The committee clarified that Olympic participation is governed by the Olympic Charter, not by shifting political climates or public pressure. Decisions related to international politics, it noted, fall outside the IOC’s authority and purpose.

Team USA is expected to compete as planned, preparations in Italy continue, and athletes remain focused on training rather than speculation. With the issue addressed, attention has largely returned to the sport itself—where the Olympic spotlight is intended to remain.
