Rogge insists IOC lead the way in changing face of sport
INNSBRUCK, January 18,2012 - IOC President Jacques Rogge has rejected accusations that the Olympic movement has dragged its feet before the arrival of the rival X Games.
“We did not wait for the X Games to start thinking about that.” he said. “We organised the very first Youth Olympic festival in Brussels back in 1991, some time before the Olympic Games. I am not ashamed to say that we did learn a lot from the quality of the event. We applaud the X Games, it is a very good organisation and part of the spirit is in the youth Olympics because that is what young people want.”
