Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Bach

If you were to look up the words 'Olympic legend' in the dictionary, chances are you would find a photo of Australian cyclist Anna Meares. The four-time Olympian won six Olympic medals across her stellar career, including two gold, and has gone on to become one of the most respected figures in Australian sports administration after her role as the Chef de Mission for the Australian Olympic Team at the Paris Olympics in 2024. Today we are joined by Anna to go over her legendary career, from how a fly nearly cost her an Olympic gold medal in Athens, right through to THAT race in London and her experiences carrying the flag for Australia in Rio. We also get an insight into her post-Olympic career, find out what it is like to hang out with Thomas Bach and find out what perks you get once you have an entire building named after you. It's an incredible chat with an incredible guest that you simply can't miss! 

Kirsty Coventry Takes Over IOC Presidency from Thomas Bach at Handover Ceremony

Olympic history at the IOC: Thomas Bach passes presidency to Kirsty Coventry On Olympic Day, which takes place on 23 June each year to commemorate the founding of the modern Olympic Games in 1894 based on the initiative by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Bach symbolically passed the key for Olympic House from one Olympic champion to another in a moment of historical significance. Coventry, a double Olympic champion in swimming from Zimbabwe (2004, 2008), was elected as the 10th IOC President at the 144th IOC Session this March in Olympia, Greece. She is the first woman and the first African ever to hold the IOC's highest office and has been elected for a term of eight years. The key, designed by Spanish artist André Ricard, who also created the torch of the Olympic Games Barcelona 1992 and the Olympic fire crucible at the Olympic Museum, was first passed during the handover from Juan Antonio Samaranch to Jacques Rogge in 2001. More than 700 assembled guests – including IOC Members, athletes, Olympic Movement representatives, delegates from international organisations, political leaders and IOC staff – witnessed an emotional ceremony. When the key was handed over, the audience rose for a standing ovation. A standing ovation also followed when Thomas Bach received the Olympic Order in Gold from Kirsty Coventry. The Olympic Order is the highest honour granted by the International Olympic Committee to individuals who have rendered outstanding services to the Olympic cause through their contribution to the Olympic Movement.

International Olympic Committee Pres. Thomas Bach Mourns Death of Pope Francis

Le donne? Lui non le avrebbe mai volute vedere non solo come dirigenti, ma persino come atlete in gara ai giochi Olimpici! Beh, quasi due secoli dai tempi di Pierre De Coubertin, il creatore delle Olimpiadi moderne, non sono però passati invano! Basti pensare che il Comitato Olimpico Internazionale, di fatto il governo dello sport mondiale, il 20 marzo ha eletto (per la prima volta nella storia) come sua nuova presidente proprio una donna, per di più giovane (appena 41 anni), africana (è nata in Zimbabwe) ed ex atleta (plurimedagliata olimpica e mondiale nel nuoto): Kirsty Coventry, che succede così al tedesco Thomas Bach.Quale il significato di questa scelta rivoluzionaria? Come ci si è arrivati? E quali le sfide che la nuova presidente dovrà affrontare per non far perdere allo sport mondiale la rotta nella tempesta geopolitica contemporanea?Ne parliamo oggi a Olympia con il professor Nicola Sbetti, docente di storia dell'educazione fisica e dello sport all' università di Bologna, e membro della Società Italiana di Storia dello Sport, e con Manuela Di Centa, vincitrice di due ori, due argenti e tre bronzi olimpici nello sci di fondo, nominata nel 1996 nella commissione atleti del Coni e nel 1998 nella stessa commissione del Cio, di cui è stata membro per oltre un decennio e di cui è ancora oggi membro onorario.

It's a bumper Spotlight in a bumper week of big sports news. To cover it comprehensively, Ross & Gareth are joined by Sean Ingle of The Guardian to discuss the election of Kirsty Coventry to lead the International Olympic Committee. We explore her path to victory, enabled by Thomas Bach's support, and how she might lead the organization through looming challenges, including the integrity of the IOC's bid/host city selection process, and women's sport. On the subject of women's sport, Sean also chats to us about World Athletics' announcement that it will introduce pre-clearance screening for athletes wishing to be eligible for the women's category. It's a move that forms part of Sebastian Coe's declaration to 'doggedly' defend women's sport. We explore how sex screening works, and issues it may raise, and solve.We then shift to cycling to discuss a remarkable Milan-San Remo performance by Tadej Pogacar, showcasing superiority and versatility not seen in cycling for a very long time.

