Does it help Germany’s Olympic ambitions that Cologne sports manager Michael Mronz is now an IOC member? Rather not. India is positioning itself for the 2036 Summer Games. And even in 2040 the Germans would have a powerful competitor.
What’s going on now? Apparently Nora, the Princess of Liechtenstein, has completely forgotten the German candidate. In any case, she skips it and instead asks the Swede Petra Soerling to take the oath of oath at the Olympic flag. Is Michael Mronz out again before he’s in? Possibly because he achieved the weakest result of all eight candidates in the vote, even behind a Malaysian actress, the Bond girl Michelle Yeoh (“007 – Tomorrow Never Dies”)?
