IOC president plans talks to reinstate Russia in Olympics for 2028
Kirsty Coventry has made history as the first woman and first African president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), elected on March 20. In her new role, she has expressed her intent to open discussions about the potential return of Russia to the Olympic Games, particularly for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Coventry criticized the current practice of banning countries from the Olympics due to conflicts, arguing for a more nuanced approach that considers each situation individually. She plans to establish a taskforce to develop policies that would guide decisions on athlete participation amid conflicts, emphasizing the need to protect athletes and ensure their opportunities. Coventry also highlighted the ongoing conflicts in Africa, suggesting that the IOC's stance should reflect a broader understanding of global issues. The next Winter Olympics are scheduled to take place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in less than 11 months, with the IOC facing pressure regarding the participation of Russian athletes.
