From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Muso (talk | contribs) at 23:30, 27 October 2016 (Infantino is not an IOC member, see the official IOC member list.

The main entrance of the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne (Switzerland).

This is a list of members of the International Olympic Committee. According to the Olympic Charter, the members of the IOC "represent and promote the interests of the IOC and of the Olympic Movement in their countries and in the organisations of the Olympic Movement in which they serve". Currently there are 98 members, 39 honorary members and 1 honour member. Jacques Rogge is the Honorary President.[1]

Current members

The chairperson of an international organization, who represents an Olympic sport (e.g. the chairman of the athletics IAAF), is represented in the IOC "ex officio" (i.e., because of that position).
