Former International Finn Association President and International Olympic Committee President, Jacques Rogge has passed away at the age of 79.
Rogge was President of IFA from 1979 to 1981, before swapping roles with Gerardo Seeliger and standing as IFA Treasurer. He was later the eighth IOC President from 2001 to 2013, after which he became Honorary President.
In 2007, he was awarded the Beppe Croce Trophy from World Sailing, the Federation's highest award for outstanding voluntary contribution to the sport of sailing.
Jacques Rogge was a passionate Finn sailor and always maintained his love for the class in which he competed at three Olympic Games in Mexico 1968, Munich 1972 and Montreal 1976. His son Philippe followed in his footsteps and became IFA President from 1997 to 2005.
Jacques Rogge made an important contribution to Finn sailing, both as a competitor and as an orthopaedic surgeon, as well as a huge contribution to the Olympic movement and sport. Finn sailors were always proud to count Jacques Rogge as one of their own.
IFA sends its deepest condolences to all his family and friends.
