ANOC Extends Warm Wishes for the Lunar New Year: A Time for Hope and New Opportunities

The Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) joins the global community in celebrating the Lunar New Year, and extends heartfelt wishes to athletes, families, and sports enthusiasts around the world.

The Lunar New Year is more than just a time of personal reflection and hope; it is a celebration of the collective strength, unity, and spirit that binds us together as a global family. It reminds us that, just like in sports, each challenge and triumph is shared, and every success is made sweeter by the support we offer each other.

This season serves as a powerful reminder that perseverance, hard work, and collaboration can overcome any obstacle. The Year of the Snake, a symbol of transformation and renewal, invites us to embrace new opportunities with a renewed sense of purpose and determination. Just as the snake sheds its skin to evolve and grow, we too have the chance to leave behind old habits, face challenges with wisdom, and approach the future with an open heart and a focused mind.

In the world of sports, we know that no victory is achieved alone. It takes the strength of a team, the encouragement of loved ones, and the dedication of each individual to make dreams a reality. Similarly, the Lunar New Year calls us to unite in the pursuit of shared goals, whether it’s personal growth, professional success, or collective well-being.
Let us step into this new year with a sense of gratitude for what we’ve achieved and excitement for the endless possibilities ahead. May the Year of the Snake bring not only health and happiness but also the courage to face challenges and the wisdom to seize the opportunities that will lead us to greater heights.

Together, we rise. Together, we succeed.

Wishing you all a year filled with joy, prosperity, and boundless possibilities. Here’s to new beginnings, lasting unity, and a prosperous future for all!
