United States

Casting change at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC). The body announces the arrival of Rocky Harris (photo above) as director of the sports performance department. He replaces Rick Adams, the previous holder of the position, who left very suddenly at the start of the year. Having worked in the athletic department at Arizona State University, Rocky Harris previously served as general director of the American Triathlon Federation (USA Triathlon). He will be responsible for the performance of Olympic sports, relations with the fifty national federations of the Olympic and Paralympic movement, but also services to athletes and links between the USOPC and the NCAA.
