Two brothers have been arrested and appeared in a Zimbabwe court accused of an armed robbery at the home of new International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry’s parents.

Kirsty Coventry has been elected as the 10th President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), becoming the first woman and African to ever be elected to the position.

Behind closed doors inside a resort in western Greece, International Olympic Committee members elected the first female president of the largest global sporting organization on Thursday. Kirsty Coventry will become the IOC's 10th president after members from across the world cast their secret vote on the first ballot.
