CTOnews.com, October 15, according to Xinhua News Agency, IOC President Bach revealed on the evening of the 14th that the IOC is considering the establishment of an e-sports Olympic Games.

Tuyuan Pexels Bach made the above remarks in a speech at the opening ceremony of the 141st plenary session of the International Olympic Committee that evening. He said: "I have asked the new IOC e-sports committee to study the establishment of the Olympic e-sports games."

According to statistics, about 3 billion people around the world play video games, of which more than 500 million people are particularly interested in e-sports, including virtual sports and simulated sports, most of them are young people under the age of 34. Bach said that this is very important to the International Olympic Committee, so since 2018, the International Olympic Committee has been involved in the development of e-sports in an all-round manner.

"We have chosen a way to be active in the field of e-sports and to be true to the values we have followed for more than a century," Bach said. In the field of e-sports, values have always been a red line that we will not cross. Our clear position has also won more and more respect from the e-sports community. To meet Olympic values, one of the industry's leading publishers has redesigned one of their popular games-so players can shoot targets, not people. "

CTOnews.com noted that last month Bach announced the membership of the 2023 IOC Commission, emphasizing its commitment to gender equality and announcing the establishment of a new e-sports commission. The e-Sports Commission (Esports Commission) will be chaired by IOC member David Lapatien (David Lappartient). He has previously led the IOC e-sports contact group, and the Olympic e-sports week held in Singapore in June was officially considered a "remarkable success".
