The terms ofaward of the Olympic and Paralympic Games are not a consensus. If Thomas Bach was pleased to note thatno controversy has accompanied the latest designations,Kirsty Coventry, a candidate for his succession, is not fully convinced. "I think the IOC members should be more involved in this process. They could be informed about the countries selected, ask questions of their promoters and, at the end, decide where they want to see the Games held, she suggests in the columns of L'Equipe. There is a path between the old selection mode and today's model where members are informed by the executive committee but cannot intervene." Overall, the former swimmer believes "that we can do better in terms of collaboration in the future. This is what I take away from my discussions with the members. They have experience and knowledge and would like to use them more. Now is the time to do it."
