Dakar 2026 : les États-Unis menacent de bouder les JOJ, voici la raison
Les Échos reports that an internal report from the American Gymnastics Federation, based on an inspection mission by the American Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), raises serious concerns about the organization.

The experts sent to Senegal, cited by the same source, mention "major shortcomings concerning security and reception conditions." According to the report, the current infrastructure presents "competition expectations deemed unfavorable for high-level athletes," thus raising major concerns related to the well-being of young athletes.
Gymnastics isn't the only discipline expressing reservations. The newspaper reveals that "other American sports have already chosen to withdraw from the event, citing similar challenges." Faced with what sports authorities describe as "a far from ideal situation," American officials are now seriously considering declining the official invitation.
For Dakar, which is preparing to make history by hosting the "first Olympic Games on African soil", this threat of withdrawal from a leading nation represents a "major diplomatic and organizational challenge".
