COVID-19 IMPACT ON THE OLYMPIC GAMES
AISTS SEMINAR ON REORGANISING TOKYO 2020
Are you interested to learn more about the operational impact of postponing the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020? In a recent session organised by The International Academy of Sports Science and Technology (AISTS), Pierre Ducrey, Olympic Games Operations Director of the IOC, speaks about how the IOC and Tokyo 2020 are addressing the reorganisation, from the set-up of the working structures to how the organisations are exploring opportunities to optimise and streamline the Games’ scope and service levels in order to reduce the impacts of the postponement. You can access it here. This event built on a first session held in May with Christophe Dubi, Olympic Games Executive Director, which provided a unique opportunity to learn about the process behind the decision to postpone and the work being done by the IOC, the Organising Committee and the entire Olympic Community to reorganise for next year. Find it here.
MEDIA OPERATIONS AT SPORTS EVENTS POST-COVID-19
The forced hiatus in the running of sports events across the world has also led to a reflection on how media working at sports events might have to adjust to new practices. Lucia Montanarella, Head of Olympic Games Media Operations at the IOC, took part in an online discussion with SportWorks about media operations at major sports events in the post-COVID-19 era, and raised ideas on how to deliver facilities and services to create the best coverage of the Olympic Games.
