On Monday, Slovak skeet shooter Danka Barteková was appointed as the Vice Chair of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)'s Athletes' Commission (AC) in PyeongChang, South Korea, where the 2018 Winer Olympics will begin this Friday. During a joint meeting between the IOC Executive Board and the AC, the Zimbabwean former swimmer Kirsty Coventry was officially appointed by the IOC President as the Commission's chair. As the olympic.org website wrote, Barteková has been instrumental in the delivery of Athlete365, a new overarching brand that brings together all the IOC athlete-focused communication strands. In 2012, Barteková won a bronze medal at the Summer Olympics in London and was elected to the IOC Athletes' Commission.
