Praise from the Ambassador at Large 26/11/2008

Avatar The IOC Honorary President for Life, HE Juan Antonio Samaranch, was one of the catalysts for IDSF starting to adapt its structures and establish new policies. One year after his memorable address to the Barcelona Annual General Meeting of IDSF, the sports leader congratulates the world governing body on reaching the first milestones.

In a foreword to the programme for the IDSF World Youth Standard Championships 2008 in Salou, Spain, Samaranch - who is also the IDSF Ambassador at Large - writes under the headline 'Friends of DanceSport':

"IDSF is an example for a sports organisation which adapts to the requirements of today's world. During my presidency of the International Olympic Committee I had the honour of approving IDSF as a Recognised Federation. Ever since - under the initiative and energy of its President Carlos Freitag - IDSF has taken on new challenges: the recent agreement with the International Paralympic Committee to develop Wheelchair DanceSport jointly, the adapation to the requirements of television, new competitions, etc. I congratulate you on a job well done!"
