Good accounts make good friends. And those of the IOC are in the green. "Given the revenues already guaranteed for the next two Olympics and the many projects underway, the outlook is extremely positive », Thomas Bach said in his New Year's wishes. The entire community should benefit from this, since a substantial portion of the IOC's revenue is redistributed. "The IOC supports the fair and just development of sport throughout the world, insists the president of the body, who will leave his seat in a few months. For the Olympiad that is ending, we will distribute 6,8 billion US dollars to the Olympic community. In other words, every day of the year, $4,7 million is dedicated to supporting athletes and the fair and equitable development of sport around the world.” Around 90% of the IOC's revenues are redirected to the Olympic community. This distribution helps finance thousands of sports, educational and social projects in more than 200 countries. "It is expected that the amount distributed during this 2025-2028 Olympiad will increase further, adds Thomas Bach. For our Olympic movement, money is just a tool for solidarity– a tool that helps to reduce inequalities in this world.”
