IOC warns countries that blocking athletes for political reasons risk harming Olympic host bids

  • The IOC panel that liaises with potential Summer Games bidders, which Grabar-Kitarovic chairs, “must take any infringement of the Olympic Charter into consideration at all stages of the dialogue”
  • A decision on the 2036 Olympics host should be taken “not before 2026 or 2027”
