04 August 2021 Federica Pellegrini was elected a member of the IOC, the International Olympic Committee, representing the athletes who voted at the Olympic Village. The blue swimmer will remain in office until 2028 and will consequently be in the Coni council until that date. In Italian sport the only precedent is that of Manuela Di Centa.

Federica Pellegrini was third among those elected. In first place the Spanish basketball player Pau Gasol, in second place the Polish cyclist Maja Martina Wloszczowska. Fourth was the Japanese foilist Yuki Ota.
