The 71-year-old Belgian will step down as president of the International Olympic Committee on September 10. Previously, he led the IOC through a period of relatively stable growth, spanning three summer and three Winter Olympics.
Rogge, an orthopedic surgeon by training, has won praise for bringing calm and stability to an Olympic arena often roiled by political issues. He took a tough line on doping and other ethical violations; He founded
Youth Olympic Games
; He managed to turn the IOC's finances around during the global economic crisis; He also reconciled the IOC with the United States Olympic Committee after years of wrangling over revenue.
Under Rogge, the IOC also expanded the Games to new locations, including awarding the 2016 Games to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It will be the first Olympic Games to be held in South America.
In 2001, Rogge was elected the 8th president of the International Olympic Committee in Moscow
.
He took office shortly after the Salt Lake City scandal broke. At the time, 10 IOC members resigned or were expelled for accepting bribes and other property while competing to host the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

In addition to the success of the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee must continue to work hard in anti-doping, control the abnormal development of the commercialization of the Olympic Games and prevent the Olympic Games "gigantism". In particular, the anti-doping fight has become a top priority: at present, the anti-doping rules of various international sports organizations are not uniform, and the government and sports organizations are not enough to form a joint force, which seriously restricts the smooth development of the anti-doping fight.
Logue is well aware of this. He made it clear that the biggest challenge he faced after taking office was the anti-doping issue because it directly related to the credibility of the sport. If the day comes when people don't want to send their children to sports clubs for fear that they will use performance-enhancing drugs, then that day will mean the downfall of sport. The IOC must keep sport clean and credible because this is the life of the Olympic movement. Rogge stressed that the IOC is not a patriarchal place and that the work of the IOC is a team work. Like his predecessor Juan Antonio Samaranch, he will delegate power to his subordinates, giving them tasks and responsibilities, but also giving them support.
Rogge has said that being president of the International Olympic Committee requires responsibility and decisiveness, and as a surgeon, he is faced with responsible decisions for patients every day: "As a doctor, you have a tumor, you have to remove it, squeeze out the pus, and let the body heal." When something goes wrong, I try to figure out what it is as quickly as possible and try to fix it."
Member of the International Olympic Committee (1991 -), member of the IOC Executive Board (1998 -), Chairman of the Coordination Committee for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games (1995-2000), Chairman of the Coordination Committee for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games (1998 -).
Member of the IOC Athletes' Commission (1990-1999), Member of the Olympic Solidarity Commission (1990 -), Member of the Medical Commission (1992-1993, Vice President (1994 -), IOC Executive Committee (1999 -).
In 2001, he was elected as the new president of the International Olympic Committee. According to the revised rules of the International Olympic Committee, the new president can serve a term of eight years, but can only be extended for a maximum of four years.
Rogge hailed the Beijing Games as "a high level of athletic competition," and praised the athletes' performance and the hospitality of the Chinese people for earning the Games its place in Olympic history, proving once again that sports can move and inspire the world.
Rogge said: "We owe a debt of gratitude to these remarkable people and institutions, and on behalf of the Olympic Movement I would like to thank the Chinese government for its support in organising the Games." I would like to thank the Beijing Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games under the leadership of President Liu Qi for their extraordinary efforts to present us with a unique Olympic Games. At the same time, we would like to express our gratitude to the Chinese people for their warm hospitality."
On the evening of August 24, 2008, the closing ceremony of the 29th Summer Olympic Games was held in Beijing National Stadium - "Bird's Nest". In his speech, Rogge hailed the Beijing Games as "truly exceptional."
On 28 April 2014, Jacques Rogge was appointed as the UN Special Envoy for Youth Refugees and Sport, where he will be responsible for promoting the cause of sport among displaced youth or refugee groups, as well as promoting the values of peace, reconciliation, health and gender equality.
