Sport and Singing Contest<br />
Launched in November 2007 the IOC<br />
Sport and Singing Contest is the <strong>la</strong>test<br />
Commission contest aimed at <strong>de</strong>veloping<br />
the association of sport and art at national<br />
and international levels.<br />
Although the contest is new the association<br />
of art and music stretches back to the early<br />
mo<strong>de</strong>rn Olympics where competitions were<br />
held to find an Olympic Anthem.<br />
All National Olympic Committees have been<br />
invited to organise a national singing contest<br />
inspired by the i<strong>de</strong>a of sport and to submit a<br />
song on DVD, composed of original lyrics,<br />
music and choreography to the international<br />
competition. The three winning performances<br />
to be selected by an international jury will<br />
receive a cash price and a diploma. In addition<br />
the winning singers will be invited to Beijing<br />
during the Olympic Games to perform<br />
their song.<br />
The most famous athlete/musician is<br />
arguably Micheline Ostermeyer from France<br />
who was at once a brilliant pianist and<br />
an outstanding athlete who won three<br />
medals in athletics in the 1948 Olympic<br />
Games but this could change with this new<br />
contest.<br />
