Overview
- The executive board urged international federations to avoid staging tournaments, events or meetings in Indonesia until written entry assurances are provided.
- The move follows Jakarta’s denial of visas to Israeli gymnasts for the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in the capital this week.
- The IOC will revise Olympic qualification rules so hosting agreements require guaranteed access for all eligible athletes at qualifying events.
- The Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected Israel’s emergency appeal to compete or to move or cancel the Jakarta championships.
- Indonesia’s sports minister Erick Thohir defended the ban as a public‑order step and said the country accepts the hosting fallout, while the IOC summoned Indonesia’s NOC and FIG to Lausanne and Indonesia’s 2036 ambitions were reported to be severely damaged.
