A NOC presidency

Hashimy was elected to a four-year term as NOC President at the A NOC General Assembly in Kabul on 30 April 2014. He secured 27 votes in the first round of voting, giving him the majority needed to be elected. He succeeded Mohammad Zaher Aghbar who served as ANOC President from 2009 to 2014.[2][3] [4] [5]

Following his election as NOC President, Hahimy stated that he wanted "to create a world class NOC and that he also want to increase the participation of women in sports and show that culturally you can be a good Muslim woman but also a good athlete."[2] Further he mentioned that the election was a historic day[6] and that he now wants to take the NOC to the next level.[6]

gollark: Perhaps we should have ones from more than one manufacturer, in case one has some sort of problematic problem.
