This year's Torch Relay is very special for us as three members will be torchbearers in the Tokyo Olympic Torch Relay, marking the first time IOAPA has participated in this event in nearly 24 years.

Over the coming months, René Beck and Liliana Rachel will link Dresden (Germany) to Tokyo (Japan) by land.

The report of the 2019 IOAPA Session is now available (read the full document here in pdf format).

The IOAPA organizes its official session every two years at the IOA premises in Ancient Olympia. This session is organized entirely by the IOAPA and hosted by the IOA. The session is at the same time the General Assembly of the Association, where the business of the Association is conducted, officers are elected, the ongoing work of the IOAPA is evaluated and goals for the future are set. In addition, it provides a great opportunity to return to Olympia and the IOA, meet new members and renew old friendships.

The IOAPA has been organising meetings for its members during past Olympic Games. The Olympic Games are one of the best times for IOAPA members to reunite and rekindle the Spirit which was shared in Olympia.

IOAPA maintains the spirit of attending the International Olympic Academy (IOA) and encourages action after the experiences which educate inspire us all at the IOA.
