Brazil’s Olympic Committee overwhelmingly re-elected Carlos Nuzman as president on Friday, overlooking a series of recent committee scandals and keeping him in the post until the 2016 summer Games in his home city of Rio de Janeiro.
Nuzman, after four previous four-year turns at the helm of the committee, ran unopposed and got 30 of the 31 available votes from committee members.
His continued dominance comes even as critics outside the committee’s inner circle lambaste what they see as his authoritarian leadership style.
