It's tennis boss vs taekwondo kingpin
-
The National Olympic Committee of Thailand (NOCT) is set to enter a new era when the presidential election takes place today.
Suchai Pornchaisakudom and Pimol Srivikorn are locked in a battle to govern the direction of the organisation, with the winner succeeding former Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwon, whose reign as NOCT chief ended after his election defeat and subsequent loss of the presidency of the Thailand Aquatics Association last November.
Suchai is currently serving his second term as president of the Lawn Tennis Association of Thailand. His tenure has been marked by efforts to develop players at all levels, organising more local tournaments, securing sponsorships and ensuring Thai players receive opportunities to compete at international events.
