The OECS Commission extends heartfelt congratulations to all participants and medallists from OECS Member States for their remarkable participation in the recently concluded Olympic Games.

âYour dedication and commitment have brought immense pride to our region, showcasing the extraordinary talent and resilience of OECS athletes on the global stage,â the Commission stated.
The Commission also acknowledged the invaluable support of Member States, National Olympic Committees, coaches, teachers, mentors, families, and support staff who have played a crucial role in preparing the regionâs athletes for this prestigious event.
âYour unwavering dedication has been instrumental in their success. We also express our gratitude to the host nation and the International Olympic Committee for organizing a successful and safe event, providing athletes with the opportunity to shine,â added the Commission.
The OECS Commission says it remains committed to promoting sports as an enabler of sustainable development and fostering support for athletes as they pursue their dreams. In March 2024 the Commission hosted the Inaugural OECS Council of Ministers: Youth and Sports and supported the 2024 OECS Invitational Boxing Championships in July 2024. In March 2024, the OECS Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Centre of Sports Resources, Expertise and Performance (CREPS), located in Guadeloupe. The MoU allows OECS athletes to access CREPSâs world-class facilities. The Commission looks forward to witnessing more remarkable achievements by the regionâs athletes in future international competitions.
