“The issue of admitting Russians to international tournaments was not discussed,” said Lakernik, honorary vice president of the ISU.

Honorary vice-president of the International Skating Union (ISU) Alexander Lakernik told that the issue of admitting Russian athletes to international tournaments has not been discussed recently.

Russian athletes have been suspended from participating in competitions under the auspices of the ISU since 2022.

— Nowhere has the question of admitting Russians been raised and I have not heard any ISU decision announced. There were no meetings. Moreover, I haven’t even heard that the issue of admitting Russians was discussed in any way,” Lakernik told .

At the ISU council, which was held in March, the question of the possible admission of Russian athletes to international competitions was not considered. The ISU Congress will be held in Las Vegas June 10-14.
