Filipino sports official Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski has been appointed last Monday as the new Chair of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Coordination Commission for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics in Australia.

IOC president Thomas Bach made the announcement after President-Elect Kirsty Coventry, who stepped down from the role.

"A former equestrian athlete who represented the Philippines internationally, Jaworski has been a member of the IOC EB (executive board) since 2020," the IOC said.

"She has strong connections with Australia, having trained and competed in the country, including in Brisbane, for her entire career."
"Her role will be to ensure that all aspects of the project are developed and executed to the highest standards, creating an inclusive, sustainable and memorable Olympic experience for athletes, fans and communities alike."

As an equestrian, Cojuangco-Jaworski won a gold medal in the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea.

She was also part of coordination commissions for the Summer Games in Tokyo in 2021, Paris in 2024, and Brisbane for 2032.
