He received 70 out of 78 valid votes.

“It is a really great honor for me personally, and for the FEI, to be elected as an IOC member,” De Vos said. “I see this as clear recognition of the way the FEI has embraced and continues to embrace Olympic Agenda 2020, our clear focus on sport format changes for Tokyo 2020, and our good governance. I would like to thank the IOC members for their belief in me and will be honored to serve the Olympic movement.”

Thomas Bach, IOC president, welcomed De Vos, saying, “Ingmar De Vos is a great driver of sport and a true supporter of the Olympic movement. Under his presidency the International Equestrian Federation has gone from strength to strength with a series of comprehensive governance and transparency reforms, in line with Olympic Agenda 2020.
