The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has opened nominations for the 2024 IOC Gender Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (GEDI) Champions Awards, aiming to recognise individuals and organizations that are committed to driving positive change in sport.

The ITTF, as an approved nominator, is now seeking candidates from the table tennis community who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to advancing gender equality, diversity, and inclusion. These candidates should embody the values of inclusivity and equality, creating meaningful impact through their efforts in and around the sport of table tennis.

With IOC nominations open until 30 November 2024, the ITTF invites members of its community to submit their candidacies by 10 November. Submissions should be submitted here and must include a 500-word summary highlighting how the nominee has contributed to gender equality, diversity, and inclusion in table tennis, detailing the methods used and at least one key achievement.

We are thrilled to support the IOC in recognising inspiring changemakers in sport. Our goal is to highlight those unsung heroes in table tennis who are championing equality and inclusion. We encourage everyone who is, or knows, a deserving candidate to step forward, said ITTF President and IOC Member Petra Sörling

Each year, six recipients are honoured by the IOC GEDI Champions Awards one from each continent (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) and one at the world level. Winners are recognized for their contribution in areas such as participation, leadership, safe sport, portrayal, and resource allocation.

Many in the table tennis community have embraced and supported the principles of gender equality, diversity, and inclusion, ensuring that our sport is accessible and welcoming to everyone. Their actions are breaking barriers and setting new standards in table tennis, and we wish for them to be acknowledged on a global stage, added ITTF GEDI Commissioner Hajera Kajee.

For further details on the nomination process or to submit a candidate, please contact the ITTF here.
