International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry has revealed her vision for the Olympic Movement.
Idman.biz reports that Coventry noted that athletes can inspire others despite the divisions that exist in the modern world.
"I want to be able to give something back to this movement that has given me so much. I want to support athletes both on their journey and beyond. I want us as partners to work together to ensure that the Games remain relevant and continue to inspire, especially in a world that is so divided. After all, it is the athletes who showcase the best of humanity to the world.
That's what we love - the stories about triumph, failure and rising, how they rise again, how resilient they are. They embody the best of how we should be every day," - "NBC Sports" quotes Coventry.
