Robin Mitchell, the Acting Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) President, has held a virtual meeting with his organisation’s continental leaders and secretary generals to discuss supporting National Olympic Committees (NOCs) during the pandemic.

The discussion centred on how best to ensure the continued collaboration between ANOC and the continental associations on this matter.

High on the agenda was an analysis of the answers received from NOCs to the ANOC questionnaire and how this will inform ANOC’s future work and the development of its strategic plan.

ANOC is currently in the process of identifying how it can advance and adapt the support it provides NOCs given the ongoing pandemic.

There were also reports on the preparations for Tokyo 2020 and this year’s scheduled ANOC meetings in Seoul, where the General Assembly is due to be held on October 26 and 27.

Gunilla Lindberg, the ANOC secretary general, provided an update on the Sport Calendar Working Group and there were discussions on the ANOC Commissions and ANOC budget for the period 2021 to 2024.
