In the tense geopolitical context, Thomas Bach delivered a strong message to the whole world: "
In our fragile world, where conflicts and mistrust are increasing, we are showing the world that it is possible to be formidable adversaries while living in peace and respect.
The mission of the Olympics is to bring us together in peaceful competition, to always build bridges and not erect walls.
This mission is widely supported by the General Commission of the United Nations.
We call on Olympic athletes to promote peace among nations.
I call on all political authorities around the world to respect the Olympic truce.
Give peace a chance.
