LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Go, go, Argentina!!!

fter the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, we began to work as a team,
athletes, coaches and managers, looking towards our next goal: The
ATokyo Olympic Games.

Along with the Olympic preparations, there was a global pandemic that cha-
llenged us all in many ways.

We have gone through two very complicated years.

Our athletes have made an enormous effort to train and persist in their
goals ahead of these Games.

The entire team has worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible conditions for
them to prepare for this event.

These Games will be atypical and the results will be unpredictable in some cases due to the difficult and
untraditional preparation that the athletes may have had for this event.

The Tokyo Olympic Games are a sign of hope, bringing together—for the first time since the beginning of
the pandemic—more than 200 countries to compete and, above all, to show the world that together we
can, with due care, move forward with our lives towards a better future.

We thank everyone who is part of this.

The Olympic Movement and the Japanese people have joined together in this enormous task of bringing
these Games to fruition. Thank you all!

The Tokyo Olympic Games will require a lot of discipline and respect for the protocols and all the rules and
regulations against COVID-19, where we must all lead by example, taking care of our health and strictly
complying with what is established in the Playbooks.

In conclusion, I wish them all the best in these Games. We stand by our athletes, who with their best
effort, keeping their spirits high and believing that they represent our country, will always have our great
admiration.

Go, go, Argentina!!!

Dr. Gerardo WERTHEIN
President
