Comité Olímpico Internacional

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the governing body of the Olympic Games. It is responsible for organizing the Summer and Winter Games, promoting Olympism, and supporting its member National Olympic Committees. The IOC is in the news currently due to several factors. Firstly, the IOC's Executive Board recently approved a policy regarding female categories in sports, potentially requiring genetic testing and excluding transgender athletes from competing in women's events at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. Secondly, the upcoming Los Angeles 2028 Olympics are generating news, with articles referencing the historical context of the Games, such as the participation of early Latin American athletes. Finally, while not directly related to the IOC's core functions, recognition of athletes like Rafael Nadal highlights the broader Olympic movement and its connection to sporting excellence and cultural impact.
