The article discusses the upcoming election for the presidency of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) set for March 20, 2025. With significant political and diplomatic influence, the election features candidates like Lord Sebastian Coe, vying in a bizarrely secretive environment. IOC rules prevent debates, public endorsements, and open discussions, with presentations limited to 15 minutes to a private audience of about 100 IOC members. The process has raised concerns about transparency, facing criticism for its peculiarities and opacity as it unfolds in Lausanne.
The candidates hoping to become the next president of the International Olympic Committee face a secretive election process that's highly unusual, even among elite organizations.
Under IOC rules, the candidates are prohibited from holding debates, criticizing each other's policies, or receiving public endorsements during this delicate and closed-selection process.
