United World Wrestling (UWW) has ruled that young Russian wrestlers (under-24) will be allowed to compete under their national flag and anthem. This follows similar decisions by the International Fencing Federation and the International Judo Federation. The policy does not yet extend to senior athletes, which remains under discussion. This marks a continued easing of restrictions on Russian athletes, who previously competed under a neutral banner following the IOC ban.

USA Fencing faces multiple lawsuits concerning its transgender athlete policy. Margherita Guzzi Vincenti, Emma Griffin, and Patricia Hughes filed a class-action suit, alleging the federation allowed biological males to compete in women's events. Former Olympic coach Andrey Geva also sued, citing misleading statements. The federation is also accused of discrimination by Dinah Yukich. The events led to a new policy aligning with the USOPC and President Donald Trump's executive order.

The International Fencing Federation (FIE) held a 'Fencing for the Planet' roundtable at the Tbilisi Fencing World Championships, featuring discussions on sustainability. Environmental engineer Andrea Campos Esquivel presented a case study on ecological practices at the Junior Epee World Cup in Costa Rica 2024. Baiba Brandule discussed fencing's ecological impact and equipment reduction. As part of the FIE's 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, the 'Fencing for the Planet' program, launched in 2023, encourages environmental initiatives, including water refilling stations and renewable energy use. During the championships, 30 Colchian pheasants were released into Krtsanisi Forest Park, supported by the Georgian National Agency of Wildlife, symbolizing environmental restoration. FIE Interim President Abdelmoneim El Husseiny emphasized the importance of acting for the planet.

FIDE has approved the participation of a Russian women's chess team in the 2025 Women's World Team Championship in Linares, Spain, under a neutral flag, pending IOC approval. This decision aligns with FIDE's policy since February 2022, allowing Russian and Belarusian players to compete as neutrals. The move follows a January 2025 resolution permitting neutral teams of vulnerable groups in team competitions and adheres to IOC guidelines, barring national symbols. While the Russian Chess Federation's membership was briefly suspended in June 2024, it was later overturned. The team's return to competition is notable, despite some criticism and ongoing efforts to fully reinstate Russian athletes.

The FIE Fencing World Championships in Tbilisi 2025 features 985 athletes from 115 countries and a record €900,000 in prize money. The event marks the launch of FencingTV.com, the FIE's new streaming platform. Tbilisi 2025 also includes a free training camp, environmental initiatives, and the election of new members to the FIE Athletes' Commission. The event, supported by the Georgian government and NOC, is seen as a platform for the visibility, development, and modernization of fencing.
