Kirsty Coventry, the newly-elected IOC president, said during a Thursday press conference that the IOC is creating a special task force to “look at the transgender question and protect the female category” in preparation for the 2028 Olympic Games.
She added, “And once we have made the collective decision as the IOC with the international sports federations, we will make that decision very clear and we won’t change our decision.”
The 41-year-old Coventry gets an eight-year mandate into 2033 with a likely early test in the meeting with President Donald Trump about the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Coventry, which in February supported a blanket prohibition for transgender sportsmen and women across all categories, has also promised to work with Trump.
“I think there’s a number of different challenges that we’re going to face as the Olympic movement, and we’re going to tackle those together. So in terms of Donald Trump, again, it’s going to take communication,” she said during the briefing.
