Jacques Rogge, IOC President at the Opening Ceremony of the 119th IOC session
Jacques, Count Rogge is the eighth president of the International Olympic Committee. Under
his leadership, the IOC aims to create more possibilities for developing countries to bid
on and host the Olympic Games. Rogge believes that this vision can be achieved in the not
too distant future through government backing and new IOC policies that constrain the size,
complexity and cost of hosting the Olympic Games.
