Olympic ice dancing champion Natalia Bestemyanova believes that Russian figure skaters will participate in the 2026 Olympics.
Acting President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Anton Sikharulidze said on Friday that the Russian team will prepare for the 2026 Olympics. Currently, Russian figure skaters are suspended from participation to competitions under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU) due to the situation in Ukraine.
— Of course, I believe that our skaters will perform at the Olympic Games in Milan. Now at the Summer Games our guys will compete in neutral status, which means there will be the same possibility at the 2026 Olympics. It will be difficult because of quotas if we do not participate in the World Championships in 2025 “It is important that we are allowed to participate in the World Cup next year,” Bestemyanova told .
The XXV Olympic Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo will be held from February 6 to 22, 2026.
