Currently there are 103 members, 42 honorary members and 2 honour members. Jacques Rogge is the Honorary President.[1]

Current members

The chairperson of an international organization, who represents an Olympic sport (e.g. the chairman of the athletics IAAF), is represented in the IOC "ex officio" (i.e., because of that position).
