Israel’s gymnasts will not be able to compete at the upcoming world championships in Indonesia after the sport’s highest court rejects requests from the Israeli federation (IGF) to “guarantee the participation” of its team.
Indonesian authorities denied Israeli gymnasts entry visas for the championships later this month, before the IGF demanded the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to either guarantee its athletes’ presence or to move or cancel the event.
