IOC President Thomas Bach to Step Down in 2025
Aug 10, 2024, 05:25 PM
Thomas Bach, the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has announced that he will step down from his role in 2025 after completing his two terms. Bach, who has been in office since 2013, stated that he will not seek a third term, emphasizing that the Olympics would benefit from a change in leadership. This decision comes despite some IOC members advocating for him to extend his tenure. Bach highlighted the importance of good governance and adherence to the Olympic Charter's term limits. His departure will coincide with the end of his 12-year term, and a new president will be elected in March 2025. Bach's announcement was made at the closing of the 142nd IOC Session in Paris. Speculation about his potential successor includes Seb Coe, who has expressed interest in the role if the opportunity arises.
