“You are the enzyme that heals this society.”

Dear athletes,

Your achievements are not just medals and records – they are the emotions towards our homeland, the joy and hope you bring to people across Bosnia and Herzegovina through your performances.

With your attitude, dedication, and love for sport, you erase, even if just for a moment, the toxic atmosphere that politics creates.

Applause for your excellence.

Applause for the friendship and fair play you demonstrate on and off the field.

You are hope.

You are light.

You are motivation.

You are the enzyme that heals this society.

Despite the crumbs you receive from the state, you show the greatness and love that the whole world admires.

Together with you, we share the same values, volunteer, work, and dream of a better, fairer, and more inclusive Bosnian-Herzegovinian society.

Thank you for making us proud.

Yours,

The Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina
