"We always look forward to the ANOC Awards because it provides us with an opportunity to give NOCs and their athletes the recognition they deserve," said ANOC President, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah. 

"They dedicate themselves to the Olympic Movement 365 days a year and the ANOC Awards is a chance to honour them and provide them with an evening to enjoy.

"There were so many spectacular athletic performances at Rio 2016 that the ANOC Jury must have had a very difficult job in selecting the winners. 

"Rio 2016 truly was a Games which showcased the exceptional talents of the world’s athletes and provided so many special moments which inspired us all. 

"The ANOC Awards 2016 will be a fantastic opportunity to celebrate these moments and honour the NOCs without whom it would not have been possible."
