On July 22 and 23, the Sports Administration (SA) commissioned the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC) to organize the “Olympic Protocol Training”. Based on the event theme of “Stronger Together” and in coordination with the live webcast, field workers including Olympic gold medalist Mu-Yen Chu, Executive Committee Member Hai-Lun Chi of the Asian Sports Press Association (AIPS) Asia, and frontline workers including CTOC Deputy Secretary-General Hsiao-Tzu Hsu, and Deputy Director Fu-Chi Kao of the International Affairs Department of CTOC shared the current international sports situation, the origin of the Olympic Protocol, trivia at the Olympic Village, and the epidemic control practices of the forthcoming Tokyo 2020.


At the opening ceremony, SA Deputy Director-General Che-Hung Lin mentioned that although many international sports exchanges were prevented by COVID-19, SA will aid sport-related industries and sports associations, by order of priority, with personnel and epidemic control funds, in the hope that the pandemic will settle earlier, and international sports events can be held without disruption as scheduled.
According to CTOC, June 23 is Olympic Day and the anniversary of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). At the event, taekwondo gold medalist at Athens 2004 Mu-Yen Chu was invited to the seminar to help people understand how the sports and Olympic Movements affect the life of athletes, to share his experience in athlete affairs in recent years, communicate the issues discussed at the International Athletes’ Forum (IAF) 2021 that ended this May, and explain the direction to maintain the IOC’s athlete rights.

According to SA, in addition to the acceptance of the IOC, the Lausanne Agreement (commonly called Olympic Protocol) of 1981 has been accepted by various sports associations to protect the rights of Taiwan’s athletes participating in international sports events, global sports associations, and international sports affairs allowing Taiwan to exercise its due diligence in global sports events and ensure Taiwan’s dignity and participation in international sports events. During the pandemic, programs related to either education/training or talent training have been implemented online to ensure uninterrupted learning through real-time interaction and exchange online.
