The Greek resort behind closed doors, and the cameras were separated, the members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will select a new president at the 144th session of the organization on Thursday.

The winner among the seven candidates will bring the largest sports organization in the world since June, when President Thomas Bach, who has been the best work since 2013, is pulling aside.

One of the biggest points in the new president's homeless list seems to be checked at the beginning of this week. When ioC announced the new US media transaction with NBCA number

The $ 3 billion deal will last at least 2036, when the Winter Olympics will take place in Salt Lake City. The US Rights deal is a major source of income for the IOC.

But they will have many other issues, international diplomacy and conflict, warm-up environment, sports integrity and sports security issues to make sure that the Olympic Games are more likely to apply to Tik Tok.

Here is the preview of what he is waiting for who runs, and why the Canadians should take care of?

Candidates:

Seven people are fighting for the presidency, and many see Sebastian CoE, Juan Antonio Samarich, younger and Kirsty Covent, as three firstborn.

The Council of Europe, the World Athletics President, the organizer of the four-year Olympic medalist and the London 2012 organizer, cooperates to attract young people, increasing transparency, strengthening the anti-aircraft system, physical and mental well-being.

“The biggest challenge facing the International Olympic Committee is nothing, and it is not unique by the National Olympic Committee, any sports organization, any club, private or society. In January, the Council of Europe told reporters during a short-term question-and-answer question with the media.

“And how do you use, optimize, completely, the use of compensated technology?”

The Council of Europe raised its eyeballs, when it last year, before the Paris Summer Olympics, he stated that gold medalists in Athletics will receive $ 50,000 bonus. Some criticized the move against the spirit of the Olympic GamesA number

The Council of Europe said that he would present “financial welfare” and will make sure that “their investments are justified.” He also promised to create programs that will see that the athletes will receive a piece of “commercial gifts that help them.”

Zimbabwe Coventry is only the second woman who has ever run to the IOC presidency. If he is elected, he will also be the first president of Africa. As a swimmer, Coventry competed in five Olympic games, earning seven medals.

Some see him as a candidate preferred by Bach, although the duplicate is, when the journalist asked about it in January.

“We all have very good relations with him,” he said. “I think he is very fair for all of us in time.”

He also stressed the transparency and modernization in its platform and has been open to some unique challenges facing African athletes. The continent has never hosted the Olympic Games, and the Kovententer is the most decorated Olympics from Africa.

“We need to find more ways to directly influence the athletes and earn income before they become the Olympians,” said the Caucenter to journalists in January.

“It was easy to get sponsored in my journey when I won a medal. Reached that medal that was tough. “

If the name of the Samari seems familiar, this is because his names lead the father in 1980 to 2001. But much since his father's presidency has changed.

“Remember that he joined the Olympic movement more than 60 years ago,” Samaranshan said about his late father.

Young Samarich has been a member of the IOC for more than two decades, including seven years as vice-president. It prompted the journalist to ask him what changes he expects as a president that he could not make the IOC Executive Council for so many years.

He described Bach's Kingdom as full “threats” and “complications”. The Bach's term included Russia's war on the scandal of Ukraine and doping, plus a global epidemic. Samaranch noted that changes must come even faster in the future.

The remaining sphere includes the President of the International Ski and Snowboarding International Federation, Prince Feizal, Chairman of the International Cycling Union, Prince Feizal and Morinar, who led the International Gymnastics Federation.

The Watanabe platform offers what can be the most radical offer of everyone. Praying the games in five cities in five cities to create a round-the-clock global event. According to Vatanab, it will reduce the expense of hosting and can help bring five continents together.

Who votes a vote?

The exclusive membership of the IOC, which includes the leaders of the Olympic Committees and the sports federations from all over the world, and even some royalty, Prince Albert II of Denmark and Monaco, will run only two.

Most of this process took place in the dark. Candidates each had 15 minutes to members During the event held in Switzerland In January, but those performances were closed to the public and were not allowed to shoot. After the performances, the candidates answered the media issues briefly.

Similarly, the voting will take place by secret ballot, on Thursday, at around 15 am in Greece (10 AM).

Only the Canadian is only a member of the IOC. President of the Canadian Olympic Committee (CAC) Trikia Smith. He told CBC Sports, the new president will play a key role in modernizing the Olympic Games, including digital transformation and youth involvement.

“This is a moment that it is necessary to unite us to find new ways to relax, which now feels more important than now in a written statement.

As for what COC looks for in the next president, Smith said that IOC needs a “leader who understands and embody the positive sports environment, then a world safe and comprehensive sports environment.

Problems:

Warming environment can be the biggest challenge next president will stand, and it's 400 athletes around the world 400 athletes urged candidates to prioritize in a letter issued on FridayA number

After the native fires, Los Angeles is in the center of attention as the 2028 Summer Olympics. It will be marked there with the often unpredictable US President Donald Trump. The meeting with Trump should be high in the list of the next president of the IOC, Samaranch reported to Associated Press last weekA number

Meanwhile, Lappartient said to Reuters last week That he will also meet with Trump, but will be left on the American President that the IOC's autonomy must be respected.

During the presence of one media outlets, Russia was asked to meet the Olympic Games and what conditions should be met for it.

Yeghias said that the neutral-athlete program, which allowed the Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete after the demonstration process, which eliminated the athletes to Ukraine or military war.

Al Hussein said he would like to see the whole world at the Olympics.

“It is now the understanding that the exclusion of Russian athletes is based on a violation of the Olympic Charter,” he said. “As the chairman of the IOC, my role and responsibility is to defend the Olympic charter, and as long as no one violates, there is no reason for sanctions. The world is stronger when we are all together.

Some, like the Council of Europe, stressed the need for a “female category to maintain” in its platform. As President of the World Athletics, his organization forbade transgender athletes in 2023 Then this year went a stepOffering changes that will promote the same rules to female athletes who have higher testosterone levels.

Coventry takes such a position. The only female candidate told reporters that the IOC should have a clear policy, and all athletes should feel safe on the field.

Lappartient asked the question through his platform diversity lens.

“This is a difficult issue that needs to rationalally about the need to respect human rights and the need to provide fair competition.

Forming the future of sports

The election takes place thousands of miles away and can feel quite far away for people who play the Olympics every two years.

But the Chairman of the IOC will form how the Olympic Games view and feel in the next decade, and their decisions can determine the future of sports and beyond.

That's why Philip Marcis, a Canadian freestyle skier, who competed at the 2014 and 2018 Olympic Games, believes that this election is important. The next president will make a holiday, he said he and decided everything that can compete at the biggest stage how the Olympic Games will be navigated.

“Everyone, whether they are a high-quality athletic or just rest, I think that sports plays a vital and very important place in people's minds,” said Marcis, who heads the Head of Vican's athletes.
