The Chilean Olympic Committee (COCh) (Comité Olímpico Chile) is a non-profit private organization composed of all Chilean sports federations who join it and accept its governance through statutes and regulations. It was created on 20 June 1934[1] and recognised the same year by the International Olympic Committee. The Committee is the organization in charge of coordinating Olympic activities in Chile. Before the COCh was formed, this duty was carried out by the “Liga Deportiva de Chile” (Chilean Sports League).
The motto of the COCh is the Latin phrase “Citius, Altius, Fortius”, meaning “Faster, Higher, Stronger”
