Smit said in an interview with the TASS news agency.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also detailed the <strong>behind-the-scenes and the initial vision of the sports entity<\/strong>. &#8220;The IOC initially considered integrating sports simulators, which were generally about cycling, sailing, baseball, archery and taekwondo. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is now evident that they realized that such formats would not provide them with a significant audience increase as well as financial benefits.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The break with Saudi Arabia and the project\u2019s history<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current work stoppage marks another major setback for the digital category.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, the sport&#8217;s highest governing body had already refused to hold the long-awaited<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/en\/esports-en\/2025\/02\/13\/ioc-postpones-esports-olympics-to-2027\/?doing_wp_cron=1778590964.5038180351257324218750\">eSports Olympics<\/a> in Saudi Arabia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, both parties treated the decision as a mutual agreement and chose to<strong> follow different paths to develop, above all, their own ambitions in the world of games.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That break was accompanied by an<strong> official statement that the committee planned to develop a new approach to the competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The formal intention to hold the virtual tournament was <strong>officially announced in June 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before that, the organization promoted a <strong>week of testing<\/strong> and created the aforementioned working group in September 2023, a <strong>major expansion project<\/strong> that now <strong>appears to have come to an end.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to suspend the work of its division focused on electronic sports.
