Abstract

The article focuses on the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) initiative to maintain the political neutrality of sports through the establishment of a Working Group on the Protection of the Fundamental Principles of Olympism. This initiative is part of the IOC's "Fit for the Future" process and aims to address concerns regarding disruptions in competitions, restrictions on athlete access to host countries, and the impact of political tensions on sporting events. The IOC emphasizes the importance of sport as a unifying force and a symbol of hope, asserting that these disruptions undermine athletes' rights to compete peacefully and hinder the Olympic Movement's mission.
