IOC presidential elections: Seb Coe and Johan Eliasch among seven candidates running for a stronger position in World Sport | New Olympic Games

For the seven who want to occupy the most powerful position of sport – chairman of the International Olympic Committee (ILO) – they will take 15 minutes of their reputation on Thursday.

A woman and six men have the opportunity to present their manifesto, their vision of the Olympic movement in front of the entire Olympic family in the Swiss city of Lausanne.

It is the only time that the candidates to achieve today’s ILO president Thomas Bach have a “official” moment to persuade the ILO accession that exceeds the 200 nations to vote for them.

Following the presentations of “The 7”, the ILO family must wait until March, when everyone meets in Athens, in Greece to vote.

Then we will know who will be the new ILO president, the man or woman who will oversee the Milan Winter Olympics in just over a year and then deal with US President Donald Trump as well as the disaster caused by From the fires around Los Angeles in front of the La 2028 summer games.

The ILO also has many other challenges to face and while there is a crossing of ideas among the seven candidates, some have stronger acoustic ideas, while others less.

CoE sports myth needs minimal introduction

Of the seven candidates, two are British. Sebastian coe It takes minimal introduction. A sporting myth on the track, Olympic gold and global boot archives combined with the label of the person who handed over the successful London Olympics and Paralympic Games.

He has revolutionized the Athletics World Government Corps from the tired IAAF in a living world sport since becoming president in 2015. He is one of his capable communicationists and a clever politician, a very handy characteristic in the harsh world of elite athletic administration.

The other British candidate is much less publicly known but Johanch Elich Packs a fist with his resume.

A billionaire businessman specializing in the turn of the company’s property around, the best known is the athletic manufacturer “Head”.

In recent decades he has turned his attention to climate and environmental issues. Quiet and gently talked to a Swedish Lilt accent, was born and raised there, Eliasch is also president of a world sport. His administrative body is FIS for skiing and snowboarding. He has also worked for prime ministers, informed both work and conservatives and counting rights as friends.

Eliasch’s USP is its climate credentials. A billionaire yes, so some would say that he could afford to be conscious, but he talks about it for a while.

In 2005 he founded Trust Rainforest and a year later he founded cool land, and the two entities exist to protect and maintain the threatened tropical forest.

As the president of a winter sport, the future of the winter Olympic Games and who can even host it, while the countdown to Los Angeles games in 2028 is beating as huge areas around Los Angeles have been burned in the ground during the ground during the ground of recent fires.

Erian and outsider

Said Eliasch Sky Sports news: “Governments were not very effective when it comes to climate change and this is an existential threat to humanity. The planet was not designed for eight billion people living in the way we do and there is only one planet. Have the technology to He goes somewhere else in the galaxy or universe.

“We have to find solutions, now if we translate it into initiatives … For winter races, there are many locations, many spaces that will be very difficult.

“I’m not absolutely negative about the future of winter races, but here we also have a duty to act in a sustainable way. We do not want to create infrastructure that cannot be used in the future and is much better already proposed by the ILO, to have a Rotation shape.

“We focus on some areas, places where the federations concerned can bring events, support these areas. Parts and rotate games between these 10 seats.”

An impressive figure with an impressive resume, but Eliasch carries issues that some IOC members can ask for.

When he became President of FIS, four of the largest countries of Snow Sport initially refused to vote, as Eliasch was the only name on the vote paper, not even the choice of “yes/no” had outraged them while Eliasch contradicts any link with Business transactions with the Duke of York, Prince Andrew.

Eliasch acknowledges that a business was created in 2002, where the Duke of York used one of his titles, Count or Andrew inverness, but says he knows and had a friendship with the prince through a broader friendship with members of the royal family.

While Eliasch is pushing his environmental credentials, he is now regarded as a stranger, though one with a resume.

Coe is a pioneer

Coe on the other hand is one of the pioneers who will succeed Thomas Bach with energy for the top job he said Sports It was a “dance that could not sit down”.

While Coe, like all candidates, the Elins back publicly from the ratification of the Revolution in the ILO, the “evolution” of the COE comes from the belief that “excessive power is in the hands of very few people in the ILO.

The COE ILO would see sports and athletes in the heart and center of all decisions along with the entire attribute of the ILO member. He wants a cooperative presidency.

Coe was the most vocal of all candidates about the discussion of the “female category”. As president of world sport, he has overseen a policy that defines this and has forbidden transsexual women from competing in this category.

The rule states that “a transsexual athlete who had not gone through male adolescence will not compete in women’s races.”

If the COE becomes the new ILO president, the issues around the protection of the “female category” and the cash prize will be addressed, another spectacular issue will be addressed. His faith was and is, if the ILO had a clear policy about transsexual athletes and those with DSD (differences in sexual development) in Paris 2024, they would have the dispute and reference to two women boxers, Imane Khelif and and Lin Yu Ting, they would have been avoided.

Who are Cole and Eliasch?

Five other candidates are struggling to become the next ILO president.

The only candidate Kirsty Coventry From Zimbabwe.

Coventry was a decorated Olympic swimmer, winning gold medals at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics.

Following her retirement, she was largely involved in the administration of sports, including the existence of Zimbabwe’s Minister of Sports, if she wins the presidency vote, Coventry will become the first woman to hold the ILO’s office.

Another recognizable name is the Spanish Juan Antonio Samaranch. He is the son of the former ILO president who named his name.

Samaranch SNR was president of the ILO for 21 years between 1980 and 2001, while his son was an active member of the ILO for two decades.

He is well known in the ILO policy and is known among the electorate and is considered very much as a front runner with CEE.

Other candidates include HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein From Jordan, David Lappartient of France that is president of UCI – Cycling Global Administrative Corps and Morinari watanabe from Japan.
