Clayton in his role as Canadian coach at Rolex Kentucky
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by Canada and Australia on Saturday – so does this mean Clayton could be coaching the Canadians down under?
According to a press release from the Australian Olympic Committee, Australia’s Olympic athletes and coaches will benefit from a new partnership between the Australian and Canadian Olympic Committees. These organisations have united to support excellence in sport with collaboration on key elements of high performance through until after the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by the Australian Olympic Committee President John Coates and the Canadian Olympic Committee President Marcel Aubut in Lausanne on Saturday 15 June 2013.
Under the terms of the MOU the two National Olympic Committees will engage in the sharing of skills, knowledge and experience in the areas of coaching, sports administration, sports science, education and training.
“This agreement reinforces the strong commitment Australia and Canada have to protecting the integrity of sport. It will provide a framework for greater cooperation in this regard,” Coates said.
Australian athletes training hard for the 2014 Sochi Games will be the first to benefit with a special focus on winter sports cooperation with the world leading Canadians, ahead of the Games in Russia.
One of the features of the MOU is access to and support in the preparation and organisation of training camps in each other countries
“Over time both our nations will be able to benefit in summer sports as well.”
