IOC President Kirsty Coventry seems to be doing her best to get the IOC back on track so that everyone competes on a level-playing field.

Coventry called on host countries and sports event organisers to live up to their duty: “They must guarantee access for all and respect the universality and autonomy of sport.” The Zimbabwean reminded everyone of her own story: “If you had decided to sanction me when my country was going through turmoil, I would not have made it to the Olympic Games. I would not have won my Olympic medals. My path would have been completely different than it is today. Sport changed my life. And I am so grateful for that, and I will fight every day to ensure athletes from every corner of our world have the same possibilities.”

People also seem to have forgotten that it was by winning four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics that athletes like Jesse Owens put the lie to Hitler's 'aryan supremacy' claims.

Recently sport has changed the path of female athletes by denying them medals when they were forced to compete against trans women and called into question the 'international/world' scope of sporting events by denying Russian athletes from competing for their country.
