IOC Vice President

Chinese Yu Zaiqing, former Vice Minister of China’s General Administration of Sport, was elected as a vice president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) earlier February, reclaiming a position he held previously for four years. The 62-year-old Yu, an IOC member since 2000, had been on the IOC executive board from 2004 to 2012 and a vice president from 2008 to 2012. Yu received 80 votes in favor and nine against in the secret voting by IOC members. The post he filled was vacated by Thomas Bach after his election as IOC president in September.
