Nicole Hoevertsz said her dream had become a reality after she was elected as a vice-president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the organisation's Session here today.
insidethegames exclusively revealed earlier this week that Hoevertsz would take the place vacated by American Anita De Frantz, who has served the maximum of two four-year terms.
The 57-year-old from Aruba, who has only been a member of the IOC Executive Board for four years, received 72 votes with seven against.
