Olympic Agenda 2020 26/11/2014

Olympic Agenda 2020 © IOC Last week in Lausanne, SUI, IOC President Thomas Bach first presented a set of 40 (20+20) recommendations making up the Olympic Agenda 2020 to a round table of athletes.  Many of them had actively contributed to the year-long process that aimed at establishing a roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement.

During the public launch of the recommendations at The Olympic Museum in Lausanne, President Bach called the 20+20 proposals “the culmination of a year of open, transparent and widespread debate and discussion, which had already begun in mid-2013.”

“These 40 recommendations are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle,” he added. “When you put them together, a picture emerges that shows the IOC safeguarding the uniqueness of the Olympic Games and strengthening sport in society.”

DanceSport has been on the programme of The World Games since 1997 and excelled in many was during the most recent editions.
