The International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach recently sat down with CMG’s Zou Yun to discuss China’s significant contributions to the Olympic movement and the prospects for future collaboration.
Over the past 12 years, China has hosted a series of major sporting events that have captured the world’s attention. From the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games to the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, the Chengdu World University Games, and the Hangzhou Asian Games, China’s commitment to sports and international cooperation has been on full display. This month, the Asian Winter Games held in Harbin further showcased the nation’s dedication to advancing athletic excellence.
“China has been an invaluable partner in promoting the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect,” said Bach. “The facilities and hospitality provided during these events have set new standards for future hosts.”
When asked about how the IOC and China can deepen their cooperation, Bach emphasized the importance of youth engagement. “We are looking to inspire the next generation of athletes and fans, not just in China, but across the globe,” he stated. “By working together on initiatives that promote sports education and accessibility, we can foster a healthier, more connected world.”
Bach also highlighted the role of technology and innovation in sports. “China’s advancements in technology have the potential to revolutionize how we experience the Olympic Games,” he noted. “From virtual reality to sustainable infrastructure, there are numerous areas where our collaboration can benefit the international community.”
The interview underscored the mutual admiration and shared goals between the IOC and China. As the nation continues to play a pivotal role on the international stage, both parties are optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead.
“Our partnership with China is stronger than ever,” Bach concluded. “Together, we can continue to promote peace and unity through the power of sports.”
