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

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.
