Mike Stanley is set to be re-elected as President of the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) as he is standing unopposed for the role at tomorrow's General Assembly in Auckland.

The 59-year-old, a two-time world rowing champion, is the only candidate in the running at the meeting, due to be held at Eden Park.

Stanley has been President of the NZOC since 2009 and will serve a third and final four-year term.

It will see him preside over the organisation during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Stanley made his only appearance at the Olympic Games at Los Angeles 1984 after New Zealand were one of the countries to boycott Moscow 1980.

His tenure at the helm of the NZOC has largely been successful, although he did face criticism for the organisation's support of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommendations on Russia in the lead-up to Rio 2016.

Drugfree Sport New Zealand said they were "disappointed" after the NZOC backed the IOC's decision not to ban the entire Russian team from Rio in the wake of the the country's doping scandal.

Stanley's election is one of several key items on the agenda of the NZOC General Assembly.

A vote will also take place for two places on the NZOC Board, which includes IOC members Barry Maister and BMX athlete Sarah Walker.

Sports which have been added to the Tokyo 2020 programme - baseball and softball, karate, sport climbing, skateboarding and surfing - are also set to be granted official membership of the NZOC.

The five sports were officially granted a place at the Games in the Japanese capital at the IOC Session held prior to the Rio 2016 Olympics in August of last year.
