Will the statutes be amended?: Thomas Bach could remain president of the IOC after 2025

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Thomas Bach has been head of the Olympic umbrella organization since 2013 and should resign from his position in 2025, according to the IOC statutes. There is now resistance to this.

Several IOC members called on Sunday at the general meeting in Mumbai for an amendment to the Olympic Charter to allow Bach to serve another term.

Bach has been head of the Olympic umbrella organization since 2013. After an initial eight-year term, he was elected for a further four-year term in accordance with the IOC Statutes. The 1976 Olympic fencing champion should actually leave the post in 2025.

However, the 69-year-old from Würzburg did not explicitly rule out remaining in office, saying: “You know that I am very loyal to the Olympic Charter.”

The IOC Board led by Bach and subsequently the General Assembly would have to decide on a corresponding amendment to the IOC Statutes. The next IOC session is scheduled for shortly before the 2024 Summer Games in Paris. (SDA)
