UNIQUENESS OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES

What makes the Olympic Games different to any other corporate sponsored sporting event?

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is committed to key policies which address this issue:

  • - No venue advertising is permitted. The Olympic Games are the only major sporting event in the world where there is no advertising in the stadium or on the athletes
  • - Clean telecast by Olympic Games broadcasters
  • - Restricted number of major corporate sponsorships
