A 'prominent' official within the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has been sanctioned for violating the organization's ethics code. The CGF's Ethics Commission found that the official, identified only as 'AB', spent an excessive amount of time with a volunteer of the opposite sex at a CGF-related social event in October 2024. The official was mandated to be accompanied by a safeguarding officer or senior CGF figure on overseas travel until September 2025 and undergo ethics training. The CGF received reports and initiated an investigation, led by lawyer 'CD', after witnesses raised concerns and took photographs of the official's behavior. While the official denied any inappropriate conduct, the commission determined that their actions could damage the integrity and reputation of the Commonwealth Games. The CGF rejected the official's request to keep the case private to avoid reputational risks for the organization.

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) is minimizing changes to the Scoring Code for 2025-2028 to avoid premature athlete retirements, focusing on stability for gymnasts to extend their careers and allow younger athletes time to develop. The FIG Executive Committee (EC) reappointed Nicolas Buompane as FIG Secretary General, nominated Tessa Eastgate to the FIG Council, and approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth Games Federation. The Italian Gymnastics Federation will host the 30th FIG Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships in 2026. Déborah Medrado will serve as the ambassador for the 41st FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships in Rio de Janeiro. Vault rule changes include a 0.2 bonus for forward and reverse vaults without falls, adjustments to difficulty values on the uneven bars, and refinements to artistic deductions on beam and floor.
