Two athletes have publicly criticized the International Olympic Committee over different policy matters affecting Olympic competition.

American Olympic distance runner Nikki Hiltz, who identifies as transgender nonbinary, criticized the IOC's new policy regarding women's competitions on Friday. Hiltz expressed opposition to the policy changes, though specific details of the new regulations were not provided in available reports.

Separately, an Iranian wrestling coach has accused the IOC of failing to enforce Olympic Charter provisions. The coach alleged that the committee has ignored violations including restrictions on women's access to sports and requirements for athletes to boycott competitions against Israeli opponents.

The criticisms highlight ongoing tensions between the IOC and athletes over policies affecting participation in Olympic sports. Both cases involve disputes over how international Olympic policies are implemented and enforced.

The IOC has not immediately responded to either criticism. These complaints come as the organization continues to navigate complex issues surrounding athlete eligibility, international relations, and competitive fairness in Olympic sports.
