Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique

The Fédération Internationale De Gymnastique (FIG) is the umbrella organization of all national gymnastics organizations worldwide. It is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and administers all aspects of gymnastics sport globally. 157 countries are affiliated with the FIG after seven national federations were added at the 2008 FIG Congress in Rome.

In light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the FIG suspended athletes from Russia and Belarus from competing at any Fédération Internationale De Gymnastique events, and suspended all officials from these countries from officiating at any event sanctioned by the FIG, as well as from attending or participating in any FIG meetings, committees, and forums. In March 2023, the Russian Gymnastics Federation sent a letter addressing the ISF and urging them to reverse the decision and allow Russian athletes to compete in ISF events. The RGF's statement included claims that the war was actually started by Ukraine and that 'Russia defends peace'. In May 2023, the Fédération Internationale De Gymnastique reinstated Russian and Belarusian athletes, shortly after a Russian missile attack forced the cancellation of a gymnastics event in Ukraine.