Zimbabwean Kirsty Coventry is the first woman and first African to be elected as president of the International Olympic Committee in its 130-year history. At 41, the former swimmer turned politician is also set to become the youngest person ever to hold perhaps the most influential position in global sport.In this episode, SportsPro's Michael Long, Sam Carp and Ed Dixon reflect on the vote that saw Coventry, a former Olympic gold medallist in the pool, make history by defeating her rivals in a landslide. The trio also discuss the state of the IOC she inherits in the wake of Thomas Bach's departure and what the future holds for the ever-evolving Olympic movement.Key talking points:• How the presidential vote went down• What skills and experience Coventry brings to the presidency• Bach's tenure and the commercial health of the Olympic brand• Where Coventry stands on the big issues, such as athlete compensation and gender eligibility• What comes next for the IOC and wider Olympic movement

Kirsty Coventry was elected as the 10th president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Thursday, making history as the first woman and the first African to lead the global Olympic movement.柯丝蒂・考文垂于上周四当选为国际奥林匹克委员会（国际奥委会）第 10 任主席，成为领导全球奥林匹克运动的首位女性和首位非洲人，创造了历史。The election was conducted through a secret ballot by over 100 IOC members during the 144th IOC Session in Greece. The 41-year-old, who won the vote in the first round, will officially take office after June 23, succeeding Thomas Bach, who has served as president since 2013.此次选举在希腊举行的国际奥委会第 144 届全会期间，由 100 多名国际奥委会委员通过无记名投票进行。这位 41 岁的女性在第一轮投票中胜出，她将在 6 月 23 日后正式就职，接替自 2013 年起担任主席的托马斯・巴赫。"An extraordinary moment. As a 9-year-old girl, I never thought that I would be standing up here one day, getting to give back to this incredible movement of ours," Coventry said after her name was announced by Bach.“这是一个非凡的时刻。在我 9 岁的时候，我从未想过有一天我会站在这里，能够回报我们这个令人难以置信的运动。” 在巴赫宣布她当选后，考文垂说道。In the first round of voting, a total of 97 valid ballots were cast since IOC members from a candidate's National Olympic Committee (NOC) were not eligible to vote. Coventry received 49 votes, securing the majority from the valid votes needed for the election. Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr. finished second with 28 votes.在第一轮投票中，由于来自候选人所在国家奥林匹克委员会（NOC）的国际奥委会委员没有投票资格，共投出了 97 张有效选票。考文垂获得了 49 票，在选举所需的有效选票中获得了多数票。小胡安・安东尼奥・萨马兰奇以 28 票位居第二。"Congratulations to Kirsty Coventry on her election as the 10th IOC president. I warmly welcome the decision of the IOC members and look forward to strong cooperation, particularly during the transition period. There is no doubt that the future for our Olympic movement is bright and that the values we stand for will continue to guide us through the years to come," Bach said.“祝贺柯丝蒂・考文垂当选国际奥委会第 10 任主席。我热烈欢迎国际奥委会委员们的这一决定，并期待着紧密合作，特别是在过渡时期。毫无疑问，我们奥林匹克运动的未来是光明的，我们所秉持的价值观将在未来的岁月里继续指引着我们。” 巴赫说道。Coventry's presidency is set for an eight-year term, with the possibility of seeking a four-year extension.考文垂的任期为八年，且有可能寻求延长四年。"It is a reminder of my commitment to every single one of you that I will lead this organization with so much pride, with the values at the core. And I will make all of you very very proud and hopefully extremely confident in the decision that you've taken today," she added.“这提醒着我对你们每一个人的承诺，我将怀着无比的自豪，以核心价值观来领导这个组织。我会让你们所有人都非常非常骄傲，并且希望你们对今天所做出的决定充满信心。” 她补充道。A former Olympic swimming champion, Coventry is one of Africa's most decorated athletes, having won seven Olympic medals, including two golds. She has been an IOC member since 2013 and also served as chair of the IOC Athletes' Commission, where she played a crucial role in advocating for athletes' rights and welfare.考文垂曾是奥运游泳冠军，是非洲获得荣誉最多的运动员之一，共赢得过 7 枚奥运奖牌，其中包括 2 枚金牌。自 2013 年起她就是国际奥委会委员，还曾担任国际奥委会运动员委员会主席，在倡导运动员权利和福利方面发挥了关键作用。Coventry's campaign for the presidency focused on modernizing the Olympic movement, enhancing youth engagement, and strengthening the role of athletes within the IOC's decision-making processes.考文垂竞选主席的活动重点在于使奥林匹克运动现代化、加强青年参与度，以及强化运动员在国际奥委会决策过程中的作用。She has also emphasized the importance of digital transformation to make the Games more accessible and relevant to younger audiences, as well as sustainability efforts to ensure that the Olympic Games remain environmentally and financially viable.她还强调了数字化转型的重要性，以使奥运会更便于年轻观众参与并与之产生关联，同时也强调了可持续发展方面的努力，以确保奥运会在环境和经济上都能持续可行。Coventry has served as Zimbabwe's Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts, and Recreation since 2018, where she has focused on developing grassroots sports initiatives and enhancing opportunities for young people across the country to engage in sports.自 2018 年以来，考文垂一直担任津巴布韦青年、体育、艺术和娱乐部长，在此期间她专注于发展基层体育项目，并增加全国年轻人参与体育活动的机会。重点词汇：president：[ˈprezɪdənt]，名词，意为 “主席；总统；校长；董事长” ，文中指国际奥委会主席。election：[ɪˈlekʃn]，名词，意为 “选举；推选；当选”。athlete：[ˈæθliːt]，名词，意为 “运动员；体育健儿”。sustainability：[səˌsteɪnəˈbɪləti]，名词，意为 “可持续性；可持续发展” 。

