The OCOG numbered 45 members
in all.
The IOC members in the USSR,
V. G. Smirnov and K. A. Andrianov,
were included on the Organising Committee
together with S. P. Pavlov,
President of the USSR Olympic Committee,
as required by Rule 52 of the
Olympic Charter.
All the OCOG members were leaders
of sports and public organisations,
executives of ministries and government
agencies, whose participation in
the preparation and staging of the
Games was essential. At the same
time, they possessed a great deal of
managerial experience in such areas
as sports, construction and architecture,
transport, communications,
power engineering, radio and television,
finance, logistics, arts, information,
services, and commerce.
The Organising Committee consisting
of representatives from government
bodies and of experienced leaders
in the national economy, who
possessed both professional knowledge
and the required authority in
their particular fields, made it possible
for the OCOG to resolve efficiently the
complex problems involved in the
preparation of the Games of the XXII
Olympiad and to ensure their eventual
success.
