The battle for the most powerful job in world sport is hurtling toward its climax as International Olympic Committee members descend on Greece this week to crown a new president.
The article from Reuters discusses the upcoming election for the presidency of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), set to occur on March 17, 2025. The current president, Thomas Bach, is seeking re-election for a third term, which would extend his tenure beyond the traditional 12-year limit due to a special rule allowing him to serve an additional four years. Bach, who has been at the helm since 2013, faces no opposition in this election, which is largely seen as a formality. His leadership has been marked by navigating the IOC through various controversies, including the handling of the Russian doping scandal and the inclusion of esports in the Olympic program. Despite some criticism, Bach's efforts to modernize the Olympics and his management during the global health crisis have garnered support for his continued leadership.
