In its statement, the IOC reinforced a longstanding message: global sport is meant to remain separate from political disputes.
The committee emphasized that its mission is to bring athletes together from all nations and to protect the Olympic Games as a space for peaceful competition. The IOC also noted that political decisions and government actions fall outside its authority, and that Olympic participation is evaluated under the rules of the Olympic Charter, not based on public arguments or trending political discussions. The goal, according to the committee, is to preserve fairness and unity through sport.
