The Estonian Olympic Committee
The Estonian Olympic Committee (EOC) was founded on 8 December 1923.
An independent Estonian team took part in the Olympic Games over the
period of 1920-36. For political reasons the activity of the EOC was
suspended in 1940-89 but it was not discontinued de jure. On
20 August 1991 the independence of the Republic of Estonia was
proclaimed.
By decision of the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee
of 18 September 1991 the EOC was reintegrated into the Olympic
Movement.
The EOC has recognized the Estonian sports associations of the Olympic
sports and other associations of non-Olympic sports which are recognized
by the IOC. The said national sports associations have the right to
nominate their candidates to the EOC.
Eligible to be elected to the EOC are:
- representatives of national associations of the Olympic sports;
- representatives of national associations of the non-Olympic sports
recognized by the IOC;
- two representatives of the Estonian Central Sports Union;
- honorary members.
The highest body of the EOC is the session which will elect the Executives
Committee of the EOC consisting of President, Vice President, Secretary
General and seven members representing sports associations. The session
will convene once a year. In the period between the sessions the activity
of the EOC will be conducted by its Executive Committee which as a rule
will convene at least once every three months.
