Robin Mitchell was reelected as president of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) during their General Assembly in South Korea.
Mitchell, who ran unopposed, will be in office until 2026. He was previously the Acting President, and will now take on the role in a full-time manner. The election was conducted via secret ballot.
“I am honored to have been elected as ANOC President,” Mitchell said. “The NOCs are a key pillar of the Olympic Movement and at ANOC we have a responsibility to ensure we are representing their interests and supporting them to the best of our ability.
“This General Assembly demonstrated the important role ANOC plays in providing a vital platform for NOCs to express their views, exchange ideas and share best practices. This is something we must continue to strengthen and promote, and I am ready to work with the ANOC Executive Council and all NOCs to ensure we do so.”
Mitchell, from Fiji, received 177 of the 184 votes cast. Five voted against Mitchell and two abstained. He is the first person from Fiji to serve as ANOC president
