I will make sure our voices arent just heard, but that they are effective and that we empower athletes around the world to do the same.Ruggiero won a hockey gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, along with silver medals at the 2002 Salt Lake City and 2010 Vancouver Games, and bronze in Turin in 2006.We will welcome her to the IOC executive board, IOC President Thomas Bach said.
