Former international footballer, Adegoke Adelabu, has described the emergence of Zimbabwe’s Sports Minister and double Olympic swimming champion, Kirsty Coventry, as new president of the International Olympics Committee (IOC) as “groundbreaking” not only for Africa, but the entire sporting world.
ICC chairman Jay Shah recently met FIFA president Gianni Infantino during the 144th IOC Session at Costa Navarino in Greece. Infantino, who heads football's world global governing body, posted about the meeting on Instagram. "It was my pleasure to meet ICC Chair and a fantastic administrator Jay Shah! Having visited India, including during the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, I'am aware of the incredible passion the people there have for cricket and the outstanding work Jay Shah has done to further grow the game," Infantino wrote.
Newly-elected International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry was expectedly guarded on India's bid to stage the 2036 Games, saying she will reveal her "ideas" on the selection of future host in coming days. The 41-year-old Coventry was elected president of the IOC on Thursday to become the first woman and first African to get the biggest job in world sports. Asked if there is any chance of India's bid to be converted to "accelerated targeted dialogue" before incumbent president Thomas Bach leaves office on June 23, Coventry said, "At the end of the day there is a process in place and that process is ongoing and that will remain, as far as I know, for the next few months." "I do think that we need to involve the members in the selection of future host and I have few ideas and may be willing to share those, may be next week," she said at the press conference after her election.
