After 12 years in charge, Thomas Bach is getting ready to hand over the reigns to a new President of the International Olympic Committee.
The IOC is holding its 144th Session in Olympia where the ancient Games were founded, and where a new President will be elected on Thursday.
There are seven candidates looking to replace Bach in what many consider to be the most powerful job in world sport.
Al Jazeera’s Andy Richardson has more from Costa Navarino, Greece.
