His Royal Highness Prince Haji Sufri Bolkiah, President of the Brunei Darussalam National Olympic Council (BDNOC) in a sabda delivered at the National Flag Handover Ceremony for the Brunei Darussalam contingent to the 4th Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026 in Senegal called on all national athletes in Brunei Darussalam, both junior and senior, together with their coaches and national sports associations to constantly work harder and strive for excellence to qualify for the competitions.
Priority and focus should be placed on achieving qualification through the proper qualification process, rather than relying solely on universality quota places for either the Summer Youth Olympic Games or the Summer Olympic Games.
His Royal Highness commended national wushu athlete Lauren Emily Chua who gained qualification to compete on the Taolu event of Taijishan and Taijiquan at the 4th Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026.
His Royal Highness also urged athletes participating in the 4th Olympic Games Dakar 2026 to compete with confidence, unwavering dedication, strong determination and a high level of sporting spirit and to take advantage of the opportunity and trust that have been given to display abilities and best performance to bring glory to Brunei Darussalam in the international stage.
His Royal Highness also reminded athletes that participation in the 4th Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026 is an honour and an invaluable experience considering that the Youth Olympic Games is the world’s largest sporting event for young athletes, organised by IOC.
His Royal Highness added, “Prove that Brunei’s young athletes also can compete with courage, resilience and an unwavering fighting spirit. May the efforts, sacrifices and dedication of our athletes bring pride to the nation and serve as an inspiration to future generations of young athletes.”
His Royal Highness also reminded Brunei’s athletes and officers heading to the 4th Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026 to comply with regulations and guidelines established by the organiser and to stay away from prohibit substances by abiding to laws and regulations enforced by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
His Royal Highness emphasised to officers and coaches of the Brunei contingent to prioritise and ensure the safeguarding of athletes, as the welfare, safety and wellbeing of athletes is an important aspect that BDNOC places great importance on and should be given priority for the whole duration of the 4th Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026.
Despite the national contingent has listed only one female athlete, His Royal Highness said, “Her participation is very important as this shows the continuous committee of the country in supporting the involvement of women in sport inclusively and the catalyst of empowering women in the future.”
His Royal Highness also announced that BDNOC has been selected to participate in the sport attire sponsorship programme under the Association of National Olympic Committee (ANOC) through the ANOC sponsorship agreement with PEAK Company China.
His Royal Highness added; “In the programme, PEAK Company China will supply BDNOC including the national contingent with several sports attire including sport bags for all games under IOC starting with the 4th Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026 until Summer Olympic Games Brisbane 2032.”
PEAK Company China will provide one clothing design for the BDNOC and the national contingent participating in the 4th Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026. For the following sponsorship such as Summer Olympic Games LA 2028, PEAK Company China will provide designs for BDNOC to select.
