Jean-Christophe Rolland alone on the track

Rowing

And three. Jean-Christophe Rolland will be re-elected next month for a third consecutive term as president of the International Rowing Federation (World Rowing). Registrations are closed and the Frenchman is the only candidate. Elected for the first time in 2013, against the Canadian Tricia Smith and the Australian John Boultbee, Jean-Christophe Rolland succeeded the Swiss Denis Oswald, who did not stand for re-election. Four years later he was re-elected, but this time unopposed. Jean-Christophe Rolland, who joined the IOC in his capacity as president of World Rowing, will therefore still be at the head of the body for the Paris 2024 Games. The vice-president, Tricia Smith, and the treasurer, the Dutchman Gerritjan Eggenkamp , are also the only candidates for their respective functions. The election will take place on November 6, 2021 during a World Rowing congress organized virtually.
