ICSSPE welcomes the IOC's decision to appoint Margaret Talbot as Expert to the IOC Culture and Olympic Education Commission.

 

The ICSSPE President considers “it an honour, I think both for me and for ICSSPE" and she looks forward to "working with the IOC Development team, hoping to be able to facilitate links and share work with Paralympic education, and with mainstream education systems.”

 

In addition Vice President Wolfgang Baumann has been re-appointed as an Expert to the Sport for All Commission, while former President Gudrun Doll-Tepper has been re-appointed to the Women and Sport Commission.

 

Wolfgang Baumann welcomes the appointment saying that "Grassroots sport and Sport for All continue to receive appropriate attention within the Olympic family" and that "this can be considered an expression of accepting grassroots sport and Sport for All as important aspects of the Olympic legacy."
