Back to the future: Coventry's next cheap trick
The IOC presents a handbook for the 2036 Olympic bid, but has yet to provide the most important documents and rules. The greater involvement of IOC members in the selection process emphasised at the June Session has not been implemented. On the contrary, power remains with the Executive Board.

Global sport's crisis isn't just FIFA: the IOC and other Olympic federations were engineered for presidential power
Patrick Nally built world sport's first global sponsorship programmes – and watched Horst Dassler turn commercial control into political power. He says the Infantino affair is not a FIFA but a system problem; the IOC and most federations sit inside the same architecture: presidential-style fiefdoms.
After FIFA Forward Enterprise, the real test begins
By scrapping FFE, Gianni Infantino is trying to save his own skin. The reaction to his plans has been overwhelmingly negative worldwide, and within FIFA itself, a key figure – COO Kevin Lamour – has spectacularly turned his back on him. Infantino must go, but that alone is not enough.
Fake governance at the FIE: two German courts let the word 'corruption' stand
The Olympic fencing federation FIE and its Hamburg lawyer announced a purported legal victory over Reuters to the world. I obtained both court orders and read them against that propaganda. Very little of what the federation and its lawyer claim about these decisions survives the comparison.
