More About This Development:
The IOC works with media companies worldwide to ensure that as many people as possible can experience the magic of the Olympic Games. The Olympic media partnerships also contribute valuable revenue that provides the long-term financial security of the Olympic Movement.
The IOC retained just 10 per cent of these revenues, with the rest being distributed to support the staging of the Olympic Games, promote the worldwide development of sport and the Olympic Movement, and assist with the implementation of the Olympic Agenda 2020 and Olympic Agenda 2020+5.
