Singapore's Ng Ser Miang entered the race for International Olympic Committee president yesterday, seeking to become the first Asian to hold the most powerful job in the Olympic movement.
The 64-year-old Ng announced his candidacy at the Sorbonne in Paris, a highly-symbolic venue where the IOC and modern Olympics were founded in 1894 by Pierre de Coubertin. Ng, an IOC vice president, became the second declared candidate for the top job after Germany's Thomas Bach announced his candidacy last week. At least three other members are expected to run to succeed Jacques Rogge, who steps down in September after 12 years.
