    Kirsty Coventry, a two-time Olympic gold medallist and Zimbabwe’s sports minister, has made history as the first woman and first African to be appointed to the role widely regarded as the most powerful in global sports.

    In an interview with Sky’s Rob Harris, Ms Coventry discusses her new position and how her leadership could impact the future of the Olympics, especially in terms of its relevance to sports fans worldwide.

    Asked if she is against banning countries from the Olympics due to conflicts, she stated, “I am, but I think that you have to take each situation into account.”

    She further emphasised her vision of creating a taskforce aimed at developing policies and frameworks that could guide decisions regarding conflict-related issues in the Olympics.

    A Pennsylvania high school freshman is now a state champion.

    Rylee Kohan captured gold in the 50-yard freestyle at the PIAA Class 2A swimming championships, breaking a program record in that event.

    But her victory came among a “wave of emotions” for her and the Westmont Hilltop community.

    Rylee Kohan put on quite a performance at Bucknell University, shaving nearly a full second off her preliminary time to clock in at 23.22 seconds, just 0.12 seconds ahead of the runner up.

    Not only did she secure a state title, but she also broke a program record that had stood since 1999.
