00:00I think it was a very important signal yesterday to demonstrate that we are a
00:06truly global organization and I was the 9th President of the IOC and eight of them
00:22have been from Europe and one from the United States of America and this is
00:30not really reflecting the reality of a global organization like the IOC with
00:37the 206 National Olympic Committees on all five continents and therefore this
00:44election is more than anything else this commitment to globalization and to be
00:55a truly global organization.
