Two brothers were arrested and appeared in a Zimbabwe court Friday accused of an armed robbery at the home of new International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry's parents, where they allegedly stole some of Coventry's sporting memorabilia.

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.

Kirsty Coventry was elected president of the International Olympic Committee on Thursday and became the first woman and first African to get perhaps the biggest job in world sports. "It is a signal that we are truly global," the Zimbabwe sports minister and two-time Olympic swimming gold medalist said.
