Francesco Ricci Bitti has been confirmed for the third time as the head of ASOIF, the association that brings together the international federations of summer Olympic sports.

The 78-year-old Italian executive, Honorary President of the International Tennis Federation and member of the National Council of CONI, was unanimously re-elected (he was the sole candidate) for his third and final term by the ASOIF General Assembly, which met today by video-conference.

Last week Ivo Ferriani, President of the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation and also a member of the CONI Council, was elected to the presidency of the AIOWF, the association representing the international federations of winter Olympic sports. For Italy and CONI, this is a prestigious double placement at the top of world sport.
