A special "Review of the Rio 2016 Olympics" has taken place at the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC)-inaugurated 39th Session of the National Olympic Academy.

Held at the Youth Activity Center at the Sun Moon Lake in the centre of Taiwan, the "exciting" four-day Session sought to address different issues which arose during the Games.

This included the experience of volunteers as well as the international sports organisation at Rio 2016.

Another theme was on the "pursuit of excellence and media interviews", while the impact of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Agenda 2020 reform process was also considered.

Other topics included Taiwan-specific issues, such as the success of the sports lottery and sports promotion programme as well as the national athletes career planning and education programme.
