Alfons Hörmann, the president of the German Olympic Committee (DOSB), can sleep peacefully. Unless there is an unlikely turnaround, he will be elected on December 1, 2018 in Düsseldorf for a new mandate. At 58, the former president of the German Ski Federation should be the only candidate for his own succession. Thomas Weikert, the president of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), announced as a possible competitor, ultimately decided not to appear. At the same time, the German sports federations approved by a very large majority last week the campaign of Alfons Hörmann for the presidency of the DOSB.
