The SportAccord Forum, held in Lausanne October 21-23, was an opportunity to bring together the members of AIOS Association of International Organisations for Sport of which PI is a member.
Present for Panathlon International were: President, Giorgio Chinellato, Past President Pierre Zappelli, along with President Bruno Molea, Valeria Gherardini and Wolfgang Burghardt (CSIT), Martin Isaksson and Bradley Sandler (FICS - Federation Internationale de chiropratique du sport).
During the meeting there was a discussion about the next possible members of Aios and the role of Aios in SportAccord, following the resolution taken by Gaisf regarding its decision on the possible entry of Aios into SportAccord as an observer.
The entry of grassroots sport and organisations that do not practice élite sport in SportAccord would be an important recognition of the work of those who struggle every day to promote sport as a tool for healthy lifestyle and education.
