The Olympics are the world's foremost international sports competition. This year 88 nations have sent athletes to participate in the spirit of building a better and more peaceful world.
The International Olympic Committee has a charter which states:
"The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity...The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play."
Let's use our position as an Olympic powerhouse to pressure the IOC to uphold its own values.
