I believe it is an effective way to promote our disciplines and therefore always seize these numerous opportunities to serve the ICF’s best interests. Ensuring canoe’s position in the program of major multisport events I have the chance to strengthen the position of canoeing, in cooperation with ICF members, in some major past and upcoming regional or world competitions like: The European Olympic Games – Baku 2015 The SEA (South East Asian) Games – Kuala Lumpur 2017 The ANOC World Beach Games: Ocean-Racing was confirmed in the program (end of October 2016) – San Diego 2019 The 2019 Pan American Games – Lima 2019 The Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games, in accordance with the recommendations of the IOC’s “AGENDA 2020” – Rio 2016, Buenos Aires 2018, Tokyo 2020 Strengthening our links with the Olympic family Furthermore, I am able, in cooperation with our President, Mr Jose PERURENA, to interact with the Olympic family (IOC members, staff…) about canoeing-related subjects and show them how rich and appealing our sport is. IOC President Mr. Thomas Bach, with ICF President Mr. José Perurena and myself Page 3 sur 11 For instance, many of them attended our main championships and/or Olympic and Paralympic events during the last two years. Others even experienced canoeing themselves, like HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and members of the IOC Athletes’ Commission who tried rafting in the Deodoro Whitewater Park during the Games in Rio. Being close to the Olympic movement can contribute to promoting our sport’s development. For instance, my position within the IOC Olympic Solidarity Commission gives us an accurate understanding of their processes and hereby helps us to better meet their requirements. Page 4 sur 11 3 Experience sharing with our athletes As a former athlete and current member of the IOC Athletes’ Commission, I remain personally attached to the athletes’ experience, always making sure that their vision is taken into account in all matters. During this period, I closely worked together with the athlete’s family at various occasions, such as: IOC 7th athletes’ forum with the presence of Benjamin BOUKPETI (TOG) and Henriette Engel HANSEN (DAN) Meetings with some members of the ICF Athletes’ Commission Supporting ICF athletes’ global meeting in Pau (2015) TIP and “Expand Extend Women canoeing” athletes meeting during each World Cup in Pau: two great moments of open discussions about careers in sports and performance, studies and high-level-performance training… https://youtu.be/VU869XCloU8 Supporting clean athletes: Thanks to my position as a member of the WADA Executive committee, Foundation board, and Athletes Committee, I can help to support clean athletes by contributing to the creation of effective anti-doping programs. Page 5 sur 11 4 Building an efficient communication strategy and contributing to the future of canoe Increasing our sports’ visibility and attractiveness around the world is and should remain a priority. For the past two years, I worked on the following aspects: Better showcasing our events I worked with the Olympic Broadcasting Services to identify what could improve the viewers’ experience. One of the tests was to install a tiny on- board camera on each athlete during canoe slalom competitions with a wireless live transmission. I supported the Canoe Slalom Committee on improving our sport’s presentation on Slalom events, for instance by: by broadcasting biographies of our athletes optimising “kiss & cry zone” developing a new system of gates to improve judging’s presentation With some world cup organizers, we organised a brainstorming on how to better showcase our events. It was very insightful to share our best experiences. I also tried to invest durably some French TV broadcasters in our sport like FRANCE TV or L’EQUIPE 21. As a first step, last year, L’EQUIPE 21 broadcasted more than 15 hours of live coverage for World Cup events (canoe slalom, canoe sprint and paracanoe). Page 6 sur 11 Working for the legacy of the Deodoro Whitewater Park In November 2016, I met the Mayor of Rio Mr. Eduardo PAES and proposed to him to experience rafting on the brand new Deodoro Whitewater Park. It was a great opportunity to work on the long-term legacy that the venue would leave to the Brazilian NF as well as to the local inhabitants. We met again with Mr. Eduardo PAES and the President of the Brazilian NOC - Mr Carlos Arthur NUZMAN - during the Games and discussed this topic further. Page 7 sur 11 Appendix Report # 1 – ICF Board of Directors MARRAKESH – March 2015 Report Board of Directors Meeting Marrakesh, Morocco 21-22 March 2015 Name of the BOD Member: Tony ESTANGUET Function: 3rd Vice President 1. Meetings since last Board Meeting ICF TV coverage: Several meetings with “Olympic Broadcasting Services” (OBS): o Madrid – 11th November 2014 o Pau - 30 th January 2015 o Conference Call – 16th March 2015 IOC family : Meetings with IOC Sport Department, IOC Olympic Games Department, IOC Olympic Solidarity Canoeing family : o Qatar NF – 25th January 2015 o OCA Secretary General – 12th March 2015 2. Tasks undertaken for this period Explore possible improvements for Olympic slalom coverage for RIO 2016 & beyond Support the ICF Headquarter to define ICF Communication strategy Support ICF committees and their stakeholders to define ICF development program Work on YOG format for the future 3. Issues and Main Points of Report Summary of OBS discussion: share the project of broadcasting the RIO2016 games. Improve the START and the Finish Line coverage and imagine & test a possibility of having cameras closer to the athletes. Better explain our obligations and rules and try to understand the added value of having cameras in the athlete action. 4. Future Initiatives and Tasks Continue tasks define at point #2. Discussion with the ICF President to define my tasks within the ICF as ExCo member 5. Recommendations Appendix Report # 2 – ICF Board of Directors CAPE TOWN – November 2015 Report Always moving forward ICF Board of Directors, Cape Town, South Africa, 9 – 12 December 2015 Name: Tony ESTANGUET ICF Position: 3rd Vice-President 1. Visits and Meetings since last Board Meeting Jury Member: 2015 ICF Wildwater Canoeing Sprint Senior World Championships – Vienna 2015 ICF Canoe Sprint Senior World Championships – Milan 2015 ICF Canoe Slalom Senior World Championships – London 2015 ICF Canoe Slalom Final World Cup – Pau For the jury, there was no need to meet during these competitions. All the ICF committees worked very hard to ensure a good competition without any problems. Marketing aspects: The ICF supplier “TRIDEM SPORTS” was in Pau during the ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup. We had two meetings together. TRIDEM SPORTS made a proposal to EDF, French company, about the ICF marketing strategy. Then, we had an exchange with EDF to consider avenues for cooperation between EDF and ICF. Informal Meeting with TRIDEM SPORTS : TRIDEM SPORTS presented a full marketing strategy and proposed the potential partnerships they had in mind. Personal questioning: I believe in a separate sponsoring approach among ICF disciplines. I also believe that we should work closely with organising committees to make sure we could associate effectively ICF potential sponsors. Athletes’ aspects: 1. Experience sharing with TIP athletes in PAU (France) During the ICF World Cup in Pau, I took the opportunity to meet the TIP athletes (24 athletes, 5 coaches, 14 nations, 4 continents). The meeting was an interactive and friendly moment around the following subjects: Sport career and performance experience; Double project: studies & high-level-performance training; Experiences and tasks in the Olympic movement; The exchange was based on questions prepared by athletes. I would like to thank the coaches of the ICF development program involved in this meeting lead by Pierrick GOSSELIN for the great job they did to prepare it.
