Catherine Ordway, Senior Consultant with SHG Sports, was called on for expert commentary in the lead up to the Australian Olympic Committee board election on 5 May 2017.
Here is a summary of her recent media activity:

- N Jeffrey and C Le Grand, ‘AOC loss will cost Coates his IOC roles’, The Weekend Australian, 29 April p. 8
- V Trioli, ‘AOC crisis meeting’, episode 83, ABC News 24 Breakfast TV, 26 April
- D Coady, ‘Allegations of toxic culture prompts Australian Olympic Committee crisis meeting’, PM with Mark Colvin, ABC Radio, 24 April
Divided boards within National Sports Organisations ultimately decided to back the incumbent, President John Coates, after the AOC Athlete’s Commission agreed to support Coates on the basis that he committed to several governance reforms.
