A broader look at today’s business
MUMBAI, India—International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach was urged by its members on Sunday to change Olympic rules on term limits and seek four more years as president.
The Olympic movement needed “to go through this period of torment with a president who has proved his mettle,” African sports leader Mustapha Berraf said. “I cannot hide how that went straight to my heart,” Bach told IOC members of their praise at its annual meeting being held in Mumbai.“I’m very loyal to the Olympic Charter,” the German lawyer said. “Being a co-author of this Olympic Charter drives me to be even more loyal.”
Coe turns 70 in September 2026, the year his IOC membership should expire, and a 2025 election should be his only option.
