Olympic Games IOC President Warns of Problem Types: Olympic Status of Weightlifting, Boxing and Modern Pentathlon in Danger

International German chairman of the Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach warned that the problem movement in the Olympic movement was in danger of falling off the race program.

Bach spoke about his views at a press conference following the three-day meeting of the IOC Board, AFP news agency reported on Thursday night.

According to Bach, weightlifting, boxing and modern pentathlon are at stake. The president called boxing and weightlifting real children.

“The International Boxing Federation needs to show that it has addressed concerns about its governance, financial transparency and the integrity of the judiciary,” Bach said.

The leadership of the International Weightlifting Federation, for its part, must show the Olympic movement an effective change in its operating culture. Bach clarified that he meant the issue of doping.

Modern the pentathlon has been in the eye of the storm since the Tokyo Olympics.

The treatment of horses raised a global stir when the German Annika Schleu hit a horse named Saint Boy several times with a whip because the horse refused to jump an obstacle.

Coach Kim Raisner then hit the horse with his fist.

The modern pentathlon is still on the Olympic program in Paris in 2024, but after that, the sport’s position in the five-ring tournament will be open.

According to Bach, a modern pentathlon must replace riding with another sport, cut costs, and increase the attraction of the sport to the general public.

British newspaper The Guardian said in early November that cycling would be replacing riding in the sport. The magazine had received its information about the insiders of the species.

In Tokyo According to Bach, skateboarding, climbing and surfing, which are related to the Olympic family, will also be involved in Los Angeles in 2028.

Bach said the state of affairs of the IOC board was in the race program for the survival of the species he called youth-focused.

“The IOC recognized the deep roots of these species in Los Angeles and California,” the chairman added.

According to Bach, the International Football Association’s plans for a biennial World Cup could drive Fifa to a collision course with the IOC. So far, however, Fifa has not communicated its plans to the IOC.
