Bach open to calls to stay on as IOC president

Mumbai—International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Monday he would not “dismiss out of hand” recent calls for him to stay in the post past the end of his scheduled term in 2025.

But several Committee members on Sunday urged Bach to stay on during an ongoing IOC session meeting in Mumbai. Bach, whose time in office has been marked by an attempt to make the process of bidding and staging an Olympic Games more streamlined and less expensive, added: “They also wanted to express their recognition for the work accomplished by the IOC in the last 10 years and wanted to show their strong support.”

And he has lately found himself responding to the consequences for the Olympic movement of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—an issue for many international sports federations.
