The National Olympic Committees
The National Olympic Committees are responsible for the well being of its Olympic athletes. Each Committee provides training centres and funding to ensure that those athletes from that nation are given a fair chance to compete for a spot in the Olympic Games.
National Olympic Committees supervise the preliminary selection of potential bid cities. Before a candidate city can compete against those in other countries, it first must win the selection process in its own country.
Currently, there are 199 National Olympic Committees.
