Olümpiakomiteede

Olümpiakomiteede, also known as the Olympic Committee, is the governing body of the Olympic Movement. It is responsible for overseeing the organization and administration of the Olympic Games, including the Summer and Winter Olympics. The Olympic Committee is composed of members from the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of each participating country. The International Olympic Committee (IOC), based in Lausanne, Switzerland, is the most prominent example of an Olympic Committee.

The primary functions of the Olympic Committee include:

1. Ensuring the fair and ethical conduct of the Olympic Games.

2. Promoting the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect.

3. Managing the financial aspects of the Olympic Games.

4. Coordinating the various aspects of the Games, such as sports, venues, and media.

5. Maintaining the Olympic Charter, which outlines the rules and principles of the Olympic Movement.

The Olympic Committee also plays a crucial role in the development of sport at the grassroots level, supporting initiatives that encourage physical activity and healthy lifestyles. It works closely with the International Federations (IFs) of each sport to ensure that the Olympic Games feature the best athletes and the highest standards of competition.

The Olympic Committee is dedicated to fostering a global community that transcends borders and cultures, bringing people together through the shared experience of the Olympic Games. It continues to evolve, adapting to the changing landscape of sport and society, while remaining committed to the core principles that define the Olympic Movement.
