The Montecaran Invictus Games Committee (Montecaran language: Conmixòn Montecarà dèa Xógi Invicti, CMXI) is the National Invictus Committee for Montecara. It is responsible for the development and governance of Invictus sports in Montecara and is recognized by the International Invictus Committee.
History
The Committee was founded shortly after Montecaran independence in early 1935. Montecara first competed in the 1938 Summer Invictus Games held in Nouvelle-Rayenne, Cassier. The country would not participate in a Winter Invictus Games until 1996.
Controversies
Montecaran athletes have criticized the Committee for disproportionately funding a select group of sports, most notably cycling, sailing, and rowing. Winter sports in particular are, according to critics, chronically underfunded, with less than 10% of the Committee's budget going to winter athletes and programs. The Committee has defended itself by saying that it focuses funding on sports where Montecara has the best opportunity to medal and that per-athlete funding levels are among the highest worldwide.
