Currently, there are 108 members, 39 honorary members, one honorary President and two honour members.[1]
Current members
The chairperson of an international organization, who represents an Olympic sport (e.g. the chairman of World Athletics), is represented in the IOC "ex officio" (i.e., because of that position).
