LONDON (AP) — Thomas Bach has been moving at breakneck speed in his first year as IOC president. Yet even he didn’t expect to secure support for his Olympic reforms so quickly.

It’s been a manic 12 months for Bach, who was elected on Sept. 10, 2013, in Buenos Aires as the ninth president of the International Olympic Committee, succeeding Jacques Rogge. He marks the anniversary on Wednesday at IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.
