Each new IOC head is worse than the previous one, Vyalbe said

MOSCOW, August 12, Vasily Bogdanov. The head of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe said that she does not expect positive changes in the Olympic movement with the change of the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
IOC head Thomas Bach announced on August 10 that he would not run for another presidential term.
«Well, I decided not to run — and that's it. Practice shows that each subsequent head of the IOC is worse than the previous one,» Vyalbe said.
At the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai in October 2023, a number of IOC members proposed changing the Olympic Charter to allow Bach to serve a third term as president. The IOC presidential election will take place in March 2025.
