Bach emphasized the importance of such achievements for the IOC, which is committed to global solidarity and supporting athletes from less privileged nations through Olympic Solidarity programs.

"These victories reaffirm that we are on the right track," said Bach, adding that the close competitions and diverse medal winners showcased the effectiveness of these programs in leveling the playing field.

As Paris prepares to hand over the Olympic torch to Los Angeles for the 2028 Games, Bach expressed confidence in the success of the next edition.
