The Association of European Olympic Committees (EOC) is the envy of athletes. Less than a week before its annual forum, scheduled for November 7 in Rome (Italy), the body has published the list of candidates for the athletes' commission. It has 13 names, for four positions to be filled. Three seats are reserved for athletes from summer disciplines, the last having to go to a representative of winter sports. At the forum, the commission will also vote for a new president, with the term of Estonian discus thrower Gerd Kanter ending after six years in office.
