The warming climate must be the maximum priority, and the Olympion urges the hope of the Presidency the International Olympic Committee for Presidential Hope

Philip Marquis, the Canadian skier in Philip Marquise, was at home in the mountains, and his stadium is a postal cap of snow -covered.

But Olympia twice saw the place where he loves change over his time in sports, all because of the warming climate. Less than a decade ago, he was training in the summer months of ice Horstmann in Wesler. no more. The ice mountain was closed in front of summer skiing and ice skiing last year due to a lack of snow.

Now, Marquis said that a coach in the Nextgen program in Canada in Moguls, said that athletes were forced to rely on the snow that made human being, which is more difficult and more than the natural powder and can be difficult for the athletes’ bodies. Tables in a mixer were put up with weather changes, however, Marquis said that the cost of competition has increased.

“Seeing changes around the world is something I am afraid of, which really affects me and the sport that I love strongly,” said Marquis, who chairs the Canadian Olympic Committee, in an interview with CBC SPORTS.

He is one of more than 400 athletes all over the world who signed a message to the candidates competing to become the head of the new International Olympic Committee (IOC), and urged them to make the climate their first priority.

Members of the International Olympic Committee from all over the world will meet in Greece next week for the IOC session, where they will elect a new president among seven candidates. The candidates made their case unilaterally for members in a closed event in Switzerland In January, with only 15 minutes each to put their vision.

Some emphasized the climate more than others on their public platforms: Johan Elias, President of the International Ski Entry Federation, described climate change as an “existential threat” of the Winter Olympic Games and has rotated these games between permanent places as a sustainable option.

Meanwhile, World Athletics Chairman Sebastian Co, one of the contestants at the forefront, notes that climate change challenges his platform and undertakes to “include ambitious environmental goals in every aspect of games, and setting new criteria for sustainability and green innovation in sport”, but he does not explain those goals or how he will achieve. Ko said that climate change may eventually be imposed Summer Olympics to winter calendar.

The winner will replace Thomas Bach, who has ruled the largest sports organization in the world since 2013, and will be officially in June.

This person will be assigned to direct the Olympic Games through the postpartum world, and move to the challenges ranging from war and political instability to sports integrity and sports safety.

They will also be assigned to keep the relevant games between a younger generation that consumes the media in a completely different way from their parents and grandparents.

((We need) a leader who understands and embodies the positive values ​​of sport, and returns to integrity, good governance, sustainability, financial and environmental, with the progress of a safe and comprehensive sports environment around the world, “said the head of the Canadian Olympics Committee, a member of CBC.

“It is no longer a far threat.”

But it may not be any challenge more than the rugged planet and the ritual weather that comes with it, arguing the athletes who signed the message to the international Olympic Committee candidates. Street Heat makes it difficult to plan for summer games, while fewer places are able to host winter games, due to a lack of snow and snow melting.

“This is no longer a far threat, but rather a current and increasing damage to the sport we love and the countries that make up our Olympic family,” the letter says.

Athletes call for a meeting with the new president, and to strengthen the obligations of the International Olympic Committee to “quickly reduce carbon emissions”. They are also calling the International Olympic Committee to “appoint a standard” when it comes to “highly used care”.

The message includes signatures of more than 125 Olympic flag holders and more than 20 Canadians.

This includes the athletes who won medals in Paris last year, such as Pedler Katy Vincent, Volleyball player Melissa Hemana Birdz, tennis player Gabriella Dabrovsky and weightlifting series Mod Charun, who was one of the media holders in Canada at the opening ceremony in Paris 2024.

About a month ago, Vincent went to a training camp outside San Diego. Her group was forced to find another place to train for a few days when she closed the lake Bloom algae that she was supposed to use.

“They believe that because of the chemicals that entered the soil due to the fighting of fires (Los Angeles), which followed the soil and ended up with the lake,” said Vincent, who became an Olympic champion in the enemy boat in Paris.

The Olympic medal has also witnessed three times the warming temperatures throughout her career, and perhaps the most prominent during the intense heat of the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Vincent said it was some of the most important athletes who managed to do so.

The dangers of fires focus on Los Angeles 2028

The International Olympic Committee pledged to cut off direct and indirect carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2030, as it is in line with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

In Paris, the organizers chose to focus on temporary or existing infrastructure to avoid generating emissions that come with the construction of new facilities. The organizers said that the 2024 summer games reduced the carbon fingerprint of games by more than 54 percent compared to the average in London in 2012 and Rio in 2016.

But Los Angeles is in the spotlight in 2028, and the risk of wildfire on everyone’s mind after the loss of destructive Sharkias in the past fall, which killed nearly 30 people and destroyed thousands of homes and other structures.

Vincent said this is a reminder of the responsibility to make sure it protects the environment, which is why she wants to make sure that it is at the top of IOC’s priority.

“It seemed to be the right time to add my name to that list and help to follow this conversation with IOC.”
