LONDON -- New IOC President Thomas Bach will hold a four-day retreat of his policy-making body next month to discuss the future of the Olympic movement, The Associated Press has learned. Jose Cisnero Jersey . Bach will convene a private "think-tank " of his executive board from Dec. 11-14 at a hotel in the Swiss lakeside resort of Montreux, Olympic officials with knowledge of the decision told the AP. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting hasnt been announced. The brainstorming sessions are expected to cover a wide range of issues, including possible changes to the Olympic sports program, a review of the bid city process and a proposed raising of the 70-year age limit for IOC members. The retreat will follow immediately after the regularly scheduled one-day meeting of the executive board at the International Olympic Committee headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Dec. 10. Regular IOC executive board meetings usually last two or three days and involve reports from various departments and Olympic host city organizers. By keeping the Dec. 10 meeting to just one day, the board can go into more depth and exchange views on all issues in a relaxed atmosphere in Montreux. The move reflects Bachs determination and urgency to take charge and set his own agenda since being elected president on Sept. 10, succeeding Jacques Rogge after 12 years in office. Bach chaired a closed-door summit of sports leaders at the IOC on Nov. 2 to discuss doping, match-fixing, illegal betting, the sports calendar and other issues. The 59-year-old German has made clear he wants a more flexible system for setting the Olympic sports program, an issue which came to prominence after wrestling was stunningly dropped from the 2020 Games lineup last February. The sport was voted back onto the program in September, defeating squash and a combined baseball-softball bid. During a visit to Japan this week, Bach said the IOC will discuss the possibility of baseball and softball being included in the 2020 Games in Tokyo, something that would require a change in the IOCs rules. During his presidential campaign, Bach said the IOC could lift the current limit on 28 sports by tinkering with the disciplines with the sports. Bach also has spoken about tweaking the process of bidding for the Olympics, seeking to cut costs and put fewer requirements on potential host cities at the start. Earlier this month, voters in Bachs home country rejected a proposed Munich bid for the 2022 Winter Games, citing financial and environmental concerns. Also likely to be discussed in Montreux is the IOCs mandatory retirement age of 70 -- a rule in place since 2000 as part of reforms enacted after the Salt Lake City bribery scandal. Bach and most of the five candidates he defeated in the IOC presidential election have said the age limit needs to be reconsidered. The ban on member visits to bid cities and the IOCs anti-doping strategy are other key issues. Ideas and recommendations coming out of the Montreux retreat will be put forward to the next formal meeting of the executive board and the full IOC general assembly in February on the eve of the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Bach, a former Olympic gold medallist in fencing, has acted swiftly to consolidate his power, travelling around the globe and holding talks with key officials and world leaders. He has travelled to Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin and inspect preparations in Sochi, delivered a speech at the United Nations in New York and attended last weeks global anti-doping conference in Johannesburg. Bach is currently on a tour of Asia, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jingping in Beijing and visited Tokyo for talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and local organizers of the 2020 Olympics. On Thursday, the IOC leader was in South Korea, meeting with President Park Geun-hye and checking on preparations for the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang. Bach will be back in Europe on Friday to attend the general assembly of the European Olympic Committees in Rome. He has a scheduled private audience with Pope Francis and will present him with the Olympic Order, the IOCs highest award, and will also meet with Italian Premier Enrico Letta. Billy Rogell Jersey .

The Sharks assistant team captain found another way to keep the good times rolling. In the process, he just might have salvaged San Joses hopes of catching Anaheim in the chase for the top spot in the Pacific Division. Marleau scored a tiebreaking goal with 7:29 left in the third period to lift the Sharks to a 5-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night after San Jose had squandered a two-goal lead. "I think (Joe Pavelski) actually kicked it over to me in front," said Marleau after notching his 32nd goal of the season. "It was good. I was just able to get it in the back." It was a much-needed win for the Sharks, who came into their final homestand of the season after falling out of first place in the division following back-to-back losses to Winnipeg and Colorado. San Jose has already locked up a playoff spot, but is trying to avoid a first-round matchup against the Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks had blown a 3-1 lead and were 0 for 5 on power plays before Marleau rocketed a shot past Edmonton goalie Ben Scrivens after Scrivens had deflected a one-timer by San Joses Brent Burns. Dan Boyle, Andrew Desjardins and Tommy Wingels also scored for the Sharks, who moved within one point of first-place Anaheim in the Pacific Division. "I still think our team looks lethargic," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "Were there but were not really getting it done. Right now were still in a fight, which I think is good for us, to stay focused and have that battling mentality." The Sharks still face an uphill climb. Four of their final five games are against teams in playoff contention. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two goals and two assists for Edmonton, which lost for the fourth time in five meetings between the teams this season. "We knew coming in we couldnt take penalties but for whatever reason, a couple that we probably shouldnt have taken and it comes back to bite us," Nugent-Hopkins said. "I thought we showed a lot of push-back. The way we climbed back in the game was reeally big for us. Jim Bunning Jersey. We just have to take some momentum from it." This one nearly got away after San Jose built an early lead. Edmonton scored two goals in a 38-second span in the second period to tie the game, then took the lead when Nugent-Hopkins scored his second goal of the game 6:16 into the third. After Burns tied it off an assist from Joe Thornton, Marleau sent the crowd at SAP Pavilion home happy with his game-winner. Antti Niemi made 25 saves for San Jose. Taylor Hall scored the other goal for Edmonton. Nugent-Hopkins nearly had a hat trick after being credited with a goal in the second, but it was later awarded to Jordan Eberle. Scrivens set an NHL record for most saves in a regular-season shutout when the two teams played on Jan. 29, but wasnt nearly as sharp this time. Neither was Niemi. Desjardins third goal of the season 3:11 into the first put the Sharks up 1-0. Desjardins scored off a deflection in front of the net after Scrivens stopped a shot by Tyler Kennedy. Hall tied it on a power-play goal for Edmonton after a roughing call against Boyle. Boyle, penalized twice in the first period, made up for it with another point-blank shot in front of the net that made it 2-1. After San Joses power-play unit missed a chance to pad the lead early in the second, Wingels tapped the puck past Scrivens for an even-strength goal that gave the Sharks a 3-1 lead. Edmonton tied it with two goals in 38 seconds. Nugent-Hopkins, who had an assist on Halls goal, scored to cut the gap to 3-2 before Eberles game-tying shot. Nugent-Hopkins was originally credited with the goal after the play was reviewed and upheld, but a scoring change later awarded the shot to Eberle. Nugent-Hopkins put the Oilers ahead when he scored 6:16 into the third before Burns tied it for the Sharks midway through the final period. "Were happy with the two (points), but weve got to tighten up for the post-season," Thornton said. "Weve got five games here to do that." Notes: Halls 26 goals are tied for the team lead.
