The USOPC is responsible for supporting, entering and overseeing U.S. teams for the <a href="/wiki/Olympic_Games" title="Olympic Games">Olympic Games</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paralympic_Games" title="Paralympic Games">Paralympic Games</a>, <a href="/wiki/Youth_Olympic_Games" title="Youth Olympic Games">Youth Olympic Games</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pan_American_Games" title="Pan American Games">Pan American Games</a>, <a href="/wiki/Parapan_American_Games" title="Parapan American Games">Parapan American Games</a> and <a href="/wiki/Junior_Pan_American_Games" title="Junior Pan American Games">Junior Pan American Games</a> and serves as the steward of the Olympic and Paralympic Movements in the United States. </p><p>The Olympic Movement is overseen by the <a href="/wiki/International_Olympic_Committee" title="International Olympic Committee">International Olympic Committee</a> (IOC). The IOC is supported by 35 international federations that govern each sport on a global level and the 207 National Olympic Committees that oversee Olympic sport as a whole in their respective nations, and national federations that administer each sport at the national level (called <a href="/wiki/National_governing_bodies" class="mw-redirect" title="National governing bodies">National Governing Bodies</a>, or NGBs, in the United States). The National Paralympic Committee is the sole governing body responsible for the selection and training of all athletes participating in the Paralympic Games. </p><p>The USOPC is one of 207 NOCs and 176 NPCs within the international Olympic and Paralympic movements. Forty-seven NGBs are members of the USOPC. Fifteen of the NGBs also manage sports on the Paralympic program (there are fewer Paralympic sports in the world). While the USOPC governs four Paralympic sports (cycling, skiing, swimming, and track & field), five other Paralympic sports are governed by U.S. members of International Paralympic Federations (<a href="/wiki/Wheelchair_basketball" title="Wheelchair basketball">wheelchair basketball</a>, <a href="/wiki/Boccia" title="Boccia">boccia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Goalball" title="Goalball">goalball</a>, <a href="/wiki/Powerlifting" title="Powerlifting">powerlifting</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Wheelchair_rugby" title="Wheelchair rugby">wheelchair rugby</a>). </p><p>Unlike most other nations, the United States government does not have a <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Sports" class="mw-redirect" title="Ministry of Sports">Ministry of Sports</a> and does not fund its Olympic Committee. This is in part due to the <a href="/wiki/Taboo" title="Taboo">taboo</a> of mixing sports and politics in the U.S. The USOPC was reorganized by the <a href="/wiki/Ted_Stevens_Olympic_and_Amateur_Sports_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act">Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act</a>, originally enacted in 1978. It is a federally chartered nonprofit corporation and does not receive federal financial support (other than for select Paralympic military programs). Pursuant to the Act, the USOPC has the exclusive right to use and authorize the use of Olympic-related marks, images and terminology in the United States. The USOPC licenses that right to sponsors as a means of generating revenue in support of its mission.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Founded as the <b>American Olympic Committee</b> (<b>AOC</b>) and having been known since the 1960s as the <b>United States Olympic Committee</b> (<b>USOC</b>), the organization changed its name to the USOPC changed on June 20, 2019, becoming the first Olympic Committee in the world to include the word <i>Paralympic</i> in its name.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=United_States_Olympic_%26_Paralympic_Committee&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:US_Olympic_Committee_Headquarters_by_David_Shankbone.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/US_Olympic_Committee_Headquarters_by_David_Shankbone.jpg/250px-US_Olympic_Committee_Headquarters_by_David_Shankbone.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="188" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/US_Olympic_Committee_Headquarters_by_David_Shankbone.jpg/375px-US_Olympic_Committee_Headquarters_by_David_Shankbone.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/US_Olympic_Committee_Headquarters_by_David_Shankbone.jpg/500px-US_Olympic_Committee_Headquarters_by_David_Shankbone.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3264" data-file-height="2448" /></a><figcaption>U.S. Olympic Committee headquarters in <a href="/wiki/Colorado_Springs,_Colorado" title="Colorado Springs, Colorado">Colorado Springs, Colorado</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:USOPCLogo.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/USOPCLogo.svg/220px-USOPCLogo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="45" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/USOPCLogo.svg/330px-USOPCLogo.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/USOPCLogo.svg/440px-USOPCLogo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="247" data-file-height="50" /></a><figcaption>United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee logo</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Team_USA.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Team_USA.png/220px-Team_USA.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="114" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Team_USA.png/330px-Team_USA.