2002 Olympic silver medalist, choreographer Ilya Averbukh I am convinced that Russian figure skaters will return to the international stage and prove their worth.
Earlier on Friday, Acting President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Anton Sikharulidze said that the Russian team will prepare for the 2026 Olympics. Currently, Russian figure skaters are suspended of their participation in competitions under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU) due to the situation in Ukraine.
“Such words are very important, I am sure that Anton, a man undoubtedly well respected by all, will defend the rights of our athletes. He knows a little more, his words are certainly encouraging. The current situation is a injustice, illegal exclusion Justice will prevail and the guys will come back and prove with every performance that Russian figure skating is one of the strongest in the world,” Averbukh told .
The XXV Olympic Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo will be held from February 6 to 22, 2026.
