The continued success of the TOP programme and Olympic broadcast agreements has enabled the IOC to provide increased support for the NOCs with each Olympic quadrennium. |
However, if the NOCs and IF involved agree, then the IOC Executive Board may reduce or cancel this period. |
In the first half of 2014, as many as 4344 and 346 NOCs were issued for the Dangerous Goods and Firearms, respectively. |
The IOC also contributes Olympic broadcast revenue to Olympic Solidarity, an IOC organisation that provides financial support to NOCs with the greatest need. |
Aside from the NOCs which dominate the Upstream sector, there are many international companies that have a market share. |
The IOC distributes TOP programme revenue to each of the NOCs throughout the world. |
