Abstract: The international sports order, as the foundation of the development status and operational landscape of international sports and the Olympic Movement, reflects the logical trajectory and operational mechanisms of international sports development. The research initially draws on theoretical perspectives from international relations and political science to summarize that the international sports order comprises: power entities centered around the IOC and IFs, a regulatory system primarily anchored in Olympic rules with supplementary frameworks from institutions like the United Nations and value concepts guided by Olympism and sports good governance. Secondly, it traces the formation of the international sports order, which has evolved alongside the internationalization of the Olympic Movement and Western modern sports. This process involved the power diffusion to incorporate diverse stakeholders, the enrichment of institutional frameworks to establish a comprehensive international sports institutional system, and the progressive integration of pluralistic values alongside shifts in Olympic ideals. Finally, focusing on China’s engagement, the research examines how the nation navigates its evolving role within this order. While showcasing sports systems and values with Chinese characteristics, China faces external challenges and internal shortcomings. In the future, China should participate more actively in international sports affairs to enhance its international sports discourse power. Assist in reshaping the international sports order through institutional supply and ideological dissemination, and strive to enhance China’s sports governance capacity and modernize governance.
