The pair met at the Olympic House in Switzerland where Bach was praised for supporting the initiatives of the NOC by increasing the number of Olympic Solidarity scholarships for 2022 to 2024 as well as assisting in such programmes in Kyrgyzstan.

Mamytov informed Bach of his efforts to attract local investment and to form partnerships within the international sporting community and draft a new charter.

Olympic Solidarity programmes in Kyrgyzstan have also increased three-fold while Mamytov has been at the helm.

The aim of Olympic Solidarity is to provide assistance to all NOCs for athlete development programmes, in particular those with the greatest need of it.

Bach thanked Mamytov for the visit before congratulating him on the success of his organisation's initiatives.

The German also wished the country's athletes luck in upcoming international competitions and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Kyrgyzstan produced their best Olympic performance at the postponed Tokyo 2020 Olympics as they secured two silver medals and one bronze.

Overall, the country has three silvers and four bronzes with all medals coming in wrestling apart from Aidyn Smagulov's judo bronze at Sydney 2000.

Bach ended the meeting by noting the Olympic Day celebrations conducted in Kyrgyzstan, the educational lectures provided by Olympic weightlifting champion Kanybek Osmonaliev, and welcomed the formation of the Athletes' Committee.

Osmonaliev won the men's flyweight gold at Moscow 1980 competing for the Soviet Union.
