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.
