Athletistic/Others. The president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, stressed that it was too early to draw conclusions after discussing his possible candidacy for a third term.

Earlier, Mark Adams, IOC communications director, announced a possible modification of the Olympic Charter in connection with the possible re-election of Thomas Bach for a third term.

“This proposal was not put forward by the IOC Executive Committee, but by the Ethics Committee. You may have seen the statement that was released and is available to everyone.

The Executive Committee has not even discussed this issue. I respect the recommendations of the IOC Ethics Committee, and if they are supported by the decision of the Executive Committee, I will take them into account.

It is therefore now too premature to draw any conclusions or conclusions,” Bach said at a press conference.

In 2021, Bach was re-elected for a four-year term which, according to the rules of the Olympic Charter, should be his last.
