Head of Belarus’ NOC: the experience of 2nd CIS Games will allow Belarus to continue hosting competitions of the highest level
An extended joint meeting of the Athletes’ Commissions of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Belarus and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) is being held in Moscow. During it, the President of the NOC of Belarus, Viktor Lukashenko, said that the experience of hosting the 2nd CIS Games will enable Belarus to continue to host competitions of the highest level – as reported by the NOC in its Telegram channel.
Viktor Lukashenko noted that Belarus tried to make a real holiday for athletes and guests in August, “The whole country was preparing. I personally attended many competitions during the Games, talked with athletes and coaches, and everyone admitted that everything was organised at a high level. Once again I was convinced that Belarusians not only like to hold such tournaments, but also know how to conduct them.”
The Head of the National Olympic Committee assured that it is possible to hold tournaments of the highest level in Belarus.
“Despite sanctions from international federations, during this time we – together with the Russian Olympic Committee – the ministries of sports of Belarus and Russia, managed to build a clear calendar. I’m convinced that together we can organise large-scale competitions of any level.”
