The BOC Signs Agreements with National Athletes Selected for the BEAST Program The Bhutan Olympic Committee (BOC) has taken a significant step in enhancing Bhutanese sports by officially signing agreements with a group of national athletes selected to participate in the Bhutan Elite Athlete Support Training (BEAST) Program. This initiative, launched in collaboration with the National Sports Federations (NSFs), aims to provide the country’s top athletes with financial support and training resources, empowering them to achieve their best and represent Bhutan with pride at the international level. A New Era for Elite Athletes in Bhutan The BEAST Program was established to elevate the standards of sports in Bhutan by offering targeted support to athletes demonstrating the highest levels of skill, performance, and potential. Following the approval from the General Assembly (GA) and the Executive Committee (EC), the BOC ensured that the selection process was transparent and fair by forming a technical committee. The committee, composed of sports science experts and coaches who were not affiliated with the participating federations, oversaw the selection process to maintain objectivity. The selection of athletes involved a rigorous assessment based on past achievements, skill levels, and fitness conditions. Each athlete’s competitive history, technical abilities, and physical readiness were carefully reviewed to identify the best candidates. The committee also considered recommendations from the federations to gain insights into the athletes’ dedication to training and overall commitment. Athletes from five key sports federations—Judo, Athletics, Boxing, Shooting, and Archery—were chosen for the BEAST Program. Representing the elite of Bhutanese sports, these athletes will receive monthly stipends, enabling them to concentrate on their training and preparations without financial burdens. A Comprehensive Support System for Athlete Development The BEAST Program provides more than just financial support; it encompasses a holistic approach to athlete development. The stipends offered will help cover essential expenses, including training equipment, travel costs for competitions, and daily living expenses, allowing athletes to focus entirely on their sport. Alongside financial assistance, the BOC, in partnership with the NSFs, will guide athletes with tailored training plans, access to high-quality coaching, and opportunities for international exposure. The program’s multi-dimensional strategy aims to bridge the gap between Bhutanese athletes and their international counterparts. By fostering a high-performance culture, the BEAST Program empowers athletes to maximize their potential. Investing in elite talent is a crucial part of the BOC’s strategy to elevate Bhutan’s presence in global competitions while promoting sports as a source of national pride and unity. Targeting Success at the Asian Games The BOC has ambitious plans for Bhutan’s sporting future, setting its sights on achieving success at the Asian Games, particularly targeting the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 edition. The BEAST Program plays a central role in this vision by providing the necessary resources and support for athletes to prepare and compete at a high level. The program’s focus on comprehensive development ensures that athletes will be better equipped to meet the demands of international competition and excel in their respective disciplines. By setting specific targets for the 2026 Asian Games, the BOC aims to inspire not only the selected athletes but the entire sporting community in Bhutan. The journey towards Aichi-Nagoya 2026 will serve as a motivating force, driving athletes to work harder and strive for greater achievements. The program’s long-term vision aligns with Bhutan’s broader objectives of increasing its visibility in international sports and enhancing its competitiveness on the Asian stage. The Selection Process: Ensuring Fairness and Transparency The selection process for the BEAST Program was designed to uphold the highest standards of fairness and transparency. After approval from the GA and EC, the formation of an independent technical committee was essential for ensuring impartiality. This committee, consisting of sports science experts and coaches unaffiliated with any of the federations involved, evaluated athletes based on a variety of criteria. Key factors included past performances in national and international competitions, technical skills, and physical fitness levels. Each athlete’s recent achievements and progress were considered, with an emphasis on consistency, improvements over time, and competitive experience. Additionally, the federations’ input offered valuable perspectives on the athletes’ progress and training commitment, contributing to a well-rounded evaluation. Regular assessments by the technical committee will continue throughout the athletes’ participation in the program, allowing for ongoing monitoring and adaptation of support to meet individual needs. Impact on Bhutan’s Sporting Landscape The implementation of the BEAST Program is a transformative milestone for Bhutanese sports. By investing in elite athletes, the BOC is making a significant commitment to raising the standard of sports in the country. The financial and training support provided through the program is anticipated to boost athletes’ performance, thereby enhancing Bhutan’s chances of success in international competitions. The program also aims to inspire young athletes across Bhutan by showing that there is a pathway to recognition and support for their dedication to sports. It reflects the collaborative spirit of the BOC and NSFs, who have worked closely to create a program that meets the actual needs of athletes, ensuring that support is meaningful and impactful. BOC’s Vision for the Future The Bhutan Olympic Committee’s vision extends beyond the immediate goals of the BEAST Program. By investing in today’s athletes, the BOC is setting the stage for future generations who will continue to enhance Bhutan’s reputation in global sports. The program is part of a broader strategy to integrate sports into Bhutan’s national identity, fostering unity and pride among its people. Looking forward, the BOC aims to expand the BEAST Program, potentially including more athletes and sports disciplines. With continued support from the government, private sector, and Bhutanese society, the BOC is confident that Bhutan can achieve remarkable success at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games and beyond.
