FEI President Ingmar De Vos has been re-elected for a second term as a member of the International Olympic Committee. The re-election took place during the 144th IOC Session in Costa Navarino. De Vos was first elected to the IOC in 2017 for an eight-year term.
The session also voted to change the status of Ingmar De Vos' membership from one related to his position as FEI President to one related to his role as President of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF). De Vos was unanimously elected ASOIF President for a four-year term starting on January 1, 2025.
"First and foremost, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the newly elected IOC President, Kirsty Coventry," said FEI President and IOC member Ingmar De Vos. "For the first time in the long history of the IOC, the members have made the historic decision to elect a woman and an African as President. Her election in the first round gives Kirsty Coventry a strong mandate, and I look forward to working with her in the coming years.
"My re-election to the IOC is a great honor. The Olympic Movement is stronger than ever, but we face existential challenges such as climate change and sustainability. Being involved in finding long-term solutions and securing the Olympic legacy for future generations is a serious responsibility, which I welcome. Representing the interests of FEI and ASOIF, which are key Olympic stakeholders, within the IOC is also an important task, and I take this responsibility very seriously," concluded De Vos.
