IOC President Optimistic About Olympic Movement’s Future Amid Challenges

Despite facing threats from climate change, AI-enhanced doping, and competition from e-sports, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach remains optimistic about the future of the Olympic movement. In an interview at IOC headquarters, Bach highlighted the growing interest in hosting the Games, signalling a positive trend for the organization.

Bach noted that interest in hosting the Olympics has surged, with double-digit numbers of countries vying for the 2036 Games, compared to previous bidding cycles with limited candidates. He attributed this renewed interest to reforms implemented by the IOC under his leadership, which aim to curb wasteful spending and promote sustainability in hosting the Games.

The upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics exemplify these reforms, with around 96 percent of sports events planned to occur in existing or temporary venues, significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to previous editions. However, critics remain sceptical about the Games’ environmental impact, citing their enormity as a significant concern.

Addressing challenges posed by climate change, Bach suggested that future Summer Olympics may need to consider alternative scheduling to mitigate heat-related issues, similar to the 2022 football World Cup in Qatar. Additionally, Bach highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence to assist athletes, although he warned of the risks associated with AI-powered doping.

Regarding the rise of e-sports, Bach acknowledged its growing popularity, particularly among younger audiences, but indicated that e-sports may have their own Olympic event separate from the traditional Games. Despite these challenges, Bach remains optimistic about the Olympic movement’s future, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to adapt and thrive in a changing landscape.