Retour sur l'élection hier jeudi de Kirsty Coventry à la tête du Comité international olympique. La double championne olympique de natation zimbabwéenne l'a emporté dès le premier tour (avec un total de 49 voix sur 97 votes exprimés) et s'est imposée face à six autres candidats. Comment a-t-elle été élue, pourquoi, et qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour l'Afrique ? Jean-Loup Chappelet est professeur émérite à l'Université de Lausanne. Grand spécialiste du mouvement olympique, il répond aux questions de Christophe Jousset. RFI : Vous observez la vie du mouvement olympique depuis plus de 50 ans. Quelle a été votre réaction en apprenant la victoire de Kirsty Coventry ? Jean-Loup Chappelet : Ça a été un peu une surprise, effectivement, parce qu'avec sept candidats, tout le monde attendait plusieurs tours de scrutin et elle a gagné au premier tour au-delà de la majorité absolue, c'est quand même un exploit. Et c'est une très bonne nouvelle, je trouve, pour le CIO, pour toutes sortes de raisons.On citait deux favoris supposés Juan Antonio Samaranch Junior, qui obtient 28 voix, Sebastian Coe se contente de huit voix… La surprise est effectivement considérable ?Oui, Sebastian Coe était vu comme un favori surtout par les médias et les médias britanniques, en particulier, parce qu'il a fait une campagne orientée sur les médias et sur les réseaux sociaux. Mais ceux qui votent, ce ne sont pas les journalistes, ce ne sont pas les gens qui regardent les réseaux sociaux, ce sont les membres du CIO. Et il y a la moitié des membres qui sont des femmes aussi. Et il y a une incontestable poussée des athlètes parmi les membres et des personnes assez jeunes aussi. Je pense que l'âge a joué un rôle. Autrefois, pour être président du CIO, il fallait avoir environ 60 ans. Aujourd'hui, Kirsty Coventry a 41 ans.On continue de voir le CIO comme un mouvement plutôt conservateur. On se trompe ? Oui, je pense que depuis longtemps, le CIO a évolué. On n'est plus au temps de Coubertin, on est au XXIᵉ siècle et au XXIᵉ siècle, le pouvoir des athlètes est de plus en plus important. Kirsty Coventry a quand même gagné sept médailles, dont deux d'or, ce qui fait d'elle la première présidente du CIO qui est autant médaillée.Quel a été le poids du soutien du président sortant Thomas Bach dans la victoire de Kirsty Coventry, selon vous ? Je pense qu'il a été essentiel. Je pense qu'il a déjà incité Kirsty Coventry à être candidate, en tant qu'athlète, en tant que présidente de la Commission des athlètes à un moment donné, en tant qu'africaine aussi. Je pense qu'il a favorisé cette candidature parce qu'il y a vu un plus pour le CIO, un coup de jeune, si j'ose dire, pour le CIO.On dit que Kirsty Coventry avait le programme le moins concret des sept candidats, elle a été habile ?Je ne crois pas que ce soit vrai. Il y a des choses très intéressantes dans ces manifestes. C'est sûr que présider le CIO doit tenir compte des évolutions de la société et des changements. Et on ne peut pas prendre de position absolue sans tenir compte de ce qui se passe dans le monde. Par exemple, l'élection de Donald Trump aux États-Unis, parce que le premier défi de la présidente du CIO, ça sera d'avoir des Jeux olympiques en 2028 à Los Angeles et de gérer la question des athlètes féminines. Le président des États-Unis tient à ce que, à juste titre d'ailleurs, des femmes puissent participer à la catégorie féminine.À propos de l'accès des athlètes transgenres aux Jeux olympiques de Los Angeles, Kirsty Coventry a dit « Nous ne dérogerons pas à nos valeurs de solidarité ». C'est un bras de fer qui s'annonce avec Donald Trump ?Je ne pense pas. La solidarité, elle doit être avec les athlètes qui sont femmes, c'est-à-dire qui sont biologiquement avec le chromosome X X. Et ça, c'est quand même la première solidarité pour que ces athlètes puissent concourir de façon sûre et avoir une chance de gagner une médaille.C'est la première fois que l'Afrique se retrouve à la tête du Comité international olympique. Est-ce que pour 2036, qui sont les prochains Jeux d'été à attribuer, ça peut être décisif ? Ça peut être une première pour l'Afrique ?Ça peut l'être, mais c'est loin d'être certain parce qu'il n'y a pas pour l'instant de candidature africaine aux Jeux de 2036. Alors peut être la décision d'aujourd'hui créera des candidatures, par exemple en Afrique du Sud, par exemple au Maroc ou ailleurs en Afrique. Mais il y a aussi des candidatures en Asie et il y a une rotation des continents. Après donc l'Europe avec Paris 2024, les Etats-Unis avec Los Angeles 2028, l'Australie avec Brisbane 2032, ça peut être aussi le tour de l'Asie ou de l'Afrique.À lire aussiKirsty Coventry, une vie consacrée au sport

