  • 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.

  • The Rio Review the Official Report Into Ireland's Campaign for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games
    SPÓRT ÉIREANN SPORT IRELAND The Rio Review The official report into Ireland's campaign for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games RIO 2016 REVIEW Foreword The Olympic and Paralympic review process is an essential component of the Irish high performance system. The implementation of the recommendations of the quadrennial reviews has been a driver of Irish high performance programmes for individual sports and the system as a whole. The Rio Review process has been comprehensive and robust. The critical feature of this Review is that the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) took a greater level of control in debriefing their own experiences. This Review reflects the views of all the key players within the high performance system. Endorsed by Sport Ireland, it is a mandate for the NGBs to fully implement the recommendations that will improve the high performance system in Ireland. There were outstanding performances in Rio at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Olympic roll of honour received a new addition in Rowing, with Sailing repeating its podium success achieved in Moscow 1980, demonstrating Ireland's ability to be competitive in multiple disciplines. Team Ireland has built on the success of Beijing and London, and notwithstanding problems that arose, Rio was a clear demonstration that Ireland can compete at the very highest levels of international sport. Sport Ireland is committed to the ongoing development of the Sport Ireland Institute and adding to the extensive facilities on the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus. These are real commitments to high performance sport in Ireland that will make a significant difference to Irish athletes who aspire to compete at the top level.

For the record, Gwyllym won with 22:11.7 (a PB of 1:34) and Corey was second with 22:13.8 (a PB of 1:21).

Sloshing through the puddles and almost lost in the heavy sheets of rain, the U18 boys showed strength and resilience that belied their age. The contrast could not be greater. Corey has had 33 races this year and had set PB after PB as the year has progressed, culminating in his 10km best of 46:58 at Fawkner Park last weekend. Gwyllym had recorded only 5 RWA walking races this year and had not competed over any significant distance since 21st July. But they both produced the goods when it counted most.
