The IOC has survived the 2026 Winter Games but faces enormous challenges: Trump, LA 2028, the search for TOP sponsors, the hospitality disasters, the toxic climate in the administration, program reform, and the abolition of the Olympic Channel. Doubts about president Kirsty Coventry are growing.

Die Wettbewerbe der XXV. Olympischen Winterspiele sind beendet. Zeit für weitere Analysen. U. a.: Stimmt es, dass Deutschland besonders oft knapp an Medaillen scheiterte, wie der DOSB behauptet? Wie ordnet sich das Abschneiden in die Geschichte der Winterspiele seit der Deutschen Einheit ein?

Imagine if that were to happen at the next IOC session in June. Rumors to that effect are currently circulating within the Olympic family. In one fell swoop, Germany would lose 73 percent of all Olympic winter sports medals, for which hundreds of millions of euros are paid. A catastrophe.

Man stelle sich vor, das würde auf der IOC-Session im Juni passieren. Die Gerüchte dazu gehen heute herum in der olympischen Familie. Auf einen Schlag würde Deutschland 73 Prozent aller olympischen Wintersport-Medaillen verlieren, für die Hunderte Millionen Euro bezahlt werden. Eine Katastrophe.

Norwegen produziert die billigsten Olympiamedaillen, zahlt keine Medaillenprämien, vergibt Stipendien, die geringer sind als vergleichbare Einnahmen deutscher Sportler, und erringt mit einem Bruchteil deutscher staatlicher Mittel bei Winter- und Sommerspielen fast so viele Medaillen wie "Team D".

The reporting on Nazi symbolism in The Olympic Shop deserves some background information and documentation. So here is a story about how the IOC basically blackmailed (German) Olympic bidders and how much money the IOC Group paid for the 1936 Olympic films financed by Joseph Goebbels.
Die oberflächliche Berichterstattung über Nazi-Symbolik im Shop des IOC verdient etwas Hintergrund und Dokumente. Hier also eine Geschichte darüber, wie das IOC (deutsche) Olympiabewerber erpresst und wie viel Geld der Olympiakonzern für die von Goebbels finanzierten Olympia-Filme 1936 bezahlt hat.
Once again, CAS acted in accordance with the wishes of the IOC. The press release on the arbitration ruling reads as if it were written by IOC's propaganda department – no deviations from IOC positions. Questions on the proceedings and the lack of transparency of IBSF and IOC remain unanswered.
The disqualification of Ukrainian Vladyslav Heraskevych becomes the biggest political issue of the 2026 Winter Olympics – with unforeseen consequences for the IOC and its president, Kirsty Coventry, who are attempting to rectify the situation with propaganda measures. Details on the opaque process.
Let us forget the Olympic lie of neutrality! There can be no neutrality when a murderous Russian regime is about to destroy another country and threatens World War III. That is why the Ukrainian Vladyslav Heraskevych, like all other Ukrainian athletes and Olympians, deserves our full solidarity.
The 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, an underage Olympian, Jeffrey Epstein, Terje Rød-Larsen, Zubair Khan, crypto, law firms, banks in France, Monaco and Switzerland: this story, which may has begun 2006 at the Olympic snowboard competitions, has many elements, even a potential FSB/GRU honey trap.
Lord Triesman, former Labour minister and chairman of the Football Association, died at the age of 82. He was a remarkable man. Sporting roles were only a small part of his activities.

Casey Wasserman, chairman of LA 2028, appears in the Epstein Files published by the DOJ. Wasserman is not under investigation, but moral questions arise that the Olympic movement cannot avoid. Two IOC members are also named in the documents. The latter is a different matter from the Wasserman case.
IOC employees describe a culture of fear not only in the offices in Lausanne. The situation in Madrid, where a quarter of the IOC workforce is based, is also described as toxic in some departments. The incidents and the way in which management deals with them reveal a worrying Olympic pattern.
