A justified pride over what has been done, and a pledge for the future and new successes, were the key messages at the Montenegrin Olympic Committee’s ceremony, which marked the ten years of existence of the national Home of Olympism.
Since July 7, 2007, and the General Assembly of the IOC in Guatemala City, MOC has been recognized as a National Committee, 204th in the world at the time.
Through the promotion of the Olympic values, sportsmanship, healthy lifestyle and encouragement of physical activity, MOC celebrated the International Olympic Day today, in Niksic and Berane.
The IOC was officially established on 23 June 1894, which is why this date was chosen as the International Olympic Day, and is marked by the NOCs since 1948.
Games of the Small States of Europe have been officially concluded in San Marino, following the closing ceremony and the symbolic transfer of the flag to the next host, Montenegro.
The President of CONS, Gian Primo Giardi, handed the flag to the president of the MOC, Dusan Simonovic, symbolically handing over the arrangement of the Games to Montenegro.
Montenegrin athletes finished the Games of the Small States of Europe in San Marino with 31 medals, just nine less than they won altogether in the three previous appearances at these Games in 2011, 2013 and 2015.
Out of 31 medal, 13 are golden, six silver and 12 bronze.
After the fourth day of the competition, Montenegrin athletes have 25 medals – 11 gold, four silver and 10 bronze medals.
The men’s and women’s judo teams of Montenegro both won gold medals in the team competition at the Games of the Small States in San Marino.
