Legal commission

IOC President Thomas Bach:  John Coates, the chairman of the Legal Commission, on Sunday listed the hurdles the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach will face in seeking a third term as urged by some members during the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai.

The IOC will have to amend its Olympic charter to remove the tenure cap for the President. Currently, the Olympic Charter limits the IOC President's term to a maximum of 12 years -- the first term of eight years which can be extended by four more years.

Bach was first elected as President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2013 and is now in his second term which will end in 2025.
