USOPC statement on the election of IOC president Kirsty Coventry
by USOPC
We celebrate Kirsty’s election as president of the IOC and eagerly anticipate collaborating with her as she steers the Olympic Movement into the future. As an Olympian and a dedicated IOC member, Kirsty has demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing global sport and creating opportunities for athletes.
As we look forward to a transformative decade of Olympic and Paralympic sport in the United States—welcoming the Games back in 2028 and 2034—a robust partnership with the IOC will be essential. We are confident that under Kirsty’s leadership, the IOC will provide the stability and support necessary to achieve our shared goals.
