Alberto Bonacossa Trophy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alberto Bonacossa Trophy was a prize that was awarded annually by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to National Olympic Committees (NOC), which in the year before the award made a special contribution to the Olympic movement and the dissemination of the Olympic ideals had made.

The award was donated in 1954 by the National Olympic Committee of Italy ( Comitato Olimpico Nazionale Italiano ) and the family of the Italian sports official Alberto Bonacossa , who was a member of the IOC from 1925 until his death in 1953. The IOC accepted the award of the award at its 49th meeting in Athens in May 1954 and took over the award. During the 75th session of the IOC in 1975 in Vienna , it was decided to suspend the award.

In 1958, the National Olympic Committee for Germany and the National Olympic Committee of the GDR jointly received the Alberto Bonacossa Trophy in recognition of the formation of the all-German team in 1956 for the Summer Games in Melbourne and the Winter Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo .
