Olympiakomitea, also known as the Olympic Committee, is the governing body of the Olympic Movement. It was established in 1894 by Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator and historian, to oversee the organization of the modern Olympic Games. The committee is responsible for promoting Olympic values, such as excellence, friendship, and respect, and for ensuring the integrity and fairness of the Games.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the most well-known of the various national Olympic committees. It is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, and is composed of representatives from each of the National Olympic Committees (NOCs). The IOC is responsible for selecting the host city for the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, as well as overseeing the organization of the Games.

National Olympic Committees are responsible for promoting the Olympic Movement within their respective countries. They are responsible for selecting athletes to represent their country at the Games, as well as for organizing and hosting international sporting events within their country. The NOCs are also responsible for ensuring that the Olympic values are upheld within their country.

The Olympic Committee plays a crucial role in the Olympic Movement, ensuring that the Games are conducted in a fair and transparent manner, and that the Olympic values are upheld by all participants. It is through the efforts of the Olympic Committee that the Olympic Games have become one of the most prestigious and widely celebrated sporting events in the world.
