‘I want to pave the way’: IOC elects first woman leader


Costa Navarino (AFP) – Kirsty Coventry became the first woman and first African to be elected president of the International Olympic Committee on Thursday. With Los Angeles hosting the 2028 Olympics, Trump will loom large in her agenda. “I have been dealing with, let’s say, difficult men in high positions since I was 20 years old,” she says, adding that “communication will be key.”
