The International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach took to Albert Park, to meet with our sports people.

Bach was in the country to officially open the Oceania National Olympic Committees’ (ONOC) XLII Annual General Assembly at the Sheraton Fiji Resort in Deanrau, Nadi, on Tuesday.

During the General Assembly, Dr Robin Mitchell was re-elected as ONOC president.

He was elected unopposed and will serve another term, which ends in 2025.
