Internationally accepted president

Eight days ago the International Olympic committee accepted three new members in Lausanne. These trio are all presidents in their field: of the international tennis federation David Haggerty, of the Japanese Olympic committee Yasuhiro Yamashita (which was also an Olympic winner at judo in 1984), together with the world football federation boss Gianni Infantino. From 79 committee members: 63 were for the 49-year-old, 13 against, while 3 votes was restrained.
In this sport the president of the world football federation is the first representative since 2015, where his predecessor Sepp Blatter had to resign over corruption charges.
