President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach speaking at the Smart Cities and Sports Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland, announced the important mission of sport during the pandemic.
— After so many online conferences, I am happy to have the opportunity to meet you in person. The meeting in Lausanne brings back excellent memories of the Winter Youth Olympic Games. We didn’t think these would be the last Games of the pre-pandemic era. With the pandemic, our world has changed dramatically.
The IOC is founded on the belief that we can make the world a better place through sport. We need it more than ever as a force for good. The pandemic has shown how important sport is for physical and mental health. Sport can save lives.
After all, when people lead healthy and active lives, society as a whole also benefits. In addition to health, it has a strong social meaning, it creates jobs,” Bach quotes Inside the Games.
