International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry was caught off guard by questions about Germany and a Russian anti-doping chair, among other things, on Friday. During a press conference ahead of Sunday’s Closing Ceremony of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, Coventry declared that “maybe someone needs to be dismissed” from her team after she was blindsided by questions featuring topics she was not aware of. Coventry, in her first Olympics as IOC President, turned to her team when asked for her opinion on a spokesperson for German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier saying that hosting the 2036 Olympics would be “historically problematic,” as it would mark a century since the Nazi Games.
