chinaONEcall is proud to be providing our 24 hour instant interpreter service for members of the British Athletes Commission (the voice of Great Britain’s elite athletes) during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
The BAC acts as the unified voice of all Olympic, Paralympic and World Class funded athletes. It communicates their views to the major decision makers within British sport, and promotes athlete representation within their sports. The BAC works to provide all athletes with a way to make their voices heard and a pathway to pursue and resolve any problems they encounter within their sport.
