COSTA NAVARINO, Greece — After the stunning election win comes the sober business of leading the International Olympic Committee for Kirsty Coventry. The first woman president elected in the IOC's 131-year history began Friday in a breakfast meeting with Thomas Bach in Greece to start their transition. The formal handover is on Olympic Day, June 23. They agreed Coventry will take precedence in major IOC decisions in the next three months. The 41-year-old sports minister of Zimbabwe will soon resign her government position. She plans to move with her family in April to the Olympic home city, Lausanne in Switzerland. Here's a look at some of the issues ahead.
