LETTER OF SUPPORT BY PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Dear Mr President,
Dear IOC Members,

As the Russian Olympic Committee President, I would like to express my personal confidence, the confidence of the Russian Olympic Committee and of the entire Russian sports community in our country’s ability to plan and host a spectacular Olympic Games in 2012. Our city is the perfect choice to host the world’s best athletes, coaches and sports officials from the highest levels of sport.

Russians love sports and the Olympic Games. Through the years, our country has played an important role in the Olympic Movement and the performances of Russian athletes at many Olympic Games have thrilled and inspired the world. Should Moscow be chosen, our city and country are well-prepared to accept this great honour and I can assure you that all of the sporting resources of our nation will be focused on the success of the 2012 Olympic Games.

I firmly believe that staging the Games of the XXX Olympiad in Moscow will be a triumph of the principles of fair competition and an enchanting spectacle of sports.

President of the Russian Olympic Committee L.Tiagachev
