Bach refuses to rule out standing again in 2025Coe the only IOC member to hint at a bid for the presidency
Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, has left open the possibility of staying in power, a move that could significantly hurt Sebastian Coe’s chances of replacing him.
Under IOC rules, Bach’s presidency has to end in 2025 because of a 12-year term limit agreed following the Salt Lake City corruption scandal. However on Sunday, several IOC members argued for the Olympic charter to be changed next year to allow Bach to keep going until 2029.
