New International Olympic Committee (IOC) German Thomas Bach (L) speaks with outgoing IOC President Jacques Rogge at the end of the 125th IOC session on September 10, 2013 in Buenos Aires. Bach fulfilled a long-held dream as he was elected to the most powerful position in sport, president of the IOC in Buenos Aires. The 59-year-old German -- the first Olympic gold medallist to become president -- won in the second round of voting by his fellow IOC members to beat five male rivals bidding to succeed Jacques Rogge, who stepped down after 12 years in charge.
