These secret societies by the IOC and its oppressive contracts – how can you trust them at all yet? Against this in the public perception gradually caging image the International Olympic Committee has actually done something on Monday. The contracts with the host locations for the Olympic Games will be published in the future, and the application costs of the games are to be reduced. This has in Monte Carlo as well as decided permission for country- and city-wide games the committee.
Taken these resolutions were unanimously. Not only because the session could go down as reform event in the history of the IOC on Monday and Tuesday. With 40 measures the IOC will evolve and the games will be forced to the process of IOC President Thomas Bach, who at the beginning of the event said. “Now is the time for change”
The IOC Messages come at any rate, including Transparency International. “Disclosure of the host city contract is a very important step, a symbol of trustworthiness. It means that we have nothing to hide, “said Sylvia Schenk, who heads the Working Group on Sport of Transparency International Germany. Without such disclosure could there be conflicts with some candidate city. Hamburg about having a transparency law and would in any case have to push for a publication of the agreements with the IOC
Olympic Games. Discharge is to be no longer bound to a town
In order less sports facilities build that are no longer used after the Games, the IOC now allows “the discharge of whole or individual sports disciplines outside the host city or in exceptional cases outside the country.” As Thomas Bach had recently declared the games to be characterized but not fragmented, “The unity of time, place and action must be like in a Greek drama not change.” It will therefore continue to be a main organizer and a central Olympic Village. “We do not want games that are scattered over the whole country and can only be seen on television as an event,” Bach said.
But the new rules allow more flexibility. Hamburg, for example would not need expensive canoe slalom course and could instead competitions in the Saxon Markham unsubscribe or decisions in track cycling in Bremen. Berlin, the other German candidate, though has already more sports facilities, but could also benefit from the Decision and access for example in ball sports on arenas in the eastern states.
The IOC recommended Pyeongchang, the bobsled and discharge sledge race outside of South Korea
An example of how the costs can be saved, the IOC has also been given, in which it 2018 recommended to the organizers of the Winter Games in Pyeongchang, discharge the bobsled and luge competition outside of South Korea , Thus, the organizing committee could save $ 120 million. A double application of two cities is not intended as before. Overall, Sylvia Schenk evaluates the new flexibility than good measure. “This opens another new opportunities. Last yes only old established or newly affluent cities came into question. “
In the two German candidate cities which decisions were also good. Hamburg sports Senator Michael Neumann said: “The decisions show that the IOC is really serious about reform. . Away from gigantism, towards sustainability, cost awareness and adaptation of the Games to the host city “And that would mean for his city:” These reforms are the Hamburger application concept for the Olympic and Paralympic games against very “
Not otherwise. it is seen in the Berlin Senate. “It is good that now more flexibility and transparency can be seen,” said Senate spokesman Richard Meng. “The Olympic Games can only hold in democracies, when producing a clear ground. Insofar as these steps are the prerequisite that advertises a German city. “For the perception of Olympia, the IOC has not done anything on Monday and set up its own television channel. He is first set up on the Internet and should help the Olympic sports in the world to pay more attention. (with AP)
