Le Président du CIO, Thomas Bach, en lui remettant cette distinction, a salué un membre éminent du CIO qui a toujours servi le sport avec passion, dévouement et, surtout, un profond désintéressement. Il a également exprimé sa confiance dans le succès des Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse (JOJ) de Dakar 2026, grâce à l'engagement renouvelé du Président de la République du Sénégal et sous le leadership du Président Diagna Ndiaye.
À l’unanimité, les membres présents à la session ont applaudi le travail remarquable accompli par le Comité d'Organisation des JOJ en vue de 2026.
S’adressant aux participants de la session, le Président Diagna Ndiaye a déclaré : « Vivre sa passion est en soi un privilège dont je serai, à jamais, redevable au CIO. La vivre au sommet de l’Olympie et en être récompensé est un moment magique, que j’accueille avec une très grande fierté. Cette distinction rejaillit sur toute l’équipe du Comité Olympique. »
La distinction de l'Ordre Olympique constitue la plus haute récompense pour les membres du CIO qui ont su contribuer de manière significative à l'avancement du sport dans le monde.

Senegal was honored in Paris on Saturday, August 10, 2024, during the closing of the 142nd session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), through our compatriot Mamadou Diagna Ndiaye.

IOC President Thomas Bach, presenting the award, praised the eminent IOC member who has always served the sport with passion, dedication, and, above all, selflessness. He also expressed his strong belief in the success of the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games (YOG), with the renewed commitment of the President of the Republic of Senegal and under the leadership of President Diagna Ndiaye.
Unanimously, the members present at the session applauded the remarkable work being done by the YOG Organizing Committee towards 2026.
Addressing the session participants, President Diagna Ndiaye stated, "Living one's passion is, in itself, a privilege for which I will forever be indebted to the IOC. To live it at the pinnacle of Olympism and be rewarded for it is a magical moment, which I welcome with great pride. This distinction reflects on the entire Olympic Committee team."
The Olympic Order is the highest honor for IOC members who have significantly contributed to the advancement of sport worldwide.
