Collaborate, 'Pause & Reflect', IOC president-elect Kirsty's way forward
The Morning Standard
|June 20, 2025
MOTHER. Wife. Friend. Former multiple Olympic champion and now next International Olympic Committee (IOC) president... Kirsty Coventry is all of that and a lot more. She is just days away from taking charge as the most powerful person in the world of sport.
When she takes the reins from Thomas Bach on June 23, she will shatter several glass ceilings as well. She will be the first woman IOC president, first from Africa, the youngest and one of the most decorated sportspersons to hold top office. This is just the beginning of an era. By the time her term ends, she would be hoping to leave a legacy that will not only withstand the ravages of time. The last three months since her election in March had days of briefing and debriefing, and in swimming parlance "a deep dive or a deeper dive into all the information in and around the IOC".
"Bach has been very good in sharing all of his knowledge and expertise and background on all the various topics which has been extremely helpful," she said during an online roundtable with select media. Bach is one of her biggest supports.
