There were no surprises today after all six launched their campaigns ahead of an overnight deadline to enter.
They are: IOC vice presidents Thomas Bach of Germany and Ser Miang Ng of Singapore; executive board members Sergey Bubka of Ukraine and C. K. Wu of Taiwan; and former board members Richard Carrion of Puerto Rico and Denis Oswald of Switzerland.
The election is scheduled for Sept. 10 at the IOC annual assembly in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The six will pitch to 100-plus IOC members at closed-door meetings in Lausanne on July 3-4.
