Olympic Agenda 2020

Agenda 2020 was arguably the Olympic strongest document outlining reforms across all sections of the IOC and the Movement. Its most groundbreaking recommendation is Recommendation 18 which flipped the IOC and its operations to place athletes at the front and centre of the Olympic Games and beyond. This is now extended in the new Agenda 2020+5 in Recommendations 3, 4 and 5.

Recommendation 18

Strengthen support to athletes

  • The IOC to put the athletes’ experience at the heart of the Olympic Games.
  • The IOC to further invest in supporting athletes on and off the field of play.