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Team_USA.png 2x" data-file-width="352" data-file-height="183" /></a><figcaption>Team USA logo</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:United_States_Olympic_Team.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f9/United_States_Olympic_Team.svg/220px-United_States_Olympic_Team.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f9/United_States_Olympic_Team.svg/330px-United_States_Olympic_Team.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f9/United_States_Olympic_Team.svg/440px-United_States_Olympic_Team.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="300" /></a><figcaption>U.S. Olympic Team logo</figcaption></figure> <p>Upon the founding of the <a href="/wiki/International_Olympic_Committee" title="International Olympic Committee">International Olympic Committee</a> in 1894, the two American IOC members – <a href="/wiki/James_Edward_Sullivan" title="James Edward Sullivan">James Edward Sullivan</a> and <a href="/wiki/William_Milligan_Sloane" title="William Milligan Sloane">William Milligan Sloane</a> – formed a committee to organize the participation of American athletes in the <a href="/wiki/1896_Summer_Olympics" title="1896 Summer Olympics">1896 Summer Olympics</a>, in Athens, Greece. In 1921, the committee adopted a constitution and bylaws to formally organize the American Olympic Association. </p><p>From 1928 to 1953, its president was <a href="/wiki/Avery_Brundage" title="Avery Brundage">Avery Brundage</a>, who later went on to become the <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_International_Olympic_Committee" title="President of the International Olympic Committee">president of the IOC</a>, the only American to do so. </p><p>In 1940, the AOA changed its name to the United States of America Sports Federation and, in 1945, changed it again to the United States Olympic Association. In 1950, federal mandate allowed the USOA to solicit tax-deductible contributions as a private, non-profit corporation. After several constitutional revisions were made to the federal charter in 1961, the name was changed to the United States Olympic Committee. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Amateur_Sports_Act_of_1978" title="Amateur Sports Act of 1978">Amateur Sports Act of 1978</a> (later renamed in the <a href="/wiki/Amateur_Sports_Act_of_1978#1998_Revision" title="Amateur Sports Act of 1978">Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act</a>) established the USOPC, then referred to as the USOC (United States Olympic Committee), as the coordinating body for all Olympic-related athletic activity in the United States, specifically relating to international competition. The USOPC was also given the responsibility of promoting and supporting physical fitness and public participation in athletic activities by encouraging developmental programs in its member organizations. The provisions protect individual athletes, and provide the USOPC's counsel and authority to oversee Olympic and Paralympic business in the United States. </p><p>The public law not only protects the trademarks of the IOC and USOPC, but also gives the USOPC exclusive rights to the words "Olympic", "Olympiad" and "<a href="/wiki/Olympic_symbols#Motto_and_creed" title="Olympic symbols">Citius, Altius, Fortius</a>", as well as commercial use of Olympic and Paralympic marks and terminology in the United States, excluding <a href="/wiki/Northern_Mariana_Islands" title="Northern Mariana Islands">Northern Mariana Islands</a>, <a href="/wiki/American_Samoa" title="American Samoa">American Samoa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Guam" title="Guam">Guam</a>, <a href="/wiki/Puerto_Rico" title="Puerto Rico">Puerto Rico</a> and the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Virgin_Islands" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Virgin Islands">U.S. Virgin Islands</a>, which fall under the authority of separate NOCs and NPCs. </p><p>One of the many revolutionary elements contained within the legislation was the Paralympic Amendment – an initiative that fully integrated the Paralympic Movement into the USOPC by Congressional mandate in 1998. </p><p>U.S. Paralympics, a division of the USOPC, was founded in 2001. In addition to selecting and managing the teams which compete for the United States in the Paralympic Games, U.S. Paralympics is also responsible for supporting Paralympic community and military sports programs around the country.

Iniguez cited the fact that the USOPC made health care benefits available to a smaller percentage of Paralympians, provided smaller quarterly training stipends and paid smaller financial awards for medals won at the Paralympics. American Paralympians saw this as a disadvantage for Paralympic athletes, as nations such as <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Paralympic_Committee" title="Canadian Paralympic Committee">Canada</a> and the <a href="/wiki/British_Paralympic_Association" title="British Paralympic Association">United Kingdom</a> support Paralympians and Olympians virtually equally. The USOPC did not deny the discrepancy in funding, but contended that this was due to the fact that it did not receive any government financial support. As a result, it had to rely on revenue generated by the media exposure of its athletes. Olympic athletic success resulted in greater exposure for the USOPC than Paralympic athletic achievements.

Under the terms of the new agreement, the USOPC is guaranteed seven percent of the U.S. broadcast revenue and 10 percent of the IOC's global sponsorship revenue.
