Attributions
The BOC is responsible for enrolling Brazilian athletes in every edition of the Olympic Games. In this attribution, the policy used by the institution is the "meritorious inclusion". This means that the BOC does not holds Olympic Trials, all Brazilian athletes that meet the requirements set forth by their sport's International Federation for participation in the Games are automatically enrolled by the BOC in the event — if the country has a limited number of spots in any given event in the Games and the number of athletes meeting the criteria for qualification exceeds it, the BOC will then respect the official rankings of the sport, or any other criterion used by the sport's Federation for ranking purposes, and enroll the top ranked athletes to the limit of the spots assigned to the country in the Games. National teams may qualify through Pre-Olympic Tournaments and/or international events that award spots in the Games; individual athletes, depending on their sport, may also qualify by achieving a certain minimum performance or time for the Games (e.g. in Swimming, where athletes qualify when they swim their event in a certain time). A breaststroke swimmer A dog swimming Swimming describes any method by which living creatures move themselves through water apart from walking on the bottom. ...
The other side of this is that the BOC has an official policy of never requesting "inclusion spots" in the Olympic Games: every country's Olympic Committee is entitled to request that the International Olympic Committee include athletes of that nationality in events to which they had not qualified, so long as the country in question had no athletes qualified when it had a right to enroll athletes in any given event; Any national Olympic Committee may also request those spots if it has not reached the number of athletes that it had been assigned, which would cause the Olympic draws to diminish. The International Olympic Committee is an organisation based in Lausanne, Switzerland, created by Pierre de Coubertin on June 23 1894 to reinstate the Ancient Olympic Games held in Greece between 776 BC to 396 AD. Its membership is 202 National Olympic Committees. ...
As an example, if no Brazilian athletes succeed in qualifying for the Olympic Weightlifting event, then no Brazilian athlete will participate in the given Olympics, because the BOC will not request the enrollment of any athlete that has not achieved qualification on his or her own merit. This could be observed, for instance, in the Weightlifting event of the 2004 Summer Games, when no Brazilian athlete participated, even though the BOC could have requested a special inclusion for representation purposes. Weightlifting at the 2004 Summer Olympics was held in the Nikaia Olympic Weightlifting Hall. ...
Another key attribution of the Brazilian Olympic Committee is the submitting of official bids for holding an edition of the Olympic Games. In Brazil, the BOC is the final authority for submitting a bid, and no Brazilian city may bid if not through the BOC. As a longstanding tradition, the BOC only submits one bid at a time, meaning that only one Brazilian city may bid for any given edition of the Games. In recent times, the city of Rio de Janeiro has been the preferred candidate, having had its bid submitted (unsuccessfully) for the Games of 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012. This is done as a means of strengthening a national bid for Brazil, which is believed to be stronger if represented by and concentrated on a single bid for only one city.

In 2004, when it was time to submit the bids for the Games of 2012 (ultimately awarded to London, England), the city of São Paulo contested the automatic choice of Rio de Janeiro as the natural Brazilian candidate. São Paulo insisted that it could produce a bid that would be more competitive than that of Rio de Janeiro. The BOC would not decline of its policy of submitting only one national bid, and decided to settle the issue internally, through a vote in which all registered members of the BOC would participate. Both cities were required to present by then their final bid for the Games (as if it was being submitted to the IOC then) for evaluation by the delegates voting. The result was a landslide in favor of Rio de Janeiro, and the BOC then submitted its bid for the Games. This caused some confusion in the international community, since the city of São Paulo had announced that it planned to bid for the Games. Many thought that the city's officials had either missed the deadline to submit the bid or had decided to abandon the initiative to bid for the Games on their own. 2012 (MMXII) will be a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
