I think Coe would be worse, but I also think that blocking his candidacy is just another sign that the IOC is falling into one man rule.

Shades of what it was under Brundage.

I think that Coe is the best of possible candidarures.

 

Top-3 favourites right now are Seb Coe, Samaranch Jr. and Kirsty Coventry.

 

Seb Coe and Samaranch Jr. are expected to be ruled out by the IOC ethic committee (Jr. - is too old).

 

Thus Coventry may have a freeride. And it looks like her candidature was a Plan-B from Bach. And ideal combination to show geogrphic diversity and gender equality. And to keep real power in Bach`s hands.

Coventry does tick a lot of boxes: first African (I mean, she is white but still), first woman and, most importantly, 100% a Bach loyalist.

But also a supporter of Mugabe...

Details, details

 

Being a member of Mugabe's cabinet isn't the most problematic thing a current IOC member has done
