Former IOC boss rogge is dead

Jacques Rogge has taken over the presidential office in the IOC in one of the heaviest crises. The surgeon was able to gain more credibility to the umbrella organization, but do not manage problems such as the reform of the Olympic Games. Now the Belgian died.

He joined the Presidential Office in the 2001 International Olympic Committee with the reputation of a renewer and reformer. The program of Belgian was courageous and courageous. He said the corruption as well as the fight as the doping and the gigantism of the Olympic Games. The surgeon and orthopedist born in Ghent on May 2, 1942, but did not succeed in the twelve-year-old term of office in order to improve the condition of the IOC. As the IOC announced on Sunday, Rogge has now died at the age of 79 years.

Rogge was the inventor of the Olympic youth games

He was a completed president who contributed to modernize and transform the IOC. Particularly rememberable will be as advocate of youth sports and as an initiator of the Olympic youth games, said Ioc-President Thomas Bach, who became his successor in 2013. He was also a glowing advocate of clean sport and struggled tirelessly against the evils of doping. First and foremost, Rogge loved the sport and collaborate with athletes. His joy of sport was contagious, said Bach.

At least somewhat succeeded, this is with the reform of the procurement process, which also belonged to the prohibition for IOC members, to visit Olympia applicants. Finally, ten members had lost their IOC office because they had accepted money and gifts from the organizers of the games in Salt Lake City.

When he gave a few words on the way at the end of the term of office, it sounded like a confession of being feasted to essential things. The quality of the games is important, the financial situation of the IOC is important and the fight against game arrangements, betting fraud and doping, said Rogge at that time and added: The challenges will not change the challenges.

As heritage, Rogge leaves the Olympic youth games, which were raised from baptism in Singapore in Singapore. They should awaken the interest of youth at the Olympic idea and sports - even with the help of social media and trend sports.
