The Ceremony took place ahead of the Youth Olympic Games, which will see the first sport programme with complete gender equality, a 50-50 balance, with the same number of girls and boys competing in the same number of sports and events. Introduced in 2000, the IOC Women and Sport Awards are given to women, men or organisations who have made remarkable contributions to the development, encouragement and reinforcement of women through sport. One World Trophy and five Continental Trophies are awarded every year. Turkish Eczacibasi Sports Club is awarded the World Trophy for being sporting pioneers in their country. It was founded in 1966, at a time when the idea of women participating in a male-dominated world was not readily embraced by Turkish society. Yet Eczacibasi Sports Club has since achieved near gender equality in its administration and grown women’s volleyball to have thousands of members and millions of followers, winning a record 28 national championships, World and European titles and investing in the female players of tomorrow.

By way of introduction, the club has operated continuously since 1957 and at over 1800 members is the largest ski club in the province and has hosted the cross country ski national championships five times. The club has over 250 athletes in skill development programs with a contingent of 50 volunteer coaches, has a school ski program that hosted over 2500 students from SD 57 schools this season, offers CANSI ski lessons and rentals to the public, and maintains 50 kilometers of ski trails for all level of skiers – all within city limits.

  • Winsport Statement on the Passing of Frank King
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 10, 2018 WinSport statement on the passing of Frank King CALGARY, Alta. – The entire team at WinSport is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Frank King. Frank meant so much to WinSport and the city of Calgary for his commitment and passion toward community and sport. As chairman of the Calgary Olympic Development Association (CODA) during the bid phase and chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee (OCO ’88), Frank was instrumental in bringing the 1988 Winter Olympics to our great city, which is something Calgarians in present day and those of future generations will continue to enjoy. Frank said it best in his book It’s how you play the game: “The inspiration of the Calgary Olympics will endure long after the Olympic flame has been extinguished. Canadians of all ages will use and enjoy superb Olympic facilities for years into the future. The Olympics will be more than an immediate benefit. The games will provide a heritage for our children.” Frank couldn’t have been more right. The ’88 Games were certainly something that so many Calgarians have benefited from – WinSport at Canada Olympic Park would not be here helping hundreds of thousands of Calgarians participate in sport every year if it were not for Frank’s relentless effort to bring the Games to our city. Frank is an inspiration to all of us and he will not be forgotten. He was a generous, humble leader who always looked to ensure that everyone he worked with grew and prospered. His efforts and passion have left an indelible mark on the city of Calgary.

  • Winsport Becomes Fan Central for Pyeongchang with Events and Special Pricing
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 7, 2018 WinSport becomes fan central for Pyeongchang with events and special pricing CALGARY, Alta. – Thirty years ago, Calgary threw the biggest party in the city’s history. Now it’s WinSport’s turn to throw an Olympic-sized party in celebration of our 30th Anniversary and the start of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. WinSport is excited to be Calgary’s Olympic central, with the opening of the Cheer on Canada House in the Frank King Day Lodge and Cheer on Canada Place in the Markin MacPhail Centre on Friday. In addition, WinSport will host two weeks of events – culminating in a free Calgary ’88 Anniversary Party – and special Calgary ’88 pricing for the rest of the winter season. Of course, all the action from South Korea will be playing on our TVs. “The 1988 Calgary Winter Games were one of the best in Olympic history. At WinSport, we are proud to be a hub in the Calgary community three decades after the flame was extinguished, says WinSport President and CEO Barry Heck. “Whether it’s people of all ages learning to ski or snowboard, developing athletes, or athletes representing Canada on the world stage in the next two weeks, it’s evident our Olympic legacy is stronger than ever.” Of the 225 athletes the Canadian Olympic Committee is sending to Pyeongchang, 171 of them have either trained or competed at WinSport’s facilities at Canada Olympic Park or at the Bill Warren Training Centre in Canmore. “Providing our athletes access to WinSport’s world-leading facilities and resources has played a significant role for most of the Canadian team as they strive to bring home gold.
