SOUNDBITE (English) Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah ANOC president:
(on being re-elected ANOC president)

"I was in the corner, I just had a good memory of school when I was banished in the corner. Only twice, During my student and during for the election of ANOC. For that always I will be very care to work harder unless I will always be in this corner. I hope I will always achieve all your dreams and the goal of the organisation with a very good preparation with all the sports stakeholders."

SOUNDBITE (English) Patrick J. Hickey, ANOC senior vice-president:
(on being re-elected)

"I think you all that I've always been a great fighter on behalf of the NOC's (National Olympic Committees) and I will continue to do that. Although I must say it is a great pleasure at the moment in the era that we are in, that we have such great relationships wit the international federations, who are many of them here in the room and I thank our president for forging that very strong alliance."
