	Description:		We're in Greece to find out what challenges await the new IOC president Kirsty Coventry - the first woman and first African to hold the most powerful role in sport. The IOC faces several challenges, including the issue of paying prize money to athletes, finding a host for the 2036 Summer games and climate change. There are also questions around the future of boxing as an Olympic sport and securing future revenues with NBC's multi-billion dollar deal due to expire after the Brisbane games in 2032 and other sponsorship deals up for renewal.
