BOA chief executive steps down

London, Feb 13 (AP) The British Olympic Association is searching for a new chief executive after Andy Hunt chose to step down at the end of the month "to pursue other opportunities." Hunt, who has been in the position since 2008, says "the organization's strategy for the next four years is taking shape, the BOA's responsibilities and the job ... Are different." Hunt was the chef de mission of Britain's 2012 Olympic team, which won 65 medals to place third in the medals table the best performance by the team in over a century. The BOA was notified of Hunt's decision at a board meeting today. (AP) NKP NKP 02132316 NNNN
