Last week, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) sent a letter to the President of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ukraine, Mr Vadaym Guttsait, attempting to justify Russia’s invitation to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. In the letter, the IOC told Ukraine that threatening to boycott the Olympic Games would be a violation of the Olympic Charter and would result in a sanction. The IOC’s inverted stance toward the aggressor and the victim of this war flouts the Olympic Charter and undermines peace.

Today’s decision to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete in qualifiers to attend the 2024 Paris Olympic Games sends a message to the world that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) endorses Russia’s brutal war and invasion of Ukraine. By allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete, the IOC is strengthening Russia’s propaganda machine, empowering the Putin regime, and undermining peace.

Another Canadian Child Gymnast has been sexually assaulted and Canadian Government continues to Ignore Athletes’ Calls for an Independent Third-Party investigation into the Abuse in Canadian Gymnastics.

I will no longer be silenced. Breaking the silence of my lived experiences of abuse in Canadian gymnastics is a heavy one. For the benefit of every child, athlete, and parent in the sport it’s time for me to be vulnerable; it’s time to inform everyone that the type of behaviour I and many others were exposed to was never acceptable and must be stopped.

Athletes and Coaches Call for the Immediate Resignation of Boxing Canada’s High-Performance Director

We stand steadfastly united in our calls for a truly independent, third-party investigation into the toxic culture and abuse practices within Canadian Gymnastics. Furthermore, all Canadian athletes must be afforded the exact remedy we are demanding. Athletes can no longer have their rights suppressed.
