IOC presidential election: Key questions answered before Thursday’s vote
Lord Co It is the most eye-catching competitor. The 68-year-old Olympic champion, who won two-time Olympic 15 million, oversaw the 2012 London Games before he was in charge of world track and field competitions and bid to become Britain’s first IOC president.
Coe told BBC Sport that he was in good condition on Wednesday and later insisted that he was “motivated”.
“I love the campaign and my discussion,” he added. “I’ve heard a lot of things, I’ve heard about the members’ concerns and what they want to change.
“And I believe my declaration has set the right balance between building over the last 12 years with the fit between purpose and care. It’s an election and I’m enjoying the energy.”
The only other former Olympic athlete among the candidates is another double gold winner, former swimmer Kirsty Coventry. If successful, Zimbabwe’s 41-year-old sports minister will be the first woman, the first African and youngest to make history.
The third of the three forwards is the 65-year-old Spanish businessman Juan Antonio Samaranch. Vice President of the International Olympic Committee. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee such as Coventry and tried to follow in his father’s footsteps, who served as president from 1980 to 2001.
Swedish-born Businessmen and Ski Federation President Johanch Elich, Japanese Molinari Watanabe – Head of the International Gymnastics Federation, Chief of French Bicycle David Lapartient and the Prince of Jordan Feisal al-Hussein It is other competitors.
