International Olympic Committee: Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), on Sunday was urged by members to amend the Olympic Charter and to extend his presidency for four more years after 2025.

Though Bach did not make any promise on this, it was clear that he was agreeable to the suggestion and said it 'went straight to his heart".

The Olympic Charter limits the IOC President's term to 12 years -- the first term of eight years which can be extended by four more years.
