As the race for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) presidency heats up, candidates are highlighting the need for clear gender eligibility policies to address one of the most debated issues in sports today. According to a report by Gretelle Jimenez of Inside the Games, IOC presidential hopefuls are calling for stronger leadership in guiding federations on policies related to the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports.

Candidates gathered in Lausanne, Switzerland on Thursday, where they presented their platforms behind closed doors before engaging with the media in a brief Q&A session. While topics such as sustainability, modernization, and Russia’s participation in global sports were discussed, gender eligibility — one of the most contentious issues in Olympic competition — was specifically addressed to one candidate: Kirsty Coventry.
