The Flambeau d’Or ceremony will take place in Rome on 16th September at 3.00 p.m. The International Board has decided to award this important recognition to the IOC President, Thomas Bach, who will receive it at the CONI Hall of Honour. The Prize, established in 1972, aims to identify important personalities in the world of sport who have honoured and promulgated the fundamental principles of the affirmation of the ethical and cultural values of sport. The award is normally given every four years. In 2018 the prize was awarded to French skier Jean Claude Killy.
