A plebiscite, nothing less. The only candidate for his own succession to the presidency of the Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee (COIB), Pierre-Olivier Beckers was re-elected without the slightest nuance. He received 102 votes out of the 102 votes cast by representatives of the Olympic and non-Olympic federations, gathered in Brussels for the elective general assembly. Also a member of the IOC, Pierre-Oliviers Beckers was elected in 2004 for a first term as president of the COIB. But this fourth term will be his last. According to the new COIB regulations, a president cannot now hold more than four mandates and a simple administrator, five.
