International Gymnastics Federation chief Morinari Watanabe visited Barbados, appointing Sheldene Pinder to FIG's School Curriculum Working Group. Watanabe attended the Trident Classic, noting 167 active gymnasts in Barbados. Discussions included FIG support for equipment, introducing parkour, and a vision for Barbados as a global gymnastics role model, potentially hosting a FIG Congress. Watanabe also visited gymnastics facilities, met with sports officials, and toured the Olympic Museum.

43 Russian gymnasts approved by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) to compete under neutral status have collectively declined the invitation in solidarity with teammates whose applications were rejected. The decision, supported by the Russian Gymnastics Federation, means none of the athletes will participate in upcoming FIG events. This follows the FIG's initial ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, later allowing them to return as individual neutral athletes starting in 2024. FIG President Morinari Watanabe visited both Ukraine and Russia in March in an attempt to ease tensions.
