“We have to be very connected in our rights, duties, skills and responsibilities, as well as which paths to follow, always acting ethically in favor of the most important segment of sport and the Olympic Movement – ​​athletes. We need to live these moments to build together and give, even better, our contribution to the sport”, said Yane Marques, bronze medalist in modern pentathlon in London 2012 and president of Brazilian Olympic Committee Athletes’ Commission.

“Brazilian sport is on a path of good administration, of good governance practices that have no setbacks, sharing desires and interests in favor of the development of the Olympic Movement in Brazil with athletes. We are neither above nor below, we are side by side of the athletes. I arrived at BOC with the objective of opening up more space, giving voice to the athletes and this is the practical result”, said the president of Brazilian Olympic Committee, Paulo Wanderley Teixeira.
