The new president was pleased with how the campaign for the presidency was conducted saying: “I think it was an important process for the TTOC to go through at this time and I think the organisation will be stronger for it.
“Richard Young presented a creditable case and valid arguments…Now that the campaigning is over, it is now about all the parties working together for the Olympic movement.
“I am particularly proud that the campaign was contested with a high degree of integrity and dignity at the end, the Olympic movement will come together and I am confident members of the new executive can work together,” he added.
