I am deeply saddened by the passing of my close colleague and friend, Mr. Andrzej Kraśnicki. His incredible dedication to the Olympic Movement, both through his roles in global sports governance and his unwavering commitment to advancing Polish sports during his long-standing presidency of the Polish Olympic Committee, will always be remembered. My heartfelt condolences to his family, the Polish sports community, and the entire Olympic Movement.
I am deeply sad and mourning the loss of a true friend and colleague, Alex Gilady, who devoted so much of his life to the Olympic Movement. My deepest condolences go out to his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace.
Having witnessed these measures first-hand on my way to and in Beijing, it gives me great confidence in the organisers’ diligence to deliver a safe and successful Games.
The IOC, @Beijing2022, All Partner Task Force members, and the Chinese authorities, with support from WHO and other public health institutions, have put in place a set of robust measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 within the closed-loop operating during the Games.
