ABSTRACT: International
sports arbitration is regarded as a special type of international arbitration,
which is quite different from international commercial arbitration and
inter-state arbitration. Due to the party autonomy, convenience, and
professionalism of international sports arbitration, major international sports
activities and events generally chose international sports arbitration as the
means to resolve disputes. After more than 30 years of development, the
international sports arbitration rules, with the promotion of the Court of
Arbitration for Sport, have become more developed and mature. In the meantime,
however, we need to realize that there are many defects under the existing
international sports arbitration system, such as the exclusive jurisdiction of
the arbitral tribunal, transparency in the selection of arbitrators, and the
application of arbitration rules. China shall think about how it can learn from
the existing international sports arbitration system and promote the
development of China’s sports arbitration institutions and rules.
