Comité Olímpico Internacional

The Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI), or International Olympic Committee (IOC), is the governing body of the Olympic Games. Recent news highlights several aspects of the IOC's activities and impact. One article discusses the historical exclusion of women from sports, providing context for ongoing debates about gender equality in the Olympics. A key development is the IOC's decision regarding female athlete eligibility, specifically the approval of genetic testing to ensure that the female category is reserved for biological women, potentially excluding transgender athletes from competing in that category at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. Other articles mention the upcoming Los Angeles 2028 Olympics and highlight historical figures connected to the games, such as Luis Subercaseaux, a participant in the 1896 Athens Olympics. The IOC's policies and decisions continue to be relevant due to their impact on athletes, gender equality, and the overall structure of the Olympic Games.
