Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute triangle and A1,B1,C1A_{1}, B_{1}, C_{1} be the touchpoints of the excircles with the segments BC,CA,ABBC, CA, AB respectively. Let OA,OB,OCO_{A}, O_{B}, O_{C} be the circumcenters of AB1C1,BC1A1,CA1B1\triangle AB_{1}C_{1}, \triangle BC_{1}A_{1}, \triangle CA_{1}B_{1} respectively. Prove that the lines through OA,OB,OCO_{A}, O_{B}, O_{C} respectively parallel to the internal angle bisectors of A,B,C\angle A,\angle B, \angle C are concurrent.
