BERLIN (Reuters) - International Olympic Committee presidential candidate Kirsty Coventry does not have outgoing president Thomas Bach working on her election bid despite a good relationship for more than a decade, she said on Monday.

Coventry, a two-time Olympic champion, is also Zimbabwe's sports minister and is one of seven candidates to run for the most powerful post in world sport, with IOC members set to vote on the new president at their session in Greece on March 20.
