SPORTS BAR:
• Zimbabwean Coventry takes over as IOC President
…Focus immediately on 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
…IOC in need of change of marketing strategies
…Former swimmer Coventry has long-standing ties with US
By Karolos Grohmann


Former Zimbabwean swimmer Kirsty Coventry took over the leadership of the International Olympic Committee from Thomas Bach in a ceremony on Monday with the 2028 Los Angeles Games already threatening to fill her in-tray to overflowing.

Coventry, who starts her eight-year spell officially on Tuesday as the most powerful sports administrator in the world, became the first woman and first African to be elected head of the Olympic ruling body in March.

Much of the discussion during campaigning focused on the IOC's need for change in its marketing strategies with several top Olympic sponsors having left in the past 12 months.

However, with Los Angeles hit by protests against immigration raids, and relations tense between state and city officials, and the U.S. government, the 2028 Games have become the major talking point in the movement that would ordinarily be focusing on next year's Milano-Cortina Winter Games.

Coventry has long-standing ties with the United States, dating back to her time as a leading swimmer at Auburn University in Alabama. That will prove useful ahead of LA 2028, and she has said she will seek to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss the Games.

Coventry will also need to find time to help secure the long-term finances of the movement. The IOC, which generates billions of dollars in revenues each year in sponsorship and broadcasting deals for the Olympics, has secured $7.3 billion for 2025-28 and $6.2 billion for 2029-2032. More contracts are expected for both periods.

COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES

Coventry is also expected to continue the IOC's plans to expand commercial opportunities for sponsors at the Olympics with the organisation's finances in a robust state and the privately-funded LA Olympics a good place to start.

Coventry needed only one round of voting to clinch the race to succeed Bach, beating six other candidates, making history for the African continent, with the IOC having been ruled for 131 years by European or North American men.

Her background and being the first female president will be assets in a diverse IOC membership and the international makeup of Olympic stakeholders.

On Monday she was handed the golden key to the IOC by Bach, who was the organisation's president for 12 years.

"I am really honoured I get to walk this journey with you. I cannot wait for anything that lies ahead," Coventry said in her address to IOC members and other Olympic stakeholders.

"I know I have the best team to support me and our movement over the next eight years."

Coventry will hold a two-day workshop this week to get feedback from members on key IOC issues.

"Working together and consistently finding ways to strengthen and keep united our movement that will ensure that we wake up daily... to continue to inspire," she said.

A seven-times Olympic medallist, Coventry won 200m backstroke gold at the 2004 Athens Games and in Beijing four years later.

"With her election, you have also sent a powerful message to the world: the IOC continues to evolve," Bach said in his speech. "With Kirsty Coventry, the Olympic movement will be in the best of hands."

AFN elects new board members as Dikko; Olapade NSC optimistic of Sport growth

By: Sunny Canto


Interestingly, Chief Tonobok Okowa has been re-elected as the President of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), during its Elective Congress held in Abuja on yesterday, 12th June; 2025.

Delta State origin and season Sport administrator: Okowa, the incumbent President was the sole candidate for the highly esteemed office of the Federation as the three other candidates eyeing the prestigious office did not reach the final hurdle.

Former Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence, Retired Commodore Omatseye Nesiama, had tactically and strategically pulled out of the race while another aspirant Constantine Itiako Ikpokpo fondly called Malik was beaten at the South-South Zonal election by a former sprinter, Gabriel Okon.

Sunday Adeleye, who was dreaming of occupying the number one position in Nigerian athletics was eliminated in the North-West Zonal election into the board by Ladan Abubakar Zurmi, who is now the first Vice President of AFN while Akuchukwu Aghazu Chineze, is the second Vice President.

After the election Okowa, said his victory at the polls is for all athletes’ and stakeholders saying: “Elections test our passion, but they must never fracture our athletics family.”

“I pledged to lead inclusively, ensuring every voice is heard as we forge a common ground for Nigerian athletics…my door and my heart is open for collaboration,” Okowa, a Vice President of the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA), stated.

He added that he would be pursuing a four-point agenda in his second tenure this includes aggressive grassroots talent hunt programme and education of our Nigerian athletes.

The slot for the athlete's representative is yet to be decided.

AFN new board members are:

★ Fatima Yusuf Olukoju (NAWIS Representative)
★ Olufemi Sule (North-Central)
★ Lekan Soetan (South-West)
★ Victor Okorie (South-East)
★ Gabriel Okon (South-South)
★ Samuel Onikeku (Military & Para-Miltary Representative)
★ Professor Frank Atare (NAPHERED)
★ Babayo Adamu (North-East)
★ Solomon Aliu (North-West)
★ Chief Tonobok Okowa - President
★ Ladan Abubakar Zurmi - 1st Vice President
★ Akuchukwu Aghazu Chineze - 2nd Vice President

Mallam Shehu Dikko, (Nation Sport Commission) Chairman, said, "We're optimistic for continuous Sport increase and record breaking milestone in Nigeria as in line with the Re-New-Hope-Agenda-Initaitive of President: Ahmed Bola Tinubu; (GCFR) with more grassroots and educational development in our Nation" he add.

