Group composition and the 2024 Election
The Commission aims to represent a wide range of athlete interests, so its composition has specific criteria that must be met across all elected members
Any eligible athlete can apply, but only the top six voted athletes who fulfil these criteria will be elected. Read more about our composition requirements.
*Please note that due to the composition of the six members continuing their terms, only athletes who competed at Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022, or Paris 2024 are eligible to apply for this year’s election
Representatives from hockey will be unable to stand in the election, as the two spaces for hockey are filled by members continuing their terms. Athletes from all other Olympic sports are welcome to apply
