“I don’t see anything positive in Bach’s departure and I don’t know who will run for the post of IOC president. It seems that every new IOC president turns out to be worse than the previous one in relation to Russia. For example, Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr. – how did he help us? He has been a member of the IOC for a long time, but he does nothing for us and does not support Russia in its vote. Their opinion depends on instructions from above. I will not comment on anything else. All of them have been in the IOC for a long time and none of them has ever said anything positive about us,” Vyalbe quotes RIA Novosti Sport as saying.
Let us recall that Thomas Bach, 70, IOC President since 2013, has declared that he will not seek a new mandate. The elections for the new IOC President will take place in March 2025.
