TTOC Officials for Beijing meeting

Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) president Larry Romany and secretary general Brian Lewis will travel to Beijing,China this week to represent the TTOC at the Association of National Olympic Committee(ANOC)General Assembly which will be held from 7-10 April.

The two national Olympic officials will also attend meetings with the Beijing Olympic Organizers(BOCOG) and visit the games venues ,athletes village and other games related facilities.

"We will address with the Beijing officials all the logistical and administrative matters in an effort to ensure that every thing is in place for the T&T delegation." said Romany.

The TTOC meetings will incorporate media ,marketing and intellectual properties and rights discussions.

The T&T Olympic chief expects that the ANOC General Assembly will receive comprehensive and candid updates on all the potential concerns that could impact the games.

The IOC has come under increased international pressure to try to exert influence on the Chinese government over a series of political issues.

"The main focus of the secretary general and myself during the Beijing meetings is the successful delivery of the games operation and the success of the Beijing Games for the T&T delegation."

The TTOC according to Romany started planning for the Beijing Olympics seven years ago when Beijing won the bid.

"Our scenario planning looked at every aspect.With four months to go we are paying even closer attention to the details.There is nothing currently taking place that is a surprise to us"added Romany.
