Newly elected already has a huge task ahead of her as she takes office, fighting climate change.
More than 400m Olympians including have shared their pleas to the IOC president to formulate a plan to make the world a better place for athletes to exist, train and compete freely.
The recent Olympic Games have become different with the recent being the Paris Olympic Games. The Seine River had issues with water quality and safety for the swimming events, partly due to heavy rainfall and climate change.
Mohammed Bajaber has earned praise from Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy who has revealed how he left an impression on him during their recent conversations.

The delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games also faced the same struggle with temperatures rising above 34C and humidity around 70%.
The rising temperatures are making it difficult to organise events and athletes around the world have raised their concerns over the same.
Ferdinand Omanyala call to action
Recent years have witnessed recurring storms, droughts, or wildfires that affect how athletes train and compete since they come from countries facing the consequences of climate change. The nations include the Bahamas, Fiji, Kenya, Pakistan and Zambia.
“Here in Kenya and around the world, we’re already experiencing the harsh realities of climate change, from extreme weather to rising temperatures,” Ferdinand Omanyala said as per
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy is facing increasing pressure to move past captain Michael Olunga.
“We can’t afford to wait. Protecting our planet must be a top priority so that both athletes and communities can thrive in a cleaner, more sustainable world.”
Effects of climate change
At the Tokyo 2020 , the heat forced tennis player Daniil Medvedev to ask: “I can finish the match, but I can die. If I die, who will take responsibility?”
Hannah Mills, double Olympic champion sailor and IOC Sustainability Ambassador added: “The Olympics have held and fulfilled the dreams of so many over its history. But I can’t have any bigger dream than a future in which my children can thrive.”
Meanwhile, Elana Meyers Taylor, said: “As a winter Olympian and a mother of two, I feel so strongly that the next IOC President must prioritise care for the planet, ensuring that the sports we love and the winter landscapes that make them possible are preserved.”
Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has received criticism for not translating his great club form to the national team but what are the factors that contribute to this?
The hot weather affects athletes’ performances as it disrupts sleeping patterns, accelerates dehydration, and increases the risk of illness and injury.
Reports have proven that by 2050, previous host cities of the Olympic Games like Tokyo, Beijing, Athens, Seoul, Rome and Barcelona could be too hot to safely stage the Games again.
Now the ball lies in hands to address climate change and shape the future of the Olympic Games.