Die voormalige Olimpiese swemmer Kirsty Coventry is verkies as die 10de president van die Internasionale Olimpiese Komitee, die eerste Afrikaan en eerste vrou om die pos te beklee. Die Zimbabwiese minister van Sport en sewemalige Olimpiese medaljewenner is tydens die 144ste IOK-sitting in Griekeland verkies. Sy sal amptelik by Thomas Bach oorneem op Olimpiese Dag op 23 Junie, en toesig hou oor die Milano Cortina 2026 Winterspele as haar eerste groot byeenkoms. Coventry het na haar verkiesing by 'n perskonferensie gepraat.

Zwölf Jahre war Thomas Bach Präsident des Internationalen Olympischen Komitees (IOC). Zur Nachfolgerin wurde Kirsty Coventry aus Simbabwe gewählt. Sie übernimmt ein schwieriges Erbe. In Deutschland für sein Kuscheln mit Autokraten kritisiert, fällt Bachs persönliche Bilanz positiv aus: die Olympischen Spiele seien beliebt wie nie, das IOC finanziell gut aufgestellt. Doch bei den Themen Doping, Korruption oder Nachhaltigkeit gibt es auch viel Kritik.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta sexta-feira (21/03/2025): Em resposta a um questionamento do Tribunal de Justiça de Sergipe, a Corregedoria do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ) definiu que os penduricalhos pagos pelas Cortes a magistrados podem chegar ao limite de R$ 46,3 mil mensais – o valor corresponde à remuneração dos ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), o teto salarial do serviço público. É a primeira vez que o CNJ estabelece um limite para os extras que engordam contracheques de juízes e desembargadores. Em nota, o CNJ informou que a decisão não tem “efeitos vinculantes”, mas deve “inspirar a adoção de providências idênticas por todos os tribunais”. Na prática, a decisão que limita o valor dos penduricalhos abre caminho para que os tribunais brasileiros adotem um teto para remuneração dos magistrados de R$ 92,6 mil mensais. E mais: Economia: Orçamento é aprovado com um superávit inflado e mais emendas Política: STF decide que mídia só pode ser punida por entrevista em caso de dolo Internacional: Hamas lança foguetes contra Israel, que amplia operação na Faixa de Gaza Metrópole: Fala de Lewandowski acende disputa entre polícia e Judiciário sobre prisões Esportes: Kirsty Coventry é eleita e se torna a primeira mulher a presidir o COISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La France accueillera l'édition hivernale des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques, en 2030. L'occasion rêvée d'entretenir la flamme enchantée des Jeux d'été de Paris 2024 ? Cela reste à prouver : à moins de cinq ans de l'échéance, de très nombreux obstacles se dressent sur la route des organisateurs.Aux commandes de ce vaste chantier : Edgar Grospiron, tout juste nommé à la tête du Comité d'organisation des Alpes 2030. L'ancien skieur de bosses a remplacé au pied-levé Martin Fourcade, le biathlète n'ayant pu « [se] résoudre à sacrifier [ses] convictions » pour endosser ce projet. Ces Jeux sont critiqués pour leur empreinte carbone manifeste, dans un territoire pourtant durement frappé par l'accélération du réchauffement climatique.En plus de l'enjeu climatique, s'ajoutent les questions de financement – les Jeux d'hiver étant structurellement déficitaires – et de la gouvernance, partagée entre acteurs sportifs et politiques. Comment les organisateurs ont-ils prévu de relever ces nombreux défis ? Edgar Grospiron est-il l'homme de la situation ?

