Research on Implementation Challenges and Countermeasures for China's Sports Arbitration Mechanism in the Post-Olympic Era

Abstract

Following the successful hosting of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, China's sports industry has experienced rapid development, accompanied by continuous improvements in sports regulations. After the Winter Games concluded, the newly revised Sports Law introduced a dedicated chapter on sports arbitration, enabling the comprehensive implementation of the sports arbitration system. While the sports arbitration system provides a sound theoretical framework for resolving sports disputes, its practical application faces multiple challenges. These include ambiguities in defining the scope of accepted cases, insufficient independence of arbitration institutions, and poor coordination between sports arbitration and other sports dispute resolution mechanisms. There is an urgent need to clarify the scope of arbitration, enhance the independence of arbitration institutions, and optimize the linkage between sports arbitration and other mechanisms to provide solid legal support for the healthy development of China's sports industry.
