Athletistic/ Others. Thomas Bach will step down as IOC president next year. He has decided not to run for another term. Sebastian Coe could become the new head of the organization. 2004 Olympic champion Yuri Borzakovsky has spoken about it.

– Coe has been an IOC member since 2020. As far as I understand, it is possible that he will not be allowed to participate in the presidential elections, given that he has been a member of the International Olympic Committee for less than eight years. I cannot say now exactly what policy he will pursue as IOC president, because he must first be elected to it. I do not exclude that Coe, in this position, will continue the same tough policy towards Russian athletes as he did before with our track and field athletes, who were denied participation in the Olympic Games last December,” Borzakovsky was quoted as saying by TASS.
