Wu joins bid for IOC presidency

INTERNATIONAL Amateur Boxing Association President Wu Ching-kuo announced his intention to run for International Olympic Committee president yesterday, saying the Olympic movement should be bigger than just the Games.

IOC Executive Board member Wu, of Chinese Taipei, is the fourth IOC member following Germany's Thomas Bach and Singaporean Ng Ser Miang, both IOC vice presidents, and Puerto Rico's Richard Carrion to decide to run for the post. The election is set for September 10 in Buenos Aires. Jacques Rogge, who succeeded Juan Antonio Samaranch in 2001, sees his two-term presidency come to a mandatory end in September.
