The love of sports made Rogge take an active part in the Olympic movement while saving the world. His language advantage-besides fluent Dutch and French, he can also speak English, German and Spanish, which provides great convenience for him to enter the Olympic Temple. From 65438 to 0989, Rogge became the president of the European Olympic Committee, the vice president of the European Federation of National Olympic Committees and a member of the World Anti-Doping Council. 199 1 was elected as a member of the international Olympic Committee and served as the executive Committee from 1998. He is also the vice chairman of the Medical Committee of the International Olympic Committee, a member of the leading group for institutional reform, and the general coordinator of the two Olympic Games in Sydney and Athens.
Rogge was elected president after becoming a member of the International Olympic Committee 10, which was described by public opinion as "an amazing leap". In fact, this is entirely due to Rogge's efforts and the good image of "Mr. Integrity". He once said, "I can be called a troublemaker." That's true. In the coordination with the organizing committee of Sydney Olympic Games, Rogge played the role of fireman many times, which finally made the Sydney Olympic Games a success. Rogge's down-to-earth work style has also won people's respect in the coordination work with the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee, which is facing many difficulties. In the Salt Lake City Olympic bid scandal, Rogge never visited any city that bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics, which had nothing to do with accepting bribes. After being elected, he once again brought clean hands to the world-he said that he would resign as a doctor and become a full-time president of the International Olympic Committee, but he would still be a volunteer instead of becoming the first paid president of the International Olympic Committee.
Samaranch, honorary president for life of the International Olympic Committee, once commented on Rogge: "jacques rogge is an irreproachable candidate for the presidency of the International Olympic Committee. His past has no shadow. He is a Belgian. He kept his promise and was independent since he was a child. He used to be an athlete and participated in three Olympic Games as a sailor. He benefited a lot from the sea and learned the art of conquering the sea: firmness, firmness, resistance to external factors and loneliness. These valuable things learned from sailing will definitely play a role in his future work as chairman. Since he presided over the European National Olympic Committee, he has become an active role in the activities of the Olympic Committee. It can be said that the election of Dr. Rogge is widely expected. "
Rogge, who enjoys the reputation of "Mr. Incorruptible", has broken the image of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that is superior and has been defiled. When he hosted the Olympic Games during his term of office, he chose to stay in the athletes' village as much as possible.
"He is definitely the right person at the right time," said Norwegian gerhard heiberg, a senior official of the International Olympic Committee. "We have experienced a period of serious turmoil. We must get rid of it. He has brought stability to this organization. "
Rogge's proper management style is completely different from that of his predecessor Samaranch. Rogge pursues a more democratic and equal management style. Some critics think Rogge is boring, but he likes to describe himself as a "cool" and sober leader. This is consistent with his medical background.
