At a Greek resort surrounded by 131 infinity pools, six waterslides and a golf course designed by Bernhard Langer, Sebastian Coe is taking aim at a fourth Olympic triumph – but his path to victory is narrow
Great that Coe lost. This means that British dopers won't be protected.
Quickly, test the Rio samples before they expire!
This is quite the take. By all accounts, Coe is just about the LEAST corrupt IOC member around. In fact, his efforts towards fair play as head of World Athletics are known to have ruffled IOC feathers, and could be the reason he lost.

"least corrupt"? Do you really think everybody else is worse? Scary thought, tbh.
We get Thomas Bach’s hand picked successor. The corruption continues!
African (albeit a white African), woman, sports minister in a regime known for oppression and internal corruption. It’s almost the perfect marriage of DEI + status quo cronyism.
Hope so. And hopefully the new head of World Athletics will finally ban Kenya, although more likely be even more lenient.
Rest assured, Coventry will address your Kenya concerns. The new IOC president has "zero tolerance for doping, corruption and unethical behaviour." She says so right here in her candidature document.

No worries mates, the swimmer from Zimbabwe will clean things up. Anti-corruption efforts surè to benefit from youthful African leadership.

Well, isn't the 'corrupt' smear against Coe regarding the fact that he knew Diack was dodgy but didn't say anything (probably realizing that if he spoke up, his own chance of replacing him and fighting against corruption and doping would be gone)?
I'd say that the guy who banned Russia and implemented the seemingly impossible in cleaning up Kenyan athletics (to a great an extent as is likely possible) is less corrupt than the guy who took bribes to cover up doping cases.
Hopefully Coe will take a harder line against Kenya and the rest going forward, now that he doesn't have to worry about corrupt African voting politics.

Sounds, other than being female, that Musk (SA) had a hand in this - although Trump should have been (as leader of the world) consulted. Wasn't a great slate of candidates, why was no American on the list? Trump needs to disavow this (for the female only) and insert his own candidate or make the LA Olympics (his OG) a hell-hole for the rest of the world.
