ANOC Athletes’ Commission Thank you Mr President – I am delighted to report on the ANOC athletes commission over this last year ANOC Athletes’ Commission Tokyo 2018

ANOC Athletes Commission – Terms of Reference, updated 2018 Governance Documents for adoption Athletes Declaration ANOC Athletes Commission – Terms of Reference, updated 2018 ANOC Continental Athletes Commission Guidelines, updated 2018 IOC/NOC guidelines for forming an NOC Athletes Commission It has been a very busy year with the Olympic Movement being challenged in many area’s so we knew as a commission it was very important to get all our governance documents in place to ensure that in the next few years our Continental Athlete Commissions were recognised, legitmate and democratized and that all Olympic Movement Athlete Commissions were aiming towards best practic governance. These 4 document we hope to be adopted by the general assembly today so we can continue being the recognised voice of all Athletes.

Kirsty has already talked to you about the Athletes Declaration I would just like to highlight a couple of points The declaration was created for all athletes by athletes to benefit all athletes not just Olympic Athletes . 4292 athletes from 190 countries 120 sport disciplines. it’s a frame work to start a discussion around athlete issues. Important as a base document when we start to deal with what is happening in our world and athletes aren’t being able to compete in other countries Fundemental right to be able to compete Practise sport and compete without being subject to discrimination on the basis of race, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, language political or other opinion national or social origin property birth or other immutable status Second issue unionisation of athletes – this is just a small % of athletes but it also highlights the importance and implementation of this document for ALL athletes to show the Olympic Movement is working with legitimate properly recognised and governed AC’s
