Attendance of Canadian IOC members

[edit]

IOC member Tricia Smith and honorary IOC member Richard Pound are both Canadian citizens holding Canadian passports.

The IOC confirmed that they were following up on the situation concerning visas for Canadian citizens.[11]

IOC members approved the proposal unanimously, marking the first such session in since the 86th in in 1983. Unlike the multi-stage, competitive bidding for Olympic Games hosts under Olympic Agenda 2020 reforms, IOC Session host selections typically involve simpler proposals from NOCs, reviewed by the IOC Executive Board for feasibility before a vote by Session members.

The 141st Session held particular significance as a milestone for India's integration into Olympic governance, amplifying its bid prospects for hosting the 2036 Summer Olympics and fostering domestic reforms in athlete training and anti-doping compliance. Key to this was the influence of , elected in 2016 as the first Indian woman IOC member, whose advocacy secured the hosting rights during the 139th Session in in 2019, signaling India's shift from peripheral to strategic player in the Movement.

Key Outcomes

India's Aspiration for 2036 Olympics

During the inauguration of the 141st IOC Session at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai on October 14, 2023, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicly affirmed India's intent to bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics, declaring that the nation would "leave no stone unturned" to realize the event on its soil as the "age-old dream and aspiration of 140 crore Indians." Modi highlighted India's expanding sports ecosystem, including recent successes in events like the Asian Games and the inclusion of cricket in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, positioning the country as ready to host a global spectacle that promotes unity and youth empowerment. This announcement marked a formal escalation of India's longstanding interest in hosting the Olympics, with identified as the lead candidate city due to its developing infrastructure, including the , the world's largest venue with a capacity of 132,000. The session's location in —India's first IOC Session hosting since in 1983—served as a strategic platform to showcase organizational capabilities, secured through efforts by IOC member , who was elected in as the first Indian woman to the committee. Modi's pitch aligned with the IOC's "new norm" bidding process, emphasizing sustainable, existing venues over extravagant new builds, an approach promoted through investments in facilities like those used for the and ongoing projects under the initiative. However, IOC President noted during the session that no host selection for 2036 would occur before 2026, allowing multiple nations—including —to engage in continuous dialogue amid competition from bidders like , , and . The statement reinforced 's strategic pivot toward leveraging —projected GDP surpassing $5 trillion by 2027—and demographic advantages, with over 50% of the population under 25, to build a legacy event focused on mass participation.

Suspension of Russian Olympic Committee

On October 12, 2023, the International Olympic Committee's Executive Board suspended the (ROC) with immediate effect, stripping it of membership rights, privileges, and access to IOC funding. This action occurred three days prior to the 141st IOC Session in , , and was prompted by the ROC's unilateral decision on October 5, 2023, to incorporate four regional sports organizations from the , , , and regions—territories annexed by from in September 2022—as its own members. The IOC cited a breach of the , particularly principles requiring respect for international peace, , and the , as the ROC's inclusion of these entities undermined the neutrality and universality of the Olympic Movement by endorsing Russia's territorial claims. The suspension did not preclude individual athletes holding Russian passports from qualifying for future as neutrals, provided they competed without national symbols, did not support the ongoing conflict in , and were not affiliated with the sanctioned regions or military-related entities. The ROC filed an appeal against the suspension with the (CAS) on November 6, 2023, arguing procedural irregularities and lack of proportionality. On February 23, 2024, CAS dismissed the appeal in full, upholding the IOC's decision and ruling that the Executive Board had acted within its authority without violating principles of or equal treatment. The ruling emphasized that the ROC's actions constituted a direct challenge to the Olympic Charter's foundational norms, rendering suspension a proportionate response.

Controversies

Canadian IOC Members' Attendance Amid Diplomatic Tensions

Amid the diplomatic dispute between and that intensified in September 2023—following Canadian Justin Trudeau's allegations of potential Indian government links to the June 2023 killing of Khalistani activist in — halted visa issuance to Canadian citizens, invoking concerns. This measure, part of reciprocal actions including diplomat expulsions from both sides, created uncertainty for Canadian participation in international events hosted by , including the 141st IOC Session scheduled for October 15–17 in . The expressed concern over potential barriers to attendance by Canadian members Tricia Smith, an active IOC member and president of the Canadian Olympic Committee, and Richard Pound, an honorary IOC member, both Canadian passport holders. The IOC communicated directly with Indian officials to facilitate their entry, emphasizing the session's importance for global sports governance. Tricia Smith successfully entered and attended the session, arriving in on October 12, 2023, ahead of proceedings; her presence underscored the separation of sports diplomacy from bilateral state frictions, though it occurred against a backdrop of suspended high-level Canadian diplomatic visits to . Reports did not confirm Pound's attendance, amid the visa restrictions affecting ordinary Canadian travel, but no formal IOC complaints arose from absences. The episode highlighted vulnerabilities in IOC neutrality when host nations impose entry limits tied to unrelated geopolitical conflicts.

Geopolitical Influences and Criticisms of IOC Neutrality

The IOC's suspension of the (ROC) on October 12, 2023, immediately preceding the main proceedings of the 141st Session, exemplified geopolitical pressures stemming from Russia's invasion of . The Executive Board cited the ROC's October 5 incorporation of sports organizations from four Ukrainian regions—, , , and , which Russia had annexed in 2022—as a violation of Rule 2.15, which upholds respect for territorial integrity and national sovereignty. This action followed nearly 20 months of the conflict and built on earlier IOC recommendations barring Russian and Belarusian athletes from team events under their flags, reflecting alignment with broader Western sanctions against despite the organization's stated commitment to apolitical sport. Critics, including Russian state media and officials, contended that the suspension politicized the Olympics by effectively endorsing Ukraine's territorial claims and discriminating against Russian athletes on ethnic grounds, with President accusing the IOC on October 20, 2023, of using the Games as a tool for "ethnic " amid the war. The IOC rejected these claims, asserting the decision targeted administrative overreach rather than athletes, who remained eligible for individual neutral-flagged participation pending qualification. Supporters, such as President , praised it during the session as the "only decision" to preserve the Olympic movement's integrity against aggression. FIFA President , speaking at the session on October 15, urged safeguarding sport's neutrality as a "powerful tool to unite people," implicitly cautioning against escalatory precedents. The episode fueled longstanding debates on IOC selectivity in enforcing neutrality, as the organization has historically refrained from similar suspensions for interventions like the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 or the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, despite comparable violations of sovereignty. Geopolitical influences were evident in the decision's timing and context: Ukraine's government had lobbied aggressively since February 2022, backed by NATO-aligned nations dominant in IOC membership, while host maintained a neutral , abstaining from UN condemnations of and continuing Russian oil imports. This asymmetry drew accusations from pro-Russian voices of Western bias within the IOC, contrasting with its inaction on issues in host nations like (Beijing 2022) or (FIFA 2022), where commercial interests prevailed over ethical interventions. The IOC maintained that the ROC suspension upheld charter principles without broader geopolitical intent, allowing individual Russian athletes to compete in 2024 under strict neutrality conditions.
