CNN —The 2023 World Beach Games, scheduled to take place in Bali next month, have been canceled after hosts Indonesia suddenly withdrew from the tournament. “It is with great surprise and extreme disappointment that ANOC has learnt that the Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI) has withdrawn from its commitment to host the ANOC World Beach Games and the ANOC General Assembly in August 2023,” ANOC said in a statement Tuesday. Indonesia’s withdrawal from the World Beach Games at such a late hour caught the organizing body off guard. “The situation is felt to be getting more difficult because several sponsors of the 2nd ANOC World Beach Games Bali 2023 have also announced their withdrawal,” Raja Sapta said. CNN has reached out to ANOC and the KOI for further comment on Indonesia’s withdrawal from the tournament.

Oct 18 (Reuters) - Delegations from Russia and Belarus will be permitted to attend the Association of National Olympic Committees' (ANOC) General Assembly, the organisation's Executive Council said in a statement on Tuesday. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued guidance to sports governing bodies in February to remove Russian and Belarusian athletes from competition after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "The NOCs of Russia and Belarus are still recognised by the IOC and are therefore entitled to attend the ANOC General Assembly as any other recognised NOC," the statement read. The Latvian Olympic Committee (LOK) said on Monday it would not participate in the General Assembly, which runs from Wednesday to Friday in South Korean capital Seoul, if Russia and Belarus attended. The LOK and the NOCs of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Norway and Sweden appealed in a letter to acting ANOC president Robin Mitchell to reconsider the involvement of Russia and Belarus at the General Assembly.
