olympialiittojen

Olympialiittojen refers to the international federation of national Olympic committees (NOCs) that govern the Olympic Games. Established in 1894, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the central body of Olympialiittojen, responsible for overseeing the organization and conduct of the Olympic Games. The IOC is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and its president is the highest-ranking official in the Olympic movement.

The IOC is composed of representatives from each NOC, which are the national organizations responsible for promoting and organizing Olympic activities within their respective countries. These committees are responsible for selecting athletes, managing sports federations, and ensuring the integrity of the Olympic Games.

Olympialiittojen also includes other international sports federations and non-governmental organizations that work in collaboration with the IOC to promote sports and physical activity worldwide. These organizations share the IOC's mission of fostering global unity through sport and promoting the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect.

The IOC's responsibilities extend beyond the Olympic Games, as it also oversees the organization of the Paralympic Games, Youth Olympic Games, and other international sporting events. Additionally, the IOC works to promote sports development, education, and health initiatives globally, aiming to create a more peaceful and sustainable world through the power of sport.
