    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.

    EOC Newsletter No. 193 June 2019 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, Allow me to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for contributing to the success of the 2nd European Games Minsk 2019, which I am sure you will agree was an excellent competition that far surpassed our expectations. Athletes from all 50 of our European National Olympic Committees competed in Minsk, the smallest delegation being Liechtenstein with one athlete, and the largest being Russia with 224. In total, 43 countries returned home with at least one medal. We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from all stakeholders, in particular the athletes, who said they were impressed with the state-of-the-art venues, the excellent conditions at the Athletes’ Village and the overall organisation of the Games. Our gratitude must be extended to our friends at the Minsk European Games Organising Committee for their dedication to the European Games project and the quality of their work in the lead up to and during the event. I would also like to thank EOC Coordination Commission Chair Spyros Capralos, who deservedly became an IOC Member during the Games, for his unwavering support and invaluable advice from the moment he and the rest of the Commission were named. It is thanks to their efforts that our athletes could focus all their energies on what mattered most – the competition. As a result, we were treated to some amazing athletic achievements in Minsk. Some set personal bests, others were crowned European champions, while a good number also booked their tickets to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

  • Bump, Set, Spike”
    2016 NATIONAL SPORTS LAW NEGOTIATION COMPETITION ROUND TWO “Bump, Set, Spike” GENERAL FACTS FOR BOTH TEAMS The 2017 ANOC World Beach Games (“World Beach Games” or “Games”) will be a sporting event that will engage and inspire fans through beach sports, entertainment, and an innovative social media and digital engagement platform. The Games will be an unprecedented opportunity for virtually every citizen of the world to participate and celebrate the spirit and ideals of the Olympic Games through a groundbreaking global event blending beach sports, active lifestyles, urban culture, and online media. The Games will consist of twenty-two non-Olympic style sports including, but not limited to: Beach Badminton, Beach Handball, Beach Soccer, Beach Tennis, Beach Volleyball, BMX riding, Flying Disc, Marathon Swimming, Stand Up Paddle Racing, Surfing, and Wake Boarding. An estimated 3,500 to 5,000 athletes from 206 countries will participate in the events over a ten-day period that will draw an estimated 100,000 spectators, daily. The Association of the National Olympic Committee (ANOC pronounced ‘a-knock’) selected the city of San Diego (“City”) as the host city for the inaugural games. The Games were originally scheduled to start on September 29, 2017 and finish on October 9, 2017, but due to timing and budgetary issues the Games have been postponed for two-years to 2019. Both parties mutually agreed to delay the Games for reasons directly related to its $150 million USD budgetary scheme and the projected success of the event. Based on the two-year extension, it is imperative to the success of the event to finalize and ensure all obligations outlined, including the roles, responsibilities, and financial contributions designated to both parties.
