Samaranch Lays Out A Modernizing Vision For The IOC Presidency
Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr: International Olympic Committee (IOC) presidential candidate Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr. has declared his desire to modernize the Olympic Movement while safeguarding its core values. Samaranch's manifesto is built around six core pillars, emphasizing governance, sustainability, athlete welfare and inclusivity, as well as a call to refine the host city selection process.
"The members have to regain the power to decide on which cities organize the Games," Samaranch told Xinhua during his visit to Harbin for the ongoing Asian Winter Games. "The members should be able to participate in the design and the discussion on the main policies of the IOC, and that is done better through more positive IOC sessions."
By empowering IOC members to have greater authority in decision-making and providing robust technical support to candidate cities, Samaranch envisions a more transparent selection process that ensures the Games' legacy aligns with the IOC's core principles, reports Xinhua.
