“Fit for the Future”: IOC Session sets strategic direction to ensure that the Olympic Movement remains strong, relevant and impactful

The 146th IOC Session meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, has approved a series of amendments to the Olympic Charter intended to strengthen the principle of neutrality within the Olympic Movement and to modernise the governance of the Olympic Games programme.

IOC Session approves changes to the Olympic Charter as part of the Fit for the Future process

For the first time in history, every athlete at the Olympic Games will be eligible for a new USD 10,000 “Fit for the Future Olympian Grant”. The grant has been set up to support the sporting career or the career transition of Olympians. A fund of USD 140 million per Olympiad has been set aside, as announced today by the Chair of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Athletes’ Commission (AC), Pau Gasol, during the 146th IOC Session in Lausanne, Switzerland. The first athletes to benefit from this initiative will be the Olympians who competed at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

A new methodology to determine the Olympic programme, centred on the introduction of a discipline-based evaluation, has been approved by the 146th Session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). By introducing a more flexible framework, the decision marks a significant milestone in the IOC’s “Fit for the Future” reforms, paving the way for a more transparent, sustainable and adaptable approach to shaping the Olympic programme for future Games.

"Fit for the Future": New Olympic programme methodology approved to shape more relevant, flexible and sustainable Olympic Games

A detailed set of reforms on the way Olympic hosts are selected, starting with the 2036 Olympic Games, has been endorsed by the 146th Session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Lausanne today. IOC Members supported the proposal from the Future Host Commission for the Games of the Olympiad to introduce a new Strategic Dialogue stage into the selection process and target a date of mid-2029 to elect the host of the 2036 Olympic Games. The changes build on the dialogue approach that was successfully introduced in 2019, which emphasises benefits for the host communities and sustainable projects.
