National Olympic Committees to compete in a sports programme based on that of the Olympic Games. The juxtaposition of these two events will shine a spotlight on the fresh thinking and new trends in sport, promoting Olympism on a global stage. Four years on from the reforms adopted in the Olympic Agenda 2020 which signalled the start of a new chapter in the future of the Olympic Movement, the OiAF, one of the very recommendations of Olympic Agenda 2020, will bring together stakeholders from across the Olympic Movement and society to open new dialogues, discuss global challenges, and share innovative experiences and inspiring stories to further mobilise sport to create a better world. Conversations during the Forum will transpire through plenary debates, collaborative workshops, live interviews and constructive and interactive dialogues with a diverse group of speakers and guests. The Forum is expected to draw 1,600 participants including athletes, International Federations, National Olympic Committees, business partners, UN agencies, NGOs, governments, private and public-sector leaders, academics, the media, and artists. Advancing the role of sport in society is a team effort, strengthened by an open exchange of diverse and innovative perspectives. Let’s come together and use sport to effect positive change around the world. IOC President Thomas Bach: “The Olympism in Action Forum is one of the results of Olympic Agenda 2020 where we said we want to open our windows and doors. We want to listen to society and to understand how the world sees us, rather than us telling the world how they should see us. Following the Forum, we will assess all of the contributions, learn from them and implement a number of hopefully innovative ideas.” 2 THE YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES (YOG) WHAT? The Youth Olympic Games are an elite sporting event for young people from all over the world. The YOG is an event distinct from other youth sports events, as it also integrates a unique Culture and Education Programme (CEP), based around five main themes: Olympism, Social Responsibility, Skills Development, Expression and Well-being and Healthy Lifestyles. The sports programme is based on that of the Olympic Games, with 28 sports featured on the summer programme and seven on the winter programme. In addition, the programme also includes exciting new disciplines and formats, such as 3-on-3 basketball, ice hockey skills challenge and mixed gender and mixed National Olympic Committee (NOC) events. Away from the field of play and through a variety of fun and interactive activities, workshops and team-building exercises, the CEP gives the participating athletes the opportunity to learn about the Olympic values, explore other cultures and develop the skills to grow as true ambassadors of their sport. WHO? The Youth Olympic Games aim to bring together talented young athletes aged from 15 to 18 from around the world. At YOG Buenos Aires 2018, all 206 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) will participate. The Summer Youth Olympic Games feature over 3,500 athletes and are held over a 12-day period, while the Winter Youth Olympic Games feature over 1,100 athletes and last 10 days. Non-athlete participants, namely the Young Reporters, Young Change Makers, Ambassadors and Athlete Role Models, are also an integral part of the Youth Olympic Games experience. WHEN? Just like the Olympic Games, the Youth Olympic Games are held every four years. The first summer edition was held in Singapore from 14 to 26 August 2010, and the first winter edition was held in Innsbruck, Austria, from 13 to 22 January 2012. The second Summer Youth Olympic Games were held in Nanjing, China, in August 2014 and the second Winter Youth Olympic Games took place in Lillehammer, Norway, in February 2016. The third Summer Youth Olympic Games will be held in Buenos Aires in Argentina in 2018, immediately following the Olympism in Action Forum. All Forum participants are invited to the YOG Opening Ceremonies on 6 October 2018. 3 WHAT IS OLYMPISM / THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT? Olympism is more than the Games, more than the Olympians. It is a philosophy of life that brings together sport with culture and education for the benefit of humanity. The spirit of Olympism lives well beyond the Olympic Games. It is defined by a set of values that inspire and connect people around the globe to build a better world through sport, 365 days a year. It is the coaches, volunteers, ground staff, early morning risers, parents that drive the team to practice, athletes, teachers, community workers and everything in-between. The people that make sport happen every day for themselves, their families, friends and communities. It is the power of the Olympic values - Excellence, Friendship and Respect - in every part of life to deliver a better world now and for generations to come. To learn about some of the individuals who are united by these values and putting Olympism into action everyday, visit Olympic.org/olympism-in-action/united-by-olympism We are all United By Olympism. WHAT IS UNITED BY? Sport has the power to unite regardless of age, gender, religion, nationality, ability. It unites us through passion, teamwork, commitment, loss and victory. It unites by creating a shared well-being of body and mind. We are United By sport. United By celebrates the power of Olympism to have a lasting positive impact on people’s well-being – physically, mentally and socially – every day. It shows the values of Olympism and the global community it creates, building lifelong friendships and fostering mutual respect amongst all. We are United By qualities that transcend borders, qualities that make us human. Terms that we believe we are all United By include: Excellence Friendship Respect Progress Peace Purpose Diversity Inspiration Legacy Tolerance Movement Passion Equality Courage Goals Hope Determination Action Perseverance Love Fair-play Family Sportsmanship 4 OLYMPISM IN ACTION FORUM PROGRAMME To access any photos taken during the event, please visit flickr.com/photos/IOCmedia To access any footage taken during the event, please visit IOCnewsroom.com Please note that this programme is not final, and a final one will be provided on the day.

    WORLD SQUASH UPDATE Issue 83 November / December 2019 FOR ALL WSF REGIONAL & NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Presidents, WSF Commission Members, Stakeholders, PSA members, SPINs, Media, Accredited Products and Companies CAPE TOWN HOSTS SUCCESSFUL AGM The World Squash Federation Annual General Meeting took place on 6 November in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Squash South Africa. The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.

    Sport reporting masterclass with Sonali Shah, BBC Sport and Newsround presenter: transcript Hi, I’m Sonali Shah and you may have seen me presenting on Newsround, Match of the Day Kickabout and for BBC Sport. I’ve been all around the world covering different sporting events, like the Beijing Olympics, the Commonwealth Games in Delhi and the Cricket World Cup. Back here in the UK I’ve been very busy too with stuff like Wimbledon, the Epsom Derby and the London Marathon. Here are my sport reporting tips: (clips of Sonali on location at various sporting events) TIP 1: Do your homework. I think the most important thing is do your homework, do your preparation. And it can be done in three bits. First of all read up on the athlete, the participant, the competitor; then you’ve got to read up about the sport. So when I went to the Cricket World Cup I did my research not only in how all the teams did in one-day cricket, but Test cricket too just so that you’ve got a good rounded picture. And then the third thing is you’ve got to read up on the event, so with the Cricket World Cup I reminded myself of how well everyone did at the previous event four years ago. Now you don’t have to know everything but make little notes on cards about interesting facts and then you’ll be well prepared. TIP 2: Know your audience Know your audience, know who’s going to be watching your reports so if it’s going to be your local football club, you don’t need to explain the rules to them.
