P accreditation

The P-accreditation is a special form of authorization ( accreditation ) of an athlete as a participant ( Alternate Athlete ) a team at the Olympic Games .

description

P-accredited athletes are only intended for sports that are practiced as a team sport or that carry out a discipline as a competition with a team. They are used after accredited athletes (= Olympic participants) have been eliminated from an ongoing competition and the team due to illness or injury. The National Olympic Committee (NOK) then returns the injured athlete's accreditation to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the P-accredited athlete is accredited as an Olympic participant.

P-accredited athletes are considered members of an Olympic team but are excluded from accommodation in the Olympic village . Occasionally, athletes withdraw from being nominated for the Olympic Games as P-accredited athletes.

Once a team has achieved medal rank, all athletes who took part in a competition receive a medal, including those who have been eliminated from an ongoing competition due to injury or illness. German athletes only receive a success bonus and are honored with the silver laurel leaf if they were accredited as Olympic participants.

Should an injured or sick athlete who has been substituted for a P-accredited athlete get well again during the competition, he cannot return to the competition.

Dealing with P-accredited athletes is generally regulated in the "Late Athlete Replacement Policy for the ... Olympic Games". The international sports associations concerned each determine further details for their use and use. The P accreditation was introduced by the IOC for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing .

In 2016, P-accredited athletes were accredited as Olympic participants in five sports with German participation.
