On June 30, the Russian Olympic Committee held a meeting of the ROC Athletes’ Commission, chaired by Sofya Velikaya. The session was held online.

This year, the traditional annual holiday will be held primarily online and will be accessible to sports enthusiasts around the world.

If there is one positive to be taken from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is that it has brought people together. The athlete community has been no exception, and several athletes’ commissions have been working round the clock to make sure that their athletes are supported during this tough time. The Russian Athletes’ Commission (AC) has been one of the most proactive, and its Vice-Chair, Lada Zadonskaya, has shared with Athlete365 some of its initiatives from the last few months.

The Russian Olympic Committee has launched a campaign on social media to support the International Olympic Committee’s #StayStrong #StayActive #StayHealthy special Olympic Day workout event. The Russian Olympic Committee’s campaign involves festive events dedicated to International Olympic Day set to be celebrated on June 23, 2020 online.
