EOC PRESIDENT EOC Newsletter 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. In fact, only a single venue being used for the European Games needed to be built from scratch: that for beach soccer, which took only two months to construct. These Games, therefore, have already raised the bar in terms of sustainability. Following the successful inaugural edition of the European Games in Baku in 2015, Minsk 2019 is certain to continue to build on these solid foundations, adding its own unique flavour to the young history of the Games. And with the ensuing election of Krakow, Poland as Host City of the 2023 edition, the future of the European Games is in very good hands. I look forward to seeing you all in Minsk and wish your athletes the very best in their pursuit to be crowned champions of Europe. Best regards, Janez Kocijančič EOC President 1 EOC NEWSLETTER May 2019 EOC EOC Seminar in Vienna gets interactive with top-level panellists The 40th European Olympic Committees (EOC) Seminar, which took place in Vienna from 18-19 May, was of high interest for the European National Olympic Committees (ENOCs).

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.

  • 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.

  • Olympic Channel: Showcasing the Games in the Age of Digital Plenitude
    Olympic Channel: showcasing the Games in the age of digital plenitude Xavier Ramon Pompeu Fabra University (Spain) [email protected] Abstract In the age of multiple viewing portals, the Olympic Games are consumed through a whole plethora of platforms on a global scale, from live television broadcasting to social media. Nevertheless, once the action fades out, mainstream media fails to provide a sustained coverage of the Games in the years between the Olympics. The launch of the Olympic Channel, following the Rio 2016 Closing Ceremony, is a strategic attempt to bridge this gap. This article provides a historical overview of the relationship between the Olympic Games and the media and examines the distinctive proposition offered by the Olympic Channel. This platform takes advantage of the multiple technological advances that have tremendously altered the sports-media nexus to maximize users’ opportunities to access a broader range of Olympic-themed content. Through three core components (TV, Features and Original Series), the Olympic Channel lends opportunities to transcend the nationalized coverage and the lack of diversity often found in mainstream media. The mix of contemporary and archival footage, the promotion of minority disciplines and the provision of unique angles to international sport has the potential to broaden citizens’ knowledge and understanding of the Olympics and its fundamental values.

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.