Since Rogge succeeded Samaranch as president of the IOC in 2001, the IOC has just experienced a "big earthquake". In late 1998, the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics bid scandal exposed "corrupt elements" within the IOC. Ten members were expelled for taking bribes, casting a shadow over the sanctity of the Olympic rings. When Rogge took office, although the Olympic Games was already the most influential comprehensive sports event in the world, there had been over-commercialization, too large scale and too high cost of "gigantism", athletes desperate use of doping and so on, which had become a major challenge Rogge faced.
At Rogge's official swearing-in ceremony, former IOC vice president
Keba Mbayi
When he handed him the golden key of the IOC headquarters, he said, "This key symbolizes the ship you are to guide. The ship is already crowded and the sea is stormy from time to time. The task of leading the ship will be difficult, but I believe you are an excellent captain."
Rogge, a former orthopedic surgeon, has taken a knife to the Games, implementing a series of reforms that include tighter oversight of lobbying by bid cities to fight corruption, greater transparency in the IOC's work, and swifter and firmer action against members suspected of corruption. In anti-doping with a number of organizations to establish the World Anti-Doping Committee, and united governments and international sports federations to establish a united front against doping.
Rogge is also actively committed to the "slimming down" of the Olympic Games, preparing to re-evaluate the 28 sports of the Olympic Games and control the cost of the Olympic Games to reduce the burden on organizers.
Reform will naturally encounter various resistance, especially will inevitably touch the interests of some individual international sports organizations. But as one Olympic observer pointed out: "He was a surgeon and it was not unusual to see bleeding. Therefore, he will not be afraid of 'bleeding' even if it is necessary to reform."
Rogge's reform is not an arbitrary one; He is the leader of the IOC, but above all a loyal listener, good at listening to all sides of the Olympic family before making judgments and choices.
This is inseparable from his many years as a doctor. Rogge once said: "When you see a patient, you first listen to the patient describe the symptoms, then examine him and diagnose him, and finally decide what to do." That's the way I do things. I don't like to be dictatorial. I'm a team player." This open and democratic style of leadership is also a big difference from his predecessor Samaranch. Former International Olympic Committee director General Carrard is also an "Olympic old man", he said Samaranch is more closed than Rogge, often give people a sense of distance, not much to say, but Rogge is the first to throw out his ideas, causing everyone to discuss. "His working principle is to emphasize dialogue with each other." "Mr. Callard said.
Rogge, a former sailor, has become an international sports leader, but he does not lose his sportsmanship. At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, he became the first IOC president to be stationed in the Olympic Village. During the Athens Games, he once again entered the Olympic village. "My dream is to work in a hotel like the past president of the International Olympic Committee, but sleep in the Olympic village." Rogge said this when he was elected president of the International Olympic Committee. Living in the Olympic village has undoubtedly brought him closer to the athletes. Compared with his predecessors, he does not value five-star hotels, does not care about all kinds of living conditions, even his large but simple presidential office at the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee. In addition, he has actively reformed the IOC's membership structure, which used to be dominated by businessmen bosses and government officials, but increasingly includes athletes and representatives of international sports federations. Ioc member Eric Schmidt said that from Rogge himself, to the IOC vice president, to the members of the executive board, to the chairmen of the IOC committees, the vast majority are members who have participated in the Olympic Games. Under his leadership, the structure of the IOC has been updated and the interests of athletes have been best represented and safeguarded.
If, in the past 20 years, the task of the IOC president was to create a complete Olympic family, to achieve unity and expand the influence, today Rogge's task is to govern a complex family, make it more reasonable, more vibrant and more pure. Among them, there are quite a lot of Chinese people often lament the "entrepreneurship", "maintenance" of the difference.
Put the butcher's knife to banned drugs
Athens Olympic Games is the first major event in the sports world in 2004, with the fierce competition on the field, the disgraceful "cheat" will become the Olympic Games need to deal with the number one enemy, in order to reduce the emergence of scandal, the International Olympic Committee president Rogge took out the spirit of giving up my who will target doping. His action finally made a breakthrough.
Logue throws a hard punch
Right at
The World Anti-Doping Agency
With only a puff of wind coming out of his fist, Logue stepped out. It seems that he has been prepared for this contradiction, and naturally he has a plan to deal with it. In July 2003, the 115th plenary session of the International Olympic Committee formally approved the World Anti-Doping Code, which provides severe penalties for athletes who abuse doping.
