It's with incredible sadness to hear of the passing of friend & IOC Member, Alex Gilady. His leadership & vision changed the way the world sees the Olympic Movement forever. Thank you, Alex, for your friendship and the amazing legacy you have created.

6 months ago, Trinidad & Tobago's #Bobsled team didn't exist.

At #Beijing2022, @TheAxelBrown & Andre Marcano became their nation's first athletes since Salt Lake City 2002. They finished 28th - a highest ever Olympic Winter Games placing.👏

What a journey!🙌

The #Beijing2022 Opening Ceremony achieved the highest audience reach ever for an Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony – early estimates suggest could be as much as half a billion people.
