Luzon: Seven candidates who are hopeful, experience, integrity and today’s youth have bid seven candidates to become the next president of the International Olympic Committee to deliver their fellow members on Thursday.

They seek the majority of seven 100 members to choose them and to make Thomas Batch as the most powerful individual of the global game, in a vote on March 20 in Costa Narno, Greece. –

All the candidates are impressive CVs. Two of them, Britone Sebastian and Zimbabwe’s Christie Country, the Olympic gold medalist and successful organizers have since retired from the competition.

Bach with 12 -year -old riots withdrew, which included the Russian doping scandal in the Sochi Winter Games in 2014 and the Russian doping scandal in the attack on Russia’s Ukraine.

Although the Coventry will be the first woman and African to lead the Olympic Movement, Geoan Antonio Samarnach Junior is also trying to make history by following the same name, which has been president from 1980 to 2001.

“I hope it is neither help nor a hindrance,” Samnch said about his father.

“He left the office years ago and his inheritance personally praised me very much.

“However, its recipes are no longer relevant.”

Samnich, though, has developed a lot of experience within the movement.

This was something in which 65 -year -old Spaniard members wanted to emphasize the media after offering their offers behind closed doors and where no question was allowed.

“I have more than 25 years within the organization, the experience of revenue and help organize Beijing Winter Games during Covade,” he said. “So I have the experience of providing results under real pressure.

“I know the job and know how the administration works.”

Coventry kept the suggestions aside, saying that he was a favorite candidate for Bach, saying that he respected them all and would not vote.

Two times the Olympic swimming gold medalist remembered how he saw his gold medal in 2004 about the effects of his compatriots.

The 41 -year -old said, “I returned to Zimbabwe, which was very discriminatory and divided at the time, but it created peace for four days.”

“I got to see the power of the game and that’s why I was standing before (members) today.”

He asked for his part that he feels very privileged and very honored when he is a small part of the Olympic Movement. “

The 68 -year -old has a total of 1500 meters gold medalist to engage with young people.

“The biggest challenge is that we all have to engage and engage with young people,” he said.

He said it would be important because it is a party that is eventually going to become a future sponsor, thinking leader and politician.

“We need to have a lifetime relationship with this group of people.”

The head of the International Cycling Federation, the French David Liprint, has been considered as a dark horse.

With the 2028 Olympics in the United States and the winter games of 2034, 51 -year -old youths wanted to emphasize that they would remain with US President Donald Trump on the status of IOC. “Sovereignty and political neutrality.”

The United States is currently withholding financing the World Anti -Doping Authority (WADA), but Prince Fayeel Hussein defended him strongly.

Jordan said, “I don’t have to comment on US policies.

“We (IOC) are the institutions that helped Wada stay and I think they are doing a wonderful job.” While the prince focused on integrity, this message for his boss Johan Eliasch was one of hope.

“I hope anything is possible,” said a 62 -year -old Anglo -Swedish environment expert.

“We never need much hope in the world of division and interruption.”

Japan’s Gymnastics Federation President Mourinari Watnabe, like the prince, bid to become the first Asian president of the IOC, which is based on the Olympics held in the five continents, even said it was “crazy”. Is