The oldest living Olympic champion, Ágnes Keleti, has passed away at the age of 103. Born in Budapest, she was not only an outstanding gymnast with a total of ten Olympic medals, including five gold medals, but also a survivor of the Holocaust. Keleti, who resumed her career after the Second World War, celebrated her greatest successes at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne. There she won six medals, four of them gold. IOC President Thomas Bach honored them as a symbol of determination and courage, whose legacy goes far beyond sport. - Die älteste lebende Olympiasiegerin, Ágnes Keleti, ist im Alter von 103 Jahren verstorben. Die gebürtige Budapesterin war nicht nur eine herausragende Turnerin mit insgesamt zehn Olympiamedaillen, darunter fünf Goldmedaillen, sondern auch eine Überlebende des Holocausts. Keleti, die ihre Karriere nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wieder aufnahm, feierte ihre größten Erfolge bei den Olympischen Spielen 1956 in Melbourne. Dort gewann sie sechs Medaillen, vier davon in Gold. IOC-Präsident Thomas Bach würdigte sie als Symbol für Entschlossenheit und Mut, deren Vermächtnis weit über den Sport hinausreicht.

España suspira de nuevo con la posibilidad de recuperar la voz de mando en el Comité Olímpico Internacional 23 años después de la salida de Juan Antonio Samaranch. Thomas Bach dejará la presidencia el próximo año y ya son siete los aspirantes que se han postulado como candidatos, entre ellos un Juan Antonio Samaranch hijo que está a un paso ahora de coger el histórico testigo de su padre. Samaranch Salisachs, actual vicepresidente del COI, ha explicado en 'El Larguero' sus motivaciones para presentarse a un cargo de tal entidad. Su posible elección alimenta además el sueño de volver a traer unos Juegos Olímpicos a suelo español, como ya consiguiese su padre en Barcelona '92.

In this episode, the International Olympic Committee's first Director of Marketing, Michael Payne, returns to the podcast to examine the legacy of outgoing IOC President Thomas Bach, the IOC members who are potential presidential candidates, the main challenges and priorities for the next IOC President, and whether the IOC's new bidding guidelines will lead to Olympic hosting monopolisation by developed nations with established sporting infrastructure. ----------------

*) Netanyahu visit sparks wave of protests in DC, with all sides criticising the Israeli PM The arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has touched off a flurry of protests in the US capital, including a sit-in at a congressional office building that ended with multiple arrests. Some of the demonstrations have condemned Israel but others have expressed support while pressuring Netanyahu to strike a ceasefire deal and bring home the hostages. Dozens of protesters rallied outside his hotel Monday evening, and on Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of demonstrators staged a flash mob-style protest in the Cannon Building, which houses offices of House of Representatives members. *) WHO ‘extremely worried' over possible polio outbreak in Gaza A top WHO official said he was “extremely worried” over possible outbreaks in war-torn Gaza after poliovirus was detected in the sewage. The official warned that communicable diseases could cause more deaths than injuries. But since human samples were yet to be collected, according to the WHO, it remained unclear if anyone was actually infected with the virus. *) Secret Service asks Trump to cancel outdoor rallies: report In a dramatic turn of events, the US Secret Service has thrown a major wrench into former US president Donald Trump's campaign plans following a harrowing assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. According to the Washington Post, the Secret Service has asked Trump's team to stop large outdoor rallies and events, reflecting concerns over the former president's safety. The assassination attempt has prompted the Secret Service to re-evaluate the risks associated with Trump's public appearances. *) Death toll soars to over 200 in Ethiopia landslide Using shovels or their bare hands, local residents searched desperately for survivors after a landslide in a remote area of southern Ethiopia killed at least 229 people. It is reported to be the deadliest disaster recorded in the Horn of Africa nation. So far, 148 men and 81 women are confirmed to have lost their lives after the disaster struck in the Kencho-Shacha locality in the Gofa Zone on Monday. And finally… *) IOC mulls Palestinian call for Israel ban from Paris 2024 The International Olympic Committee has been weighing a Palestinian call for Israeli athletes to be barred from the Games over the war in Gaza, three days before the Opening Ceremony in Paris. As the Israeli Olympic team settled into the Athletes' Village on Tuesday, the IOC was studying a letter sent by the Palestine Olympic Committee to President Thomas Bach. The letter sent on Monday asked him to ban the Israelis, citing the bombings of besieged Gaza as a breach of the Olympic truce.
