AOC CEO Matt Carroll announced yesterday that due to the unprecedented effects of COVID-19, the Australian Olympic Committee would not be fielding a Team for Tokyo 2020, and the support of athletes, National Federations and fans alike embodied the true meaning of the Olympic Spirit.
The Australian Olympic Committee acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of all the lands on which we are located. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present.
We celebrate and honour all of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Olympians.
The Australian Olympic Committee is committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society and sport.
