Olympic family goes back to class at RIOU Open Day
Senior figures in the Olympic Movement, including IOC members Vitaly Smirnov, Shamil Tarpischev, Patrick Hickey, Denis Oswald, Valeriy Borzov and IPC President Sir Philip Craven went back to class today during the Russian International Olympic University’s (RIOU) Olympic Family Open Day to find out what life is like for students and professors at the University, located in the heart of Sochi at the centre of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. IOC members, their senior staff and representatives of International Federations (IFs), National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and members of national delegations, were all given a tour of RIOU’s state-of-the-art campus and attended open lectures, exhibitions and presentations about the University’s education and research programmes. Adding to the importance of the day for RIOU was the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) with the World Curling Federation (WCF). Curling featured at the first ever Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix in 1924 and this MoC is the third RIOU has signed with an International Federation since it was founded in 2009.
