If the current president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, leaves his post, then, according to Match TV presenter and commentator Dmitry Guberniev, it is possible that he will be replaced by someone even less favorable , for example the President of the World Athletics Association (World Athletics) Sebastian Coe. Under his leadership, according to Guberniev, the situation for Russian athletes could worsen.

Thomas Bach has been IOC President since 2013, with the next elections scheduled for 2025. Previously, Russian Olympic Committee President Stanislav Pozdnyakov called Sebastian Coe the sports world’s most famous Russophobe.
