Sir Craig Reedie criticizes IOC election transparency issues

independent.co.uk

Sir Craig Reedie, former vice-president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has criticized the upcoming presidential election for its lack of transparency. The election, set for Thursday in Greece, features seven candidates vying to succeed Thomas Bach. Reedie highlighted the secretive nature of the process, where candidates had only 15-minute presentations without public questions or debates. He believes this approach limits member engagement and fails to showcase the IOC's positive impact on global sports. Lord Coe, a frontrunner for the presidency, echoed Reedie's concerns, calling for more access and transparency in the election process. Both emphasize the need for a more open dialogue among members during this significant election.