Under the regulations, athletes in any sport who test positive for drugs can be banned for two years, except in exceptional circumstances. The IOC requires all individual sports organizations to sign the code before the Athens Games, and governments around the world should sign the agreement before the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.
As the IOC announced the rules, Rogge was adamant that any country that refused to sign the rules should not expect to be able to host the Games in the future. Similarly, any international sports organization that refuses to sign the regulations should not expect its sport to become an Olympic sport in the future.
FIFA (International Football Association)
President Sepp Blatter was not happy, and soon after Rogge's announcement, he said he would not give up his authority in football, insisting that he would not agree to a minimum two-year ban on punishing users of banned substances. Pound quickly responded that if FIFA did not sign and implement the resolution before the Athens Games, football could be kicked out of the Olympics. Rogge's tough attitude has been effective, most of the individual sports organizations obediently came to Zurich, including the world football, basketball, volleyball and other minorities have finally bowed their heads, the only headache for the IOC is left
International Cycling federation
.
Blatter and Pound met in Zurich, Switzerland. On behalf of FIFA, Blatter said football was ready to accept the World Anti-doping code. Fiba officially announced that it will implement this regulation from now on, in order to be in line with international standards and completely combat the phenomenon of doping in the basketball world. And before them,
International Volleyball Federation
and
International Badminton Federation
They all made similar statements.
The most "arrogant" FIFA is also the most "abnormal". The Italian Football Association and the English Football Association, both affiliated with FIFA, are not small. The FA started with internationals
Ferdinand
After delaying the blood test, the Italian Football Federation announced: "Anyone who dares to refuse the blood test will not be allowed to enter the national team!" In an attempt to effectively control the drug epidemic that had spread throughout the Apennine Peninsula.
The "submission" of the "three balls" was enough to make Rogge proud, with the only exception now being the International Cycling Federation. The International Cycling Federation, which has been rocked by doping scandals, has said publicly that it opposes the two-year ban for first-time offenders under the World Anti-Doping Code and has no intention of signing it.
President of the International Cycling Federation
Verbruggen
With no intention of slacking off on anti-doping, he said a two-year ban would be a lifetime ban for cycling and his riders simply could not afford such a heavy punishment. With the Athens Olympics less than 200 days away, Verbruggen is still battling Rogge.
Olympic Games
Whether the project, which is highly marketable in Europe, will be expelled has become the biggest suspense ahead of the Athens event.
1. "The five finalists for the 2012 Olympic Games are all world famous cities, and the current global bidding wave shows the importance and prestige of the Olympic Games in the eyes of the public. It also demonstrates the prestige and status of the Olympic Games and the IOC's commitment to improving itself, including managing the size and complexity of the Games and building a legacy for the host city's sport and city."
2. "After the Athens Olympics, the international federations received a total of $240 million
Olympic Solidarity Foundation
The same amount will be achieved in the 2005-2008 cycle, which would represent a significant increase over the previous four-year cycle. Following the success of the television rights for the Olympic Games with NBC in 2003, the negotiations between the IOC and the European Television Union for the television rights for the 2010 Winter Olympics and the 2012 Summer Olympics in Europe in 2004 were also very successful, with revenues increasing by 40% over the previous contract." 3. "The role of the IOC is no longer just to run the Olympic Games and sport. Over the past 109 years, the modern Olympic building, which is based on sports and the prestige of the IOC and has always defended its values and ideals, has become stronger than ever. In the New Year, the IOC will continue to promote the social values of Olympic solidarity, the status and role of women, human development, culture and education, environmental protection and human rights action. Over the past year, our committees have done a lot of work in these areas."
4. "The IOC has always been committed to upholding ethics and transparency. But unfortunately, in 2004 we had to expel one member and punish two. The International Olympic Committee has very strict ethical constraints and guidelines for its members. We believe in the educational value of sports, and we encourage our athletes to follow the principles of fair play, honesty, and compliance with rules and regulations. We must therefore demand the same of ourselves. We are convinced that together we can achieve our goals."
