The European Olympic Committees (EOC) Executive Committee (ExCom) praised the performance of European National Olympic Committees (NOC) at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 during its fourth meeting of 2024.
The ExCom met in Paros, Greece, on 13 September and President Spyros Capralos congratulated the member NOCs for ensuring that Europe once again won the most medals of any continent, with five of the top 10 NOCs globally from the continent.
Furthermore, the ExCom agreed that Paris 2024 was a great success, particularly noting the full venues and excellent atmosphere generated by the French fans.
In addition to reports from EOC Secretary General Raffaele Pagnozzi and EOC Treasurer Peter Mennel, the latest updates on preparations for the 2025 European Youth Olympic Festivals in Bakuriani, Georgia, and Skopje, North Macedonia were heard.
CEO Dr Jan Lehmann provided the latest update on the European Games 2027 as the EOC continues to work with the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) and Turkish Olympic Committee (TOC) on defining the sports programme for the fourth edition of Europe’s premier multi-sport event.
The ExCom looked forward to the 44th EOC Seminar in Budva, Montenegro later this month, and ANOC Secretary General Gunilla Lindberg spoke ahead of its General Assembly in Cascais, Portugal from 28 October to 2 November.
