Africa's Christie Coventry began her term as the first woman president of the International Olympic Committee on Monday. On the occasion of the 131st founding day of the Olympic Committee, the Olympic Movement passed into the hands of women.
This has been interpreted as a safe Olympics in the hands of a woman president.
Coventry itself is a two-time Olympic champion. She achieved this success while representing Zimbabwe. She will officially start her tenure on Tuesday. She was only 41 years old. In the elections held in March, she defeated her 6 opponents and took the place of the current president, Thomas Bach.
He has two daughters. She considers them not only her source of inspiration, but also her enthusiasm to face the toughest situations easily. Coventry will now lead the International Olympic Committee for eight years. Meanwhile, the 2028 San Angeles Olympics will take place.
She shows her 6-year-old daughter Ella and says, "My daughter reminds me every day why I am doing everything." We have to reinvent the Olympic movement. We need change. My daughter will always remind me to do this.' She said that the Olympics are a carrier of hope and change.
President Bach became very emotional as he left his post. And he also claimed that the Olympics had passed into safer hands. Coventry succeeded in winning the presidency as Bach's choice. Bach, a 71-year-old lawyer from Germany, also won a gold medal in fencing in 1976. "I say from my heart, the future of the Olympic movement is beautiful and safe," he added.
