The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has expressed deep regret over Indonesia’s decision to deny visas to Israeli gymnasts, preventing them from participating in the 2025 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, scheduled for October 20–27, 2025. The move, seen as politically motivated amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, has drawn criticism from international sports bodies for violating principles of inclusivity and neutrality in global sporting events. IOC President Thomas Bach stated that the decision “contradicts the spirit of the Olympic Charter,” which guarantees equal participation regardless of nationality or political stance. The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) also condemned the visa denial and has called on Indonesia’s Youth and Sports Ministry to ensure all qualified athletes can compete. Sources within the FIG confirmed that discussions are underway about potential disciplinary action or event relocation if the issue remains unresolved. #Indonesia #IsraeliAthletes #GymnasticsChampionships #SportsDiplomacy #OlympicValues #ThomasBach #FIG
