The 14th Olympic Summit, hosted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Lausanne, Switzerland, on December 11, 2025, focused on the "Fit for the Future" consultation process and reaffirmed athletes' fundamental right to access sport without political interference. The summit endorsed principles that the Olympic Charter provides strong tools for political neutrality, emphasizing that athletes should be free from governmental pressure. A key decision was the recommendation to lift restrictions on Russian and Belarusian youth athletes participating in international competitions, with International Federations (IFs) and event organizers to determine specifics. Standard protocols for flags and anthems will apply if national sports organizations are in good standing. These recommendations are intended for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games and other youth events. However, existing sanctions against Russian and Belarusian governments, including restrictions on government officials' accreditation, will remain. IFs will continue to refrain from organizing events in Russia but not Belarus. The summit stressed that youth athletes should not be held accountable for their governments' actions.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is considering new eligibility rules that may exclude transgender women and athletes with Differences of Sex Development from women's events. This follows a scientific review on competitive fairness, potentially finalized early next year. The IOC's current guidance allows transgender women to compete under testosterone limits, but this could change. Several international federations already have restrictions. The decision may impact the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. No final decision has been made.

WADA President Witold Banka urged USADA to take action against the Enhanced Games, a competition allowing performance-enhancing drugs. Banka and USADA leader Travis Tygart, despite past conflicts, are now considering collaboration. The Enhanced Games, scheduled for May 2026, faces legal and ethical challenges, with WADA and World Aquatics threatening sanctions against participating athletes. Organizers have filed an $800 million lawsuit against WADA, World Aquatics, and USA Swimming. Several athletes have expressed interest, while others, like Kyle Chalmers, declined lucrative offers. Critics include Carl Lewis, and the IOC has condemned the event.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry engaged with key stakeholders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, to discuss support for Ukraine and its athletes, and created four working groups focused on the Youth Olympic Games, Olympic programme, protecting the female category, and commercial partnerships and marketing as part of the "Fit For The Future" process.