National Sports Commission (NSC), Director General Honourable Bukola Olapade, urged the new board to do all they can to reposition Nigerian athletics.

“The ball is now in your court and you must not fail Nigerians in this task of repositioning our track and field.”

Meanwhile, four administrative persons were added to the AFN team.

They are:

✓ Dele Edokapyi - Lega Adviser
✓ Dr. Kolawole Oredipe - Auditor
✓ Dr. Nneka Anibeze - Chief Operating Officer
✓ Babajide Odeseji - Safeguarding Officer

The Performance Director Victor Okorie and the Technical Director of the Federation, Samuel Onikeku, who helped to drive AFN’s policies and programs in the last four years won their election into the board again.

For the next four years both men alongside Gabriel Okon, Fatima Yusuf Olukoju, Olufemi Sule, Lekan Soetan and Solomon Aliu are expected to build on the success story so far, as well as accelerate other new initiatives of the Athletics body.

As Technical Director, Onikeku, is responsible for overseeing the technical aspects of AFN’s operations, including athletes development, coaching, and competitions.

It's interesting and imperative to state that this new AFN board is dominated by former athletes a development which athletics stakeholders consider as a good omen but could turn out to be a two edged sword if they fail to work as a team.

Solomon Aliu, Olalekan Stephen Soetan, Gabriel Okon, Olufemi Sule, Fatima Yusuf Olukoju are part of the new AFN board.

NIS IS CRITICAL TO NSC's VISION, SAYS DIKKO

National Sports Commission Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko has reiterated the importance of the National Institute for Sports (NIS) in the actualization of the Commission's vision to reset, reform and relaunch Nigerian sports. Mallam Dikko spoke while welcoming the newly appointed Director-General of NIS His Excellency Comr. Philip Shuaibu to the NSC Headquarters.

Comr. Shuaibu was at the NSC Headquarters to inform the NSC Chairman of his resumption while both parties held discussions on how to deliver on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR's mandate.

The NSC Chairman applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for the appointment of Comr. Shuaibu.

His words, "I must thank most sincerely President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for once again taking the road less traveled with this appointment. Mr. President is embarking on a reform. He is resetting many sectors including sports so there is need to take decisions that will drive this vision. This (Comr. Shuaibu's appointment) is one of the decisions that will truly support the ongoing reforms in the sports sector ."

He highlighted the pivotal role of NIS in the current sporting dispensation.

"The NIS is key to our vision in the Commission because it will give us the manpower and research needed to accelerate the vision. We are doing things differently because only mad men will keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Therefore it is pleasing that Mr. President has chosen an administrator who has delivered in all his assignments, and now strategically positioned him to turn around the NIS to meet its intended mandate within the sports sector. Mr President has chosen three good friends to hold three critical positions to turn around sports in Nigeria", he said.

Mallam Dikko is optimistic that Comr. Shuaibu will succeed in the assignment.

"All I can say is welcome to the family. You have been part of this family before but now you are a key part of the NSC vision. I am sure Mr. President will be happy at the end of the day because you have always delivered on your assignments beyond expectation. We have to work collectively to deliver on the mandate. We have discussed privately and aligned our visions and thoughts and articulated how we will collectively deliver on the President's mandate", he concluded.

Earlier, Comr. Shuaibu had pledged his commitment to the NSC Chairman to actualize the Presidential mandate.

"I came to tell the NSC Chairman that I have resumed. I have had discussions with him and it is obvious that sports is headed in the right direction in this country. We will work to ensure that the renewed hope vision of the President will be visible in the sporting sector", he enthused.

Emotional Oborududu retires with a gold medal

2021 Tokyo Olympic silver medalist, Blessing Oborududu, has bid emotional goodbye to wrestling after 19 years of active bout on the mat

The 14-time African champion won her final bout to clinch gold for Bayelsa in the ongoing National Sports Festival in Abeokuta and end an illustrious career

The Bayelsa born wrestler received emotional farewell from national teammates with pleasant standing ovation from fans, officials, and wrestling stakeholders

An emotional Blessing Oborududu in her farewell speech "I want to thank everyone who has been part of my journey, the Nigeria Wrestling Federation led by Daniel Igali and the board members, my teammates, and family.

"After the Olympics, I thought of retiring, but the President suggested I retire officially at the National Sports Festival in Abeokuta where I made my first appearance as a young wrestler back in 2006".

"I created a lot of memories, but my most memorable one was the Tokyo Olympics, which ignited hope across Africa because it was the first ever medal from an African woman in wrestling at the Olympics, and I hope more will come for our future wrestlers" Oborududu said.

In goodwill remarks, President Nigeria Wrestling Federation, Honourable Daniel Igali described Oborududu as an exceptional and absolute professional beyond being an athlete.

"The type of Blessing is not easy to come by, and not easy to replace. I get questions like how are you going to replace Blessing, the thing is you can't replace Blessing, you might have another athlete, but not Blessing.

"That's why I say bitter-sweet because the selfish part of you wants athlete like this to compete forever because for you is not just to have any athlete that does well, but one who has that mindset, discipline, pureness for the sport and most of these wrestlers you see stay with her in her house and she takes care of them as a duty. She is like a big sister to them, and that only for me is more than being a champion on the mat." Igali stated.
