The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC) is the governing body responsible for organizing Taiwan's participation in the Olympic Games. Established in 1970, it represents Taiwan in international sports events while adhering to the guidelines set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The committee's primary role is to promote sports development and support athletes in their training and competition. CTOC also oversees the selection of athletes and teams for the Olympics and other international competitions. It works to foster a spirit of sportsmanship and unity among athletes in Chinese Taipei, ensuring that they can compete under the name "Chinese Taipei" due to political considerations.
