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 Newsletter No. 192 May 2019 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, Following a terrific edition of the Games of the Small States of Europe, expertly hosted for the first time by our Montenegrin friends in May, the stage is now set for Europe’s premier multi- sport event: The European Games Minsk 2019. We expect a great 2nd edition of our Games, with some 4,000 of the continent’s best athletes competing in 15 sports, eight of which will offer qualifying for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. The hosts have been busy putting the final touches on preparations for the Games, which will be the largest event ever held in Belarus. We firmly believe in the sport capacity of Belarus and the Minsk European Games Organising Committee (MEGOC), and we are confident this edition of the Games will help us solidify our continent’s standing as the strongest in world sport. Athletes and officials from all 50 European National Olympic Committees are set to take part in the Games, creating the perfect platform for people from across the continent to become better acquainted with Belarus and vice versa. Our hosts have done an excellent job ensuring that all visitors will be well taken care of during the Games, and we look forward to a friendly and welcoming stay in the Belarusian capital. This includes the wonderful refurbishment of the local university dormitories into the Athletes’ Village, which is one of the best we have seen. First-time visitors may be surprised at how clean and modern the city of Minsk is, not to mention the world-class sporting infrastructure it possesses.

    2019 / 2020 Annual Performance Plan

    FOREWORD BY THE MINISTER Sport is a significant part of any nation’s culture, health, education, economy and social upliftment, and South Africa is no exception. It touches people at an emotional and personal level that gives meaning to everyday lives. Due to its profile, sport enjoys immense media attention and captures the hearts of our nation. It appeals to people from all walks of life – from the most remote village where people gather around an open field to watch a local soccer game, to mega international events hosted in our world class sport stadia. The impact of sport, in all its facets, places a considerable responsibility on the national Department to ensure that sport and recreation from a national perspective are administered and governed in the best interests of all participants and stakeholders. A few generations ago, physical activity was an integral part of daily life. Unfortunately, in the name of progress, we have chipped away at it so thoroughly that physical inactivity actually seems normal. Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) are making it a priority to break the cycles of inactivity where they are already deeply entrenched, and prevent them in our emerging economy while we still have time. In the best interest of our country, and to assist with the achievement of the 2030 sustainable development goals, we need to create early positive experiences for children and to integrate physical activity into everyday life. Special emphasis is being placed on the youth. The benefits of participation are immeasurable and the Department is committed to supporting a variety of implementation modalities to encourage and support inclusive participation to capitalise on this.