5. "We have very good cooperation with the United Nations and its affiliated agencies, as well as various joint activities with the World Bank, the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, etc., in 2004."
Rogge, a yachtsman in his youth, won a world championship, two world runner-up and 16 Belgian national championships in the Finnish class, and competed in the 1968, 1972 and 1976 Olympic Games. He also played 10 matches for the Belgian national rugby team. After his retirement, Logue attended the University of Ghent in Belgium, where he earned his MD and became an orthopaedic surgeon.
Love of sports, so Rogge in the sport, still actively involved in the Olympic movement. His linguistic advantage - in addition to fluent Dutch and French, he also spoke English, German and Spanish - provided him with great convenience in the Olympic temple. In 1989, Rogge became president of the European Olympic Committees and was also a vice-president of the Federation of European National Olympic Committees and a member of the World Anti-Doping Council. He was elected a member of the International Olympic Committee in 1991 and has been an executive Committee member since 1998. He was also vice president of the IOC Medical Commission, a member of the leading Group on Institutional Reform, and general coordinator of the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games.
Rogge's election as president, just 10 years after he became a member of the International Olympic Committee, was described by the press as "an amazing leap". In fact, it is due to Rogge's hard work and good image as "Mr Clean". "I could be called a troublemaker," he once said. That's true. Rogge played the role of firefighter many times in coordination with the Sydney Olympic Organizing Committee, which ultimately made the Sydney Olympic Games a success. In coordination with the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee, which faced many difficulties, Rogge's down-to-earth work style also won people's respect. In the controversial Salt Lake City Olympic bid scandal, Rogge did not visit any of the cities bidding for the 2002 Winter Olympics, and there was no connection with accepting bribes. After his election, he once again brought the world clean - he said he would leave his medical position to become a full-time IOC president, but he would remain a volunteer rather than the first paid IOC president.
Ioc Honorary President Samaranch once said of Rogge, "Jacques Rogge is an unimpeachable candidate for the presidency of the IOC. He has an unclouded past, a Belgian who has been committed and independent since childhood. He is a former athlete who competed in three Olympic Games as a sailor. He learned a lot from the sea and the art of conquering it: firmness, strength, fighting against external factors and loneliness. These valuable lessons learned in sailing will certainly serve him well in his future presidency. Since he chaired the General Assembly of European National Olympic Committees. He became an active player in the internal activities of the Olympic Committee. It is fair to say that the election of Dr. Logue was highly anticipated."
Rogge, known as "Mr Clean," shattered the IOC's once-tarnished image of superiority. When the Olympics were held during his term, he chose to spend as much time as possible in the athletes' village.
"He is absolutely the right person at the right time," said Gerhard Heiberg of Norway, a veteran I.O.C. official. "We have been through serious periods of turmoil. We have to get rid of it. He has brought stability to the organization."
Rogge's approach to proper management is a far cry from that of his predecessor, Juan Antonio Samaranch. Rogge sought a more democratic and decentralized approach to governance. Some critics see Rogge as dull and wooden, but he likes to describe himself as a "calm" and sober leader. This dovetails with his medical background.
"Jacques Rogge loved his sport and his company with athletes, and he passed that on to everyone who knew him. The joy he displayed in his sport was contagious." -
Thomas Bach
"Jacques Rogge's contribution to the modernisation and transformation of the IOC is well known. He will always be remembered as a champion of youth sport and the Youth Olympic Games, as well as a staunch supporter of the clean up of sport and a tireless campaigner against doping on the field." -
Thomas Bach
[6]
"The entire Olympic movement is deeply saddened by the loss of a great friend and passionate sports fan." -
Thomas Bach
[8]
Chinese Foreign Ministry: President Rogge is a leader of the International Olympic Movement and an old friend of the Chinese people. He made outstanding contributions to promoting the development of the Olympic Movement, deepening the friendly cooperation between the IOC and China and successfully hosting the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
