On the one hand, your young athletes once again did our continent proud, winning the lion’s share of the medals and sending a clear message that Europe’s future on the Olympic stage is in good hands. But on the other, the untimely passing of our dear friend and colleague Patrick Baumann was a terrible shock and the hole it has left in the Olympic Movement will be a difficult one to fill. On behalf of all of us at the EOC, and the Olympic Movement throughout Europe, I offer my sincere condolences to everyone affected, in particular his wife and children. He will be profoundly missed. It is difficult to transition into a more lighthearted topic after that, but I am sure Patrick would have wanted us all to continue promoting sport and the Olympic values with the same amount of passion or possibly even more now that he is gone. So with that, I would like to congratulate all the ENOCs and their athletes for their hard work, dedication and success in Argentina. In the end, the Russian Federation topped the standings with 59 medals, led by swimmers Kliment Kolesnikov and Andrei Minakov, who each won six golds and one silver.

  • EOC PRESIDENT EOC Newsletter
    EOC Newsletter No. 201 April 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, The value of staying connected while isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be understated. I am pleased to report that, following our first EOC Executive Committee meeting held by teleconference this month, the Olympic Movement of Europe is as close and interconnected as ever. Our day-to-day business, while certainly altered by the crisis, nevertheless continues unabated. There is nothing we were doing before the pandemic that we are not doing now in terms of our daily operations, and my sincere appreciation goes out to all the staff and administration at sports organisations across Europe for the excellent work you are doing in this regard. Staying connected and sharing best practices was one of the goals of our recent survey of the 50 European National Olympic Committees, which you can read more about in this newsletter and on the EOC website. The survey has allowed us to monitor and evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on sports around the continent. While the situation from country to country differs greatly depending on the local impact of coronavirus and other factors, two problems are universal: a lack of income due to the absence of sports events and limited access to sports facilities for elite athletes. Respondents provided us with a number of best practices, in particular with regard to assisting top athletes with their training routines, and I call on our ENOCs to continue sharing such knowledge for the benefit of all sports bodies in Europe. The COVID-19 pandemic is gradually improving, and we are finally seeing some liberalisation in terms of sanctioned sports activities.
