Through competitions at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the International Olympic Committee wishes to gain a new confirmation of unity and solidarity of the global sports family in times burdened with the pandemic. This is exactly what the supplemented Olympic postulate suggests: faster, more, stronger - together. I wish all the athletes successful performances in the atmosphere of sports chivalry, fair play and mutual respect.
