World Athletics President and his six competitors in the hope of Khalaf Tomas Bach made brief offers in Lausanne, Switzerland on Thursday.
The elections occur in March in Greece.
“I hope I can connect my love to the Olympic Movement,” Ko told BBC Sport.
“I hope I can bypass the purpose and energy that I think the role requires.
“It's not a job, it's a passion, and I hope this is what I can transfer in the next few weeks.”
The British Olympic Champion of 1500 meters twice pledged on charges of the International Olympic Committee, pledged innovation, empowering athletes, and providing “clear policies based on science” to protect the female category amid a continuous debate on the rules of eligibility between the sexes.
During the era of COE, World Athletics prevented sexually transmitted women from competing in the category of females in international events and tightened the rules of competitors ’participation with differences in sexual development (DSD).
In his speech, COE told IOC 110 members: “We should never lose sight of what makes the games special and we are at risk of doing this.
“So we will maintain a laser -like concentration on sports excellence; we will protect and encourage women's safety, and we will enhance anti -doping systems, and everything I have done, with the World Athletics Council.”
When asked how he felt that his words were received, Co said: “The sincere answer to this is of course that you do not know. This is really up to membership.
“I was asking [them] Not only to vote for me, but to vote for themselves. A vote of confidence in the skills, ability and experience that falls within the International Olympic Committee, because this in itself is sufficient to help us move in these challenges.
“The Holy Jass is” for any organization, especially in sport, is how to excite and maintain youth participation. It is a disorganized scene. There are many deviations and sport to know how to maintain excitement and attention, especially Olympic sport. “
The rules of the International Olympic Committee mean that the candidates were allowed to speak for a period of fifteen minutes at the closed doors event, with the ban on the media and not a field for members ’questions after that.
“I am sure that someone who is successful will want to review a whole series of things,” said Ko.
“I think how to choose the leadership of the International Olympic Committee – in the same way [as] Any organization – you will need to look. We only need to make sure that we give members a great opportunity to understand the motives of people sitting behind these offers, and it can only be personal interaction.
“But I participated in politics for a long time to know that you do not choose a battle with the returning officer on the eve of the elections!”
COE is facing a competition from Spaniards Juan Antonio Samarans Junior, France David Lapartint, Zimbabwe Kirsti Coventry, Mourinari Watanabi, Japanese, Swedish Johann Elias, and Prince Vical Al Hussein from Jordan.
